Rating: - so glad we got this tv
we just bought ours and are now enjoying this beautiful tv. we've had it now for 3 days and the 52" size is just stunning and the picture is awesome. the shipping process through amazon was painless and the shipment came on time. probably like you, i was skeptical of buying through the internet such a huge item, but amazon was painless and the tv is fantastic. great bargain for the price. i hope that our new samsung tv stays this way (i've read the other reviews!) and that i don't have to find myself dealing with samsung warranty service. i'm keeping my fingers crossed! everyone seems to be knocking the speaker quality, but i don't think the speakers are that bad to be honest. i'm not one of those high-tech type people, so maybe i don't know what i'm missing. but the speakers on this tv sound fine to me even when i watch dvd movies. overall i'm happy that we got this tv.
Rating: - Samsung LCD "It's AWESOME"
I purchased this TV along with the Samsung Blue Ray DVD player and three of the 1.3 HDMI cables offered via Amazon for a very reasonable price. The TV is AWESOME. I did an extensive research on all similare type LCD TV's (52 inch) and have found the Samsung 52A550 to be just incredible. The picture is crystal clear and the hookup process was easy. I was worried about the 60hz vs 120hz and have found that I cannot tell the difference. There are some fuzzy images in the backgrounds on various channels but that is more likely the type of camera used and not the TV. When you go to true HD viewing (ie ESPN, HGTV) the picture is beyond words. Either way, HD or Standard viewing, this TV performs. When I used the Blue Ray DVD player. OMG, what a picture. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this TV to anybody, espcecially for the price. Also, regarding the glare, there is NONE. I was amazed. As for the white glove dilevery, that was great too. The driver from Pilot Trucking drove to my door, unloaded and unboxed the TV, made sure it worked and took the trash out with him when he left. All in all excellent service. Thanks AMAZON....
Rating: - Great TV
I chose the LN52A550 becuase it had a non glare screen. The picture is excellent. There is motion blur as with all LCD's but you have to look for it to notice it on this TV. The 5MS response time helps to minimize the effect. If you have a room with windows this is a great choice.
Amazon's price was excellent and the shipping company CEVA was on time and made sure everything worked. This is the second TV I have bought from Amazon. Two of my freinds also purchased TV's from Amazon with no problems.
Rating: - Excellent TV, no complaints
I bought this in May 2008 and could not be happier with my decision. If you are condsidering this TV you may also be looking at the 6, 7, or 8 series Samsung LCDs of the same size. I did not find the faster refresh rate worth the money to upgrade to the 6 series, and one feature I like on this TV that the higher series change is the screen protector. This TV has a typical LCD screen, where as the higher level "touch of color" models put a reflective piece in front of it. This is just a matter of opinion, but for day-time viewing there is less glare with this screen.
Picture quality is excellent, I play lots of Xbox 360 and watch lots of movies (DVD, HD-DVD, Blu Ray) in full 1080p and the picture is stunning. The other TV I was considering (similar in size/price) was the 50" 1080p Plasma from Samsung. When it came down to it I got a better deal on this one and that pushed me to this set, but here is what I considered with the plasma-
Plasma has deeper colors (+)
Uses more power (although it can be calibrated to help) (-)
Plasma has a glass screen=more reflective in daytime viewing (-)
If you are looking for an everyday, anytime use TV, this will be a good choice. If you are a hardcore gamer, have a darker room with no windows/low light, then plasma may be the way to go, and if you want to shell out the extra cash, go for a model with the 120Hz refresh rate, but personally I did not find it worth the money.
The only complaint I have about this TV is the sound- not so great. My wife prefers to just turn on the TV and watch it (not deal with the receiver, just stick with the basics) and she is not bothered by the sound, but I have it hooked up to surround sound (most of you probably will) and therefore I could care less how the stock speakers sound. I will probably be purchasing a smaller version of this same set later on for regular viewing and move the 52" into a game/movie room, and at that point the TV speakers will be disabled. Just something to keep in mind if you don't plan on using this set with a surround sound system.
Rating: - Poor Quality and Customer Service
20 Month old TV picture died (still has sound). No service in San Diego, and no response from authorized repair center after 3 calls. Bad circuit board which seems common if you Google search Samsung TV problems. Samsung service told me I was out of luck. Parts/labor to repair was quoted at over $500 when I finally got a Sears repair man to come out. For a premium quality product like Samsung, they take no pride in quality and have poor customer service. BUY AT YOUR OWN PERIL....."
