Date: 2008-10-30 Great balance between price and performance As a budget-conscious college student with a newly acquired PS3, I spent the better part of 6 months researching TVs with one goal in mind: get a great picture within a $1000 price point. Ultimately, after reading online reviews, I settled on this TV for a few reasons: 1) GREAT contrast ratio, darkness level, and color 2)1080p (although the difference from 720p isn't particularly noticeable, unless you HDMI the TV as a computer monitor) 3) 40" is plenty of size for a dorm room, 4) the non glossy screen. In my dorm room, sometimes it is impossible to turn off all of the lights or cover the windows. Thankfully, the matte finish on the screen makes the tv look great, even in normal or even brightly lit rooms. Samsung is a great brand, the 550 series is a great series. The only thing that has bothered me about the TV is the reception of the remote. The remote itself is great, but sometimes the TV does not respond to the remote unless you point it in just the right spot. Date: 2008-10-30 MB This is a great TV. I agree that the sound could be better, but it can be improved if you make adjustments with the onboard equalizer. I got it ahead of schedule and had no problems with delivery even though I live in a fairly rural area. OK, I'll admit my red-neck delivery guy didn't wear white gloves, but the set got here safely, and is working perfectly! Date: 2008-10-30 great great picture! i also use it as a GIANT computer monitor. it is very nice to surf the net from the couch! Date: 2008-10-30 Perfect Television I did extensive research before I bought this TV. Went to Best Buy to view some different models, checked out Consumer Reports for ratings, and read many reviews online. I'm very happy with it. Amazon shipped it quickly...the shipping company called the day before to make sure someone would be home. (Always have the shipper open the package before leaving your home so you can look over your TV for any damages.) There are plenty of adjustable color features to fine tune the picture to your space...which is something all stores do to optimize the picture under the store lights. If you're looking for a 40" LCD this TV is a great choice. Date: 2008-10-28 Nice Its nice. I wish I could use the PIP for more than just basic channels though. I expected to be able to watch two components at once.. but I am only able to watch "TV" through the PIP and since I have an HD cable box, I cannot watch anything but static. If any one knows a way around this, I would love to hear. My email is: Murda Was Da Case 187 @ Yah Oo.com without any spaces.
