User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A little more $, but worth it!
I recently got this little HDTV on sale at Target for about the same price as amazon is offering it right now. It is a little more expensive than some of the other brands in this size, but well worth it.

It is solidly made and doesn’t feel flimsy, like some of the cheaper 19″ TVs I looked at did. The display is bright and crisp and in side by side comparisons, blew the competition away. The shiny black finish is very attractive also.

I primarily use this as a computer monitor and gaming TV. It makes my PS3 games look fantastic! Virtually no setup; plug and play. The display looks great right out of the box with minimal tinkering.

Overall, I have been very pleased with this HDTV.

4 Stars Very good choice for small room
This is a very good budget LCD TV for use in a kitchen, dorm room, small bedroom. 720p resolution is perfectly fine for a TV in this size (19″). The colors and picture look great with a bit of calibration (I found the default settings to be a bit too bright). There were enough A/V connections for me, although the audio from the built-in speakers is only adequate at best (but what else can one expect from a built-in audio system?). There are other models, both from Samsung and others, with more bells and whistles, but if you’re looking for a good basic small LCD TV, this one is definitely worth considering.

4 Stars Good little TV update
We bought this tv for the kitchen. We use it with Rabbit Ears and it works very well. The HD picture is excellent. Non HD are not very good. Audio is OK. Over all a good TV if you need one of this size. I suspect they may be a little over priced.

Update: We have had this TV for almost 2 months and like it better all the time. Picture quality actually is excellent on all over the air digital and HD, We only use it with attic antenna or rabbit ears. Audio is actually very good. It is built sturdy and yet very easy to move around form kitchen to patio. We could not be more satisfied with this little TV !

5 Stars Crisp Picture & Attractive Appearance
This is my second Samsung flat screen — the picture is perfect. This is a compact unit with a glossy black frame — bought it for my guest room and it is hooked up to FIOS (Verizon) — I am completely satisfied with this purchase from Amazon.

5 Stars Just a great little TV. . .
We bought this Samsung LN19A330 to replace an old tube TV we had in our home office. WOW! Even in full sunlight, the picture on this 19″ Samsung LCD is perfect. We have an older model of the same TV in our guest bedroom, and the difference in the newer model is clearly visible — brighter screen, more intense contrast, and the color is significantly more vivid. It is the perfect TV for a small room.

Lack of Bandwidth Oversight Damages HDTV Quality

Secondary channels should be banned. The local NBC affiliate runs a weather channel on their .2 and it their image quality is very poor next to the local CBS affiliate (CBS bans secondary channels).

mattnyc99 writes "Over at Popular Mechanics, Glenn Derene has a great new column investigating the lawless lands of broadcast television, where the quality of the picture that ends up on your expensive hi-def set is determined by a bunch of fuzzy math. Quoting: 'In fact, there's no real regulation over high-definition picture quality at all — "none whatsoever," one industry consultant told me. ...

What’s the first thing you notice when looking to buy a new piece of technology? Do you see if it falls within your budget? What about the spec list? Do you go over that in detail? And though these aspects are an important part of any technological buying decision, there’s one that beats them all. You ask yourself one question and if the answer is no, you won’t buy it. That question is: “Is it pretty?” Okay, so you might not say “pretty” but you most assuredly take the appearance of your n

HDTV Facets

The decisions needed with HDTV are more complex than the ones that were required with the previous technology. The process of planning an installation includes the choice of the HDTV, the programming source (usually cable or satellite), the Audio Subsystem (for the surround sound), the system interconnects (cabling), and the installation.

You might think that, here at APH Networks, we're a bunch of geeks who own a dozen computers at home. Maybe a TV and a microwave, and that's about it. I don't know about other members of the APH Networks team (Sorry guys hehe), but here's the deal though: While I do have almost a dozen computers around here, and I do own a microwave and an HDTV, I have something more than that. After all, despite popular belief, we do have a life. Okay, jokes aside, my point is that we aren't all over tech and t

Blu-Ray Watch: The Other Boleyn Girl

There's two ways to talk about this movie. First is as a purely visual experience as pulled off a Blu-Ray disc and onto a decent HDTV. In this case, it's near glorious. The fabrics on the costumes alone will stun you. The settings are excellent. The lighting will give you a range from inky blacks to heavenly lights. And then, as something other than a demo, the movie is pretty so so. It loosely follows history and The Girl couldn't really vouch for the accuracy with the book, the plot certainl
