This TV is great. Especially for the price. When I first switched over to HD, the difference is amazing. As far as this tv goes, the picture is very good. Sound is alright if you are just listening through the TV speackers. The Touch of Color is almost non-existent and seems to be a marketing ploy. The touch sensitive buttons on the actual unit are very hard to operate and they do not seem to light up making them even more difficult to find and use. The 60 hz of this tv used to not bother me too much but after watching a lot of sports, it becomes apparent that the refresh rate is a little slow. Overall this tv is a great buy, especially for a new hdtv owner. Now if i had only gotten the bigger one...

Buyer Beware2010-02-25
Please review posts at this and related sites about Samsung LCD TVs. Mine failed at 18 months - many, many, others have had similar experiences. Samsung offered no resolution since the warranty ran out at 12 months.

I needed to replace a defective Magnovox TV (32" LCD flat screen) so choose this Samsung LN40B550 40" 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color. I started researching different brands of TV's, read reviews (very helpful), shopped prices and finally decided on this Samsung model. I found this same set on sale at Costco with free shipping but decided to check out prices at Amazon. I discovered I was able to save consider money (over $200.00 plus) by purchasing it through Amazon even with paying extra shipping charge. I bought my set on 2/6 and it was brought to my home on 2/14 by freight company (they could have delivered it a few days earlier but that didn't fit my schedule). The set was brought into my home, unpacked, plugged in to make sure it was working, remote checked and I was given option of having box taken away. What a great delivery process! I was able to hook it up to cable box, attach my blue ray disc player & Wii console by myself (I'm a senior). This TV is awesome & the right choice for me. Since I'm not an electronic wizard I was looking for a TV that suited my needs. This certainly does that & more. I would recommend this Samsung model, picture color is beautiful, remote is perfect size, manual gives all the instruction I need, sound is good, easy to operate & perfect for my bedroom. Watching the Olympics on my new TV is a great experience.
Very good !2010-02-05
You have to compare model numbers when your comparing ratings and prices. There seems to be too many and can be confusing. This particular model lives up to my expectations.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
