Samsung LNOA550 40-Inch HDTV
First I had only bought books from Amazon, did not know they sold other items. Second the purchase from Amazon saved me around $300.00, third the white glove delivery was exactly as they said it would be, fourth the TV works perfect and fifth, the next time I go to buy something I will check Amazon first. Thanks

Excellent picture; great price
Amazon had an excellent price for the Samsung LN40A550 40 inch LCD TV. The picture is great and features as advertized. Of course, most higher-end HDTVs have excellent quality.

Returned TV Because of Faulty Seam at Bottom of Set
I don't know if this problem is related to Samsungs in general or just this particular model, but after I turned the TV on, I noticed a small glowing light just below the screen. At first, I thought it was part of some "cool design feature", but after taking a closer look, I realized that this was caused by an improperly sealed trim at the bottom edge of the set that was allowing light to escape through. Naturally I was disappointed because this was my first HDTV. I ended up returning the TV for a refund because I didn't want to take a chance on an exchange having the same problem. On a positive note, because I purchased the TV from Amazon and not one of their vendors, I was able to get a full refund including shipping. Otherwise, I might not have received a full and prompt credit on my card.

This TV is Awesome !
I ordered my TV on Wednesday and expected it to come around Thanksgiving.. the thing was delivered and set up by the delivery guys Saturday the week I ordered. IT is amazing, I popped a blue ray, Get Smart, with the rock and steve carrel into my PS3 and the picture was incredibly clear. I used coinstar to get an amazon egift card, and it knocked the price of my TV down to around 850 $ great deal for such a great TV! I also signed up for the Amazon Visa Card and received free financing for the 1st three months. Can't get any better I love my new toy. I have used it for only a day now but I already understand what others were saying about the speakers.. they are a little on low volume side even if i crank it up to an above mid level volume. So I think Im gonna invest in one of those soundbars and Subs that Sony makes they got good reviews on CNET.
Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Very Pleased Customer
I purchased this item 11/17/2008; I received it the morning of 11/22/2008. I would have to say I'm very pleased with the amount of time it took to get to my front door. This TV came with free shipping so I couldn't go wrong. Like all of you I read many reviews and do countless hours of research before I purchase something, especially something I have not seen with my own eyes, so I count on all of you. I'm hoping my review will help the inquisitive people out there on this product. I used to be a huge Sony fan, I mean huge!! I was at Best Buy one day several months ago a bought a Panasonic plasma. I was very excited it was a 46" Vera, or whatever they are called. I hooked it up, put it on the wall and I was so disappointed with the picture. I took the TV back the next day. I was looking at Samsungs (LCD) and noticed the LN40a650. I was very impressed, but not with the price. I learned something new that day. I learned about 120Hz fresh. Little spendy for my blood, but fell in love with it. I decided to purchase it, but of course it was not in stock, but they found it at another store. I jumped in my truck and drove to it. When I got there I saw my TV in a box sitting under the 52" version of mine. It was marked about $400 less then the other store. I had to get it. I got this TV home (LN52A650) hooked it up threw it on the wall and I was complete. My girlfriend purchased a blue ray that day. Sony BDP-300 which made picture jump out at me. I was so impressed and I'm pretty much an electronics geek. I was finally pleased. Anything I plugged into this TV I was happy. My point is Samsung rock. I would have to say better than Sony. Sony is good, but way over priced. For the person that is looking for a great TV grab the ln52a650 you will be pleased. Ok, Back to this TV. Its not 120 Hz refresh, but it does a great job. I am very pleased with it. This TV went right in my bedroom. I have to express the importance of going to Samsungs web site and updating the firmware right away. Be sure to follow the directions. There are currently two updates for this TV. 1005 and 1006. Grab a flash disk and get it done. I have read people having issues with things in the past models. Get the TV to date. It will work great. I just added a firmware update to my 650 made the film mode more realistic. This TV is just as good minus the 120 Hz refresh. If your looking for quality grab this TV if you're like me you will be very content. Oh by the way back to the blue ray. DO NOT get the 300 series go up to the 350 with the Sony its alot faster start up, you can hook it up to the internet for the firmware updates and it will put out in HD Audio.
