I wanted a midsize HDTV for my bedroom. This tv fit the bill size wise and price wise. The picture is beautiful but the sound was like an AM radio, very tinny with little bass. I tried adjusting the sound manually and had no success so I called Samsung and they did send a repair person to exchange the speakers at no cost to me. The sound quality was a tiny bit better but I still couldn't stand it. Samsung advised me that most people have a home entertainment system and therefore don't use the tv's speakers but that did little to help me, I didn't want to have a bulky sound system in my bedroom. Finally I found a solution at Target where I purchased a speaker bar that had a built in sub-woofer and IPOD dock. It only cost $100 so it didn't break the bank and made the tv sound a million times better and didn't take up much room. It's a shame that Samsung can't put the same amount of effort they do for the picture quality into the sound quality. So, if you already have a home theater system to connect this to you are golden, if not, get a different tv or plan on buying new speakers if sound is a priority to you.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
