Why settle for anything less than top-of-the-line picture quality? With the SAMSUNG LN52A550 high-definition TV you get the total package: a 52” wide screen with 1080p HD resolution, crystal-clear sound, and advanced features like wide color enhancer that are guaranteed to give you the full high-definition experience.

Ultimate Picture Quality

  • Full HD (1080p) contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. That means more pixels, more details and a better picture. A resolution that is approximately twice as much as conventional HD TVs, creates the most perfect picture imaginable.

    Wide Color Enhancer

  • Whereas blue and green shaded areas of the picture are washed out on conventional screens, wide color enhancer lets you experience more brilliant colors. Simply imagine a wider range of colors than you ever thought possible.

    5ms Response Time

  • An important feature for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time.

    30,000:1 Contrast Ratio

  • Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Watch movies and shows come to life with enhanced details in very dark or bright scenes. Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that’s sure to catch your eye.

    Wiselink® USB connection

  • Easily hook up your MP3 player or digital camera to your TV with the USB 2.0 connection. A simple user interface lets you scroll through and view play lists and pictures. You can zoom, rotate or play photo slide shows and even add music.

    5 of 5 Amazing television, great value. Tuesday, March 24, 2009
    Brixton from Albuquerque, NM  

    Samsung's LCD televisions are currently the best on the market, and even though this is a mid-low level entrant to their 52" LCD screens it's a very good tv. The picture is amazing, and while it doesn't run at 120 Hz it's not noticeable. Most people who see things like blurring or artifacts are actually experiencing the difference between 1080i and 1080p, not a refresh rate...so people who complain about this just don't understand the input they are receiving. I don't notice the sound issues people mention because I have digital audio out from the tv to my stereo system, which is crystal-clear and amazing as well. If you're turned off by the 3 HDMI inputs, keep in mind you can get a DVI-HDMI converter and it will accept the input as a regular HDMI input. These adapters are cheap, especially here on Buy.com. All and all this tv's impossible to beat online, and even more impossible to beat in retail.

    5 of 5 your own private movie theater Wednesday, December 10, 2008
    ron wilson from peabody ma  
    well i'm glad i went big and w/1080p. it's like having your very own movie theater it gets even better when playing blue ray movies & video games on it (my 8 year old is in heaven). the picture is awsome and it has very good sound (no straining to hear anything from this tv). this tv has a ton of picture adjustments, sound adjustments, lots of inputs and is very simple to set up and operate. over all i love this tv but the free curb side delivery, wish they offered something a little bit better. just make sure that you have someone else with you when it gets delivered it's a little bit awkard to pick up alone.

    5 of 5 A great pruduct from SAMSUNG Tuesday, August 19, 2008
    A Customer from Sugar Land, Texas  
    Before I bought this HDTV, I did a lot of comparision research and narrowed down to three brands: SONY, SHARP and SAMSUNG. I would say that SONY and SAMSUNG are two top picks based on their picture quality. I have been using SAMSUNG monitors for a while and are very satisfied. Why should I pay extra bucks for a SONY just because of its name? So I ordered this SAMSUNG HDTV from buy.com (free shipping, no tax). I am very impressed with this baby. The HD picture simply spoiled my eyes. I am watching Beijing Olymipcs Games from NBC air channel everyday now. Really enjoy it. It will be better if the speakers can output more power.

    5 of 5 Excellent product and company Sunday, August 17, 2008
    A Customer from Colorado Springs, CO   
    I purchased the Samsung LN4071F(last years model) with the 120Hz processor and was not impressed with the TV at all. I opted to use the 30 day return policy with a local vendor. After quite a bit of research I found this TV to be the best for the price. This TV has excellent picture quality and I would recommend it to anyone.

    5 of 5 Excellent TV, Good Price Monday, August 04, 2008
    A Customer from Shakopee, MN  
    Got this TV from Buy.com using standard shipping. TV arrived within 5 days (earlier than advertised). Everything works fine. Love the picture clarity for HD feeds. Even the SD feeds look better than my old rear-projection panasonic. This model is the best value for my money that I could find in July , 2008. I highly recommend it.

    5 of 5 SAMSUNG LN52A550 Monday, August 04, 2008
    A Customer from Aurora, IL  
    This TV is awesome. Great picture quality, and good looking everywhere. I did not like the sound quality, but who cares? With 52 inches, everybody will hook up with a good stereo system. I have another LCD TV, but it is not even comparable. I strongly recommend this to anyone who looks for a decent TV.

    4 of 5 Great TV Wednesday, June 04, 2008
    A Customer from Houston, TX  
    I bought this to hang it in my Master Bedroom. The TV is gorgeous and the image in stunning with high definition media. I have noticed that while watching live TV that this TV sometimes locks up, turns itself off, then turns itself right back on again. It only happens rarely, and only when viewing broadcast TV. Other than that, I love this TV. The sound is a little weak, but its a TV not a stereo system, and it is better than other TVs I have heard.
