Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

The SAMSUNG LN40A550 delivers the sharpest, most realistic picture quality you've ever seen. Full HD (1080p) contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. That means more pixels, more details and a better picture. A resolution that is approximately twice as much as conventional HD TVs creates the most perfect picture imaginable. Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Watch movies and shows come to life with enhanced details in very dark or bright scenes. Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that's sure to catch your eye with 30,000:1 contrast ratio. One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 5ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes. Want to get more entertainment out of your TV than movies and shows? With our Wiselink USB connection, you can easily and quickly hook up your MP3 player or digital camera and entertain family and friends with a photo slideshow set to music. SAMSUNG LCD TVs make your high-definition dreams a reality. With the SAMSUNG LN40A550 HDTV you really get the total package. 30,000 - 1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio 5ms Response Time 16 - 9 Aspect Ratio SRS TruSurround XT 10 W + 10 W Audio System Input Ports - 3 x HDMI (1 side, 2 rear), 2 x Component, 2 x A/V (1 side, 1 rear), 1x 15-pin VGA PC, 1 x S-Video (side), Wiselink (USB 2.0), RF antenna inputs, Headphone jack (side) Approximate Unit Dimensions - 39.2 (W) x 27 (H) x 11.8 (D) with stand Appro ximate Unit Weight - 61.5 pounds.

6ave may ship you the "B" model...
I ordered the LN40A550 from this page, and I actually received the LN40B550 from 6ave. This is indeed a "newer model", but the B-type does not have picture-in-picture, and it has the subtle red "touch of color" while the A-type does not. I can't believe they did this! Here's their response:

"Thanks for your e-mail. We sincerely apologize but we sent you the upgraded model for the one you ordered. If you do not want the new model, please call us at 877-... for the RA number and the instructions for the return. Thanks."

It's not enough of a bother for me to return the thing, but still: caveat emptor!

Anyway, the TV is great, although it's not what I ordered!

Great TV... but do not order from ""ELECTRONICS EXPO" from NJ...
Excellent TV. But watch who you are ordering from. I have a problem with the TV that came damage during shipment. I have called several time to resolve the issue with exchanging it. They told me to contact the "Manufacturer" to fix the problem. So, I called Samsung and they had a tech to see the problem. When the tech saw the TV, he told me that Samsung with not replace the LCD screen. He told me, it would "COST" me $900 to replace it. I call the Electronics Expo again, and now they tell me that they have to contact the shipper. I waited and waited with no responds. I was so angry, I disputed with my credit card and gave them a bad feedback. I also had a similar problem with VANN'S but there are GREAT. I love them. Watch out for "ELECTRONICS EXPO".
