Very Satisfied

At first I purchased one a 440D, but I needed something with a vga connection so I can hook my laptop up to my television. Well I decided on a step up to a 550D model which had several outputs which was perfect because I have several components. I wish there was more to do with the content section. I think I was one model short of being able to get the apps. It's an awesome television.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, it's a samsung
Cons: no "content" content
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far I'm satisfied with my purchase. With help from a friend we wall mounted it and it looks great. Navigating and setup was a little bit of an issue for me though but after some trial and error I got a better handle on it. Because we use it for general everyday tv watching, no gaming or streaming movies I can't help you there with a review. My only regret, and it's a minor one is that maybe I should've went with a bigger screen size 46-50 inch instead of the 40". The new set replaced a 32" crt and it was fine.That's why we thought a 40" was big enough.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Outstanding Visuals

The picture is amazing even from various angles. I have a PS3 hooked up to it and it gave new life to my games and DVD's.
There are two minor issues which needs to be brought up.
ConnectShare: It won't read Mac formatted media. You'll need to use Disk Utility and format them in MS-DOS format. Even though it says it won't read a file, hit RETURN on the remote and you'll see two icons for each file. The movie reel files will play while the yellow caution icons won't. Why do this? This should be transparent and should only have one icon visible.

The speaker sound quality is also excellent, but...
There's a micro-jack so you can hook up headphones. But the sound volume can not be controlled. On a scale of 1-10 it's a 5. I'd rather it be a 7. The headphones I use do have a volume control which doesn't help at all. It would be nice to know an inexpensive way to fix this.

Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, built-in media player
Cons: can't adjust headphone audio

This TV has the most brilliant colors.

We have had this TV for nearly two weeks and are still awed by the brilliant colors especially in HD. We use external speakers but the internal speakers have good clarity. The TV was a little heavier than others we looked at requiring two people to assemble it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color

I purchased this TV online based on opinions. They were right. Great TV for the price an quality. No smearing problems or gaming problems. I play a lot of Xbox FPS and in the game mode everything is sharp and clear in motion. The images seem to jump out at you.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
