Customer Review: Good for us
Summary: 5 Stars
Not a great review but for somebody who can't understand all the terms of latest TV technology but just have to upgrade to a flat screen.Checked out a similar configuration TV from Sony but it was way too expensive.I am reviewing this after 6 months of purchase.I have been busy admiring the flat screen. Coming to TV, it is excellent for us.It has 3 HDMI outputs and Oh yes, you can connect your 1st gen Xbox to this.No extra cables needed.Just connect the Xbox and TV with existing cables.But for connecting anything else, you need to order HDMI cables.Order them from amazon as they are very expensive in the stores. No problems reported so far. Sound can be a bit better. The remote is bit big for my hands but I guess I can live with it.The picture quality is good.It doesn't have the 120hz feature but unless you watch sports everyday hour of the day, I don't think that matters.Even with ports, there is a sports mode which can used but in normal mode, you can notice the pixels since it lacks the 120 hz feature.The menu can be a bit tiresome.I can't remember which function is in which part of the menu.I have to keep checking each and every option till I find the required setting.
ON the whole, its good TV for the price for anyone who doesn't spend a lot of time infront of it.
The shipping from CEVA was good.White glove service.
Customer Review: Great TV, but it makes noise.
Summary: 4 Stars
We've had the TV for several months now and it is wonderful. Very clear pictures, especially in HD. The only minor complaint is that there is a relatively long delay between pushing the power "on" button and the TV actually turning on (1-2 seconds), and when it does, it has a loud chime. This wouldn't be annoying except that we have an infant in the house who is often sleeping in the same room as the TV, and the chime is loud enough to disturb her from sleep. It also chimes when you turn it off, though if you mute the TV, the chime is muted as well. Wish that was an option when you turned it on. Otherwise, fantastic TV, great price, clear picture.Customer Review: Wow!

I would recommend this to anyone. It has a great quality picture. Well worth the money spent.Customer Review: 6ave may ship you the "B" model.
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered the LN40A550 from this page, and I actually received the LN40B550 from 6ave. This is indeed a "newer model", but the B-type does not have picture-in-picture, and it has the subtle red "touch of color" while the A-type does not. I can't believe they did this! Here's their response:
"Thanks for your e-mail. We sincerely apologize but we sent you the upgraded model for the one you ordered. If you do not want the new model, please call us at 877-... for the RA number and the instructions for the return. Thanks."
It's not enough of a bother for me to return the thing, but still: caveat emptor!
Anyway, the TV is great, although it's not what I ordered!
Customer Review: Great TV... but do not order from ""ELECTRONICS EXPO" from NJ
Summary: 3 Stars
Excellent TV. But watch who you are ordering from. I have a problem with the TV that came damage during shipment. I have called several time to resolve the issue with exchanging it. They told me to contact the "Manufacturer" to fix the problem. So, I called Samsung and they had a tech to see the problem. When the tech saw the TV, he told me that Samsung with not replace the LCD screen. He told me, it would "COST" me $900 to replace it. I call the Electronics Expo again, and now they tell me that they have to contact the shipper. I waited and waited with no responds. I was so angry, I disputed with my credit card and gave them a bad feedback. I also had a similar problem with VANN'S but there are GREAT. I love them. Watch out for "ELECTRONICS EXPO".
