Samsung UN40D5500 CYBER MONDAY, Works for me!!
I am by no means a TV expert. Like many people, I read a few reviews and thought this was a good price. I have had the TV now a couple months and it seems great; picture, sharpness, contrast, quality, sound (I am no audiophile though!).
It was relatively easy to set up. Pretty much plug and play, even though I got turned around once or twice. The instructions were pretty clear, but left out 1 or 2 little things.

Samsung UN40D5500 REVIEWS
Samsung UN40D5500 Very Nice.
I purchased this exact TV at Sam's Club but thought I would leave a review here. I have owned the TV for about 6 months and have had quite a bit of time to play around with everything so I thought I would write a quick review.
Picture:
First off, the picture quality on this TV is excellent. I can't say I'm a picture purist or anything but everything I have plugged into this TV looks good. Blu-ray movies through my PS3 look great. PS3 games also look great. I have even had good luck with lower quality sources such as my old VCR (yes, I still own one) and older video game systems such as my PS1. There are some picture filters which help to clean up some of the noise from lower quality sources and my older Sony 47' LCD doesn't clean them up as well. The one drawback I will say is that if there is only one item on an entirely black screen, such as a video game menu or something, the whole screen will be pretty dim due to the way LED dimming works. I think this is probably true of most LED TV's and is different than my regular Sony LCD so I thought I would point it out.
Audio:
Audio quality is pretty good for such a thin TV. The speakers are not visible from the front and sound much better than my older Sony. I'll probably still end up getting a sound bar since I am an audio purist. The one thing that really irks me in this department is no headphone jack. There is an audio out but that doesn't work well for headphones at all. This problem is not only with Samsung, many newer TV's have omitted a headphone jack. How much could it possibly cost to add? I'm sure many people would find it convenient.
Other:
Do not pay for the overpriced Samsung wireless network adapter. I used the Rosewill RNX-N1 from newegg for roughly $25 and it works perfectly. Updating the firmware via a USB stick was a breeze. The Samsung hub is a nice feature. Netflix streaming works well. Also, I like the ability to load .avi movies onto a thumb drive and watch them straight on the TV. No more needing to hook up my laptop and mess with getting up to pause, etc. One final thing to note is that being an LED lit TV, it puts out almost no heat. This is a bonus for the smallish non-air-conditioned room that I use it in.
Overall:
This isn't the cheapest LED TV but it seems to hit the value proposition well. It is full featured and looks good. Overall, I would buy it again and would recommend to others.
Samsung UN40D5500 Best Buy.
Let me first say that this is the first time I have ever bought an HDTV let alone an LED TV. So I may not be an expert but I will tell you like I see it.
Picture quality: I am finding that the picture is incredibly clear. I tend to watch quite a bit of sports and it makes following the baseball, hockey puck, etc so much easier. The refresh rate is only 60 mHz but it doesn't blur at all so it is great. I also bought a Blu Ray player and it looks really good on this TV.
Glare: The biggest thing I noticed with this TV is that there is virtually no glare. I used to be able to see myself in my old TV while it was on because there was a lamp beside me. I can't even see a hint of myself, let alone the lamp. Amazing!
Sound: I don't have a surround sound system as of yet but I am happy with the sound quality from the TV. It is nothing amazing but it certainly does the job and sounds good.
Setup: I found that it was very easy to setup, even for someone who knows practically nothing about TV's.
From what I have used on this TV so far I have been extremely happy with. Well done Samsung!
Samsung UN40D5500 So far so good!
I was not sure when I got this tv that I would like it...but I do..took awhile for me to adjust to the LED picture and the size. My other tv was 32" LCD. The blu ray movies are just wonderful to watch on this tv. I have had some problems with some Samsung products before and took a chance with buying this tv. So far so good!
