Hello AVS Forum, After joining the site just today, I am blown away by the amount of detailed information and community feedback that is available. I cannot wait to get my fingers dirty in all the threads. I bought a Samsung 40" LCD LN40D550 a couple months ago. It is DLNA compatible, so...

We just moved into a new house and there is a built-in cabinet in the bedroom that is 36" wide. Our old Panasonic 42" plasma was great at our previous house but won't fit here (too wide). - I've looked at the 40" Samsung LED's and they are 36 3/8" at minimum. - The Panasonic TC-L37E5 seems...

I'm having a tough time fine tuning the 40E550 but can't seem to find anything on this model. I do find alot of last years 40D550. I was just wondering if anyone knows if these two panals are the same just the E is the more stripped down version. ie two hdmi's, no DLNA, no swivel stand, 1...

I have a Samsung LN40D550 that cannot produce gamma below 2.64. I have moved the gamma setting to +3 (max), and played with the brightness / contrast / backlight controls. I have turned off all the auto settings, the eco settings, dynamic contrast, black level settings etc. It is set to...

I am looking at a 40" Samsung (LN40D550) and a 42" LG (42LK450). I will be buying them both used/refurbished as my budget is on the lower side. Even though I have a low budget I am obviously wanting the best performing TV. FPS Gaming performance is my biggest priority as that will be the main...

I would like to buy one of these tvs. I cannot figure out what the difference between them is though. Can anyone help me please?

I still only have a 27" CRT TV and want to finally go widescreen. I had my mind set on the Samsung PN43D450 43" 720P Plasma, I hear great things about it's picture, other than the reflection. In store it looked great too! I was at Costco and saw that one (440 actually) and the Samsung...

Welcome! For Posterity in this thread.. if you could post your firmware version and country purchased as well. that would be great! My firmware is 2011/02/11_001007.(CAN) you can check the firmware version from "menu, support---software upgrade" The D550 series is IMO the best panel for the...

My parents just bought a new LN40D550. I went over to check it out and noticed the backlight dynamically changes brightness based on what's being displayed on screen. The darker the image gets the lower the backlight goes. This is most noticeable when there's black bars on screen and the black...

Hey everyone! I know this is my first post, so I hope it is ok that I am starting this thread. I have been lurking here for while now and love the amount of information that is here. I purchased a Samsung LN46D550 last night to replace my dead Samsung 40" LCD. I've only had a few hours to...
