This TV is amazing. You will love it. It arrived last week and was very easy to install (it was also lighter than what I expected. I was a little concerned of the weight because it was going on a glass top TV stand).

The picture quality is outstanding. I had a few friends around on the weekend and they were all stunned by the quality.

Some reviewers have commented on the poor sound quality. It's not that bad, but sure, it's not that great. But what do you expect? If you can afford this TV, then adding some decent speakers into the package shouldn't be too much hassle. The TV is designed to look great and clunky speakers on the side would take away from that.

I'm a gamer as well and the responsiveness of the screen is fantastic.

Overall, I am really satisfied with this purchase. 5 out of 5!

Amazing in every way!!! Picture quality is just incredible. I chose the 550 series over the 650 or 750 because they both have a glossy screen that reflects everything. Lots of windows in the room where I put my 550 and no reflection issues at all. Also with the 550, I see no ghosting when watching football or the olympics, and the reds are great. I can't see any reason to pay the extra money for the 120HZ and "fuller reds" of the 650 & 750 series. I combined the new TV with a Samsung HT-Z510 home theatre system (not then available thru Amazon, but $399 at Circuit City) They work very well together and the sound is excellent.
Amazon white delivery service was also just great. Delivered and set up in 5 days.

My recent purchase of a Samsung 550 series LCD TV has been a fantastic buy. I debated on purchasing the 550 series or one of Samsung's 600 series. After viewing both TV's side by side I could not distinguish the difference. I viewed fast action scenes and could not detect any edge blurring. The 550 performs fantastic in my room that has a great deal of sunlight. Amazon is the only way to go. They had great pricing, very professional delivery, and the TV showed up at my house in half the time they promised it would. I'm very pleased with the product.

I've had the television (Samsung LN52A550 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV ) for a while now, and I must say it's the best TV I have ever had. The first time I saw a Samsung LCD TV was at my Son's house. The clarity was so impressive and the colors so crisp and clear that I decided right then, I had to have one. One thing I did do was to obtain a DVD that instructs you on how to properly set up the TV. It comes with some colored filters to maximize the colors and contrast as well as clarity. To sum it up... The Samsung LN52A550 is well worth the money. You won't be disappointed!

I was deciding between Ln52a550 and Ln52a650. When I compared both the TVs side by side, they look 98% identical to me and $500 is a big amount for just 2%. And I also got PS3 with that savings. And Amazon is always the best.
