Pros: I've had this TV for 18 months now, and have been very satisfied with both picture & sound. Works great with Direct TV & also from a small roof mounted 8 bay UHF antenna. We are 50~60 miles from stations.
Cons: Recently, I have noticed a sharp blue line extending vertically from top to bottom of the screen, just right of center. Sometimes not there when you 1st power up in the AM, but always returns. Anyone with a similar problem, or hopefully a SOLUTION?
Pros: - fantastic picture after adjustment - 120 Hz a gimmick, imho (I have an 850 series samsung) - no digital gimmicks ensures future compatibility - lots of jacks for a mid-price TV - very bright and excellent colors
Cons: - must crank the backlight for best picture (wastes power) - must crank the gamma for best picture (limits adjustability) - must crank up dynamic backlight for best picture (limits adjustability)
Summary: My first TV was an LN52A850. My second is an LN52B550, for a relative. I was extremely impressed with the picture, and feel that it has 90-95% of the picture ...
