I've got a 37" Westy right now and I'm looking to upgrade within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Mainly looking at getting a Samsung 37" 550 series. I can get it for around $950 shipped which isn't bad at all. I would like to get a 40" in the 650 series but 1)they are expensive and 2)I think the pixel pitch might be a bit to high(I sit really close so 37" is probably my limit).
Anybody here with experience using the 550 series as a monitor? Haven't really seen any reviews of the 550 series...that's why I'm asking. The 650 series are getting excellent ratings though.

Any thoughts?

Probably much better black levels too.

If only they made a 37" in the 650 or 750 series. :(
