4 Stars Exactly as advertised
For about $20, my expectations weren’t too high, but this product has done everything the description says it will do. There’s three HDMI inputs on the “front” and one output on the “back” (front and back distinctions are at your discretion). Simply hook up your devices and then connect to your upstream television or other video display device. The box takes care of switching back and forth or you can use the included 3-button remote to manually swap.

It all works perfectly. The device does take about 30 seconds to notice that my Xbox 360 has been shut down, but I don’t know if that’s the fault of the box or if the 360 doesn’t close off the HDMI port until the final moment.

5 Stars Works like a charm!
Very nice unit for a very reasonable price. Does the job as advertised. Small size is handy for those with an aversion to clutter.

5 Stars Great Features, Great Picture, Great Price
For those of you who want a bright, sharp HDTV packed with useful features for the bedroom, this is your set! I have used my television as an alarm clock since my college days in the 1970’s (that is not a typo!) and this television has that feature. You can wake to your favorite morning news show. Another feature that i didn’t expect and love, is touted as a “Green” feature. For all of us insomniacs out there, if you can’t sleep, and you like the “noise” of the tv, but don’t want the whole room lit up, this television has a feature that allows you to listen to the television but shut the picture. I was surprised and thrilled when I discovered this. Of course there is a sleep timer, different picture settings etc. The audio, unfortunately, leaves something to be desired. But that is the only negative I find, and it is way overshadowed by the great features of this television. I highly recommend it.

5 Stars Great Bedroom/kitchen TV
This is a great little hdtv for any bedroom or kitchen for its size!

I was however, a little worried about the sound quality from other reviews I had read about this particuar model. After having it for a week I have found these bad reviews of the sound quality to be unfounded. The sound quality is excellent and plenty loud enough for a smaller room. The #1 feature of this set is the quality of the picture in brightly lit rooms. I have not seen another flat screen that handles light reflection as well as LG’s. I am considering buying a second one to use for my desktop computer as it has a RGB input as well!!!

4 Stars Good purchase
Decent tv for the price, the settings to adjust color and picture aren’t difficult to use but difficult to get the picture I desire. The size is okay for an average size bedroom (12 X 12) but if I had it to do over I probably would choose a 26 inch or larger.

4 Stars Remote is awfully inconvenient!
HD is beatiful. Analog is not good. The worst thing is remote. Its bottom round shape is irritating as you cannot operate it with one hand if it’s on the table. You HAVE to use both hands on most operations! Pretty idiotic! Sound is cheap.

But again, the HD picture is inspiring and leaves you wishing all channels are in 1080i HD (beats my 32″ Sharp Aquos 720p by a mile).

4 Stars Great Monitor
Very good monitor to replace my 19″in LCD Monitor. The HDTV tuner responses a little bit slow and build-in speaker is not very good qulity. But over all a good product for its decent price.

5 Stars false advertisement
EVERYTHING IS GOOD BUT IT NEEDS A DIGITIAL BOX TO RECIEVE A TV SIGNAL. I CALL SAMSUNG FALSE ADVERTISEMENT BY COMPANYS SELLING IT!I PURCHASE 40″& 24″ SAMSUNG FROM AMASON ADVERTISING DIGITIAL READY FALSE ADD?????Samsung LN40B550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

4 Stars Excellent TV, reasonable monitor
As a TV, very stylish and nice. However, I bought this product to use as a monitor. It’s ok if you don’t care about getting perfect colors, as myself. However, even so, I had a hard time to set up the best options such that my eyes don’t hurt and the bright is reasonable…

5 Stars True 5 Stars
This monitor is exceptional! The picture is amazing. Other people reviewed that there was no horizontal adjustment which is not at all true. Before you put the base on, you pull off the attachment which has a metal plate that can be adjusted to change the tilt. Only gripe I have is that I wanted to use analog audio while using DVI which isn’t possible. The UI is extension with many options for every input. The picture loss when moving left, right, up, or down really isn’t that bad. It’s just like any other high end LCD tv. I’ve watched a couple movies streaming NetFlix sitting about 6″ away and have been more than satified with the definition and picture quality. I highly recommend this for either a TV, gaming station, or editing because the size of this monitor allows for a large area of editing space. Samsung is this shiiiiatt.
