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.

Yes, I agree with the other reviews so far that the 32-inch Samsung is simply the best TV of its size. Did extensive side-by-side viewings before buying it, and it worked and looked perfect right out of the box.
Speaking of “right out of the box,” why doesn’t Amazon mention the outstanding delivery service by Pilot Freight? The unit was promised in four days, they called and asked if they could deliver it in three. They had two people bring it in, unpack it and set it up, plug the set into the cable box and plug the DVD player into the set, turn everything on and verify that it all worked. They showed me how to use the control, cleaned up everything and removed all of the packing and clutter. Great job, far better than expected. Both the set and the unexpected white glove delivery service are superb.

Well, the digital transition just wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, so I finally bought a new TV.
This TV has a stunning picture at a great price. Easy set up with clearly labeled slots at the back for the various inputs, and easy on-screen controls pop up when you need them.
The size is just right even in a big room if you want a more traditional TV feel, rather than a *monster TV.* I’m delighted with the picture and the sound. DVD’s are gorgeous on this screen, and plain vanilla TV is fun to watch again. If you’re a first time buyer, you’ll be thrilled. If you’re adding a small TV to a guest room or exercise room, I think the picture and sound quality is great, and the price is good, too.
