HDTV March 4, 2010
Trevor W. (Aspen, CO)
This TV is great. Especially for the price. When I first switched over to HD, the difference is amazing. As far as this tv goes, the picture is very good. Sound is alright if you are just listening through the TV speackers. The Touch of Color is almost non-existent and seems to be a marketing ploy. The touch sensitive buttons on the actual unit are very hard to operate and they do not seem to light up making them even more difficult to find and use. The 60 hz of this tv used to not bother me too much but after watching a lot of sports, it becomes apparent that the refresh rate is a little slow. Overall this tv is a great buy, especially for a new hdtv owner. Now if i had only gotten the bigger one...

Please review posts at this and related sites about Samsung LCD TVs. Mine failed at 18 months - many, many, others have had similar experiences. Samsung offered no resolution since the warranty ran out at 12 months.

I needed to replace a defective Magnovox TV (32" LCD flat screen) so choose this Samsung LN40B550 40" 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color. I started researching different brands of TV's, read reviews (very helpful), shopped prices and finally decided on this Samsung model. I found this same set on sale at Costco with free shipping but decided to check out prices at Amazon. I discovered I was able to save consider money (over $200.00 plus) by purchasing it through Amazon even with paying extra shipping charge. I bought my set on 2/6 and it was brought to my home on 2/14 by freight company (they could have delivered it a few days earlier but that didn't fit my schedule). The set was brought into my home, unpacked, plugged in to make sure it was working, remote checked and I was given option of having box taken away. What a great delivery process! I was able to hook it up to cable box, attach my blue ray disc player Wii console by myself (I'm a senior). This TV is awesome the right choice for me. Since I'm not an electronic wizard I was looking for a TV that suited my needs. This certainly does that more. I would recommend this Samsung model, picture color is beautiful, remote is perfect size, manual gives all the instruction I need, sound is good, easy to operate perfect for my bedroom. Watching the Olympics on my new TV is a great experience.
Very good ! February 5, 2010

You have to compare model numbers when your comparing ratings and prices. There seems to be too many and can be confusing. This particular model lives up to my expectations.
