5 Stars Loving my new Samsung
Purchased this Samsung for my Kitchen. The size of the TV is great ! the white color is even better. The picture and sound quality are wonderful. I highly recommend this HDTV.
5 Stars Very good
Bought this 19″ Samsung for use in the kitchen and Camper Trailer. It works great for both of those situations. Was 60miles from St.Louis and picked up all HD and digital signal with no problem while camping in a state park. I know that is not camping, but I like to watch the news during the evening!
I havent tried this but read where another reviewer could receive HD signals from cable out of the wall with no receiver box, if that is true that is a bonus.
The pictures quality comes supprisingly close to my 46 inch Sony XBR 4 which is suppose to be one of the best TV’s out there.
Speakers are not hi-fi but adaquate, and allow for the very compact and light design.
Overall this is very good televison which is priced very attractively at verious sellers.
5 Stars Great for college
This TV is amazing! My previous college roommate had the 40-inch version of this TV where it was prominently displayed in our living room, and we loved it. Now he’s graduated and he took the TV with him (he paid for it). Anyhow, my other roommate and I split the coast of a flat screen box TV and it was a PAIN to move around, and it was poor quality. I got fed up and decided to toss that giant monster and got this beauty. The quality is beyond great. It’s light, easy to assemble, and takes up little space.
Buy it.
5 Stars Perfect performer for the kitchen
This television replaced an old 9-inch model in my kitchen so the upgrade has been a dramatic improvement. Even on its own merits, this TV is a great performer for a smaller space. Ours is connected to a FIOS box, not HD, however. Still, the digital image is crisp and easy to watch. The sound is excellent as well. No complaints whatsoever.
My son has a slightly older Samsung 32-inch used for playing x-box and watching tv. He does have the high-def converter box and the HD pic is awesome. You can see the razor stubble on baseball players’ cheeks, blades of grass on the ballfield, etc. We bought the smaller Samsung for the kitchen because we were so impressed with the bigger one in my son’s room. The Samsung TV family has been impressive.
I slightly wish I had gotten the white model as it seems more “kitcheny” but the converter box is black plus a black surround makes the “letterboxing” less obvious since the black screen borders merge into the black of the television itself. We generally set the pic to a 4:3 ratio as that seems to match the majority of the non-HD television shows we watch. Oh yes, the remote makes it easy to set the picture ratio. You don’t have to enter the menu itself. Just click. A great TV!
3 Stars Too Dark
While this tv does have good color and a clear picture, I tend o find that it crushes blacks in dark scenes. You lose a lot of shadow details. Generally speaking, the set is simply too dark. I have the back light set at 7. If I turn it up all the way, the top and bottom of the screen start to bleed white light. Even with the back light turned all the way up, it is still too dark for my tastes. My new 65 inch DLP has a much brighter picture. Also the sound is mediocre. That is nothing new for small lcd tvs.
Since the exterior color was as important as the picture in this application, I will keep it.
