Pictures with high-impact color and contrast
High-definition sources look spectacular on the LN32A550, and standard-definition sources look great too, thanks to Samsung's powerful image processing that enhances contrast and detail while reducing noise. Wide Color Enhancer optimizes hues, so colors look rich and vibrant, yet very natural. Samsung also improved their TVs' contrast and black level performance. Dark scenes often look washed-out on LCDs when you turn down the room lights, but not on this model.

A wide array of inputs for versatile viewing
With three HDMI and two component video inputs, it's easy to add multiple high-definition video sources like an HD satellite tuner or video game console. The LN32A550's HDMI connections include CEC control capability, which lets you operate other compatible HDMI-equipped Samsung components using only the TV's remote. You can also super-size the view from your laptop by plugging it into this set's PC input. And the USB port makes it easy to share digital photos stored on a thumb drive with friends and family.

"I use the LN32A550 in a variety of ways: as a computer monitor, to watch TV and to play XBOX 360. It performs well in all functions. I had heard that TVs do not work well for use as a computer monitor, but this couldn't be further from the truth. It looks great. For first time LCD buyers, let me make one more comment - Don't bother with the built in speakers. I have never heard a flat panel TV that actually..." Read Full Review »

Really wanted it-but the sound was a deal-breaker.

"I needed a smaller TV for a living area that had no surround sound system. So everything from the picture to the sound were very important. I chose this TV because of the extensive assortment of inputs, including the USB and multiple HDMIs. I wanted to go up to the 650 version, but it's only really available online, and for the few add'l features of that one, I didn't think it was worth it. I read reviews about..." Read Full Review »

"I read many reviews on the web about LCD TVs, then I went to several stores to see their walls of TVs. The Samsungs were in the top tier of picture quality. Then I combed the web for the best price (this was the 2008 holiday shopping season), and found it from Adorama.

"I bought it because I wanted a very sharp, high contrast, HD TV that would be bright and visible in a sunny living room. It certainly does the trick. I found it via Consumer Reports which had rated it very highly, and I found the best price here at B&H which I had never heard before this purchase.

"There is little to complain about this product. For the power user, tuning about the TV would be a bit easier if it had the capability to adjust indvidual colors as does my 62" Mitsubishi, but that is a very small complaint.
