| The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp back lights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors. Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky. |  |  |  |  |

| Samsung’s Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (SPVA) panel provides a 178-degree viewing angle from all four axes | TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience. - Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the sound stage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing. 
| With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. - Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

I had the TV for 13 months, during which time it was fantastic. I expected as much for $[...]. Mysteriously the TV simply died: the picture went blank and it failed to turn on.
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 ... Read More

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. 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. 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 ... Read More

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. I have had the TV for nine months and it has delighted me in every respect. I paced the aisles at stores comparing screens and concluded that the Samsung displays deserve their high recommendations. I still believe that.
One of the features that ... Read More

I bought this TV August 2008 and started to have screen blackout issues within 6 months. Customer service came 2-3 times and basically swapped out the power supply, mother board and the LCD panel itself. Only thing didn't change was the plastic cover and stand. The fix worked for a couple of months now, but a few days ago, the TV completely went dark.
I called customer service and got involved with the executive service team. I was informed initially that I will get a new TV, and waited 48 hours ... Read More
