(Samsung LN46B550 Review: 46” LCD HDTV
Up for Review: Samsung LN46B550 LCD TV. Audio receives a special mention in this TV with SRS TruSurround HD sound. With two speakers being available of 10 W each, you can get a great audio experience. Even if your room is very large and you don’t get a seat quite close enough to the TV, you can still hear the dialogues quite clearly. You can also enjoy the music with its great stereophonic sound. Samsung is surely trying to carve out a name for providing the best audio among the HDTV manufacturers.
Along with sound you can also get a great view of the screen because of the 178 degrees viewing angle. Even if you are sitting away from the TV and not directly in front of it, you will still be able to view all the programs on TV without any washing out of colors at the edges. And of course, the 1080p display resolution improves the picture quality to a great extent. The clarity is greatly improved and so is the color with Wide Color Enhancer2. You can get a variety of shades to make the picture look all the more natural.

A fast response time of 5 ms is quick enough to make all the action scenes refreshingly clear. You will enjoy racing along in the car or firing at your enemies during the video games that you play on the gaming console. Together with this response time is the 70,000:1 contrast ratio. This makes possible excellent black levels where the images are clearly defined and so are the dark and light areas in the images. The brightness is also on the higher which produces brilliant images.
Connectivity is very good with as many as 4 HDMI. It is possible to connect gaming devices, camcorders, Blu-ray disc players and other high definition devices through these connections. The addition of a WiseLink USB 2.0 port allows you make a quick connection to view the photos from the digital camera. There is also a PC video input which can be used to convert the HDTV into a computer monitor. Now you can do all the work on a high definition display. For a price of $1,299.99 MSRP, this seems a decent TV to buy.
