Terrific Small LCD TV 2008-05-27
This 19" black Samsung TV is the perfect television set for a small bedroom. I read about it on the Amazon site and the reviewers were very honest. The set has all the new requirements (I was replacing a very old "rabbit-ears" set) and state of the art design. I have it on s shelf, but it has everything included for mounting on a wall. It is packaged easily to set-up. It started up with no problems, after using the simple directions included. The color quality is amazing for such an inexpensive TV.
Great Picture Quality, So-So Sound 2008-05-23
I had originally purchased a Philips 19PFL3403D/27 19-inch LCD HDTV but sent it back to buy this Samsung. The picture quality on the Samsung is FAR superior and the little extras like an included mounting bracket make it well worth it. The white is sleek like a Mac and looks great in my kitchen. The Sound quality leaves a little to be desired and could possible drop my rating to 4 stars, but the reality is that I think this is one of the best 19" TV's out there so I'll give it 5 stars. The menus and setup features on the Samsung are very intuitive and easy to navigate.
Great TV for the $$ 2008-05-20
This TV is a great product for the $$. We got one for our nursery and are seriously considering one for the master bath and guest rooms as well. Can't go wrong with a Samsung TV.
Excellent space saving LCD TV 2008-05-15
Well-thought out LCD TV, with good details. Nicer styling (to my taste) than the very similar 350 series and with sturdier control buttons on the side--'tho not an issue because a remote is included. The TV includes HD circuitry, so if a station like CBS or ABC is broadcasting in HD, you'll see it in HD without having to do anything special. Good sound (better than some other TVs I auditioned where the sound was soft/recessed) and high-contrast picture (also better than some other 19" TVs I looked at). Only complaint is the power cord doesn't plug into the back of the TV tightly enough and can come loose easily. Easy set up: you can connect a cable, VCR and DVD player simultaneously (I haven't tried the DVD connection yet but it looks like there are enough inputs) so you don't need adapters, etc. Some other 19-inch TVs are less expensive but for convenience, style, sound/picture quality and value I really don't think you can beat this.
Too Dark 
2008-06-30
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.
Very good 2008-06-28
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.
Great for college 2008-06-24
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.
Loving my new Samsung 2008-06-04
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.
Perfect performer for the kitchen 2008-06-03
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!
