I love this Samsung TV... by Kashigirl on amazon.com Jun 30, 2012
My husband and I have become Samsung TV fans and this 40" flat screen did not disappoint us! The picture is clear and the sound is good; no additional speakers are really needed in a smaller sized room. Set up was a breeze!
 
Samsung 40' 1080 pixel TV by Jacqueline H. on vanns.com Jun 20, 2012
I love my new TV. IT was easy to set up. The only thing that I dont like about it - is that the speakers are in the rear of the TV. So, sometime you have to turn the volume up loud.

The Samsung E550 series LCD is a decent performer with excellent shadow detail and good colors but image softness hampers a hearty recommendation.
