  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!

  Strengths: Picture quality on close up shots is amazing!

  Weaknesses:At only 60Hz is an obvious weekness when viewing sports and wide angle shots.

  Overall Evaluation: I received this TV about a month ago. Picture is amazing when viewing sitcoms and other shows with low movement or narrow camera shots. When I watch football the picture isn't as sharp as I would wish especially when they have a shot zoomed out over the field. I guess I'm being too critical for the price but overall the picture is awesome. I'm not too worried about the speakers quality becuase I have it hooked up to surround sound. All in all you can't find a better picture for the price. My next tv will be 120Hz though.

  Strengths: Clear pic - that's what I wanted from the TV

  Weaknesses:none

  Overall Evaluation: I've only had it for a couple of weeks but I can't take my eyes off of it. It took me a while to figure out that some channels are not HD but the ones that are are fantastic. I did call customer support and I spoke to someone (from the US and spoke English)immediately who helped me with a couple of questions.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Months

  Strengths: Picture brightness and rapid response time, 5 ms.

  Weaknesses:Audio, but, see comment

  Overall Evaluation: My wife and I are very happy with the TV. Great picture and we have not even hooked it up to the HD box yet! Tweaked the higher audio freqs and that improves the sound. Our plan is to use external speakers so on board sound is not as important to us. Relatively light weight and low power consumption blows our old (dead) Sony CRT out of the water. This TV is nicer than we even hoped it would be. The buy was no mistake.

Review:

Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch LCD HDTV

This all-around excellent TV is easy to use and a delight to the eyes.

It's hard to find fault with Samsung's LN46A550 ($1700, as of November 4, 2008). This LCD model lacks some of the specs and design of its younger sibling, the Samsung LN46A650, but otherwise it holds its own next to that model.
