Customer Review: Beautiful TV

Samsung LNT4065F 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
I bought this TV for myself and then recommended it to my Mother. Now we are both enjoying vivid, bright, and colorful LCD High Definition TV. The TV is gorgeous on the stand. The sound is rich. One of the great surprises was that without a high definition cable converter box the TV finds and displays the available High Definition channels on its own. Yes the picture would be better if I did have it connected to a digital cable box but for no additional fee I can view High definition TV because of the built in converter in the TV.

I have given it 4 stars as my other high definition CRT tv still beats the LCD TV in clarity and detail.

Customer Review: Good purchase

We have been very pleased with this TV. The picture and the sound are excellent. I would recommend this TV to a friend.

Sharp LC32SB24U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Friday, June 27th, 2008

The stalwart individuals that refuse to upgrade to HDTV don’t know what they’re missing. Standard TV pales in comparison with HDTV. Colors and shades are deeper. Details are precise and sharp. The 32″ screen of the Sharp LC32SB24U has greater dynamic-contrast and brightness than any other TV in its class. This really is a wise, affordable approach toward experiencing TV quality as never seen before and never heard before. A glossy black frame presents a stylish statement both understated and distinctive. It’s the TV to get. Brightness - 450 cd/m2 Lamp Life - 2 60,000 hours Audio System - 10-Watts + 10-Watts through built-in speakers Native Contrast Ratio - 1500 - 1 / Dynamic Contrast Ratio 7500 - 1 View Modes - Sidebar, Smart Stretch, Stretch, Zoom HDMI - Input 2 HD Component Input - 2 RGB D-Sub (PC) Input 15-pin x 1 S-Video Input 4-pin DIN x 1; Composite Video Input (A/V) RCA x 2 Audio Inputs RCA L/R x 4; Digital Audio Outputs 1 Table Stand Included, removable / Wall mount is optional and not included Power Supply 120V ENERGY STAR Qualified Sharp Limited Warranty - 1 year parts, 90 days labor Unit Dimensions - TV and Stand - 30-9/16 x 22-41/64 x 9-1/16; TV only - 30-9/16 x 20-19/32 x 3-45/64 // TV Weight (in pounds) - TV and Stand 35.3 29.8/TV only

Customer Review: Great picture, nice size, slow channel-change

There are very few small HDTV/DVD combo units out there. This seemed the most reasonable. I use this as a TV for the porch or the extra bedroom. The only fault I have with this is that each channel change takes 3-5 seconds. I have an LG that is about 2 seconds for channel change - liveable. I contacted Toshiba and it seems it’s not a big deal to them. If you don’t flip alot between channels it shouldn’t be a problem (I do, on every commercial, and that is cumbersome). So, I wouldn’t recommend this for the primary set in the house, but as an extra, it’s fine.

Customer Review: Good one

Nice quality, good picture, DVD with Divx format. Whats not to like?

If its like my other 4 Toshiba’s it will be around here longer than I want to look at it, because they never break down.

Customer Review: Amazing Movie Motion

The 37XBR6 is a great TV for movie buffs. The CineMotion technology on the 37XBR6 creates amazing, life-like motion in movies. Even older movies come to life with this technology. The picture color has a very natural look that doesn’t look over-saturated like other TVs. The black level on the TV is amazing. I see details in movies I never saw before with my other HD TV. Also, videogames look great with no lag. A great purchase that I am very happy about.

Customer Review: No PIP.. be warned..

I give it 1 star because they wrongly advertise PIP. Below is taken from the User Guide. You need an Analog input to do PIP. WTH. This is a HDTV. Who has analog these days. Let me know if I’m wrong..

Otherwise I would give it a 5 star.

Customer Review: great small tv

Needed new tv for kitchen. This set fit the bill perfectly. Good picture. Good remote. Highly recommended.

Customer Review: Great Tv

When I needed to upgrade the TV in our kitchen, it had to fit in a cabinet-end box that had been designed for a 20″ CRT Sony 10 years ago. I soon learned that few HDTV mfgrs are building HDTVs that are 22 - 23″. After a lot of web research and viewing and measuring LCD and plasma TVs in retailers, we agreed that the 22-inch Samsung was the best for us. While it’s widely available in many retail outlets and sites, Amazon’s price was the best. It was delivered in just a few days and the set has a beautiful picture and “fits” our needs perfectly.
