Great Small LCD TV
 
Review Date: December 8, 2008
Reviewer: Pied Piper, USA
For a 720p resolution, this great sounding, high contrast TV makes DVDs and HD DVDs look great. HD DVD is so sharp, either by player or by cable, you would think it's a 1080i TV.

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description If you're just entering the HD arena and don't want to break the bank on your first flat-screen television, the entry-level 26-inch Samsung LNS2641D LCD TV is a great fit for your budget and it offers many of the same video processing features as its higher end 51- and 52-Series siblings. It features an integrated HDTV tuner, 10-bit video processor, and a 3000:1 contrast ratio for smooth, vibrant pictures. It also includes dual HDMI inputs for simultaneous signal transfer of audio and video from digital devices and PC connectivity. The dual purpose pedestal stand can also be used as an articulating wall mount when it’s folded back. Additionally, the stand can be removed for wall-mounting via optional VESA compatible hardware (such as Samsung wall mounting kit WMTL2600).

Samsung's DNIe™
Samsung's DNIe™ (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail.

Motion Optimizer: The visual data are automatically broken down into signal and noise and adjusted through a combined spatial/temporal process to eliminate noise and blurring without the slightest damage to the original signal. This guarantees the viewer a picture of astounding sharpness, whether the scene is still or moving.

Contrast Enhancer: DNIe has done away with the unwanted side-effects that conventional contrast enhancement can produce, such as noise boost-up and flicker by developing an algorithm that recognizes over 1 million criteria for applying contrast. Its detail contrast enhancement technology can automatically analyze up to 70,000 local images within a frame, treating the viewer to a picture rich in contrast even in the tiniest details.

Color optimizer: For each scene the color optimizer calculates the saturation of red, green, and blue in the input signal and adjusts it to the shades that the human eye accepts as natural. Even a conventional process like white tone enhancement produces more striking results when when used with DNIe. The end result is a palette of vivid hues and pure white tones to satisfy the most discerning viewers eye.

Detail enhancer: Many viewers complain of the unnatural effect that conventional uniform detail enhancement produces by relying on artificial amplification of the input signal. In contrast, DNIe automatically analyzes the portion to be amplified, detecting and re-processing any noise or defect to bring the viewer a startlingly sharp and lifelike image.
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.


Get a great view from anywhere in the room with this TVs great verticle and horizontal 170-degree viewing angle.
The LNS2641D features a stunning 3000:1 contrast ratio, 500 cd/m2 brightness rating (for brighter whites, deeper blacks, and every shade in between), a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution (for a widescreen 16:9 screen aspect ratio), 170-degree viewing angle, and a super-fast 8ms (millisecond) response time, which minimizes blurring of moving images and is especially helpful for sports and action movies. Other convenience features include:
  • Picture-in-picture (PIP) enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources.
  • Built-in image scaler to handle inputs from a variety of digital and analog audio/video sources.
  • Parental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits.
  • Auto volume leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.
  • Multi-lingual on-screen displays in English, Spanish or French.

High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the sides of the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. It produces 5 watts of power per channel (for 10 watts total) and offers the following connection options:

  • Composite (RCA audio/video): 2 inputs (1 on the side)
  • S-Video: 2 inputs (1 on the side)
  • Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 1 input
  • HDMI: 2 inputs
  • PC: 1 D-Sub15 input
  • RF: 2 inputs
  • Sound monitor output: 1
  • Digital optical audio ouput: 1
  • Headphone: 1
  • RS232 port: 1

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

TruSurround XT audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

  • Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
  • TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
  • The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Great for entry level: a technical review
 
Review Date: August 1, 2006
Reviewer: Matt A. Kurkowski, Peabody, MA USA
This review is intended to be a little technical, so if you want an easy description of this TV, this would be it: it's a great TV with features most entry level LCD buyers are looking for: great contrast, decent response time, good color reproduction and an extensive jack panel including a FANTASTIC VGA PC connection.

Here's the technical break-down of what I think makes this TV great:
1.) It's an PVA (Patterned Vertical Alignment) LCD panel. PVAs and S-PVAs (not usually available in this size) are my favorite over the other two common LCD panels: TFT (Thin Film Transitors) and IPS (In-Plane Switching). TFTs (used most commonly by Sharp) boast excellent response/lag time (usually around 6ms); however, they suffer from the worst color reproduction and artifacting problems. IPS panels (most commonly used by Panasonic) can be thought of as the older predecessor to PVA panels. While they boast excellent color reproduction and moderate contrast, they generally have the longest response/lag times (usually in the range of 12ms). PVA panels (used by Samsung and Sony) offer the best of both worlds with excellent color reproduction (keep in mind, color reproduction also depends on the set's lamp), the best in contrast, decent response times (usually around 8ms) and excellent viewing angles (up to 178* on S-PVA panels).

2.) It's made by Samsung. Samsung and Sharp have long been the leaders in LCD panel technology, investing large amounts of money into LCD R&D. Samsung can take a lot of the credit for the dip in prices of larger LCD screens with the construction of their generation seven LCD plant (the generation number of a plant refers to the size of the glass panels they are able to cut to use in TVs). Samsung built the plant and Sony rents/shares part of it. SAMSUNG DOES NOT MANUFACTURE SONY'S LCDs. This is a common misconception. Samsung owns the plant in which Sony does its glass cutting, but the panels are independently manufactured by each company.

3.) The PC connection is great. Many LCDs come with a VGA connector to attach a PC and use the TV as a monitor (recently, Sharp has been removing this feature from a lot of its TVs). What makes this PC connection great is that it will accept a full screen signal from a compatible video card, up to 1330 by 768 if my memory serves me correct. Many LCD TVs will only accept a 640 x 480 or 600 x 800 PC input.

4.) The matte black bezel. You might think this is purely a cosmetic perk, but it has serious implications! The whole reason that TV cabinets were originally black after the console era was because black draws the eye out, to make the screen appear larger and more vibrant. The 51 series that Samsung offers does boast higher qualitative statistics such as a wider color gamut and higher contrast ratio; however, I still like the 41 series better because the high gloss finish on the bezel of the 51 series is extremely distracting. Sharp started this trend last model year by offering glamourous "piano black" on their TVs, but think of this: a piano is beautiful because it has a high-gloss, COMPLETELY FLAT finish. The high-gloss finish on these TVs accentuates all the bumps and fluctuations in the plastic of the TV. It merely looks like high gloss plastic (that is far from completely smooth) instead of the glamoursly intended piano finish. LCDs are great for brightly lit areas because they absorb, not reflect, light like plasma TVs do. This high gloss finish makes a bigger difference than you might think.

5.) The remote is ergonomically comfortable. Anyone who has a Sony TV will tell you they're remote is confortable and easy to operate and anyone that owns anything JVC will tell you there are more words on the remote than in the manual. Samsung has developed a remote control layout this year that the company has used across the board on almost all their TVs. It's a perfect balance of functionality and ergonomics. And it looks great too...

6.) It's light. And it's lighter than most LCDs in this size, especially over Panasonic. Sony had issues with weight last year which that have since mildly addressed, but just compare the weight of this item to that of Panasonic's models as well as the depth. The Samsung is slim and light, making it easy to mount on the wall without fear of it pulling the wall in.


And in closing, I wanted to address a previous review posted here: YOU DO NOT NEED AN AV SWITCH TO OPERATE THIS TV. Your connection set depends completely on what you are hooking the TV up to. In the case of Time Warner Cable, they use a box to descramble some channels, so a box is necessary. In most markets, a box is necessary from your cable or satellite provider to provide HDTV (this TV is an integrated HDTV, meaning it will receive high def broadcasts over the air if they are available in your market, but just like an old antenna, you have to be able to receive those signals; things, such as buildings, will interfere). Usually you will hook your box up to the TV via component cables or a single HDMI cable, depending on your cable or satellite provider. Hooking any TV up to standard cable with an RF cable IS ONLY GOING TO GIVE YOU STANDARD TV, unless your cable company provides un-encrypted digital cable. This is EXTREMELY rare because a box allows the cable company to encrypt pay stations. Unencrypted digital cable systems are usually only available in mass-purchase markets, such as on college campuses. Be sure you understand your connect scheme and HD availability before you purchase a TV or explain your setup to a store salesperson. Any QUALIFIED salesperson should be able to tell you what is right for you.

(BTW, I often get people asking me if I work for any specific company--I do not work for an electronics company; I'm still in college. I sell electronics at my summer/part-time job, but I sell lots of different brands and items, not just Samsung or any other brand.)
Great HDTV
 
Review Date: June 25, 2006
Reviewer: C. Gray, Rochester, NY USA
We just got this cd a week ago and so far we love it. It has all the connections that you need. As always if you want the best picture use the best connection, in this case the HDMI. Our cable box works flawlessly with this tv using an DVI to HDMI connector, which sends a pure digital singnal to the TV.

The picture is great. The colors are vibrant and have excellent contrast. This display is bright! Because our bedroom is dark and the tv is relatively close to our viewing area it almost hurt our eyes, we turned on the energy save to low level which decreases brightness and the display is still brighter then others I've seen. That means this TV should function well in well lit rooms as well.

If I had any compliants is that the sound quality and output level is not very high. In our case this isn't a problem because we have it hooked up to a mini-hove theatre system.
Great TV for the price
 
Review Date: November 22, 2006
Reviewer: Bing Ng, Brooklyn, NY United States
I bought this baby a little over a month ago and it has yet to fail my any of my expectations. For just ~$800, I got a decent sized HDTV that just brings woas to my friends when they see it in my room. Its picture quality is great and when I hook it up to my laptop, it is exceptional. I use it occasionally as a monitor and it is crystal clear. (I just might never get off my bed.) When I watch DVDS on this TV, it is amazing and feels as if things could not get any clearer. I can't wait till the day every channel is HD. :D

The sound quality on the set isnt as bad as everyone said it was. It is very decent but I am thinking of adding a surround system just for my own personal preference. The TV itself is very sleek and very enjoyable to watch. It is very light and I can pick it up and move it around by myself.

One con I have about the system is the remote control. The buttons are located in the weirdest spots and it takes getting used to. It is really annoying to press the enter button all the way towards the bottom middle of the remote. And where the enter button usually is, there is a jump button that takes u back to the previous channel you were on.

There is also a couple seconds lag to turn on the TV and that bothers me a lot.

But for the price of the Tv, I am very glad I got it and am a proud owner of this set.
Great Unit
 
Review Date: October 14, 2006
Reviewer: Mark, Tucson, AZ
Received this unit and had it set up and operating in 20 minutes. Great picture with standard signal from Direct TV. Can't wait to see HDTV. This is the best name brand unit at 26" that I could find for less than $900. At $799 and free shipping it is the best deal around. As a prime customer, 1 day shipping cost a whopping $3. Paid for itself in one transaction.

Samsung LN32A450 32-inch LCD HDTV 720p HDTV is great!
Author: Mr.sum
• Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

I purchased this HDTV 3 weeks and so far I have not been disappointed. Before this TV, I had a period of fifteen years, Toshiba has begun to emerge. A few months ago, I started to look around different Samsung (I knew I wanted a Samsung because of its reputation for high-definition TV) are some that I saw, but did not was especially pleased with the price. Finally, a few months after my old TV started flickering, I began to see the new HD-TV. I found this set at Best Buy 899. A few days later, I saw at Circuit City 799. After a few minutes of thinking, I ordered online and did it. I have DirecTV (no HD, so far) and I also bought a HD DVD Converter (also Samsung). Although regular TV is not perfect, but it seems very good. DVD Converter is also very good. Very satisfied with the TV and can not wait for more HD programming. After much research, settled on this LCD TV. I was not disappointed! The table attached to my coax from my satellite service and the best picture has emerged. The colors are spectacular and the sound is clear and strong. The black box with the speakers on a solid foundation for research on television. All the other comments to cover virtually all other “benefits” of television and I agree with them 100%. I wanted to talk about their games. I knew before buying a new TV that me and my room is to use a lot of games for Xbox 360. I tried a few others, with a response time of 8 ms and is simply not fast enough. When I decided I need something with 6ms or better, I guess it must spend more. And I found this TV. We play a wide variety of games and see everything and streams. Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 racing games, sports games, including GTA IV fate. In my experience, there is no delay for the driver of the screen and could not be happier. Add them to enjoy. you can reviews product at http://www. tvreviewsonline. com/compare-hdtvs/compare-samsung-ln32a450/

samsung 52 1080p lcd hdtv
Author: Mr.sum
• Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

This samsung 52 1080p lcd hdtv Television also has many extras including hookups for your digital camera, MP3 players to allow you to listen to your favorite music or even view your family photos on your new High Definition TV. The Samsung LN40A550 also offers great sound quality with SRS TruSurround XT give you great high definition sound in a crystal clear quality. The clairity and picture of this television is unrivaled by few. It has great response time with the new 5-Millsecond pixel response time which really makes this television a treat to watch. The 5-Millsecond response time is really one of the fastest on the market and will amaze you when watching high speed action as this television keeps up with every move on the screen. In conclusion the Samsung LN40A550 1080p LCD HDTV is one of the top televisions on the market for its size and capabilities. This high definition television comes highly recommended from me and other top product reviewers. If you want more info on this and other high definition products then check out our websites below. We also offer great price comparisons from many different shopping outlets on the internet. When looking for a 52-inch LCD 1080p HD-ready television, the choice comes down to two: Samsung’s 650 and 750. While both are exceptional HDTV sets. The 650 offers some features for the space-limited consumer. Measuring in at 50. 2 inches wide, the 650 accommodates tight spaces (whereas the 750 measures 52 inches wide). Also, the 650 has a swivel base which makes it easier to connect cables in the back and for viewing in a tight, enclosed cabinet space. As far as the picture is concerned, the clarity and color of the 650 is exceptional. The blacks are true and the reds and greens crisp. This is a TV that offers a cinematic viewing pleasure with every movie, sporting event, or show you want to watch. Reflectivity is often a concern for consumers. If your television is going to be placed in a room with direct sunlight or any form of bright lighting, you want to make sure that your TV doesn’t reflect that light back, otherwise it will be difficult to view during the hours in which that sunlight is directly on it. The LN52A650 conquers light reflectivity exceptionally well. When off, the screen reflects about 20 percent of the light that a standard glass-front set would and when on, that number is less than 5 percent. This means you get wonderful viewing pleasure at any time, day or night. When you watch HD cable channels, you will be amazed at the clarity and color of the picture. You’ll soon want every one of your TVs to match Samsung’s incredible quality.
