excellent TV 
2008-10-03
I use this TV in my bedroom. The picture and features are great! I'm very happy that I decided to make this purchase, although the screen does look a little smaller than I thought it would. You may wish to consider a 20" or 22" instead. The 19" does work OK for me, though, because I'm only about 5' away from it.
I wish Amazon would be more careful with their packaging. The TV came in its original box from the mfg'er, which was put into a box about twice as large with very little packing material for cushioning. Very poor job, Amazon!
Wonderful set at a great price!

I am very pleased with this set! I'd purchased it to place in my kitchen; the viewing distance from my kitchen table to the set is 8 feet, and I can watch with perfect visibility; the kitchen counter stretches another 7 feet and I am fine viewing the screen from that distance as well. Hooking up the HD cable box is a piece of cake, and I'd completed the task within 20 minutes; the TV will then automatically update the channels and you can of course, customize them as well. The color is great, and the deep red color within the frame of the set is very subtle. I truly believe that the clarity and crispness of this picture is better than my larger diameter HD set! Additionally, Samsung ranks high on dependability...
The savings on the set is significant; PC Richards offered me a "rock bottom" price of $450.00; with tax, it was topping out at $481.00. Here at Amazon, there wasn't any sales tax, and being I am an Amazon prime member, I received 2 day shipping at no extra charge! Collectively, it is a savings of over $100.00!
Buy this set; you won't be disappointed!

no usb part for viewing jpg's

clearly the Key Features say:
Rear-mounted USB 2.0 port: connect USB devices directly to your HDTV to view JPEG photos or MPEG movies or easily listen to your MP3 player through your HDTV's audio system or your home theater system.
but, not on this unit. in fact, not till you get to the 30" 6 series. That is too bad. After a ton of research, and confirmed with tier two support, the feature listed is not accurate.

Samsung Red TOC 2008-08-18
I did my homework before deciding on my Samsung TOC in red.Buying from Amazon because I've been very satisfied with their service and no one else could beat their price.I saved over $100.00 through them on this TV comparitively and as for the top of the line compared to the store brand (& who knows what company makes them!) it ran me $82.00 more to have the set with the best reputation.Needless to say I am most impressed with the picture as is any one who sees it,company comes and stares and loses interest in our 53" big screen! The color & contrast are out of this world! It is in my kitchen & only hooked up to an antennia, it immediately pulled in more channels.The touch of red is seen from the side, it is subtle, but this TV is beautiful in design.

The only thing I find wrong with the Samsung LN19A650 is when you look at it next to the LN22A650. The three extra inches of screen make a BIG difference. Both have GREAT pictures . I hope to exchange my 19 for a 22 inch!
Excellent Set, but don't buy it for the TOC 2008-08-16
I bought this set for use in my kitchen. We receive both digital and analog stations from our local cable company. The digital picture from this Samsung set is simply superb and the analog picture is very good. Setup was easy although the owners manual could have been better written. The controls that run up the side of the set are very hard to see, to the point of almost being invisible; but, as I will be using the remote control for set operation, this is not a problem.
If you are buying this set because of the Touch Of Color option, you may wish to think twice. The dark red blends into the black of the set and is difficult to see at best. The price at Amazon was reduced enough so that the extra charge that goes with TOC was negated. I didn't buy it for the TOC anyway.
I used the Free Super Saver Shipping option with Amazon and the set was at my house in 2 days from date of purchase - WOW.
Overall, I am very happy with this Samsung. I would have given it 4 & 1/2 stars if possible, only because of the poorly visible TOC and controls on the side of the set. Performance in all other respects has exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an excellent smaller set this is the one.
Good Gift 2008-08-13
I purchased this tv for my partner. It replaced an old color crt tv. He has it in a small bed room and its a good size for the space. It is a beautiful product. The touch of red is barely visible except in bright light, and actually my partner would have preferred it to be more red. It was very easy to set up. The colors are very good. Every few days he tells me how much he enjoys this tv.
