SAMSUNG 46" 1080p LCD HDTV - LN46A550

Pros: Bright sharp picture , nice blacks, very easy to setup. Price + no tax + free shipping = great deal

Cons: TV's speaker output is weak.

Overall Review: The reviewer "Bend over" is a couple cans short of a six pack.

Pros: Samsung quality, no dead pixels, bright, Xbox 360 and Blu-Ray look amazing, speakers are not visible, very attractive design.

Cons: Speakers sound pretty tinny. Plan to use TV with external speakers. Con then becomes Pro as speakers are not visible, cuts down on extra bevel.

Overall Review: Very fast (and free) shipping. Ordered TV on a Sunday. Was delivered to my door Wednesday morning. NewEgg rocks.

Pros: Where do I start? Crystal clear picture regardless of input (Digital Cable HDTV, PC, XBOX 360, etc), 60Hz looks FINE for everything including fast sports (was watching 1080p hockey just a few hours ago and it looked amazing), great response time. Games on the PC @ 1920 x 1080 look GREAT and have little to no ghosting or motion blur regardless of the speed of the action on the screen (played everything from Left 4 Dead to Lord of the Rings Online to Fallout 3, all looks amazing). 3 x HDMI, 2 x Component, and 2 x AV inputs are more than enough, screen does not reflect light like others that Samsung and few other companies make. Standard Definition TV looks fine, except on REALLY old television shows that are shown in non-widescreen low quality 480p (think Pre-1994) and even then it still looks fine. Menu system is intuitive (even lets you select the name of each input to match what is hooked into it). HDMI #2 is MADE to have a "DVI" connection from a computer hooked to it.

Cons: It's not free, it doesn't fetch my slippers, and it doesn't seem to want to make me soup when I am feeling sick. Oh, and the stand and area around the screen are glossy, so they attract fingerprints easily. But that isn't really a con because it looks really nice, and as long as you keep your friends from putting their greasy mitts all over your TV, it will stay nice with minimal cleaning.

Overall Review: This HDTV makes the PERFECT computer monitor. I specially built a media server/gaming computer just to put next to my entertainment center and hook into this thing. My NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT automatically recognized the TV as a Samsung HDTV and adjusted its output to 1080p. 5 minutes later after a little tweaking on the computer, I had a crystal clear 46" 1080p computer monitor. Gaming on this thing is amazing. Text is crystal clear and readable from more than 10ft away while surfing the web or editing text documents (although bumping menu font size up to 9 and setting it to bold makes strain on the eyes almost non-existent as compared to minimal depending on what color you have your theme set to in Windows). Seriously, I researched HDTV's and waited to get one for over a year. This is the best buy, best quality, and most compatible TV there is out there. Can't go wrong. Newegg shipping was FAST! Ordered on Friday, delivery service called to schedule delivery the following Wednesday.

Pros: Great picture, sound alright, light weight.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I would buy this TV again. Have not had much experience with Samsung and purchased this product on the recomendations of others on NewEgg. Thanks all. This is a series 5 (out of 6) from Samsung, one of their better TV's.

Pros: Great picture, free shipping, awesome price, 5ms refresh time, good connectivity, reliable brand, available 4 year warranty. XBOX360 looks AMAZING on this rig, I keep marveling at the clarity and the detail of the picture. I will have to break down and get a Blu-Ray player eventually so I can enjoy some real HD movies. The upconversion DVD players I have work fine. Zero dead pixels out of the box. I was up and running in 5 minutes after getting it in my house. I used to have a Plasma which died recently, this LCD is better in every aspect. This TV is incredible. My next venture is to build a small pc to put under it so I can surf the web with a logitech keyboard/touchpad combo on this sucker. Forget about the 120Hz refresh rate, it makes little to no difference and most people that have the feature turn it off anyway. I am not about to pay $500 more for something I will never use.

Cons: Speakers might be a bit weak if you don't have a Surround Sound system - but they are more than adequate. I have surround so I don't use them at all. Only 3 HDMI inputs (including one on side) and only 1 regular red/white/yellow input (on side) could be an issue for some with many game systems and a bluray player. Not a huge issue, as my DVD player and XBOX360 are hooked up via HDMI. If I break out an older game console I can just patch it into the side.

Overall Review: I did a lot of homework on this TV before I bought it and have zero regrets about the set. In fact, my mother and I both got the same set at the same time and delivery was ultra fast. I thought about buying locally, however the price was about 400 more and I got a 4 year warranty from NewEgg vs. the 3 year at the local blue and yellow monster electronics store. Also picked up HDMI cables online rather than getting bent over at $30 a pop for the cheap ones locally. I looked at the Samsung 650 model, but chose this one because I liked the matte screen and wasn't crazy about the "touch of color" on the 650 which I think would tick me off after a while. I also almost went with the Sony Bravia, but it had a 8ms (vs. Sammys 5ms) response time and I like the faster response for the XBOX360. I really like the classy look of the bezel (black) with the nice warm white glow under the samsung logo too. Perfect! If you are on the fence, just grab this from Newegg, their price is great!

Pros: Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. Picture quality...Fantastic. I have this by a sliding glass door and during the brightest days I can barely tell the difference. Sound...Not too shabby. Some reveiwers are claiming that the sound is poor. This is not true for those of you who will spend a few minutes with sound adjustments. Though I will say that it is not great for regular analog, it is very respectable for shows broadcasting in dolby, and even better for HD broadcasts.

Cons: I find myself spending more time with the remote than expected. To change a source, you need to enter the menu and select it. No apparent way to toggle between. But hey, what man puts the remote down anyway. Only 3 HDMI inputs. Disapointing, but I knew that when I bought it...and I bought it C-H-E-A-P (Newegg, I think I love you).

Overall Review: For those of you expecting spectacular picture quality from an analog signal, go out and buy a 4/3 crt. This tv is designed for digital high definition signals. When (now postponed till June) the digital conversion takes place, you will see a marked improvement in regular programming.

Pros: I researched LCD TVs for months before making this purchase. Most experts/reviewers agree that this television hits the "sweet spot". Great picture, a non-reflective screen, a better than average remote control...all for a reasonable price. There are more feature-rich TVs out there, but none for even close to the cost of this TV!

Cons: AIT is not exactly the best delivery service. When the delivery guy showed up at my home, he told me that either I would have to help him carry it into the house, or that he would just "drag it" through the 3 inches of snow on the ground! Come on Newegg! Get a better delivery company!

Overall Review: The Samsung rebate that is offered for this TV is not a cash rebate, it is a gift card to NFLSHOP. This isn't really a bad thing, but I just thought I should mention it.

Pros: After a little callibration this thing really does have an amazing picture. Tons of hookups, and it looks great to boot. No problems hooking it up to the Harmony 880 either.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: There is a software update available for it too. Be sure to check out the Samsung site to pick that up.
