I plan to buy a new TV this week for my room and its not going to be a Samsung. Now again the TV is not working it power on of automatically every few seconds, their is no picture all I see is lines. This TV is not worth buying I bought mine in March 09 3 months later their was a problem with the TV. It was not working so the repair person came and changed the Mother board. Called Samsung again now they can't come out until a week.
I purchased this HDTV about a year ago and I'm still very happy with the purchase.
The video is smooth. It is painful to listen, and the two weeks it took for me to get surround, I rarely used the tv. The SD leaves much to be desired, but why watch SD when HD is available.Playstation gaming and blurays- Gaming looks great. Samsung really dropped the ball with their sound.
Sound-Just terrible. I use this tv with Dish Network HD, Playstation 3 gaming and blurays, and a Nintendo Wii.Dish- Picture is great. It causes alot of ear fatigue. Even in baseball, the video always looks crisp. I bought it for $700 during the customer vote in 2008. I have the dish set up to broadcast in 720p, because I watch mostly sports and the progressive looks better than interlaced, a little smoother. All of the HD content looks great. Blurays are unbelievably crisp.
Part of the problem may be TV placement in a corner, but it still shouldn't be this bad. I love this TV. I rarely see any motion blur. They are absolutely stunning.Wii-For a non HD device, the video is very good.
There are hundreds of complaints about Samsung TVs that stop working just after the warranty expires. So here we are with a thousand dollar TV that is just 3 months out of warranty and it won't turn on. I read the Amazon reviews when I bought this product and there were a few that had problems right after they purchased it, so I figured the warranty would cover it. The TV started clicking when it turned on, and then you had to turn the power on several times to get it to turn on. Stay far away from Samsung, they definitely DO NOT stand behind their products. So we googled Samsung TV problems and found this wonderful site [.].
I just wanted to make sure I added my review since I have had the TV for over a year and now the warranty definitely won't cover any repairs. Okay, our LN46A550 TV was purchased in August 2008, we really liked it up until about 2 weeks ago. Now the TV doesn't turn on at all. Samsung is doing nothing to help the customers except telling them to go to the repair shops, which in many cases the repair will cost more than the original cost of the TV.
Good luck if you already purchased one. It costed me 300 USD to fix the power supply (including labor) for a 1000 USD (current value) LCD TV. The issue is clearly well known by Samsung but they would not pay for the repair anyway, not to mention that they are not recalling this product in the first place. I would strongly discourage anyone to purchase a Samsung TV. I have purchased this 46" Samsung LCD TV set (LN46A550) in August 2008 and its power supply failed last month exactly 3 months after the warranty had expired. My problem is described on Samsung website as "My TV Is Turning Off And On By Itself (Power Cycling)", in the "LN46A550P3F Troubleshooting Guide". So, this product is poorly constructed and on top of that, Samsung has definitely the worst customer support service ever.
