Samsung LN52B550 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Review

The picture is amazing when a 1080i or 1080p source is playing. It's like being in a movie theater. 720p is soft and 480p is softer and you can really see the difference of 1080i/1080p vs 720p and 480p on a screen this big.

Controls on the remote are pretty easy to understand. Color controls are very good. There are 3 settings depending on the ambient light and you can quickly switch from 1 to the other. Screen controls are also easy to understand and easy to switch back and forth from 16:9 to "wide fit/screen fit" depending on the signal.

The two things that I have a slight problem with are the connector tube to the stand and the design of the remote. The tube could be sturdier. The remote handle curves down and out (sort of like the old Star Trek phaser grip) and this causes the remote to drop off the coffee table onto the floor if you don't take the time to put it EXACTLY entirely on the table. Annoying when you just want to watch the show/movie/game.

The sound coming from the unit is good but I plan on hooking it up to a home theater system.

Overall, I think the Samsung is an excellent unit and purchasing from Amazon Warehouse is a fantastic way to save lots of money!
