Product Description
The Samsung Neo Side-Sound 30" widescreen (16: 9 aspect ratio) HDTV Monitor is ideal for DVDs and HDTV broadcasts. Progressive scan DVD players improve the picture by eliminating interline flicker. The TXN3075WHF is among only a few mid-size TVs that can properly display progressive scan. Digitally processing the signal and presenting all analog sources in the better progressive scan improves even analog TV. With 3: 2 Pull Down film to video transfer flaws are corrected, virtually eliminating blurring and stuttering. A full compliment of connections, 2 auto sensing wideband component inputs, and 30 watts of sound are among a few of the benefits found on the TXN3075WHF. The 30" wide DynaFlat anti-distortion, antiglare flat picture tube produces images that are rock solid, bright, and makes text more legible. The Samsung Neo Side-Sound design is clean, rich looking, and affordable.
Amazon.com Product Description
Big pictures no longer have to rest on big footprints, a fact exemplified by the 30-inch DynaFlat HD TXN3075. And the television is not only space-efficient, but well made: Samsung's proprietary DynaFlat technology provides a perfectly flat viewing image that has none of the curvature, image distortion, or glare associated with traditional screens.p Pro Chip NTSC-to-progressive-scan conversion improves typical (interlaced) TV viewing by combining odd and even scan lines, presenting flicker-free images, much like those found on today's better computer monitors. The picture becomes crisp from edge-to-edge, due in part to a 3D Y/C comb filter and velocity-scan modulation circuitry, which also maintains corner focus. If you want to watch Hollywood films at home on DVD, 3:2 pulldown is indispensable. The difference between film and video frame speeds causes slight blurring, stuttering, and other motion artifacts, especially during fast-action sequences. 3:2 pulldown corrects these anomalies so you can experience a smooth picture much closer to that of the original film.p In Samsung's DynaFlat HDTVs, the overall resolution is higher than earlier-generation sets because the individual phosphor color spots (pixels) are smaller and closer together. Its multiple-focus electron gun is capable of illuminating finer spots to achieve a much more detailed picture. p A DVD presented in progressive scan and/or HDTV content can be connected through either of two sets of auto-sensing wideband component-video inputs, and three rear-panel audio/video inputs (one with S-video) and a set of side AV inputs are also available. A pair of two-way, side-firing speakers with 15 watts per channel rounds out the set.

 A Stinker, Pure and Simple. June 16, 2004

This is my first review on Amazon, although I have been referring to them for years. After going through the pains of purchasing, then returning this television, this is my act of altruism towards you, my anonymous friend. Does it really deserve only one star? No, that was just to get your attention. So then... this TV did have a few pros:br1. Clean design, especially the front.br2. It makes a cool Mario Brothers sound effect when you turn it off or on.br3. When a progressive-scan DVD player is hooked up to it with component cables, the picture is dyn-o-mite.br4. That's about it.brNow for the cons:br1. You may have seen references to the 'purple line' on the screen... it is true, especially when viewing movies in a darkened room. You can't ignore it... it's about 3-4 wide, it migrates, sometimes there are even two of them. Reason enough to return it right there.br2. 4:3 viewing mode. A lot of options to choose from, and they all suck.br3. X-Box compatability. I'm not a very technically-savvy guy, but I can hook things up... I never was able to get a satisfactory image, even with the X-Box High-Definition pack.brI nearly ruptured myself getting this thing back to Circuit City, where I exchanged it for the infinitely superior Sony 30 FD Trinitron WEGA HDTV Monitor (Brand/Model: SON KV30HS420). To paraphrase Ferris Bueller, it's so choice, I highly recommended it. And it was exactly the same price! Now, I implore you - go forth armed with this knowledge and the world will be your oyster.brYour fellow consumer,brKenneth Talmadge Stacks

I'm not sure if anyone responded to Martin Crull's comments about this set having a blurry picture from a progressive scan DVD player. He wrote he hoped he wasn't doing anything wrong. Well it seems he was. He wrote that he used composite video cables. Wrong. Use good quality COMPONENT video cables from the component (or progressive) DVD output to the TV's component input. Make sure the DVD player is set to progressive output, AND for a 16x9 set. With a few picture setting tweaks, you should have an exceptional picture.
BEWARE BUYING FROM AMAZON.COM December 15, 2003

I would be extremely careful buying a large screen TV from Amazon.com. They have a no return policy on TV's larger than 27 that I was not made aware of upon purchase of the product. I received the television and realized after I had signed for delivery that there was some cosmetic damage to the TV's cabinet. I contacted Amazon.com the next day (which you can not do by phone; only e-mail) and was then alerted to this policy. They refused to provide me with a replacement TV.pThe customer service was less than impressive and I would recommend buying this product from Circuit City or some other company that will guarantee the product and provide reasonable customer service. If you insist on purchasing from Amazon.com, I recommend you inspect the set thoroughly before signing for delivery. This is important b/c it is your only chance to refuse the product and Amazon.com will not make you aware of this.pAll that said, it is a great HDTV monitor for the price point. It is a good anchor to a starter home theater setup. It displays progressive scan and HDTV signals very well. One thing to consider is that the set does not allow you to scale the aspect ratio for any of the HDTV inputs as many Sony sets do. This means that a full screen DVD will be stretched by the TV.pI would recommend this set for anyone looking to enter the world of HDTV at the sub $1000 price point. However, I would strongly urge you to consider buying from a electronics only dealer such as Best Buy, Circuit City, or Tweeter as Amazon.com can not match their level of customer service in this arena.
 Beware negative reviews--this is nice set. November 24, 2003

This is a great value--especially if purchased from Amazon at its low sale price. The picture is absolutely fabulous in HDTV mode. Even non-HDTV programs look better than the very nice (non-HDTV) Sony I had. I did not notice any deterioration in the corners as others have reported. Also, the aspect ratio is easy to change according to one's taste. The sound is better than most TVs that do not have built-in theater sound.
 I hope I am doing something wrong September 6, 2003

I wanted a wide screen monitor that I could use to watch DVD's. I hooked this monitor up to a progressive scan DVD player (the Toshiba, SD-43HT), using composite video cables I got from Radio Shack. The picture seems blurry in progressive scan mode (even with sharpness cranked up). I keep wanted to adjust the focus, just a tiny bit. I find myself switching off progressive mode to get a sharper image, even though it seems granier. I hope I am doing something wrong.
