Samsung LN37A550 Review

30 Apr 2009 16:31:11 PDT

Even the best TV speakers can't do justice to the audio of a modern Hollywood movie--which is why every good home theater needs a separate sound system. But the LN37A550's speakers are notably worse than most built-in speakers. ...

Sony does promise a a few advantages with their Bravia branded item, of course. The first I discussed above, that the player could mount to the back of your set (be it in a not so glamorous way).

Yamaha YHT-685 Home Theater System Review
