I have to enter a caveat for my review upfront--we're a minimal technology family tv-wise--we just watch VHS and DVD. We had to upgrade from a 13-inch picture-tube tv from the early 90s, though!! This tv fit the bill. We're really happy with the crisp picture, the sound, and the size of the screen vs. how much room it takes up--a lot of picture for a little footprint. We have a bigger screen Sony elsewhere in the house, and the kids seem to prefer this one. A terrific buy from Amazon!

We have been using this TV in my daughter's room for over a year now without any problems at all. We got my 3 year-old this TV because we didn't want the worry of her potentially pulling her former, heavy 19" tube-television onto herself. Aside from the fact that this TV is light weight and thus very portable (and non-life threatening :), it is very easy to use as she turns it on/off by herself.

The only criticism is that there are no actual buttons, in the traditional sense, on the TV itself. There are the symbols for Power, Volume, Ch., etc. and when you touch the symbols, they perform the function. Easy enough to do but they should be back-lit. Without the lights on, it's very hard to find any function except for the on/off button which is the first one from the bottom up.

After months of my daughter mixing the remote with her toys, my wife and I have developed the motor skills to just "know" where to touch the TV now to perform whatever function we happen to need. But it was a bit of a nuissance in the beginning.

We currently have it connected to our Comcast cable box and a DVD player. The cable is non-HD and connected via a coaxial cable and the image looks great, not grainy or pixelated. The DVD player is non-high def. but connected with the 5 component cables as if it were high def. and the image quality is very sharp.

I uploaded pictures of the buttons and screen images of cable and DVD.

Ideal for DORM as computer monitor & TV save space with Excellent picture and best surround sound built in such a small size so I replaced 32" VIZIO in Living room to 32 Samsung like this one and same great picture on HDMI and I use to use external JVC surround Sound system because Vizio wasn't powerful enough which is not needed with Samsung!
Thanks for checking reviews smart buyers.

Great tv for the price. No need to buy a mount as the tv's platform swivels for easy wall mounting. Great tv for a bedroom.

This TV is a great product and was a great price. Great picture and sound. I would highly recommend this for a bedroom. So easy to hookup. This was our first Slim design, LCD television. Quality of product is great.
