Although CNET did not review the 37-inch Samsung LN37A550 we did review the 46-inch Samsung LN46A550. Judging from their specification sheets the two Samsung flat-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 46-inch model to give a good indication of how the 37-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung LN46A550.

Summary: The Samsung LN52A550's matte-finished screen delivers a detailed HD picture, but stumbles in some fast-motion scenes. And color consistency within the darkest picture details is lacking when compared with that of the competition.
