 very nice image quality August 1, 2010
A. Siegel
This was really easy to set up after reading a few pages of instruction takes away any problems you might have and the buttons are located in much the same place as any other controller I have ever used. The picture is sharp. The screen is large but not so big as to seem too hard to deal with. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the set. I received the TV on the day promised. The shipper was willing to unpack and set it up, however, I elected to do that myself. It was actually very easy. Basically, plug it in, attach the cable, and sit back and watch. The controls on the remote were intuitive. The concern about the white buttons is not really a concern.

i have a problem buying ANYTHING from 6th ave after my last experience ...
i bought a TV from them and received it fully packaged and not working sending the tv back was an issue for me as i do not live in the us so i decided to try to fix it on my own as 6th ave offered no help they told me tvs this size have to be dealt with the manufacturer.. upon taking the tv to be fixed we realized the inside of the tv had been through war as if they sold me a used or "refurbished" tv .... never the less i will never support this website again... thats my experience with them ... ive bought several things from amazon and anytime there is a problem they would see to it immediately thank you for that amazon but 6th ave ... POOR POOR POOR ....
Best I have owned July 8, 2010

Granted, I ordered the TV in the winter time and live in the Midwest. I was expecting it to be delayed, as the many blizzards that rip through this area during this time of the year. What I was not expecting was making all the calls I did just to track my TV down!! Let alone, I find out it had been deferred several times to other locations all over and around the city I live in. My town is not that small (around 90,000 people) and shipping shouldn't have been as frustrating as it was. And after all my aggravations, I did receive my television, perfectly in-tact... just 2 weeks later than I anticipated. If you must pay a bit more and have UPS ship it, I would highly recommend doing that. The money you save is not worth the hassle that this shipper caused me. This TV is stunning. It has a great picture and look to the screen quality. The ToC gives a nice asthetic feel to it and I love how my PS3 games and Blu-ray movies appear on the television. I definitely recommend the TV to anyone looking for a nice, relatively large flat screen for a reasonable price. However, if the shipper is Pilot Air or through this sight specifically, I DO NOT recommend ordering it.

Samsung poor quality July 1, 2010

I would have never thought that Samsung would have issues. My 46" LN46A550 just got repaired. It is 20 months old. Samsung was/is using lower voltage capacitors than is required on their boards. Mine had 10 volt ones in a 12 volt spot. Samsung has a list of all of the model numbers with this issue. The repair man came over and wanted to flip my TV on the screen face down on my couch. My wife was home and asked him what he was doing. He said that it was safe because it was a leather couch. My wife insisted that he wait until she put a blanket down. He seemed annoyed. Samsung has poor quality control lately but they did honor this problem. It is a one time fix. If it were something else broken, they would have charged me hundreds of dollars to fix it. At a minimum, you would have to pay for the diagnostic on it even if the repair was too much for your pocket.
