8ms Response
One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 8ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

Wide Color Enhancer 2
Whereas blue and green shaded areas of the picture are washed out on conventional screens, wide color enhancer lets you experience more brilliant colors. Simply imagine a wider range of color than you ever thought possible.

ENERGY STAR Compliant
By being ENERGY STAR compliant you are assured that your SAMSUNG model is helping the environment by using less energy while saving you money. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy promoting energy efficiency.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Customer Reviews

Nice set for small area, sound a bit lacking
This is a nice set for a small area, such as a kitchen or bath, or small bedroom. Picture appears excellent, depending on the source channel. It auto-tuned all of the analog & digital channels from Comcast, and filtered out the scrambled (premium) channels. The set displays guide information (channel name, program) for many of the digital channels, but not the analog channels. The included stand can be rotated to 90 degrees and used as a wall mount, or a standard VESA mount (separately purchased) may be used. Changes channels quite fast.

The biggest annoyance is the relatively tinny sound, followed by the 9-10 second power-on time. There's a fair bit of tweaking room on the sound menu, but the low end isn't quite as full as one would like for a set listened to from a distance. The sound weakness was the main factor in dropping my rating to 4 stars.

There aren't many options for a small *white* television set. I might have considered Sharp but their 19-inch white set has been discontinued. All in all, it's a decent set with a few shortcomings.

Just what I was looking for
I'm really happy with this TV. I purchased it for a bedroom to match the light decor. It's lightweight, takes up very little space and looks sleek and modern. Attachments are included for wall mounting if you choose. Set up was fast and easy. When you turn it on, the TV automatically scans for available channels. The sharp, bright display impressed me, as well as the multitude of options to adjust color, brightess, backlighting, skin tone, and many more image and sound adjustment features. My bedroom gets lots of sunlight and the "dynamic" color feature makes it easy to see the screen, even with full mid-day sun. The sound is just fine for a set of this size. The rear panel has connections for headphones, cameras, camcorders, DVD players, Blue-ray, VCR, PC and home audio systems. I tried it with my camera and video camera and it worked beautifully. It also connects with your computer to use as a monitor. The remote control is a nice size and easy to use. It also includes a soft fabric cloth to keep the screen dust-free. All in all, I found this to be an high quality, versatile flat-screen at a great price. 5 stars!

Kitchen or bedroom TV , great option
I bought this TV because the Samsung brand has started to grow on me, you get what you payfor over some of the less well known brands which lack picture quality over this one. The inputs on this tv are great with an hdmi and pc vga input over the standard inputs you'd expect. The styling is great as well. When in doubt you can use it as a computer monitor and tv for a bedroom and save the space of having both.
