Samsung LN40B550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color
Got this for $705 11/30/09. With two day shipping I scheduled my delivery for 4 days later and gave them all morning. No email, no call, no friggin smoke signal to let me know they weren’t coming. One wasted 1/2 a day of missed work later they came at ~7 at night with no word. Shipping company was PILOT, avoid them, couldn’t even contact them. I wanted to buy another TV as a present but I just don’t trust Amazon to ship it anymore. Sad part is I could see they picked it up in my state (Pa) on Monday and still couldn’t get it to my house by Friday. Were they carrying it here on foot? Same as other reviewer the truck was unmarked and the driver called a few minutes before he got there and needed directions. It was pretty shady
Anyway, on the TV, very solid, great bedroom TV. I have a bad back and it was still light enough. Looks great. If you are still on the Hz debate and thinking of going the next level up I’d have to say save your money. I haven’t seen any ghosting on anything, but I haven’t tried video games. Having seen the 120 or whatever at a friend’s house I actually thought it looked worse. The picture gets that home-video look to it on an LCD when response is too high. I’d pay extra not to have that.
LG 32LH20 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black
This TV is exactly what we wanted. This is a bedroom set, and we were not as concerened with having every “cool” feature on the planet as were were with have a quality TV with a good picture and sound. So far we have ZERO complaints. The sound is really good. Our old TV had speakers that seemed to project sound down instead of out. Most of the time we don’t have this one turned up past 10 or 11 (out of I guess 100) and it fills the room fine. The picture is crystal clear and the presets are nice – movies, sports, etc… The black casing is nice and clean looking. My wife loves the sleep timer! Plenty of features (more than we can deal with) and setup was so easy it was silly.
I wanted to talk about the seller here: Sixth Avenue Electronics (6ave on Amazon) is the best! I, like most people, hesitate a little to drop this amount of money online. The reviews for 6ave were outstanding, so we gave them a shot. MAN are they good! Communication ALL ALONG THE WAY and they make sure you are happy. I could not ask for a better seller online.

What initially drew me to this TV was the price. The TV at the time was under 500 hundred dollars, no tax, and free shipping. I was relatively hesitant to purchase a TV online since I could not compare and contrast without going to a store and finding similar if not same models.
I am very happy with the purchase. LG HDTV’s have great contrast and the color seems to “pop” more than other brands. With an HDMI cable and a PS3, the visuals get down right beautiful. There are obviously much much much better HDTV’s on the market but this is the one that caught my eye because it has plenty of value behind it. 32″ is the perfect size for my living room since I sit only 5-6 feet away from it.
I would recommend this TV to anyone. The packaging was good, no dings, dents, tears, scuffs, etc. The TV came out pristine.
