Product Description
Step up to the power of Full HD on a 52-inch LCD screen, with Samsung's LN52B550. The amazing 1080p resolution - the highest available - with wide color enhancer renders the most crisp vivid tones, in every frame for the most realistic picture quality. Black tones and shadows are strikingly superb, thanks to the 70,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The attractive Touch of Color design - a red accent at the bezel's edge - lights up any room. A fast 6ms response time offers smooth, clear action. Watch or listen to files from your favorite media player, using the USB 2.0 input. Connecting your DVD, cable or satellite HD box, or Blu-ray Disc player is a snap, with four HDMI inputs. And thanks to SRS TruSurround HD technology, all the HD excitement sounds as incredible as it looks.

 Really enjoying the experience March 4, 2010
DRottlovr (Topeka, KS, USA)
This is a great value and everyone loves the picture. It's got a sharp picture with fantastic color. I have made a few tweaks to get it how I like it (surprisingly found the tweaks I did on my own match almost exactly to the calibration settings recommended here by several reviewers). The sound is okay - but I agree with a lot of other reviewers that surround sound would make a vast improvement. I plan to get a new surround sound system soon - will not mess with the old system I have that has never worked right.
Delivery could not have been better. I got a call less than 48 hours after I had placed my order that they were ready to deliver. The delivery company was very accommodating to my schedule. We had extremely cold weather the day of delivery along with some bad roads; the company kept in contact with me to let me know when to expect delivery. Two men brought the TV in, unpacked it, set it up then explained they couldn't turn it on because of the extreme cold and advised me to wait at least 2 hours before I turned it on. I used that opportunity to go purchase an HDMI cable (not included, so be prepared if you don't have one) and a longer cable for my DVD player and was then AMAZED at the picture. Great product and fantastic service as usual from Amazon!
Beautiful picture; looks great! Four and a half stars March 1, 2010
Nerdhead (San Francisco, CA)
Received this last week, and finally got it mounted on the wall. Little experience so far with set, but will say this: the picture is big, bright, and beautiful!! Can't comment on the sound yet, since I mostly pipe everything through the A/V receiver. You'll probably want to tweak the video settings to get it just the way you want.
Some notes to those who might be interested:
1. HDMI and other inputs are nearly flush with back panel, and perpendicular to screen, so if you plan to wall-mount this, you'll want 90-degree cables or spring for a bunch of 90-degree adapters. Otherwise, your cables will be kinked hard against the wall, making it extremely difficult to mount flat and impossible if you want to tilt it downward slightly. Not an issue if you plan to use it on its stand. However, there is one set of side-mounted inputs (HDMI and composite only), which alleviates this problem somewhat.
2. It might be just me, or the mounting arms, but the set was off-level after mounting (off by 0.4 degrees) even though the wall support bracket was measured as level to 0.0 degrees when installed (measured with a digital level). Hard to determine where the fault is; the bracket might have shifted after mounting, or the mounting holes on the set were originally slightly misaligned. Either way, will have to shim to level.
3. Set does not have S-video inputs, important for those who might want to connect any older S-video components.
4. Very stylish design. High gloss bezel, will look great in any room. Matte screen eliminates glare.
Might be the best value in basic 52" LCD name-brand sets. Does not have internet capabilities, LED back lighting, nor 120/240 Hz refresh rates, but it'll be hard to beat this TV for value. In spite of lacking the aforementioned features, the picture is very bright and beautiful, with little noticeable lag. This is an IMPRESSIVE television.
Awesome TV February 26, 2010
Brent Helling (Fort Worth, TX)
TV is awesome! Great picture, received very quickly even though an ice storm shut us down the week of delivery. I recommend to everyone.
WOW......WHAT A GREAT VALUE!! February 22, 2010

I am very happy with this television...in the beginning I had a problem with the color, but quickly learned how to make it right. Once we connected the HDMI cable the picture was beautiful and once we connected the surrond sound it was amazing. Never thought I would be able to afford an LCD television at this size for this price. Make sure you get the warranty it will be worth it. We had a projection television we purchased about 4 years ago, didn't get a extended warranty, stoped working about a year ago. You can't go wrong with this television, it is a nice quality televison at a great price. This is my first Samsung television, I have two Vizio's and they are good quality televison also.
Great T.V.! February 13, 2010
