Paid about $1000 for this TV and after 13 months, the TV has completely failed. Very similar to other reviewers (turns itself on/off, makes very loud, high pitched sounds and has a colored snow picture. I have seen other reviews stating the same. I would never recommend purchasing a Samsung television.
Wonderful picture when e-mode is used for sports,cinema,etc. I should have gotten at least 46inch. Great remote. Sound is good also when in different e-modes or e-mode off. I would definitely recommend it and would buy another--only larger.
later I have nothing. BUYER BEWARE.
I expected as much for $[.]. Mysteriously the TV simply died: the picture went blank and it failed to turn on.
I had the TV for 13 months, during which time it was fantastic. Yes, your 1 year warranty is meaningless - I was told the majority of these failures occur after the TV is 1 year old.
To add insult to injury, I was just outside the 1 year warranty period when the TV failed, so there was nothing I could do except pay through the nose to get it fixed (warning to those considering this flat screen: parts/labor are *expensive*). I called Samsung to inquire about my options and found out through the official Samsung rep that THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THEIR FLATSCREEN TVs.
I thought I was buying a TV, and now $[.]. Boy, I'm missing that old, bulky tube TV that lasted 10 years and never had a single problem.
When I was told by an Amazon sales rep that the product qualified for setup with delivery, but it turned out it didn't because it was on sale (great price)., an Amazon rep offered me a refund in the amount I paid Geek Squad to set it up. I have been very pleased with the picture quality of this TV. It's easy to operate and the perfect size for a living room. So a great customer service experience and a good deal. I've read some complaints about the sound on this set but I think the quality will suit the average viewer.
One of the features that seemed like a big plus before I made the purchase was the TV's User Guide. The onscreen menus, while necessarily somewhat complex given the level of control Samsung gives the user, are set up well and it doesn't take long before the user can navigate them easily. I still believe that. I paced the aisles at stores comparing screens and concluded that the Samsung displays deserve their high recommendations. The Samsung LN37A550 was my first flat screen TV, and I do not use it as the center of a vast, complicated web of interlinked entertainment devices, but I am capable with various computer applications and technologies, including digital photography. One of the remote's buttons makes it easy to toggle between picture formats/sizes, allowing the user to get the most out the screen area. Thanks to the manual, as soon as I got the TV, I had no trouble exploring the device and setting up everything to suit my tastes. I compared it with manuals for equivalent models from other manufacturers and, in my view, the Samsung manual was the best written and organized.
Every time I watch something, whether TV or DVD, it's great. Does it have enough diagrams and illustrations that I am unlikely to have to call customer service, or give up on finding an answer or fixing a problem." In some ways, the manual sold the TV. I have had the TV for nine months and it has delighted me in every respect. But in the end, a TV is all about the picture. I downloaded it, studied it, and asked myself: "Does this manual contain clear, well-written explanations of ALL of the TV's features and functions. Not only did it tell me a great deal about the TV's features and operation, but it reassured me that I would be able to get the most out of it. For anyone using over-the-air signals, the TV gets the most out of the digital conversion. I have no comments on the speakers' sound quality because I always listen with wireless headphones (a great way for an apartment dweller to get great sound quality and never, ever disturb a neighbor).
