 A bit more expected from this September 17, 2008

I'll preface by saying I'm not a serious A/V person, I'm not up to speed on the latest and greatest technology - just a layman. My old CRT TV died, and I needed a new one. Wanted LCD for the lower power consumption and since nearly all of them are HD ready I wanted that too. From what I read, Samsung has the best LCD panels out there. The image on this one is extremely good, though in my opinion I wouldn't say excellent. At times it seems to blur momentarily. Colors are well represented. The features of the TV are nice, not much more than you'd find with older CRT though. This unit is very light weight and easily mounted to a wall. It doesn't get hot when on, which is nice. The remote is weird in its layout of the buttons. I guess it's a subjective thing, but the channel and volume up/down buttons are at the bottom of the remote, not the top and that's really annoying to me. Good thing I was able to get a universal to use with my cable box and DVD player. While I would otherwise give it a five star rating I will have to agree with many others about my one real gripe. The sound. The speakers are buried UNDER the TV, and point down. I have mine in a small bedroom, I don't have delusions of using this TV for a home theater but for four hundred bucks they could have put some better speakers on this thing. While the speakers are loud enough, they just don't sound all that great most of the time.
 Pleasantly Surprised! September 15, 2008

I searched for months for a 26 inch HDTV that I thought would be compatible for my bedroom use. I was going to purchase the Sony 26" for $899.00, but when I saw this Samsung 22" for less than $500.00, I held my breath and ordered it. The reviews were very good as well. So I must tell you that I am "pleasantly surprised" with my purchase. The picture is awesome and the sound is not as bad as some have stated. I set it up in no time and it looks great (as pictured) in my bedroom.
A wonderful surprise! August 30, 2008

I must admit that I'm a plasma fanboy who in the past thumbed my nose at lcd tv's. Recently I had a direct lightning strike on my home that fried four tv's, a microwave and garage door opener. I replaced our media room tv with a newer updated 50" Panasonic plasma (TH-50PZ85U) which is fantastic...and for the downstairs livingroom and master bedroom I chose 32" LG Plasmas (very good but no match for the Panny) and then came the dilemma for the kids room and guest bedroom...can't justify large sets or too expensive so I decided to bite the bullet and go with 20"-26" lcd's. br / br /After deciding on this Samsung based on generally favorable reviews I ordered two (shipped lightning fast by Amazon/UPS) and imagine my surprise when I found that the picture quality/features were actually above and beyond what I was expecting! These sets are very thin and light..minimalist bezel and stand with attractive black gloss. The colors out of the box were a little off but with just a few minutes of tweaking I had the sets looking very good...and not just "good for an lcd". br / br /The only cons with this set are pretty minor...the remote feels kind of cheap and is not backlit..but is laid-out well and has buttons for every function. Also another con is the speaker quality...it isn't what I would call bad by any means but a little below average even compared to other lower cost flat screen tv's. br / br /Overall I am very satisfied with not only the tv's but also the great price/fast shipping from Amazon. I haven't converted to an lcd man yet, but I no longer fear them. Kudos Samsung!

We were looking for a TV for our new three season room. We looked for a white TV with high quality HD. A year ago, we bought a smaller white Samsung for our Kitchen / Dining room and love it. We have cable TV and these sets pick up the local channels in HD without a cable conversion box. This is a great set for our room.
