Has some DLNA issues

This TV is perfect as long as you are not using it with DLNA servers. This TV works great if you use it as a traditional TV. period. I wont talk anything more on that.
But if you are using DLNA then you are in for some nuisance. The biggest problem in my opinion is the lack of REW, FF, PAUSE features which are so essential for a decent DLNA client. I was surprised to see the a big manufacturer like SAMSUNG does nothing to fix this. The only good news is that they specify it clearly in the user manual so at least you don't go trying 1000 different things to enable it.
On the good side, it can play music and movie files right out of the USB drive or external memory which is exciting.

Great Picture, Fair Sound
on October 25, 2010

I have had this HDTV for about 3 months now. Every review that I had read gave props to the picture quality and it is truly a great screen. The size is nice overall and the bezel is not to large. The screen itself is not high-gloss and reduces glare tremendously.
However, the sound is where I take issue with this TV. Nowhere in any review I could find did they tell you that the speakers for this fire BACKWARDS. There are NO front firing speakers. The bezel design is solid plastic and no accommodations are made for sound. Thank goodness I didn't have this buried in an amoire or custom enclosure.
Secondly, the bass output on the speakers is almost non-existent. Even for a relatively thin HDTV, it is pretty bad. And this brings up my last pet peeve. I hooked up a small subwoofer to the TV to try and fill out the sound somewhat and discovered that the minplug audio output is NOT variable and CANNOT be selected to be. This means that as the volume goes up or down, the output remains the same.
Hardly great engineering.
Overall the picture on the TV won me over, but at this point, they are going to have to start including a sound bar with the TV to make it useable.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: poor sound quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can't Beat the SamSung 550 Series

Finally LCD's have reached a price range that I can afford. After months of sorting through flyers, I came across this TV. The price was well within my price range and I went to the store to check out the picture quality.
I walked to a wall of TV's from multiple manufacturers but there was one TV that stood out as far as picture quality. When I looked at the brand and specs of the TV, it was the one in the flyer! To make things better, the salesman dropped the price even more to match a competitors $500 price tag.
Picture quality, all the specifications that I need, and value. The ease of setup and navigation of the TV only added to my satisfaction. Great buy! You won't be disappointed.

DLNA does not work with this TV
on January 10, 2011

Expertise:Expert
I have tried everything... Windows 7 should share with this TV with no software, but the TV cannot connect. My router allows UPnP, I can see the tv from my computer, it is not blocked by the firewall. When I try to access the shared folders from the TV, it immediately says "disconnected" I have tried everything, Boxee, Serviio, PC Share Manager, PMS... In order to watch my movie collection, I had to buy another external drive and leave it attached to the TV. Really dissapointed with this TV. Other than that, everything else is fine
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, networking doesn't work!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent picture, great value. HD channels look great. Lightweight, easy to mount on my wall. Speakers sounded tinny. This was not a problem, just hooked up to my surround sound. My surround sound never sounded so good, getting true 5.1 sound for the 1st time.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: speakers sound tinny
