Great Price Samsung LN37B550 for $714.00

Samsung LN37B550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Review



LN37B550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color...As far as this "Touch of Color" ploy is all about, my set must have received just a mere hint of color from a dry brush as you must actually scan and look for the red color even during daylight hours. In any event, this touch, or lack of red color, doesn't really do anything for the TV at all.

Now, as for the TV, I've had it up and running now for just a few weeks and I like it quite a bit. Like so many others, I have a rather large (too costly to discard) entertainment wall unit that I purchased around 10 years ago that has become the centerpiece of my living room. It was designed with the traditional "square" hole opening for a TV that will accommodate a standard 32-inch "tube style / square" TV so getting a BIG/JUMBO set became somewhat of an issue. Fortunately the wall unit has a bit of a ledge right in front of the TV opening so I was able to get a 37" LCD and place it there. As a precaution I used some very small bungee cords in the back to keep it secure.

All in all, the set works very well (great picture) but the sound quality is a bit mild. The sound is not bad mind you for regular viewing but I will undoubtedly get some kind of sound system to enhance the sound quality for movies and such.

Great value!

Would like to be objective - Dennis T - Cincinnati, Oh
I ordered this television from Amazon utilizing their scheduled delivery service. I scheduled the delivery for a date 2 weeks after the date the order was placed. Amazon was not the lowest price on this item, but I have had excellent service in the past so I payed for the privilege so to speak. The television was scheduled to be delivered to my mother in-law in Florida, I live in Ohio and was driving down to do a wall mount installation. The television never arrived, there was no call, nothing........ I drove 16 hours and placed a call to Amazon customer service only to find the television had been "lost in transit" by the carrier. The best that customer service would do was refund my money, and that was only after making 5 telephone calls. Looking back I should have requested that Amazon Air Freight this to me in order to make things right, this would have been the correct and responsive thing for customer service to have offered.

I located a substitute television locally, installed it with the other components that did arrive from Amazon and their vendors. The personal stress from this experience makes me question doing time sensitive business with Amazon. I probably would have been very pleased with this TV but I will never know.



Not good for computer usage - Gary in Seattle -
One of the most important things for a TV to me is to actually show what is fed in. I bought one of these and ended up returning it because there is no way to turn all of the processing off. I ended up with sharpening artifacts around text, etc. REALLY don't buy this if you plan to hook a computer up to it. I wouldn't recommend for blu ray either unless you really want everything to get artifically sharpened.

Westinghouse (aren't made anymore) is the best choice for computer usage (use one of these at work), and Toshiba is what I ended up buying for home after returning one of these. Both of these sets are able to turn off all image processing.





tv - Sun Fish - Onalaska, WI USA
Picture is beautiful. Delivery service fast and excellent to my living room. Would order from Amazon again.



Exactly what I was looking for - Scuba Steve - NH
The unit itself is very sturdy and the swivel works very well. Image quality is great considering the multitude of options you can tweak. I use it a lot for my xbox 360 and being able to change motion blur sensitivity (game mode on or off), brightness, and backlight levels is great. Connectivity is no problem considering the amount of hooks up on the back and the side. GET this tv if you don't want to spend a lot, but get a lot.
