Same problem here with our 550 series.
Where are the responses?
I'm on my 2nd LN40A750 since I hated that I had to point exactly
on the lower right corner to get remote control response.
Unfortunately the new TV is having the same problem.
(There is more people complaining about this on AVS forum)
Any comment Mr.Samsung ?
