I have the 22 inch version of this model line (Samsung LN-22A330) for my bedroom, and am VERY impressed. The picture quality is fantastic, and it has settings where you can fine tune the settings for individual channels.

I have it on every morning for the news while I'm getting ready for work, and every night as I wind down and fall asleep (very appreciative of the person who first installed sleep timers on TVs).

I like everything about this unit, including the "tools" function on the remote for the most-used items in my house (including the sleep functions). There are "fun" settings, too...where you can choose not only your energy savings level, but also what type of image you're watching...a "movie" versus reg tv....it deepens the color beautifully without actually changing the colors.

The only item I find disconcerting is the sheer amount of time it takes to respond to turning the unit 'on'. Once you hit Power, just ignore it and ...................................................THEN you'll hear the tones turning it on (tones may be set at different volumes and even turned off if you poke around in the menu long enough to find it).

Given time, I'll certainly get used to the amount of time it is, but for now it's bothersome as there is no other indicator that you actually hit the button correctly (the light on the power button on the tv doesn't flash at first, nothing).

If I needed to replace this 22" unit for some reason, I'd buy the same model again in a heartbeat. Very pleased with Samsung's 330 line. Excellent value for the price for a bedroom tv.

I gave it 4 stars only because something has to be absolutely spectacular for me to give it 5 stars. Pretty much anything good that has been said about the set is true. I do have to take exception with the comments that it takes a long time to turn on. I took a stopwatch to it with the following results. From the time I pressed the power button it took 2.5 seconds for the "welcome tune" and about 9 seconds to deliver a picture. I expect that most people can live with that. I have two Sony Bravia sets that take about the same amount of time to start up. Overall, it's a very good set and a solid value.

I bought this product after reading the prior reviews. We bought this for a large bedroom and it is a great match for the room, great picture and excellent sound quality. This arrived two days after ordering via UPS even with the savings shipping. I would buy again.

This TV has exceeded expectations. Having read many previous reviews criticizing the sound quality and/or volume, I was apprehensive but finally decided to try it out. So glad I did! It's only been hooked up for a few hours, but I'm thoroughly pleased (and I'm watching/listening from nearly 20' away! And the volume isn't even 1/4 of capacity. (As far as being 20' away, that's *not* my usual TV-watching distance, but right now I'm in the dining room and looking into the living room where the TV is positioned to face me, and I'm impressed.) There are a couple of things I'd tweak on the remote, including adding backlighting, but really this is not a complaint.

t.v works great. lots of plug ins for audio and video, hmdi input and laptop input are a plus.
