No. The LN40A550 has no apps, streaming or internet connection. You need an external streaming stick or box for Netflix and similar services.

Does it have a built-in digital tuner?

Yes. It has an ATSC tuner, so an antenna picks up over-the-air digital channels without a separate box.

What resolution and refresh rate does it have?

It is a 1080p (1920x1080) LCD panel with a 60Hz refresh rate. It does not support 4K.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

It has multiple HDMI inputs along with component and composite connections, enough for a console, a cable box and a streaming device.

Is it good for gaming?

It works for casual and retro gaming, but the 60Hz panel and older processing mean more motion blur and input lag than modern TVs.

Can it be wall-mounted?

Yes, it uses a standard VESA wall mount, though the set is heavier than current LED TVs, so check the mount's weight rating.

Our take on the Samsung LN40A550P3FXZA 40-Inch 1080P Lcd TV

The Samsung LN40A550 is a 40-inch 1080p LCD television from Samsung's 2008 A550 series. It uses a CCFL-backlit LCD panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, a built-in ATSC digital tuner, and Samsung's older DNIe image processing. It suits a bedroom, den or secondary room where a basic full-HD set is enough, and it is a used-market item today. Against later LED-backlit sets it is thicker, dimmer and less efficient, and it lacks smart apps, streaming and 4K, so a modern budget TV offers more for the same role.
