I received the the Samsung in great condition and the delivery person brought it inside where I took over the set up. It was set up friendly (thank the Lord). The 37A550 was up and running within 30 minutes. It has all the hookups that you could ask for, laptops, camera, camcorders and more. The price was below $1000 plus they were asking for when it came out.
The Samsung picture is Awesome and I would recommend this product to anyone.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
I recently ordered the Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV. I am very pleased. It was super easy to set up. The picture is fantastic. I comparison shopped for a couple of months prior to ordering this TV. I considered the Sony & LG, but was unable to afford these. The Samsung TV is affordable and is very high quality. I couldn't ask for a better TV.
Some who reviewed this TV complained about the remote. This remote is one of the best I have ever had. You can practically poing the remote in any direction you want, and it still works.
I have the TV hooked up to my surround sound system. The sound is awesome.
If you are looking for a high quality LCD television, you will not be disappointed with this one. You can order with confidence!!!
I ordered directly from Amazon and opted for the free shipping. The free shipping was through CEVA. I read terrible reviews about CEVA after my order had already been placed, and I was very concerned. It took approximately 2 weeks for me to receive the TV, but the communication through CEVA was great. They called the day before to schedule a delivery time, then called as they were approaching my home. The TV was in perfect shape. I just think we live in "microwave society" where we want everything right away and have lost the art of being patient. If you are willing to be patient, you won't have any problems with CEVA.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
I've had this TV for about a month now, and I echo every positive thing people have said about it. I agree that the speakers are not the greatest, but I've got it connected to my home audio system - it's great!Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.

What I was not told when I purchased this TV was that I would get a worse picture when viewing analog cable that I got with my 11 year old Sony. I was pretty much forced to subscribe to digital cable. The so called "auto audio" is totally useless. The commercials still scream loud enough to blow ear drums with or without this "function" activated. My main complaint is the switching of TV to DVD or VCR. With the Sony, it was a push of one button. With the Samsung, I have to go to the menu, find the source selection function and switch signal source from TV to "Component 1 or 2. Reverse to go back to TV. Unacceptable. Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
Perfect size for me, not too big and not too small. Picture is good. Lots of options for viewing. Price was what I expected. And it was mailed to my home, loved that.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
This pictute is as good as or better than a Sony TV for a lot less money.
As others have pointed out the sound is really poor on Samsung. I agree and have, as others have done, used my Bose system for sound.
This makes this TV perfect.
I needed a 37" Tv because I have an entertainment center that I would not replace. Sony had a 37' tv but the speakers made it too big for my entertainment center.
I am very, very pleased with my purchse of Samsung.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
Bought this in November and it is well worth the money. We don't have cable, but get excellent over the air HD reception with this tv. It is amazing that the non-cable quality of this TV is this good. Plus, shipping was easy and this TV was a great deal.
Well worth it if you are in the market for a digital TV.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
Bought this back in September. After one month, TV started to fail: after an hour the image on the screen would go to black (only sound would be available), and I would have to turn off / on the TV to get the image back. So, I went to the store and they exchanged it for a new one.
Unfortunately, the problem appeared again on the new set, just after two months after the exchange. Now, I'm dealing with samsung and the local service providers and they both are just terrible.
You can find there are some more cases like this if you search the internet (I'm not the only one). It seems the problem is created by . connecting 2 / 3 HDMI devices at the same time (I have three: Direct TV, PS3 & Apple TV). So far, local service provider told me to "disconnect everything and just plug an air antenna". Of course, the problem appeared again. But what's the purpose of not connecting HDMI devices when that's the whole purpose of buying an HD TV set in the first place?
Terrible product. And terrible service. Don't buy Samsung at all.

My first set did come damaged, but because i went with Amazon, it was no problem whatever and i still had my set way before Christmas. Amazon is great to deal with and i will continue to recommend them highly, Ceva who was the company contracted in my area to deliver the set was outstanding...giving me courtesy calls when the set arrived in order to arrange delivery and again when they were on their way to deliver -Outstanding in today's world of P-O-O-R customer service. Now, as for the set itself - Consumer Reports rates it tops and it IS 100% best TV for the price for Aesthetics, Picture is magnificant, you can play with peripherals if you're in to photos and things, and the sound that many people have complained about i can't understand what they were complaining about because you can go in the menu and set it however you'd like...now for the true audiophiles, you wouldn't buy a set of this magnitude for the superior sound anyway would you? Most of my audiophile friends run their sets through a receiver/mixer system for 5 or 7:1 surround. Anyway, i would buy this set again even over the LG.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
The Samsung 37-inch LCD HDTV is an excellent product with outstanding contrasts (deep blacks, bright colors) and no blurring due to tracking. The HDTV picture is crystal clear. The setup menu is very user friendly.
We use it together with Dish's HDTV receiver and a small antenna for local channels. The picture is outstanding in both situations.
We like the small lighted area at the center bottom of the screen when the TV is turned on. It takes several seconds before picture and sound appear, so this lighted area lets you know that the set was indeed turned on.
The internal speakers give very decent sound and the sound controls allow a lot of flexibility.
With the many modes of signal input to the TV (standard definition, an old VCR, an old DVD, antenna, HDTV receiver) the Samsung automatically chooses which screen size to use. Old VHS tapes and DVD's look much better on this set than on the old 32" tube analog set it replaced.
No complaints so far.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
We love this tv...its our second flat screen tv and the TV is everything that the ad and product reviews promised it would be. Some reviewers have said the that sound on this is somewhat tinny, but we didn't find that to be the case. We especially like the swivel stand and the extra HDMI hook ups. Overall, we've fund Samsung flat panels to be a very good buy with decent pricing.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
I bought this before Thanksgiving break. So far, the TV has been great. I love playing my PS3 on it and the graphics are amazing! I found it to be very user friendly and the HD channels rock! Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
I bought this TV just before the holidays and I am VERY satisfied with it. What a great picture and viberant colors.

This television is perfect. I personally looked for over a year before I chose this tv.
Let me just list the Pros and the Cons:
Pros:
Ability to make any video source coming through the tv perfectly stretch to fit the screen, even tv shows playing on Analog channels & DVD's that aren't fullscreen.
Nice little song that plays when the TV turns on
PIP, so that if someone wants to watch TV and another person wants to game, that's possible on the same screen, even on Analog cable
You can't get a better picture Quality currently, as long as your sending an HD/Digitial Source through it.
Internal Antenna, that will get channels over the air
Swivel Stand
Cons:
Most Analog cable channels won't look that good on it, but we're all going to digital in Feb, so that won't be a problem
Having to clean it often, but that is sometimes a pleasure!
Overall, if you want a big TV for a great value, don't pass this one, it has every possible input that you could possibly use.

Not only was the TV outstanding but the delivery blew my mind.

This is my second Samsung LCD purchase in 14 months. The picture quality is excellent. But the sound is low budget....I was really disappointed. It's too much of a hassle to pack it all up and ship it back, so I just kept it. It's for the kids game room, and they haven't complained, so I guess no harm done. But I can hear the poor sound quality every time I watch it. I'll need to get a separate sound system, sub-woofer or something.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
Great TV for the money. It is my third Samsung LCD HDTV. Much better picture than the first one I purchased three years ago.
Lots of nice features. The sound could be better, I agree with those other reviews on the sound issue but you can live with that part.
Picture does not break up on fast action shots. Having 1080 on a 37" screen is Awesome. Samsung has GREAT customer service, they are only a call away if you need them.
If you want a great 37" HDTV get this one, it is worth the money.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.

I go this TV in June 2008. By Jan 09 the screen started going blank. I called Samsung and I was told maybe it is a lamp problem - they are selling defective televisions. I am worried about what will happen once the warranty is over - I was told an extended warranty would cost $550. At that rate, i might as well just buy a new tvGet more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
Love the picture! We have an xbox 360 attached to it (with the HDMI) and I'm just blown away on how nice it looks! So crisp and clean! I can't wait to hook up a Blu-ray player.
I would of given it 5 stars if it had better speakers. Out of the box it sounds very tinny, be sure to go into the equalizer settings and boost the levels, or adjust to your liking. And also note, if you boost to high and you like to listen to it loud, you might get "rattle" out of your speakers. Might be just my TV that does that, but just a warning. I have mine hooked up to a stereo so I'm not too concerned. Also, my wife (not into tech stuff) is very disappointed that she can not just turn on the tv and watch it. She does not want to have to turn on a stereo and a tv and a cable box and so on and so on.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
We have it for about a month now. I went to a local electronic store determined to buy a Sony m-series 37", but after standing in front of the array of TV's, this one won my heart. Excellent picture quality. White is bright and pure, color has nice contrast, black is deep. The piano-black framing was simple, classic and beautiful. The remote has good size and useful buttons, easy to use config, and easy to hold. The pause between channel swiching is acceptable (I think Sony takes half a second too long, which is the biggest issue I have with Sony.). Everyone in my family loves this TV. At the time I bought it, Amazon's price was significantly lower than any of the local store on-sale prices. It took about a week to arrive my home in southern CA. I thought this was an excellent buy.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
I looked and did research for months to find the best quality 37" 1080P LCD TV and everything points to this model. After using this TV in my home office for 2 months I can verify all the positive reviews on this unit.
Sound is excellent if you room is not your main living room. Picture is crystal clear and all of my guest say the same thing " Holy $#$ the picture is amazing"
Remote is a bit large and kind of useless if you have a cable box or direct TV like i do.
Mount this unit on the wall in a spare room not your main room and you will be completely satisfied. also purchase a protection plan because this baby gets hot.
The 5 year plan plus TV shipped was under $1,000
I have a Hitachi 60",Sony 55" & 22" HP LCds and this Samsung blows them all away. Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.

The TV was delivered just last week with Amazon's White Glove service. The delivery guy unpacked the box and set up the TV and even offered to remove all of the packaging! All of this at NO charge from Amazon.
This is our 2nd Samsung. We also have two Sharp LCDs. I picked the Samsung based on Consumer Reports reviews. The TV is outstanding and just the right size for our "adult" den. We did not want a TV to over power the room and the 37" is perfect. I researched all of the Samsung different models before choosing the 550. The 550 gives the right balance of features and price. Amazon's price beat Circuit City's "going out of business" price by over a $100!Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
This is our third Samsung. The first was a 32" for use in our bedroom.The second was bought for our kitchen (the only unit that I could find in white). When our daughter got married we decided to give them an HDTV as a wedding gift. Since we were very happy with the two previous sets purchased- we opted for another Samsung. Our daughter is happy with her set too. All three sets are uniform in performance, sharp with very good sound and true color. Free shipping was a nice bonus.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
I bought one of these TVs earlier in 2008 for myself. Great picture and easy to use. This is a 60 hrz machine, but I do not notice much, if any blurring of the picture during fast action. Not sure it would be worth the extra money to go to a 120 hrz machine. Sound from the speakers is only average quality, but I hooked the TV up to a theatre sound system which works great.
I liked the TV so much that I recommended it to my sister in law. She bought one through Amazon and is very happy with it. I like to purchase direct from Amazon.com whenever possible. Never had a problem and I have purchased a number of items from them. Delivery is prompt and often included in the price. Saving sales tax is also nice.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
This is the third Samsung HDTV I've purchased from Amazon -- one DLP and two LCDs.
First, a word about getting your large TV from Amazon. In all three cases, the TV arrived on the scheduled date or earlier, with no damage. I'm not sure how the long-range shipping was handled, but the final delivery was handled by a local trucking company that was friendly, courteous, and right on time. They even offered to unbox the unit. Because of Amazon's excellent price and delivery, I'd recommend them to anyone shopping for an HDTV.
Second, regarding Samsung, I've become a huge fan of their products. In addition to the three HDTVs, my home has two Samsung double-door refrigerators that replaced aging Subzero units at a much lower price and (I believe) higher quality. I also have a couple of Samsung computer monitors.
Like the other Samsung TVs, the 37-inch LN37A550 has an excellent picture, a good assortment of inputs including 3 HDMI and a VGA port. It also supports the CEC protocol, which can simplify integration with other CEC-compatible products such as home theater systems and DVD players. Its weak point is the speakers, but that's not unusual for any LCD TV due to the limitations of the flat panel form factor. Fortunately, the market abounds with inexpensive sound systems, including several from Samsung that support CEC.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
I love this tv. It's features are easy to access. i was able to connect the blu-ray without a problem. PIP works great. Beautiful picture, sound quality is good.
