The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable.

DNIe The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This exclusive Samsung technology dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reduces.
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.
To make the Series 6 a true entertainment hub for any home, Samsung has incorporated advanced HD connectivity and networking capabilities that expand the HDTV's functionality. A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy HDMI-CEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote.

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

Great Samsung LN32A550 TvAugust 18, 2008 This is a great tv Amazon delivery service and setup was excellent....Tv picture sharp and works well showing my Blu Ray and HD DVD movies....It is also great using it with my Sony PS3 system. Thanks Again Amazon you have made me a happy customer....
Much better the A450, Nearly as good if not as good as the A650August 4, 2008 We looked at Alot of TV's in Stores and it came down to a choice between the Samsung A550, A650 and the Sony XBR. At the End of the day the A550 looked as good as the Sony or the newer A650 and the price was the best of all 3. It was the only one to be had at slightly under 1k Bucks. I tend to always buy the best if you can see or feel a difference between products regardless of price. I dont shop by Price only. I feel that when you buy the best you are always happy and you dont always say too yourself that i wish i had spent the extra hundred or whatever for the other one.
very good productJuly 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read other reviews about this product before I purchased this TV. People complained about the speakers they work very well I found the speakers excelent for the average room. The picture was excelent weather watching HD or plain digital broadcasts. This is the best value I found for making the step to HD. I would recomend this TV to everyone. EXCELENT PRODUCT.....

We ordered our Samsung LN32A550 LCD HDTV Saturday, July 12th. I received a confirmation email within minutes, and another email with delivery information the following Monday, July 13th. I received a call from the delivery company on Tuesday morning, July 15th, and our TV was delivered at 3 that afternoon. The delivery man was extremely helpful, very knowledgeable of the product and couldn't have been more courteous. I have ordered numerous items from Amazon and never had any problems whatsoever. My husband and I were a little leary of ordering a TV on-line, but considering the excellent price, we decided to try it. We could not be more pleased with the product or the service we received from both Amazon and the delivery company (CEVA). Samsung is the best, the picture quality is amazing. The only negative thing I could say about this TV is the sound isn't that great. Consider seperate speakers/surround sound.
