I purchased this product roughly for $1000 with a 20% cashback on eBay. I could not wait to gets my hands on this beauty as I read some great reviews on this unit. I have had a 40' Panasonic 40LC12 RPTV for over 3 years and I bought this unit as a replacement. However when the product arrived my first impression was, there is such a thing called 'too small'! This TV is a bedroom TV at best, not definitely a living room TV that you can enjoy watching football. Here are the pros and cons of this unit:
Cons:
* Anynet+ (which was an important factor for choosing this model) does not work very well. I have a HT-TZ515T home theater that is supposed to work great with this unit. To my disappointment, the anynet+ feature doesn't synchronize very well. When the TV is turned ON, the home theater would shut-down automatically. If you force the HT system ON, it disconnects the rear-wireless unit and you get a error message. Customer service told me that anynet+ is not a tested feature and is not guaranteed to work
* 60Hz: This TV takes about 40 seconds for switching back and forth between a SD and a HD signal.
* Incoherent SD-HD Transition: The LN37A550 gets stuck at either 480p or 1080i. So if you are watching a HD channel and you switch to a SD then you are stuck with 1080i resolution. You have to live with the 'bands' on the L & R of the screen. The manual says the bands can cause burn-in and is not covered under warranty. You have to turn the TV off and ON to restore full-screen 480p functionality. The simplest solution is to call your cable company to fix this problem. It is much easier to take care of this problem with the cable box
* Remote: Basic functions such as input selection, screen display size (wide-screen, just-fit etc) are hidden within the menus. Non-tech savvy users will find it extremely hard to maneuver and change these supposedly simple tasks. For example, you need to push the remote 7 times to change the display setting. What was Samsung thinking?
* SD Picture: The LN37A550 does a mediocre job in displaying SD signals on wide-screen. My Panasonic RPTV was fairly smooth compared to this TV.
* No Memory Card Reader: Are you kidding me? For a TV priced at $1200, who forgot to put a memory card reader on?
* Price: This TV is pretty pricey for the performance and specifications
Pros:
* Picture Quality: Bright,colorful, gorgeous display with HD content. My RPTV would not even come close to this beauty. This is the only reason why I would not return this unit.
* Style
* Frame comes pre-installed
* Light weight
* Low power consumption
Summary:
If I have to do it all over again, I would get a Panasonic 42' 1080p plasma TV that you can find on sale for roughly $800. If you want this TV for your living room, it is a baaad idea. The screen size is way too small. It looks like a 32' TV. I regret not getting the 40' model (costs $300 more). Did I forget to mention that the TV is too small? Well, it is!

Display is good and colors are vibrant.
Great thing it can connect to PC directly.
However, sound is not impressive.
