Great HDTV entry

 

If you want to jump into the HDTV pool is television is excellent, the price point is just right. Of course you won't be getting 1080p for that price. It arrived just fine with no dead pixels. Also I really appreciate the two HDMI ports. Most lower end...

The power port is kind wonky. If you move it or the TV a little bit the TV will lose power. You have to make sure it's in there straight and isn't moved

Good TV

 

The tv has a great picture, plenty of inputs, easy setup, easy menu's. Its sleek and stylish. I have a samsung monitor which has served me well. That fact, coupled with the editors choice award for best LCD TV under 32" made this my choice

I dont have a HD DVD player yet

Excellent Product

 

Usually ellicits a "whoa" when people see it for the first time (it is larger than average for a computer monitor). Wish it didn't try to show a TV source when switching between inputs if none is plugged in, but that's a 1-second annoyance.

Looks fantastic. Currently using it both as a larger display for my laptop and for my PS3, and have had no issues that were the TV's fault. 2 HDMI ports is nice, as both of my devices can be hooked up digitally at the same time

Speakers are kinda lousy, but I knew that going in and never intended to use them anyway (I bought standalone speakers, and usually use headphones anyway)

Satisfied Buyer

 

Great TV so far. But I think anything is better than my old 24inch box TV. Got this mainly for xbox 360 gaming with HDMI and its done its job. Picture quality is great. Picture quality is so good it's actually thrown off my aiming in Halo 3

After turning on the TV, there is a delayed 5 or 6 seconds to come on, but dosnt really bother me, just thought I'd throw that in here

SAMSUNG 32" 720p LCD HDTV LNT3242H

 

This is a good low cost, great value display if using it for a HDTV or watching SD channels. Get this over a 1080p with low contrast anyday. 1080p tv's at this price range have poor contrasts and believe me it is worth having a high contrast 720p...

Good contrast, input types, sound is decent, picture quality overall is excellent for a lcd. For the Price, its an excellent deal

Must press source button to switch from PC mode to HDMI or to Component. When switching from Video modes ( HDMI, PC, etc ) to cable channels, it leaves a few pixels at the top stuck at the prev challen and you must switch to another cable channel and...

Good Bargain, Great TV

 

All in all, this is a TV that gave me the most bang for my buck. It has both great quality picture and sound, that has continued to impress me. If this TV is in stock and you can get it for $xxx with free 3 day shipping, then this is a must buy for...

This is a great TV for the price and the fact that you get free 3 day shipping was great. After I received my TV, I was greatly impressed with the quality of the picture and viewing angle of the TV. So far I have used my Xbox 360 and an over-the-air...

So far there are hardly any problems or cons for this TV. The only thing that I would consider a con is the audible tone emitted by the TV when being turned off or on. Basically, the tone sounds like a 1980s arcade game, which is the only way to really...

SAMSUNG 23" 720p LCD HDTV W/ ATSC Tuner LNT2342H

 

While the view could be a little better when looking up (I'd say it's more 120 -140 deg), I doubt my daughter will notice. I am really happy with this TV otherwise. A good buy overall...

Nice looking with a great picture. Item well packed. Also, Newegg had a pretty good price on this item. I needed a TV for my daughter's room without spending a mint on it

The viewing angle is very good from side to side. The angle when looking up could be a little better which is why I didn't give it 5 eggs. The spec list the vertical viewing angle at 160 deg (the same has the H angle), but I found the picture to fade...

Nice TV

 

Don't let the cons dissuade you. This is an excellent TV. If you have digital satellite/cable this is the best deal you'll find anywhere on a good name brand 23" HD LCD TV. I'm just still in the stone age watching analog cable ;) This weekend I'll be...

No dead/stuck pixels. Great colors. Sleek design. I can view digital channels my analog TVs could not (50 new digital channels I didn't even know were in my cable package). Good picture quality on digital channels 480i and up

Minor ghosting on all analog channels. Though-- this is to be expected from watching analog cable through a digital TV. Ghosting is increased by the picture being stretched to the 16:9 ratio. Watching in 4:3 is unappealing - you loose a good 4 inches...
