Product Description

 Simply amazed! April 29, 2009

This is my first LCD tv. I spent a lot of time looking at them in stores, reading reviews & finally decided that Samsung would provide me the best value for my money. I purchased this 26" for my bedroom & it's the perfect size. I was a little nervous setting it up but it was so simple. From attaching the stand, hooking it up & setting up the menu options. The picture is amazing! The colors are wonderful, the blacks are not washed out at all but appear rich & dark. There are a number of setting options to achieve the perfect picture for you, including adjusting the backlight. The sound is good, for a bedroom tv I'm not looking for a movie theater experience & quite frankly, I wouldn't expect tv speakers to ever give me that. I would expect to buy separate speakers. The sound is just as good, if not better, then any past tv I have owned. I have a computer desk off to the side & often glance over at the tv and can view the screen just fine from side angles. There's also a sleep timer for turning both off & on. I've watched everything from movies to sports to regular shows. Also, for anyone nervous about getting this tv without HD, it's looks incredible even without the HD! There are tons of connections on this model too, including 3 HDMI (2 in the back & one on the side). There is a PC connection too but I haven't tried that or the game mode. I can't find a single negative thing to say & as a plus, the tv itself has a very classy sharp appearance. Very, very happy!

I just bought this TV for my bedroom. It is the perfect TV for that. It isn't too big that it overpowers the room, and isn't too small either. I know some people complain about the audio. I think it sounds just fine. I wouldn't have even thought about it. Like I said, it is in my bedroom and not meant to be a home theater TV. If you were looking for a home theater TV, get something bigger, and get external sound.
I have FIOS HD TV hooked up and an upconverting DVD player via HDMI ports. The picture looks great right out of the box. I set it to "movie" setting since I leave the room darker. The "dynamic" setting is too bright, but might be ok in a very bright room. The "standard" picture is fine. I highly recommend this TV if you are using the HDMI inputs. The picture leaves something to be desired if you are using the coax input or RCA inputs. Quite honestly, stick to a good old fashioned CRT if you are using analogue connections.
I compared this TV to several others, I couldn't tell the difference in picture quality between it and ones priced up to $300 more. I don't think 1080P is worth the extra money for a 26" TV. Watching fast action like a hockey game, there can be some motion issues, but since it is only a 60 Hz TV, that is expected. The 120 Hz would show a slight improvement, but it isn't bad enough of a distraction to bother me. A lot of people wouldn't even notice, but some would. Again, it is minor.
I'm very happy with the picture quality in general, as long as it is a digital input, and especially high def. The colors are accurate and the blacks are nice and dark. Dark scenes do not get blurred together, you can see the difference in black levels easily.
If you are looking to spend less than $500 or even $600 for a TV, and you are using digital connections, this is the TV for you.
By the way, Best Buy sells this for $400. Not sure why everyone else has it for more.

Bought this to replace a Toshiba 26AV502U I bought just 6 months ago. This is a much much nicer set. The Toshiba had a very uneven backlight & horrible blacks. The Samsung is much better on both fronts. While it can't match my CRT Projector or CRT tube set as far as blacks go, it's pretty good for a LCD set, especially one that's CCFL lit. Picture quality is excellent, don't pay extra for 1080P on a TV this size! Has no problems with an HDMI signal over a 35' cable. Sound quality is mediocre as other reviewers have pointed out, but I wasn't expecting more.

I don't have any complaints but I've only had it for a week. I purchased this TV for my bedroom and it's the perfect size. Big enough for viewing but small enough not to take over the room. Since I don't have cable in my bedroom I only use it to watch DVD movies. It has a convenient button (P.Size) that adjusts a widescreen movie so that it fills up the whole TV screen without the black bars on top and bottom. The sound is just fine for a smaller room. I used different features in the Menu to adjust the picture and sound.
I also recently purchased a Samsung LN32B360 for my living room and I don't notice much of a difference. The only thing I prefer about my 32" is that you can twist the screen on its stand to adjust the view angles. You can't tilt or twist this 26".
Also, if you are concerned about the red coloring along the bottom of the screen, I don't even notice it anymore. I was concerned about buying the TV because I don't like red and it doesn't go with my bedroom colors but it isn't a problem.

I really love this Tv, the service was great delivered in three days.
The picture is excellent. if you have trouble with sound which you will especially using an antenna get Stereo speakers sounds great. seems like your sound can be bad because the carrier signal maybe low. but this is only if your using an antenna. I live fourty eight miles from the transmitters. our antenna has an amplifier on it but it is old twenty three years so were buying a new one this month.
Anyways this tv is just great you can adjust the picture size to suit what dvd your watching. you can plug your computer or camera into it.
But the picture is wow!!!! vivid and this is only a 720p. The size is right for our home. I am really happy with it!!!! I also read that samsungs are one of the better tv's. So buy with confidence!!!!
