 Good TV November 18, 2008
TV works well, sound good and has a viewable picture from different angles. Would purchase another one.
Satisfactory for what I needed November 16, 2008
We had a 13" tv/vcr combo that we used in a small motor home. As we now have mostly DVDs, we were looking for a replacement that we could also used on our srceen porch. Our size limitation was the space in the RV available for TV. This really left only 19' or smaller. After a lot of looking we decided on the Samsung 19". We have been satisfied with it both in the RV and on the porch. I would have preferred something larger for the porch, but it is acceptable. The picture and color are excellent. As some reviewers have said, the tuner is a bit slow to react to on/off and change of channels. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with it. AS we all are more used to larger screens and more powerful technoligy, the Samsung should only be compared to similar models. 720p is not 1080p. The TV has a very complete set of connections. My only complaint has been the audio volume via the companion Samsung DVD player we purchased with it. That has been less than best. This led me to have several conversations with Samsung support. I would give it a 3-4 out of 5. Each support representive supports only one product type; i.e., TV is one and DVD player is a second. The two do not meet. One gave me some suggestions; one transferred me and I was hung up on; and the last one suggested I reset the DVD player. Enough about the DVD plyer. The TV has done what we wanted.
Purty Picutre, Great Value! November 16, 2008

Having moved across country temporarily to find the furnished apartment furnished with an ancient tiny TV, I set myself the task of finding an affordable interim replacement. My "real" TV is a larger sized LCD Samsung and I have been very happy with it for the last two years, so I was not hesitant to get another Samsung, especially with the good reviews of this model. I was not disappointed! This TV has a beautiful picture. It is crisp, clear, responsive (for video games), and has great color.
The sound, oddly enough, is much better than my bigger Samsung. Perhaps Samsung has inconsistent speaker quality? I noticed some other reviewers complaining about the speakers, but I really find the sound quality to be quite clear and rich for such a small TV. Makes me think if I were to buy another and got crappy sound, I'd either return the TV or have Samsung fix it.
I've noticed that the menu options and firmware, while closely resembling those of my older TV, are in fact much improved. The channel selection is more intelligent, and my favorite thing is the picture resizing options. They are far more flexible. On my old TV, they are frustrating and I always seem to have black bars in one direction or another. This TV will cycle through any option you could want at the touch of a button. Wish I could upgrade my old TV's firmware, sigh. But on this tv, you can! There's an option to upgrade from USB in the future in case there are more improvements to the firmware. Joy to a geek like me, I suppose.
The plan was to sell this TV when I move back home, but I am sorely tempted to keep it for use in my kitchen, I like it so much.
Oh, and there was no sticker on the screen, so I guess that's no longer an issue? I like the glossy frame, and while it does reflect a bit of light, the screen itself is so vivid and engaging, even for its small size, that I don't notice any glare at all while I'm watching the TV. Also, even though this set is small, the clear picture makes it more visible than you'd think, though I do miss my big screen!
In short, if this is the size you need, then this is a great TV, especially for the price!
Crystal clear quality at a great price. November 11, 2008
This is as good a buy on a TV as you will find anywhere. It has the same crystal clear picture that Samsung big screens are known for, and the size is perfect for my office. The sleek design made it easy for me to hang it on the wall just four feet from where I sit at my computer station in the corner, allowing for a little extra desk space (my designs are neat; my desk is not).
The sound is more than adequate for a set this size, but there are complete AV and Component inputs on the back (plus PC In), so you can create a robust system if that's what you want.
I'm not a big fan of the glossy black finish on the frame, but it's not bad and the transparent lip on the bottom is a nice touch. All in all, you really have to love it, and at this price you can't go wrong.
Good little TV for Kitchen or Bath November 9, 2008
No complaints, works as expected. Audio is sufficient for our needs. We opted for white to match wall for flush mount.
