Which one do you think is better? I've heard good things about both, but I heard the Sony has some "sparkle" issue.

Is it widespread?

The Samsung LN40a550 is a great set. Here's the owners thread for it over at AVS Forum....read about it a little and see what people think of it that own it...

I heard the Sony has a feature called auto-dimming. Is there a way to turn it off?

That's nice and all, but I asked about the 550 not the 750. Two completely different sets. Of course I would choose the 750 over the v4100, but from what I've heard, the Sony is better the the Sammy a550. (Crisper picture, better game mode).

I'm very Aware that you were asking about the 550 but the 750 has a Much more Noticable Darker Blacks and MOre amazing Accurate Colors than the 550.

Just a suggestion!

I have...but it's useless. The sources and TV settings are different at every store.

Useless? Most people don't buy a tv blind. Take your own material and compare the HDTVs.
