Energize your home entertainment experience with the LN37A550 LCD TV. You`ll immerse yourself in action-packed movies and sports with a 6ms response time that eliminates blurring. Also feast your eyes on sharp, high-definition images with an amazing 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. You`ll always enjoy total picture perfection with a SAMSUNG high-definition LCD TV.

15,000:1 contrast ratio
Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Get a more realistic, sharper picture quality that`s sure to catch your eye.

5 ms response time
One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to how long it takes pixels to turn from completely white to black and back again - the lower the milliseconds (ms), the faster the response time is. A fast 5ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

SAMSUNG's DNle - Digital Natural Image engine
SAMSUNG's exclusive Digital Natural Image engine makes the sharpest and clearest images possible, regardless of the signal you`re receiving. Five image processors and a six-time density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source with the truest colors and highest contrast.

hidden bottom speakers
Less is more. Just because you can`t see the stylishly concealed speakers doesn`t mean you won`t hear the unbelievably clear sound radiating from them.

HDMI - CEC
Control all of your High Definition Multimedia Interface(TM) connected devices with one-touch control in a single universal remote.

"I've been wanting HDTV since the beginning - however, I didn't want to pay the price or get early product that wasn't great yet. This is the first year that you can look at LCD and Plasma side-by-side and both are great. Plasma was the broadcast reference for a long time (I work in television).

"Here's a warning to anyone shopping for an A450 or A550 series Samsung. I bought this TV today, LN37A550, and couldn't figure out why the picture was so bad, even HD was not great. I spent an hour trying to calibrate it myself, couldn't get it close to good. I calibrated my own Sharp Aquos and had no problems, so I wasn't expecting any issues. I even used a THX optimizer to calibrate (found in the setup feature..." Read Full Review »
