I purchased this LCD on September 4. White glove delivery was excellent, and it was delivered sooner than estimated (5 days to rural Minnesota). The color, clarity and overall picture on this LCD is incredible. Digital SD looks pretty darned good (better than on my LG plasma), and the HD picture simply blows us away. Awesome! I tweaked the settings a bit to fit our taste. I have it connected to HD cable box via HDMI cable. I tweaked the sound, and I don't find it bad it all. It's in an armoire so maybe that helps the sound resonate. Regardless, not bad sound at all. And as I said the picture is stunning and beautiful. I highly recommend this LCD. I liked it so much that I ordered the LN46A550 for our living room, which has a lot of windows in it, and which will be connected to existing Onkyo home theater. We are absolutely satisfied with the 37" LCD and with Amazon.Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
