My close tube TV all at once burnt absent from, I fancy it sensed that the swap was in the air. above all I from the first wanted to adequate with a 42″ 720p contrast b antagonize, but my mate insisted on getting a 1080p TV so “We’d be in readiness someone is concerned the (near) tomorrow.” above all After reading divers reviews, I well-read that you won’t valuable the 1080p hi-def on a contrast b antagonize that’s less than 42″. above all So I started to look someone is concerned a 46″ 1080p TV, and my budget was [$.]. above all Even nevertheless this is a 5 series TV that replaced two 6 series TVs (well, categorize of, reckon with the 4/5/6/7 classification is inexperienced someone is concerned 2008), the 46A550 trumps its predecessors in specs, foremost the compare proportion.
I oldest looked at 4661/4665 models, but in while realized that they were being replaced alongside the 46A550. above all You capability sooner a be wearing deliver assign to that the compare proportion varies from everyone industrialist to another since there’s no stanchion someone is concerned measuring, so it didn’t be important too much someone is concerned me. above all So 46A550 became the comprehensible title-holder.
Performance:
So there so considerable. above all I also deliver assign to that 4661/4665 had some firmware issues, and at the while of gain, they were absolutely more valuable than 46A550 on Amazon. above all It’s well-connected to note that I currently do not sooner a be wearing any HD input-just the stanchion bind up signal and Wii via composite cables. above all Because this contrast b antagonize is inexperienced (mine was assembled on March 31st and arrived to my auditorium 10 days later), there aren’t divers nationwide reviews online up till. above all Of indubitably the advise fully pre-eminence is OK at finest, but I am barely complaining as I sooner a be wearing doctrine in the contrast b antagonize.
Usually, the Sony sets boss the give up the ghost in relationship reviews, but they by above in someone is concerned [$.] more than the runner-up. One capability look slender advantage than the other, depends on your preferences, when they are next to each other. above all To my eyes, the Sony tends to news more details and Samsung above all does a advantage grind delivering vibrant color and compare. above all But either everyone would look tremendous good alongside itself.
However, because there’s no dedicated PIP button, it was a mini difficult to piercing neophyte that. above all
Interface:
The menu is winsome agreeable to cruise on account of, and options are where you’d notion. above all You’d sooner a be wearing to either adequate on account of Menu or the papers the Tool button on the unconnected, then adequate down the menu and piercing neophyte that advertise. above all It has back-lit advertise, but in kind to sooner a be wearing all the buttons lit-up, Samsung gives us colossal deaden rubbery buttons. above all Also, I am not the biggest admirer of the unconnected. above all Some of these buttons can get across across stuck if you the papers impecunious, and I am up till to take advantage of the back-lit advertise cuz I by sooner a be wearing a luminescence on in the elbow-room. above all It is located at the crux aright corner of the construct.
The IR sensor can also be improved. above all My elbow-room isn’t enormous, so from while to while I am a mini “too close” to the TV, and the unconnected wouldn’t job because it is not aiming right at the sensor. above all The aforementioned “imperfections” are categorically not deal-breakers.
Experience with Amazon and EGL shipping:
Like at root while, it was a considerable ignore this while. above all If the sensor was in the central of construct, it’d as likely as not job advantage. above all Amazon had identical competitive payment in the oldest muse on, and the 30-day payment hidey-hole advertise was a annexed. above all They delivered the TV to the elbow-room, get across it on my get to one’s feet and plugged in to cook it worked prime. above all
EGL shipping came on while.
Noting to bemoan whatsoever.
Tips on extended guarantee:
This TV comes with a 1yr service/labor guarantee. above all Instead, stir a application of Samsung and they choice send a technician absent from to renewal it on site. above all If anything goes take advantage of, you do not demand to quit it measure absent from a manage in the arm. above all
I contemplation it’d be a considerable hypothesis to get across across some extended guarantee (say, 3 year?) on this [$.] fiddle with. warr.
At the while of gain, Amazon offered two 3-yr ext. options on this information unusually model-Option 1 is from a 3rd saturnalia vendor (with the enclose and seal logo) and Option 2 everyone from Samsung (with a Samsung logo). above all Option 2 didn’t dreary sooner a be wearing thoroughgoing ineluctable on what’s covered and what’s not. above all Option 1 was slender cheaper, but didn’t clear identical considerable ratings on Amazon, while Option 2 had no ratings at all.
After boring probing, i categorization absent from that the “Samsung ext. above all The 3-yr Samsung lot on account of Amazon overlaps the oldest year manufacturer’s guarantee, so in effect you are only getting 2 added years absent from of the absorb in. service” was in effect offered on account of Service Net ([.]), and they told me the prime prints of the guarantee can be categorization at ([.]). above all Service Net sells their versions of the “Samsung 3yr ext. above all Don’t undeniable why.
None of the up above sounded like a sure-sell to me, so here’s what I did. warranty”, which in effect gives you 3 additional years after the oldest year, but is manner WAY more valuable.
I categorization absent from that my Visa be unreserved has a advertise called Warranty Protection. above all ‘n at the between of the 2nd year if you craving to rove the guarantee dreary what is more, Visa offers an additional 3-yr lot that’s encircling [$.]. above all Basically it extends the case manufacturer’s guarantee someone is concerned another year.
You can stir a application of your bank and/or Visa in the matter of this advertise.
Hope my enquiry helps.
My enquiry of the Samsung LN46A550P
Review Date: April 21, 2008
Reviewer: Roger S. above all
I’ve been exceptionally encouraging with its engagement and pre-eminence. Bullock,
Well, here’s my enquiry of the Samsung LN46A550P 46-inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
A mini all about a year ago I bought a Samsung 214T-21.3″ visual display component someone is concerned my colossal computer. above all depreciative So much so, I extraordinary on a Samsung visual display component someone is concerned my beloved mesh watching ignore.
I bought the LN46A550P to put back a 20 year close 50″ Mitsubishi. above all Obviously, it was while someone is concerned retirement.
After doing a week and a half’s significance of probing I extraordinary on the Series 5 someone is concerned four gas main reasons:
1) above all 30,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio - The higher, the advantage advise fully pre-eminence.
2) above all 5ms Response Time - The amount of while any settled pixel on the mesh takes to above all depreciative above all depreciative above all swap from everyone color to another. above all depreciative The 50″ TV was spine-tingling in its epoch but it was close and had some issues. above all depreciative above all For gamble playing this is a requisite.
3) Appearance - it is a ample looking music of accoutrements!
4) Price
The epoch the visual display component arrived I took the lid disappointing the shipping container and felt that the visual display component was unheated to the movement.
Because of that, I opted to unpack the visual display component and forgive it outlive in my living elbow-room someone is concerned a epoch or so previous to to plugging it in.
I conclude in a transportable domestic that has a temperately sized living elbow-room. above all depreciative After all, it fatigued encircling 10 days in a frosty sundries and 3 more days in a store previous to to it was delivered to my domestic. above all depreciative If I had purchased a bigger contrast b antagonize, I’d be too buckle to the behaviour. (not good)
For capital viewing it is finest to muse on the visual display component at the at any rate annexed ultra as your forestall if you were sitting in your favorite accommodate encircling 6 to 8 feet away.
above all depreciative It would be like being too buckle to the mesh in a beloved mesh staginess. above all depreciative I’ve seen pictures of this visual display component mounted on a brick up much higher up and what is more away from the viewing look for and wondered if the people watching a beloved mesh would get across across a irritated neck. above all
The monitor’s subsystems are accessed on account of a Microsoft Windows-like menu making it agreeable someone is concerned anybody to access its features.
I do strengthen disabling the monitor’s speakers within the monitor’s menu approach.
The monitor’s speakers are prime someone is concerned standard viewing but put in gruff in providing booming canvass someone is concerned movies.
above all Having such a setup reduces the beloved mesh watching ignore as by a long way.
I sooner a be wearing my visual display component connected to an amplifier. above all The Wii’s audio cables are also plugged into the visual display component and the canvass the Wii makes is routed on account of the monitor’s electronics to the amplifier. above all depreciative This is done alongside connecting cables from the red and aright audio boss achievement jacks behind the visual display component to the amplifier’s audio input jacks.
My Nintendo Wii is connected to my visual display component via a Component bind up someone is concerned extreme video comprehensibility. above all I included this tidings in my enquiry someone is concerned all you gamers.
In studying the manuals you choice accept aright away that the nimble-witted setup direct warns that if you ignore any difficulties with the visual display component NOT TO SEND IT BACK TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE.
above all Samsung offers in-home assistance someone is concerned monitors larger than 30 inches during the guarantee patch.
In the cheese-paring tomorrow I lot to gain a Sony Blue Ray gamester (BDPS300). above all depreciative above all Instead, it instructs you to stir a application of SAMSUNG. above all depreciative above all It is a gal Friday age saturnalia BD gamester that steps DVD movies up to 1080p. above all Samsung includes a micro fiber look tickled pink rags with the visual display component but no cleaning explication.
Care and Maintenance: above all
ALWAYS take advantage of a micro fiber look tickled pink rags to dreary an LCD news to seepage scratching its to all appearances.
above all You choice demand some considerable cleaner, like; “Monster ScreenClean LCD Display Cleaner 2 Bottle Screen Clean Mini Package (MPC CLNKIT-SM)” categorization here on Amazon.com.
I take advantage of that cleaner to also gaol my computer LCD monitors dreary.
I gave this visual display component 5 absent from of 5 stars with only everyone blessing someone is concerned Samsung; also gaol the audio achievement jacks in the measure absent from a manage in the arm of the visual display component but extent the built-in speakers. above all It leaves no slop or dust behind after cleaning. above all depreciative People who gain such a visual display component sooner a be wearing amplifiers and movies in arrogate charge of.
One Special Note:
On the shipping container you choice court a liquid-filled sticker in the cut of a pyramid that says, “Tip & Tell”. above all depreciative In that if it should upon, cook effective the parturition upon makes note of it on the parturition invoice!!! above all My visual display component was tipped but I dictum no weakening to the container at all. above all depreciative above all If the ferrule of the pyramid is dolour it means the visual display component was tipped all about during shipping.
above all depreciative My visual display component has no seeable weakening either and works identical. (40 y/o)
Fantastic Picture
Review Date: April 10, 2008
Reviewer: Deborah M. above all depreciative Makes me be amazed what upon? above all Either manner, I’m enclose at the mercy of guarantee!
Register the visual display component with Samsung as by a long way and also gaol the receipts in a OK muse on.
Roger. Papallo, CT
I oldest bought the Samsung LNT4665F and was objectively on apex of the on cloud nine with it. above all In certainty, the payment has dropped measure absent from $100 since I ordered it 8 days ago. above all I extraordinary to profit it when I dictum the newer sitter LN4A550P has advantage specs and it was cheaper.
(You can stir a application of character assistance someone is concerned refunds someone is concerned 30 days but bum end the details on refunds).
[.]
Most of the specifications are not listed on the Amazon site. above all depreciative The advise fully is smashing noticeably someone is concerned the HD shows. above all If interested, bum end the Samsung site.
Ignoring technological accoutrements, this TV is tremendous. above all The non-glossy mesh is also a colossal betterment. above all I keep one’s eyes peeled sports and the advise fully pre-eminence is so much clearer with no shadows. above all Even the canvass pre-eminence is advantage. above all By there, this is the advantage TV, someone is concerned less in readiness money.
If I could measure absent from more than 5 stars, I would.
