Once again Samsung has created waves in the High Definition Television (HDTV) industry. This time around with the Samsung LN40A550 model. This 40 inch 1080p LCD HDTV is ultimately a top of the line model. Who says being a top model means having a high price?
Lcd 40 Inch
Price is one of the waves generated by the LN40A550 model. As a model with advanced features as it is, it certainly is not priced at one. You will surely be hardpressed to find any other 40 inch model priced as this wonder from Samsung. So, if finding the best deal on a 40 inch HDTV has been difficult in the past, then the LN40A550 is your answer.
Lcd 40 Inch
What do you get with the Samsung LN40A550?
How about an incredibly sharp and realistic TV viewing experience? Yes, that is what you get with a contrast ratio of 30,000 to 1. Did I say incredible? Yes I did. No other model in its range even come close to what this unit has to offer, in terms of realistic viewing. Just be careful if you have pets around. They might easily be fooled by the realism. They might jump at the unit and try to grab that food being displayed on the tube.
Lacking true colors in your tube viewing dailies? No longer will you see faded blue skies on your tele. With the Samsung LN40A550, you get truly brilliant colors. Yes, none of them dull and faded skies. The skies are brilliantly and vividly blue in this Samsung unit. How did they do it? They have this Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp back lights to help them.
One remote to rule them all. Use the Samsung LN40A550 as the main entertainment hub in your home. How about that? Just use any of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs. There's even one on the side for easy access. Connect any of these:
Game consoles
Satelite dish components
Disc Players
Cameras
Camcorders
Laptops
Once connected, you can then use the LN40A550's remote control and content management interface to access the device and its contents. Yes, rule them all. Rule wisely.
Of course, it can't be all dandy and wonderful. I do believe in the saying "If it's too good to be true, then it's not true". Is that how the saying goes? You get what I mean, don't you?
Anyway, there is this minor issue with the Samsung LN40A550. If you are the type that uses USB to connect external devices into this unit, you will find that the USB Wiselink is somewhat limited. You can only use the USB Wiselink to view a slideshow of pictures. That's it. You can't run movies on it. You play music on it. Just Slideshows. Not very intuitive of them in this respect, I'd say.
All in all, I'd say that the Samsung LN40A550 HDTV unit is really worth the price you pay for it. Again, price is also among its main attraction.

Key Features
Full HD 1080p Resolution: Experience Full HD 1080p picture quality, the highest at-home resolution, and take full advantage of HD sources like a Blu-ray Disc Player or PlayStation3 gaming console via the 16:9 wide screen panel (1920 x 1080).
Motionflow 120Hz Technology: Experience smooth motion detail and clarity with Motionflow 120Hz technology. Motionflow 120Hz technology doubles the frame rate from the standard 60 frames per second and applies Image Blur Reduction technology to deliver a crisp, fluid and realistic viewing experience during fast-action scenes.
LightSensor Technology: Automatically increase or decrease the level of brightness of your TV's backlight based on a room's lighting conditions with the integrated LightSensor technology. Dim the lights to watch a movie and the sensor dims the backlight, which also helps reduce unnecessary power consumption.
Ambient Sensor: Get a natural looking picture whether you are watching movies late at night or playing video games during the day with an Ambient Sensor that automatically adjusts the picture color based on a room's lighting.
BRAVIA Engine 2: Enjoy sharp, vibrant, life-like images while optimizing color and contrast and significantly reducing noise with the BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital processor.
6 HD Inputs: Get versatile HD connection options with 6 HD inputs, including 4 HDMI inputs to connect a Blu-ray Disc player, PlayStation3 gaming console or any other HDMI-capable equipment. Two HD component inputs provide added HD-capable connectivity, while a PC input (HD-15 pin) lets you use your HDTV as a computer monitor.
24p True Cinema: Movies consist of 24 images per second, and cannot be faithfully reproduced on conventional televisions, resulting in unnatural, jerky movements. But 24p True Cinema displays the 24 progressive images as they should be, in the same sequence as the original film source. Now, you can recreate the visual clarity of cinema-quality movies in the comfort of your own home.
USB Input: Share your photos on the big screen or listen to your favorite music. Simply connect your digital camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device directly to your HDTV's USB input.
BRAVIA Sync Compatible: Conveniently operate and control other BRAVIA Sync compatible devices--including BRAVIA HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc Players, surround sound systems, Handycam camcorders and Cyber-shot digital still cameras, all with one remote control.
VESA-compatible hole spacing uses an industry-standard mounting-hole pattern that can be used with VESA-compliant mounting brackets, taking the guesswork out of selecting the proper hardware for hanging your TV on the wall.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
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
