Great little TV

Review Date: November 27, 2009

Reviewer: S. Nellis,

I was tasked with getting a small TV to put in my parents' kitchen. After reading lots of online reviews and looking at some sets in local stores, I finally decided to take the leap with this unit even though there were complaints of sound quality and small viewing angles. I have several friends with larger Samsung LCDs and they all have been very satisfied, so I trusted the brand.

I'm rather glad I did. This TV now sits on a counter between the main kitchen and the dining area, and while it's obviously not as clear from every angle as it is straight on, its horizontal viewing angle is at least as good as other LCDs I've seen and better than many. We don't really test the vertical viewing angle much since it's waist to chest height, but it seemed acceptable to me when I sat on the ground in front of it.

I was only marginally concerned about the sound since they have the option of passing the audio through to the kitchen zone of their distributed audio system, but the speakers hold up well for what they are. Don't expect the same sound that comes out of the sound bar of a 42-62" TV since these speakers are appreciably smaller, but they fill the fairly large kitchen/dining area just fine. Don't know if I got a great unit or it's just quieter in our place than other reviewers', but I don't see us having to turn it up much higher than 60 out of 100.

Can't really comment on the overall picture quality as they're just running standard definition to it at this point, but the colors are great.

Very much recommend this model to anyone looking for a small basic set.

Pros
- Good colors
- Easy to set up
- Price: got it for $221 shipped during a special

Cons
- Muting the sound on the unit doesn't mute the pass-through sound signal

Neutral
- Sound isn't as good as larger TVs, but this is to be expected with smaller speakers.

We purchased this tv form Amazon.com about one month ago and have been very pleased with the product. We use in the kitchen and it is excellent for under counter in a small space. Setup was easy and the picture is great. I have used sony previously but will definitely Samsung when making another tv purchase.

TV for the kitchen

Bought this 19" Samsung TV for our renovated kitchen and it looks great and works great. Sound is a little tinny but fine for this use. Unit is compact and lightweight so it kind of blends in with the countertop and other appliances that have black on them.

Excellent small screen LCD

TV arrived ahead of schedule. Easy to install. Picture is excellent. Audio is fine considering size of TV and speakers. Audio can be adjusted via the Menu in order to improve the quality.

Awesome TV for my PS3 in my bedroom.

This is a great little TV for the money. I hooked up my PS3 via HDMI and the picture quality is real nice. I thought the screen size might be too small but it's just right for me sitting about 3 feet away. People are saying the internal speakers suck. I attached external ones so I can't comment about the sound quality.

Thank you Amazon for the free shipping on this unit that arrived so quickly!
