While its various little picture niggles open the door for other upcoming LED models to potentially outperform the LE55A956, right now the problems don't do enough to stop me feeling as if I've just spent quality time with not only a great picture...

Black level ; Crisp and detailed HD images ; WISELINK Pro-DLNA is an exceptional addition

Mighty footprint in bezel and depth terms ; Pictures need tweaking ; SD pictures can look flat

A gorgeous TV with some truly inspirational features

Great design and styling ; feature-packed ; excellent black reproduction ; superb Blu-ray picture

On-screen noise infiltrates DVD and Freeview pictures ; colours can be tricky to balance

The original settings are well-balanced and thanks to Info Live, you can connect to the internet in real time through an ADSL

The design is essential, linear, perhaps too anonymous. They could definitely have cranked it up a notch

Terrific black levels, rich colours, stunning design, decent audio, great connectivity, good price for such a large LED screen

Incredible blacks comparable to the best plasmas, fantastic colours, sharp image, handles motion well, lots of bonus features

Minor aliasing on text, a little detail lost in some dark areas

Samsung's Series 9 LA46A950 is the best LCD TV on the market. While not perfect, its flaws are negligible and it offers an incredible combination of deep blacks, rich colours, sharp images and great motion, along with a host of bonus features, making...

Ethernet connection for Web services Fantastic remote control; great sound

Very expensive. Picture-in-picture doesn't work well

The menus are attractive and readable, though they do take up a lot of screen real estate. The main menu includes useful explanations. Navigation is normally easy but occasionally confusing. A smaller Quick Menu offers immediate access to commonly...
