Having moved across country temporarily to find the furnished apartment furnished with an ancient tiny TV, I set myself the task of finding an affordable interim replacement. My "real" TV is a larger sized LCD Samsung and I have been very happy with it for the last two years, so I was not hesitant to get another Samsung, especially with the good reviews of this model. I was not disappointed! This TV has a beautiful picture. It is crisp, clear, responsive (for video games), and has great color.
The sound, oddly enough, is much better than my bigger Samsung. Perhaps Samsung has inconsistent speaker quality? I noticed some other reviewers complaining about the speakers, but I really find the sound quality to be quite clear and rich for such a small TV. Makes me think if I were to buy another and got crappy sound, I'd either return the TV or have Samsung fix it.
I've noticed that the menu options and firmware, while closely resembling those of my older TV, are in fact much improved. The channel

I was hesitant to buy this TV mainly, believe it or not, because of the sticker problem some others had after purchasing their TV's. Apparently, there were enough complaints that Samsung has done away with that sticker completely, thank goodness. Or maybe I just got lucky. I bought this for use as a bedroom television and it's got a great picture even simply hooked up to basic cable. Sound is wonderful, but as I said, it's a bedroom TV, so it doesn't need to be very loud. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I only wish I would have purchased this Samsung 19" HDTV sooner. After my small analog kitchen TV "bit the dust" last winter, I convinced myself I really did not need a kitchen TV. WRONG....that is where I am most of the time while everyone else is visiting and watching the games, poor me. lol... Well any way, my husband and I looked at every 10" HDTV on the market and finally selected this Samsung. Perfect choice!!! It is clear, sharp, with excellent sound that completes the package. It fits perfectly under my kitchen cupboards...no glare from anywhere. Love this product, if I needed another TV, this would be the "go to" TV. You will NOT be disappointed.

We were looking for a small 19 to 22 inch LCD for the bedroom. The Samsung had good reviews both here and at CR. Yes, the picture is great. BUT the sound isn't up to par even for a small TV. The stand is a pain to adjust. You are to put the TV face down on something, press against the back, push a button, and swivel the stand into place. (Bizarre.) Then there's the sticker. Who would put a gooey sticker on the frame of a TV? Well, Samsung seems to think it's a great idea. Peel the sticker off and you're left with a sticky residue on the plastic frame. You'll need Oops to remove it, I'm told. (Bizarre, again.) And then there's the tiny little buttons on the front-facing right frame. Accidentally touch the side of the TV to adjust the position and you will likely hit a button and get a menu appearing on the screen.

I purchased this product from Amazon in July. Out of the box it was broken. The tv did not get any audio on certain channels. One channel had the video of one picture and the audio from another. I sent it back and got a replacement. BIG MISTAKE. The second one arrived. It worked great for about a month. Then BAM - same problem. On some channels, no audio, mixed audio/video on the same channel as before. Plus, on some channels the audio levels rise and lower for no apparent reason -- so one minute it's fine and then the next thing you know the tv is so loud it makes you jump.
Amazon is not standing by this and will only offer me a partial refund since I called 3 days after their return policy ran out. I now have had to call Samsung and will have to bring it to a service center for repair. Be careful buying tv's from Amazon since they do not stand by the quality of the merchandise they sell. THIS TV IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

My mom needed a replacement TV for her kitchen, had to fit in a fairly small space, so this is the biggest that would fit. The most important thing was that it include a tuner, so it can take a straight cable feed with no box. Also that it do a good job with plain old standard definition, which is what is watched 99% of the time.
This TV is excellent! SD picture is fantastic! HD looks good (I've never seen an HD picture that looks really bad, have you?). Only complaint, slight "glow" around the edges when a black screen is displayed. Mom doesn't notice and does not care, for her its perfect.
Tuner did a good job of finding all cable signals (including the strange 80.1, 80.2, etc channels). But it was also smart enough to go back and DELETE all the ones that are scrambled. So even though the setup takes a while, when you are done, its all set, and you don't have to manually delete scrambled channels, very clever.
Remote control is basic and functional. Nothing fancy, and nothing fancy

The picture is sharp and clear and the sound is amazing. I hung it in the kitchen with an articulated arm and everyone at the table gets a good view at the screen. The picture doesn't fade out when looking at it at almost any angle and the color is terrific. I highly recommend this TV for a big picture with a tiny footprint in any room in the house.

I had originally purchased a Philips 19PFL3403D/27 19-inch LCD HDTV but sent it back to buy this Samsung. The picture quality on the Samsung is FAR superior and the little extras like an included mounting bracket make it well worth it. The white is sleek like a Mac and looks great in my kitchen. The Sound quality leaves a little to be desired and could possible drop my rating to 4 stars, but the reality is that I think this is one of the best 19" TV's out there so I'll give it 5 stars. The menus and setup features on the Samsung are very intuitive and easy to navigate.

Excellent picture and quality looking cabinet. Easy set-up directions. Not crazy about the richness of the sound. Generally speaking tho, very happy with the purchase.
