Samsung LN40A550 40" HDTV LCD TV

Enjoy a pixel-perfect 1080p picture with the Samsung LN40A550. For most HD broadcasts, and especially for high-def discs, you need a 1080p display like this one to fully appreciate that you-are-there detail and depth. Built-in tuners give you easy access to both digital and analog over-the-air broadcasts (antenna required). And the "QAM" digital cable tuner lets cable TV subscribers watch unscrambled channels without using a separate set-top box.

I moved up from a 32" Vizio to this Samsung 40" and it was well worth the move. My plan, after researching and reading many opinions in many different forums, was to purchase a Vizio 42" that received very high marks - a lot of bang for the buck.

When I got to the store (Sears had it in... Read full review »

We upgraded to this Samsung LN40A550 from our much bulkier TV.  I love the beautiful gloss finish, it makes it look high end. And when you play Blu Ray, it's just awesome.
