This is a very good budget LCD TV for use in a kitchen, dorm room, small bedroom. 720p resolution is perfectly fine for a TV in this size (19"). The colors and picture look great with a bit of calibration (I found the default settings to be a bit too bright). There were enough A/V connections for me, although the audio from the built-in speakers is only adequate at best (but what else can one expect from a built-in audio system?). There are other models, both from Samsung and others, with more bells and whistles, but if you're looking for a good basic small LCD TV, this one is definitely worth considering.

I recently got this little HDTV on sale at Target for about the same price as amazon is offering it right now. It is a little more expensive than some of the other brands in this size, but well worth it.

It is solidly made and doesn't feel flimsy, like some of the cheaper 19" TVs I looked at did. The display is bright and crisp and in side by side comparisons, blew the competition away. The shiny black finish is very attractive also.

I primarily use this as a computer monitor and gaming TV. It makes my PS3 games look fantastic! Virtually no setup; plug and play. The display looks great right out of the box with minimal tinkering.

Overall, I have been very pleased with this HDTV.

I think this TV was a great buy for my bedroom. I do not see the halo that someone described. I also can go into the menu and bring up the sleep timer using my remote and I don't find that difficult at all. I was not aware about the base being able to mount to the wall and so that was a nice "Freebee!" The base mounted very nicely to the enclosed brackets and so I have a TV that can be used in the bedroom and I can carry to another room if necessary very easily.

As for the picture and sound. Both are just fine and I had no problem navigating the settings putting the picture size, sound equilizer and quality to my preferences. The TV auto programed very nicely and there were no channels that I needed to adjust. I do have cable FYI. I have two other LCD's also and I have no problems with this TV. Good Luck!

I bought this TV so my wife could watch her favorite shows while working in the kitchen. I have it connected to a 22 year old roof antenna. It has an awsome picture and the sound is great. We have not encountered any problems at all with this TV. I bought the white model and it looks very good on the kitchen counter. I would recommend this make & model to anyone.

I purchased the Samsung after my Sony Wega 19" LCD's video display computer board went bad. The Samsung got such good reviews, and there really isn't a lot to choose from in a 19" LCD that was under 16" tall (to fit under my kitchen cabinets), so I chose the Samsung. I like everything about it pretty much except for the audio sound. The speakers are coming from the back of the TV and it sounds very tinny and echo-y. I'm so used to the phenomenal sound of the Sony Wega (which they do not make anymore) that I'm having a hard time getting used to the lower quality audio of the Samsung. I didn't go with the Sony Bravia 19" because of the little stand that is used to prop up the TV and the reviews were low because of that. I'm seriously considering, though, rethinking the Sony Bravia. It's far more expensive, another $80-$100, but I was well-compensated from the extended warranty that I purchased with the original Sony, that the price really isn't a factor. The Sony Wega was a perfect specimen of what a small LCD TV should be...too bad Sony discontinued it.
