Excellent TV
This is the 3rd Samsung I've bought. This one for my inlaws, a 26 inch for the camper. and a 52 inch for the home along with a samsung Blu-ray player. All are excellent TVs. I've had the oldest one over 2 years and never a moment's trouble.

Samsung LN37C550 37-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV
Magnificent picture quality. Remote is easy to use. Instructions to setup were clear. Very pleased.

Nice TV when not buzzing
The picture quality is very nice, set up is intuitive, and the styling is attractive. The first TV had a loud buzzing sound emanating from the rear. Other reviewers have noted this and it was noticeable at normal listening levels. Some times it was loud as soon as the set was turned on and other times it became louder over time.

The second set hasn't had this problem yet. A low buzzing sound is still present, but you cannot hear it while watching TV. There appears to be an issue with a component on this model since my older Samsung doesn't exhibit this problem.

The price is right and the set is very nice, but you may have to exchange it due to the buzzing sound.

Samsung 37-inch LCD Televison
We are very pleased with this television. However, the instructions for hooking it up could have been clearer, especially for connecting it to a VHS/DVD recorder/player. We keep it on a stand rather than mounting it on a wall.

Samsung model LN37C550 37" 1080p LCD HDTV
grabbed 1 on sale this week to replace
a very very old unit in the home.
the entire viewing family is VERY pleased
with this unit.
1 - we don't have the high buzzing sound
from ours that one person mentioned as a
defective unit.
2 - the dark colored front panel controls
on the lower front bezel are a bit light
but we mostly use the remote controls so
that isn't a real issue.

unit fits our built in hardwood multi
media cabinetry perfectly 37" is the
right choice for our smaller viewing area.
i think the screen views well even from
extreme side seating locations.

things i might suggest to the factory;

1 - it seemed the set had minimal padding
inside when i opened the box. ours is, as
i said, in perfect shape, but if i was
the factory QC guy, i'd be putting more
protection in front of the screen. ours
used a 2 inch space for protection and the
box itself.
2 - i'd try to put small recessed handle
grabs in the rear frame in a larger design
element like this. lifting it is a two
person job per the manual but both people
found their grips slipping on the highly
polished (and good looking) set edges.

our entire extended family seems to have
settled on the Samsung line. that's
about 12 sets! really; we all love this
brand, have many different styles and
have had great experiences with the
performance and reliability of the Samsung
equipment. we did get an extended warranty
anyway on an investment like this one.

i haven't tried the connectivity to my
home network yet, but the menu seems well
designed and very logical. my wife is becoming
the family set it up expert.

i gave this 5 stars in the rating.
very pleased.
oh... i have a large surge suppressor
UPS box on the infeed from the electric
outlet. we have them on ALL our electronic
devices, PC, etc. power in our area is very
prone to spikes and storm related events.
i'd suggest this to anyone.
