Comments about Samsung LN40B550 40" 1080p LCD HDTV:
Quite a few friends recommended the samsung panels, which is how we ended up going with this product. As a replacement for our old 27" CRT, it's absolutely brilliant. We couldn't go any larger in the small amount of space we had, and were tired of our eyes bleeding every time we played console games.
Practically speaking, the product arrived (shipped) on time and in good condition. We've noticed no dead pixels or other display defects. Colors are sharp and clean, the internal tuner seems to be working correctly, and we have no complaints.
