    Comments about Samsung LN40D550 40" LCD HDTV:

    I was greatly impressed by the clarity of the picture. There is no viewing angle that causes a distorted image. I have spent several hours viewing other HDTV products, and can truly say that this is the best I have seen in this class. My only negative concern is the difficulty in using the onscreen menu, or e-manual.

          This is my first flat screen TV. I held out to the bitter end. I must admit, it's a beautiful picture.
          I'm not accustomed to how bright it is, though. The sound is also good. Also, it was easy t set up. My recommendation, "Go for It!"

                  We use this TV as a test platform for the communication company I work for. It shows us, in real-time, what the customer is seeing and enables us to immediately address problems. The size and clarity of the screen are really great and it comes equipped with all the connectors we need to meet our needs.
