Would purchase another one. TV works well, sound good and has a viewable picture from different angles.
Our size limitation was the space in the RV available for TV. As some reviewers have said, the tuner is a bit slow to react to on/off and change of channels. The TV has done what we wanted. As we now have mostly DVDs, we were looking for a replacement that we could also used on our srceen porch. 720p is not 1080p. Enough about the DVD plyer.
I would give it a 3-4 out of 5. 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. My only complaint has been the audio volume via the companion Samsung DVD player we purchased with it. Each support representive supports only one product type; i.e., TV is one and DVD player is a second. The TV has a very complete set of connections. This led me to have several conversations with Samsung support.
The picture and color are excellent. We had a 13" tv/vcr combo that we used in a small motor home.
AS we all are more used to larger screens and more powerful technoligy, the Samsung should only be compared to similar models. After a lot of looking we decided on the Samsung 19".
This really left only 19' or smaller. That has been less than best.
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.
Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with it.
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. In short, if this is the size you need, then this is a great TV, especially for the price. Perhaps Samsung has inconsistent speaker quality. 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. The sound, oddly enough, is much better than my bigger Samsung. There's an option to upgrade from USB in the future in case there are more improvements to the firmware.
On my old TV, they are frustrating and I always seem to have black bars in one direction or another. 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 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. It is crisp, clear, responsive (for video games), and has great color. Makes me think if I were to buy another and got crappy sound, I'd either return the TV or have Samsung fix it. This TV will cycle through any option you could want at the touch of a button. I've noticed that the menu options and firmware, while closely resembling those of my older TV, are in fact much improved.
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. They are far more flexible. Wish I could upgrade my old TV's firmware, sigh. I was not disappointed. This TV has a beautiful picture. But on this tv, you can. The channel selection is more intelligent, and my favorite thing is the picture resizing options. 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.
It has the same crystal clear picture that Samsung big screens are known for, and the size is perfect for my office. All in all, you really have to love it, and at this price you can't go wrong. This is as good a buy on a TV as you will find anywhere. 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. 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.
We opted for white to match wall for flush mount. No complaints, works as expected. Audio is sufficient for our needs.
