Incredible hi-def picture but what about non-HD?

1. Delivery--flawless and timely (ordered from Amazon). I connected it to our Comcast HD cable box, plugged in in, and haven't stopped watching since.

2. Hi definition channels look INCREDIBLE. The much-feared glare from the polished black frame turned out to be a non-factor. It doesn't get any better than this (of course, this is my first step up from conventional old fashioned TVs, so what do I know?).

3. BUT...non-HD stations pretty much look blah. Foggy, snowy, ghosted, continually refocusing, some better than others, but none of them up to par. With some adjusting of contrast, sharpness, and other options, I have been able to "thicken up" the display so the flaws are less obvious, but this isn't the way it's supposed to be.

So the question for those in the know is: What up? Is it a lemon (I doubt it)? Is it typical and we all have to live with it until all stations are HD (that would be suprising since I have been on digital cable for years with flawless display on regular TV)? Is it a bad cable box? Or is there a setting I have overlooked?

Excellent performance, Delivered beyond expectations

The TV has performed perfectly, easy to set up. Delivered exactly on time as promised although it was a special 320 mile round trip just for me, no other deliveries that day on their route.

Great Deal

This is the second Samsung (40" & 52")from Amazon. It had a great picture, but the sound is not so great. I uses a sound system and not the tv speakers.

Murph

Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTVI purchsed this set about week ago and it was delivered in about 5 days- much quicker than Amazon had indicated- delivery person was very accomodating and had called the day before and then 2 hours before he actually brought it. Price was considerably less than big box stores or on line with other vendors-
I am very pleased with the set even with watching just analog as I don't have HD connected yet.-Maybe not quite as clear as old analog set but format & size is different also so this probably accounts for that. I'm sure it will vastly improve with HD.
I really don't have any complaint about the sound but I am not a real audiophile so I think it is pretty good without any enhancing equipment.
I recommend this set to anyone as a very good 40" starter hdtv.
