This LCD when used with a HD signal is the best in the 37 inch class. It has all the connection ports you could need, with 3 HDMI ports included. No other LCD could compare in picture quality at this price. But you must have a HD signal, and you must subscribe to a provider that offers 100% digital. Otherwise, all of your channels will look terrible except for the HD channels. If you have Comcast forget about watching anything other then the HD channels. I cannot write enough good things about the picture quality. However, how Samsung allowed this model to reach the consumer market with its audio system is disturbing. This TV "HAS NO BASS"!!!!!!! My PC speakers sound like a multiplex theater compared to these! Honestly, if anyone writes that bass quality is an individual taste, and writes that this TV has "just fine" bass, DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. THIS TV HAS NO BASS, EVEN WHEN USING THE EQUALIZER BLASTED AT FULL CAPACITY! I GUESS SAMSUNG JUST WANTED YOU TO INVEST IN A THEATER SYSTEM TOO. MY WIFE LOVES THE PICTURE QUALITY SO MUCH, I GUESS ITS A KEEPER. Since we use this tv in the bedroom, a theater system is totally out of the question. I plan to buy the gigaworks T40s as "plug-n-plays". Amazon has a great deal on them. Get more detail about Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
