What You Should Know about the LN46A550

Good Fit For a Living Room

HDTVs with a diagonal screen size between 46 and 49 inches, such as this model, are LCDs or plasmas, usually with a resolution of 1366 by 768 or 1920 by 1080 (1080p). The optimum viewing distance for HDTV screens like these is generally considered to be about 7.5 to 8 feet. That makes a television of this size appropriate for a range of living areas, such as a large den or bedroom, a living room, or a game room.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Crystal Clear Picture Quality. Very Good Energy saver. Easy to Setup. Lots of input ports! Superb movie quality!

Weaknesses: It's a bit pricey!

Overall Evaluation: This is an absolute MUST for everyone looking to get a new HDTV! ...BUT, the price is a little to high in my opinion, I never would have got one if I never got mine for FREE!. Luckily a friend recommended this website to me before I went and bought one: **- www.hdtv.justgetitfree.com - ** . I checked out the website, completed ONE simple offer and met the requirements to receive one for FREE, it arrived a month later in the post! It was also shown on BBC and CNN news!!

Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

Strengths: Sharp, clear picture. Great color. Easy to use remote and TV menu. Plenty of bang for the buck.

Weaknesses: No weaknesses for me.

Overall Evaluation: The Samsung LN46A550 is my first HDTV, and I couldn't be happier with it. The picture is excellent, (HD - regular TV is so-so, but that's to be expected after viewing HD broadcasts). The TV menu is very easy to understand and negotiate through. I have "lived with" my Samsung for 2 weeks, now. Out-of-the-box I only made minor adjustments to the color, (to suit my preferences). I orginally planned to purchase a 40 inch Samsung, but I "upgraded" to the 46 inch one, (better to go a bit large than regret a smaller screen size purchase), and I'm glad I did! I did a LOT of HDTV research before I purchased this TV, and I found that Samsung had consistantly been rated highly by both technical and consumer sites. If you're hesitating about purchasing this model Samsung, (or any model Samsung for that matter), don't! I'm one very satisfied customer!
