Bought the Samsung 50" C550.

Bit the bullet and ordered a Samsung 50C550 without an audition....am counting on Samsung to deliver a set that suits me and one thats problem free.I would be pretty happy if this can match the quality of the Series 5 LCDs that they produce.

Imrahn - waiting eagerly for your feedback on samsung 50c550.
went to the samsung showroom and checked out the 50" C550, as the size is too small for my room, so now considering of buying the 58" c 6500- unfortunately they do not have it on display in any showroom. The samsung showroom in forum mall koramangala told me they would be getting one piece for dispaly, also some special offers and price drop is expected during diwali, which is when i am planning to purchase.
Is it just me or this site incredibly biased towards samsung

Any update on your problem Sanjay? Did you get a replacement which resolved the issue? Or you went for a refund and moved on to other TV?
If the problem is resolved, it would be good idea to remove that red warning in first post
This is the only place I am seeing this kind of feedback on samsung. Rest every where its other way around.
!!UPDATE ON POSTERISATION / green banding IN MOVIE MODE:
Finally got an exchange panel from my supplier.
Since I waited for nearly 3 months for an exchange, I think I can qualify the issues I was having compared to the new panel.
The new panel has absolutely NO posterisation issues from any source. While only having the panel 1 day, not enough time to confirm that it won't recur, it is enough to confirm that the issue is a GENUINE FAULT and if affected I urge you to seek and exchange from either the supplier or Samsung.
The original reason for the exchange, the loud buzzing, also seems to be rectified. The buzzing is there if you mute, but cannot be heard over normal volume. As long as the buzzing doesn't get louder over time, I can live with it.
The color balance seems to be better out of the box as well on the default modes. Perhaps there has been a revision to this model (could explain why there was a 3 month wait for the TV in Australia, also the startup menu seems slightly different from memory), but whatever the reason - I am happy I persevered with this model rather than taking second choice at this stage.
For those that have been annoyed by the reported floating black issue (I was), once the TV is run in and the DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION is set to AUTO (I worked it out after re-reading the manual), I found the flickering rarely occurs or is noticable enough to annoy.
I will update if any of the issues recur over time.

Actually I have not been able to conclude whether this is a problem with the TV or is simply a problem with quality of broadcast. Apparently the problem is only there with poor quality video. When watching channels with good quality or while watching Blu-rays or good quality DVDs the problem is not there. Also upon discussing the issue with a friend, he informed me that he faces similiar problems with his Samsung LCD also. Due to lack of time I have been was unable to follow this up with Samsung and have decided to just live with the problem. It would be nice to hear from others who have bought this TV to know if it is just my TV that has the problem.Any update on your problem Sanjay? Did you get a replacement which resolved the issue? Or you went for a refund and moved on to other TV?

NOTE: Based on the comments above by 'plushy', I will try and follow this up with Samsung and see what can be done. Unfortunately dealing with such issues in India are not as simple as in Australia or elsewhere. It is going to be quite a task to get Samsung in India to accept this is an actuall problem with the TV.

As stated the banding and posterisation in shadows does not exist at all with the new TV, even with very poor signal. I definately would not live with issue now that I know it is a genuine fault.
I never noticed the problem initially with the old TV; maybe it is something that shows up over time - we'll see.
It might be worth adding that the buzz issue is back a bit louder to today, no where as bad as the last panel, but still an issue.

Sanjay,
Sorry for bringing back the old thread alive. I am in the same boat as you. I called up the samsung engineer and he tells me it is poor telecast and also the image being used in streach mode. Although his answer was not even convincing he was extremely arrogant so I had to let him walkout immediately from my place. But I am seriously thinking to write to Samsung . SD is really really BAD , GLOSSY , Shade, Ghost image, Shadow layers :sad:... I have a multi room AIRTEL connection and it works perfect on my other SONY LCD ..............
Were you able to get this problem resolved ?

I don't think the problem is as bad as described by you. The problem is definately more, with poor quality video, specially poor quality SD video. You might want to also check your picture settings and tone down the contrast levels. By the way, I personally feel that the latest firmware update has improved the picture quality somewhat and personally I do not have nearly as much problems with color banding anymore.
SD was very poor when i had Tatasky (composite ), things improved greatly when i switched to big tv(component video first, now hdmi with dvr), , Are you using normal or hd stb?
does your airtel stb has component video output?
I am using AIRTEL HD...
Viewing mode movie/standard :
Cell light : 15
Contrast: 95
Brightness : 40
Color : 50
Sharpness : 40 - 45
Yday I was watching few sports channels I could not make out faces... I thought STB- AVR- TV was some lag but STB - TV also same no difference.
Samsung engineers comes with few hd rips in his USB and says everything is fine problem with STB.. Airtel guy says problem with TV.. :sad:
I will try the latest firmware tonight and see if it improves any.
