The box arrived much sooner than the delivery schedule stated. I was surprised at the small amount of packing material that surrounded the TV when I unpacked it.
The TV arrived still set in the "SHOP" mode with all sections at their maximum settings. It took around 90 minutes to set up the TV using the onscreen menu for color, sound, channels, etc. I used a guide I found online at a review site for the next larger size Samsung to speed up the process of set-up. Without it to get me in the "ballpark", It probably would have took an hour longer to get it right. I am disappointed with the AUTOSOUND option which states it controls volume at a standard level. This feature is useless when it comes to commericals that literally turn up the volume automatically. The surround sound feature does work reasonably well. The picture is "standard" with receiving signals that are not HD.
I will appreciate the feature of software upgrades to the set as they become available. Maybe they will fix the auto sound problem in the next upgrade. Overall, the great TV for a small display space.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
