Simply amazed!

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!

Great Picture from the front
This TV has a great picture of the front easily the best in the 26 "market. I have long sought and compared to Sony and LG. I planned to Sony KDL-26L5000 again but Samsung has the double contrast ratio. Unfortunately the only downside was the murderer as much for me and this is the side viewing angle. I think the Sony is better in this area, but not enough to justify it on the Samsung. In Ultimately I decided to go with the Samsung LN32B650 for the bedroom over the 26 "Samsung because it has a better angle vewing, information on the link, 1080P, LAN port, and you can use the USB cable to see things and not just for the service / firmware update. While the LN32B650 is twice the price:) If you are looking for an LCD to the bedroom or kitchen where you plan to watch his head on the side and not so what it is. If you are insistent on a TV 26 "again is the best that exists today. The fact is that if you want a TV with all the bells and whistles now, 32 inches is the smallest size you can find it in.

Great *bargain* 26″ Samsung
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.
