Samsung LN52B550 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Review
I researched the purchase of this TV for over six months- far more than I ever researched even a vehicle purchase. I’ve had it for approx 2 weeks now and am very impressed. I was originally planning to purchase the 44in model but eventually changed my mind and purchased the 52 in model.
The only feature I was worried about not having was the 120 hz. I went to an electronics store and viewed both 60 and 120 hz side by side and could not tell the difference- the 60 hz is plenty fast for me.
Many people complained about the sound quality of last year’s model. Unfortunately I have no pertinent information to add here as I am utilizing a surround sound system.
You will not regret purchasing this TV
