Very Impressed,
I am extremely happy with the performance of this TV, though I was initiatlly confused because the product is slightly different than the description on Amazon. There is only 1 HDMI port on the back on my model and nothing on the side of the TV. There is a USB but it’s on the back. My model is definitely the LN22C450 but I spoke with Samsung and they told me that there is another LN22C450 that has an additional HDMI port on the side. Don’t know why they have more than one model with the same name. I contacted Amazon about the issue and they offered me a discount which made me forget about the problem. I was impressed by the customer service dept. with Amazon. I liked the idea of a side HDMI connection, but I don’t really need two HDMI ports so it wasn’t a big enough deal. It would have been nice to have the USB on the side, for easier access, but I can live with reaching around the back since I’m not wall mounting it.
Now on to what I love about the TV:
-It has an excellent picture quality for all types of signals. I’m replacing a 15″ Polariod and the quality is light years ahead. The picture is very bright with vivid colors. Regular cable is very clear and smooth, digital 480i cable looks great, and the 720p and 1080i are incredible.
-The sound is more than sufficient for a TV this size. It’s rich and clear without the “tinny” sound of other TV’s this size.
-The TV has a great digital tuner and picks up “over the air” HD stations very well. There’s even a diagnostic signal strength meter. I’m able to pick up all my local network stations without any problems. I have a digital box I purchased that could not do this. I was thrilled to pull in HD signals without a separate antenna. I did not expect it to do this.
-It is well designed and easy to use. The menus are easy to follow and the setup is simple. Even the remote is great.
-It’s a great looking TV. The speakers are hidden and it has a slight reddish tint to it near the bottom. It also has a nice low profile. It is about an inch shorter than the C350 even though the screen size is identical. I really liked this since I have it placed on a bookshelf. It’s a perfect fit for the room I have it in.
Overall, this TV is awesome. I’m thoroughly enjoying march madness in HD!

|Good Choice for RV,
Purchased for travel trailer. Replaces original equip. Haier. Receiving an HDTV channel by RV antenna can be difficult but the Haier’s tuner did not help make it any easier. Looked at several brands before picking this TV. I liked the great picture and easy menu and remote control, but was sold by signal strength meter function in the antenna menu. I’ve been playing with TV set-up at home and found this function makes aiming the antenna very simple. The tuner is sensitive and auto channel search is quick. (For reference, we’re 40 miles from nearest station.) It finds channels too weak to produce a picture but able to be viewed by adjusting antenna using signal meter. Sound was not to my liking at standard settings. I fixed it by adjusting settings in equailizer menu. I am happy with this TV and would buy it again. Was eligible for Amazon’s free shipping and it was delivered in good time and good condition.

|Outstanding LCD TV,
Out of all the flat screen televisions I have purchased this has got to be the best I have purchased yet. A little pricier than most in its size class, but full of features and the image quality is amazing! I did read one review about the screws not fitting properly with the stand and I did not experience this problem. My stand screwed in tight and zero wobble and very stable. Picks up all the local HD channels super clear which I was very impressed with without cable assistance. Excellent internal sound as well. Really worth every penny. Samsung has a winner here.
