1. ConsumerReports.org
ConsumerReports.org includes the 40-inch Samsung LN40A550 in its most recent update. Testing is competent and thorough, but discussion is brief. Recommendations are made, but half of the TVs tested make the grade.

2. PC World
PC World looks at a larger screen size in Samsung's Series 5 line of LCD HDTVs. Testing is complete and well documented, and there's a reasonable amount of discussion. Lincoln Spector says that the LN46A550 is "a well-rounded high-def television that does close to everything you'd want it to."

3. CNET
CNET also looks at the 46-inch version of the 40-inch Samsung LN40A650. David Katzmaier says that the TV "strikes an excellent balance between price and performance." It retains the great picture quality of the more expensive Samsung LCD TVs, but does lose some of their features and styling.
