Samsung PN50B550 Lives up to my expectations

First the bad.
Like the other review, my first tv was delivered with a broken screen. Thankfully, the delivery guys were there and I didn't have to lug the thing around, they did. Follow-up with Amazon was good and the replacement was delivered in 5 days (weekend included).

Now the good.
The picture is incredible. I sit approx. 10 feet away from the screen and the picture is great. I don't have HD cable, so watching normal cable can be pretty ugly, but I'm getting used to it. Network HD channels are nice and clear. Blu-rays, equals the best I've seen. This tv replaced a 42" Philips (720p). I wasn't sold on the 1080p being that much better than to 720p, but now that I have a 1080p, no comparison. I can't say enough about the picture. Also, PS3 on this unit blows my mind.

Of lesser importance, the remote is also nice for a guy with big hands. The bigger buttons has cut down on the number of my mistakes.

I want to give this tv a fifth star, but I'm still a little mad about the broken screen on delivery. But seriously, anyone looking for a great tv for a great price should seriously consider this tv.
