Good TV,
The picture quality is very good. I watch OTA channels only (no cable, fios, or satellite). The sound is typical of small tv’s. Out of the box, the audio lacks bass; however, there is an equalizer to make adjustments or just use one of the preset modes. The bezel is big which makes the viewable screen look small. The bezel is 1.75 inches around, plus another 1.5 inches on the bottom for the speaker. I dislike the glossy bezel because it reflects light, which can be a distraction.
I have another Samsung purchased in 2008. There does not seem to be improvements in how this new Samsung tv tuner handles OTA multi-path problems. I would say it handles the same. There are some improvements in user interface. On the older tv, when changing channels, it would display the channel number and station ID on the upper right corner and, for some reason, it would show the audio mode (mono, stereo, mute) on the upper left corner. On this new tv, it only shows the channel number and station ID on the upper left corner. The onscreen display is transparent, so you can still watch the current channel beneath the onscreen display.
There is a button on the remote that brings up a list of channels and lists what program is on each channel. This saves you from switching channels to find out what else is on. Another button, the “info” button, displays a synopsis of the show you are watching. It also has a progress bar to show how much time the show has until it ends. My 2008 Samsung does not have a progress bar.
I had no problems connecting my laptop to this tv via the hdmi port. Video and audio passes through the hdmi port, which is good.

|Really nice TV for the price,
This TV has many pros…the color is great, the picture is crystal clear, and has many adjustments…The best part is the speakers are in front, and not on the bottom. The worst part, is accessing the sleep mode. It takes way too many steps.

|Very happy with this television,
I purchased this TV a few months ago, and so far I am very happy with the purchase. The picture is great, especially when using HDMI. Its very light, which makes it great for bringing back and forth between my home and my dorm room at college.
My only complaints with this product although minor, would be that the buttons on the television are difficult to see. In addition, the speakers, while very usable, are in my opinion a little on the quiet side. Quite frequently I’ve had to turn the volume up to 80 in order to be able to hear dialogue. Lastly the stand that the TV is mounted on does feel a little on the cheap side. All these issues though are very minor, and I over all feel that this is a great television
I gave this television 4 out of 5 stars, with my biggest issue being the speakers not being as loud as I would have preferred(although still usable). Also, I’ve only owned this product for a few months, so I can not give accurate info about product longevity. If this TV ends up lasting me 5+ years, I would defiantly over look its minor faults and bump it up to 5 stars.
