This review is from: Viore LED22VF50 22-Inch 1080p LED HDTV (Black)AOC L22H998 22-Inch 1080p LCD HDTVI've had this set for a week & bought it to replace a 3 yr old Westinghouse 19" LCD set that went up. I use it in the bedroom & have gotten used to the rectangular shape & the 5 second screensaver when the set is first turned on. There is a toggle switch on the back that can be switched off so you don't have to live w/the tiny, amber-colored connection glow. The picture is nice for a 1080 of this size-It has full, 4:3 & movie scale settings that you can set while you watch instead of moving thru a menu. You can also zoom in while watching wide-screen DVDs. Depending on the channel you're watching, the HD can distort on the movie scale setting. There is a Stereo setting for audio however it sounds a bit tinny & not full sound-even w/the surround sound setting turned off.

The manual is printed in English, Spanish & French & The English is written well. It has excellent hook-up illustrations & full explanations of remote receiver functions.

The remote is easy to use & has a Electronic Program Guide, list & favorite channel functions along with a sleep & closed caption function. Menu functions allow you to set picture/audio quality, time & channel locks. The remote is not infra-red so it is useless to me as I use a HDMI hook-up to the cable box. I can/t pair the tv to my cable remote to control the volume or turn the tv off/on w/o the tv remote. The manual does state that the EPG & list functions are only accessible thru the DTV setting which is disappointing as I cannot access the closed caption setting either.

I've decided to return this set as I don't want to use 2 remotes & am researching other brands.

This review is from: Viore LED22VF50 22-Inch 1080p LED HDTV (Black)Bought this to wall mount on the wall of my 15 x 12 home gym. Got this, the swivel wall mount, and the materials to build a wall-mounted shelf below it all for under 250. Most of these smaller LCD TVs are made by similar companies. This one is actually made by either Samsung or LG. It changes between models and build date. Both quality manufacturers though. Otherwise, easy to use, light, very good picture quality, and all for a great price. The only small downfall is the sound, but I wasn't expecting much. Just buy a cheap computer speaker system to hook it up to through the headphone jack in back of the unit. So far so good...

This review is from: Viore LED22VF50 22-Inch 1080p LED HDTV (Black)Pros:

I love how this TV has so many inputs! I have my Nintendo Entertainment System connected through the coax input (and my VCR over the NES coax input), my Super Nintendo through composite (RCA) input, my Nintendo 64 through S-Video input, and my Nintendo Wii through component input. I also have a GameCube but the Wii plays those games too and there's no more input available (lol). I also use this TV as my 2nd display for my computer. It looks great through VGA (sadly, no DVI input in this TV). By the way, all my game machines are, of course, 240i (I think that's the resolution on the NES) to 480i and 480p, and they still look great on this 1080p television.



Cons:

My unit came with one highly burnt pixel (very noticeable over dark images), along with about 3 other burnt pixels around it that are hardly noticeable. But I can live with that. The sound is not so bad -- considering that computer monitors have worst sound quality and are lower in volume.



Other:

DO NOT buy this TV if you're planning on hooking up your PC through HDMI. The quality is so awful. However, I noticed that it has to do with how computers handle digital connections to TVs, so it's not the TV to blame for the awful quality. If you have an XBox 360 or PS3, I'm sure the HDMI quality will look beautiful. I've read online that ATI graphics cards have a fix to properly display HDMI from computer to TV, but I can't guarantee that since I have an Nvidia card and I've tried so many ways to fix the problem but never could succeed.

This review is from: Viore LED22VF50 22-Inch 1080p LED HDTV (Black)I got this TV after returning an iSymphony LED32IF50 which had terrible color fidelity. This TV is better in many, many ways.



Setup: I'm running HDMI 1080P from a Zotac Zbox-Ad02-plus-U running Ubuntu Natty and Boxee to play content over gigE from a local media server. I've only connected this TV with HDMI, and I stuck an antenna on the DTV to make sure it worked. NOTA BENE: I'm not using the sound in the TV - I have the Zbox's TOSLINK digital sound output connected to a 5.1 receiver, so I am _not_ reviewing the audio / speakers - only the video / picture features.



Pros:

- Color fidelity and resolution is great, color bars and test patterns show the right hues and brightnesses.

- There are enough options for overscan / zoom / wide stretch etc. to make source material correctly fill the screen.

- The ergonomics of the connectors and stand are well thought out. I had no issues at all.

- I like having the ambient lighting sensor so that I don't find myself turning brightness up and down manually for day / night.

- The stand is short enough to fit the TV in a 24" vertical space, which was not true of most 37" models.

- The packaging was really sane, with removable clips that allowed the box to lift off, easier than any other I've seen.



Cons: None really so far.

This review is from: Viore LED22VF50 22-Inch 1080p LED HDTV (Black)Upgraded to this 37" Vizio from a 26" 3 ton monster in the bedroom. A few years ago I thought my DLP was a nice picture even next to a plasma, but this LED is really nice. I thought I needed a 1...

This review is from: Audiovox FPE1506DV 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player, Card Port, and USBWe reviewed the other (nearly identical) model on our show in March and I liked it so much I decided to buy one. I love Amazon.com, that's why the review is also posted here. When I got mine, I was overjoyed. You can check out the full review of the FN model at htguys.com, but here's the conclusion:



What we liked



* Awesome HD picture

* Amazing black levels

* Great, real color

* Excellent detail

* Two HDMI inputs

* Price



What we disliked



* Remote control

* Menu system

* Input switching with the factory remote



Conclusion

The JVC HD-61FN97 is an excellent value. It looks great, does a wonderful job with HD content, a great job with DVDs and a pretty good job with standard definition TV. Blacks are good, contrast is solid, colors are excellent and detail is vivid. We try to look for great values to help you (and us for that matter) get a little more out of each hard earned dollar. You'd be hard pressed to find a better looking 61" TV at its price. It really helps bring the big screen home.

This review is from: Audiovox FPE1506DV 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player, Card Port, and USBI've owned this display now for about 3 months. Simply put; I could not be happier. The picture is absolutely stunning and flawless. When watching Discovery HD on my DirecTV HD receiver; you are there! At the time of this writing Discovery HD is about 3 weeks into their "Planet Earth" series and to see the beauty of this incredible program on this display is quite frankly mind-boggling. Even the sound on the internal speakers which I only use occasionaly is great for internal TV speakers. The blue light on the front that some seem to be a little disturbed about that it could distract them is not distracting to me at all, but if it distracts you, it can be dimmed or turned off completely; so that is not an issue. The fan is as quiet as you're going to get and can only barely be heard with the volume completely down, and the wife and I sit only about 7 1/2 feet away.



I was offered a choice at the store where I buy of getting the 60" Sony, the 61" Samsung or the 61" JVC all 1080p displays and all at the exact same price...The JVC was in my opinion the hands down winner in picture quality. That said, I'm sure either of the other 2 displays would also make pretty much anyone happy.



In any case, trust me...with this display, and my Parasound pre/pro and amps, Aerial (FL, FR, and center) and Energy (4 rear channels) speakers, 2 15" DefTech subs all set up in a 7.2 configuration...As my wife now says: The theatres are so inferior. Ya gotta love it!



I HIGHLY recommend this display to even the most discerning videophile.

This review is from: Audiovox FPE1506DV 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player, Card Port, and USBI finally made a decision on which HDTV to purchase after a lengthy study. Although I am not taking delivery for a few days, I feel I know this tv very well. Also I hope this review can help others who are considering this unit. I was torn between the Sony XBR2, the Samsung 61" and the JVC. All are 1080p but the Samsung is said to have "wobulation" which is not TRUE 1080p so... I finally decided to purchase the Sony, ($3000) based on all the great reviews this tv had. I also am a believer in the LCOS technology over DLP. Anyway, I couldn't get the JVC out of my mind. Everytime I went to Best Buy to research tv's I kept seeing the unbelievable picture on the JVC. The Sony, no matter what store, never had a great "out of the box" picture, like the JVC. And no, the JVC hadn't been tweaked. When I saw the price included a $300 stand, it was just to financially a plus not to get the JVC. Technically a $1300 differance. I know many will say that the Sony is better but I couldn't deny the fantastic picture I saw at the store. I just can't justify spending $1300 more for the Sony. I'd rather have the extra money for maybe an HD-DVD player. After I take delivery, I will comment on the tv after about a month.

This review is from: Audiovox FPE1506DV 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player, Card Port, and USBI can still remember the jump from a SDTV to this HDTV "without a tuner". This TV might not be the highest resolution, but it is a great buy. I remember hooking my Tivo system to it, and the picture was so much better, without any HDTV programming. For games, it's great. You can adjust the color and video noise reduction if you have several things hooked up to your television. I just bought a Nintendo Wii, along with HDTV cables. The games look really good on this TV. I approve this buy. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because of the lack of resolution sizes.

This review is from: Audiovox FPE1506DV 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player, Card Port, and USBI just bought one of these used, and I think it is GREAT! The sound is amazing, and the picture is very, very good when using component and s-video cables. A huge step up from my old GE, even if it is "just" an SD set. Way to go, RCA!

This review is from: Audiovox FPE1506DV 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player, Card Port, and USBI've had this TV for about two years, and I must say, it has never once let me down. It has component inputs, which even on an SDTV provide exceptional clarity. It's especially noticeable when watching DVDs. For it's size, this TV is an incredible value. The only thing that has ever let me d...

1080p Full HD

50,000 to 1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio

Ambient Light Sensing technology



This review is from: VIZIO E421VA 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, BlackThe Samsung C750 is the most reasonable 3DTV on the market in terms of price. Not only is the television fully 3D compliant with the new standards, it also is an excellent 2D LCD television as well.



The 3D aspects of the television are the most interesting and what separates it from most other LCD's (including Samsung's 650 model). Although there is not much in terms of content to try out, I have watched Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D, Played Avatar the videogame on the PS3, watched the Masters in 3D, and tried out the 2D to 3D Conversion on live TV, movies, and games.



Unfortunately with all 3D sources, I have experienced some "ghosting" which is a problem where you see a double image. That said, I did manage to configure my Samsung 3D Bluray Player to the correct TV size (by default it's 55 inches) plus I upgraded the firmware and that seems to have made a large improvement. I suspect the picture size spreads out the effect and will cause even more ghosting than normal. With Avatar the game, I left the 3D effect at 1, set the correct TV size and viewing distance, and chose side by side 3D (you have to set the TV to match this) and the effect was brilliant! I do still see ghosting during cut scenes, but during gameplay it looks fantastic. The Masters, was a bit of a mixed bag. It is also side by side 3D and at times it is brilliant (when the camera pans around the environment your jaw will drop) but the first time you see severe ghosting you are taken out of the moment. However, I think once Cable and Satellite receivers are more 3D ready, you should be able to configure for the screen size, depth, and viewing distance.



2D to 3D is unique and has its moments of brilliance but also has severe drawbacks. Let's put it this way, you won't confuse Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D in it's native 3D format for watching Monsters Vs. Aliens in 2D to 3D conversion. The conversion (you can change the depth) actually can be quite blurry with some material and most material isn't worth watching converted. Some movies like Star Trek are kind of fun but I wouldn't buy the television strictly for this feature.



2D content is fantastic. The color (even the black level since you can configure the backlight without having to hack the firmware), sharpness, and overall features (such as MotionPlus) are astounding for the price range. I actually have turned off MotionPlus simply because it gives non sports programming a "Spanish Soap Opera" effect. I did run into a bit of a strange issue that seems to have gone away by resetting the cable box where the picture bounced up and down using a Time Warner HD Cable box hooked via HDMI (you need HDMI to view the Masters in 3D). I really can't hold that against the TV, it was more the cable box but I've read of similar problems with some Samsung models so there does seem to be some buggy firmware with the box.



Overall if it wasn't for the ghosting issues still being present (it could be the content, but I cannot be sure, I'd like to test more 3D Televisions) and the 2D to 3D conversion being slightly underwhelming I'd give this TV a perfect score. As it is, if you are in the market for an affordable HDTV and want the 3D option, you can't go wrong. You have plenty of inputs (plus two usb slots) and the TV is a beautiful compliment to your entertainment room so I highly recommend this television (it's nearly $1,000 cheaper than the LED model of the same size).





Edit as of 5/12/2010:

I've had this TV now for a few weeks and gone through a firmware update, tested some more functions, calibrated it more, and updated the firmware on the Samsung 6900 3D Bluray Player twice.



I want to change my comments on 2D -> 3D conversion. I don't know if it's the firmware upgrade or what, but now I definitely see a difference in most scenes (I have the depth up to 10). Games like Uncharted 2 with a map like "The Village" look fantastic converted. I've also managed to get Avatar (The Game) on the PS3 to look great with side by side 3D with minimal ghosting. Since the firmware update and the 3D Optimize option for the TV, Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D also looks very good.



I did have a stupid moment where I noticed a huge lag playing something like Rock Band and finally realized there is a game mode. Since going to game mode, I have no issues playing videogames and the response time is virtually nothing now.



I absolutely love the TV, it does have some flashlighting (You don't see this unless the screen is ENTIRELY black) but 2D content looks fantastic and 3D is impressing me more and more. For a while it was even cheaper than it is now on Amazon but the price went back up. It's still worth it. I see some people bashing the TV simply because the glasses aren't included or it's not competing with the Panasonic 3D Plasma models but they obviously haven't seen it. Everybody that has reviewed this TV on Amazon owns the TV, some sites people are reviewing 3D Ready TV's without actually owning it. I've seen reviews based on a 5 minute demo and they couldn't even tell you the firmware level. Believe me this TV is awesome and once you experience a true 3D source, you will have little doubt 3D is the next wave in TV (it may be a few years until it reaches mainstream).



I'm also giving it 5 stars since the firmware update since ghosting/crosstalk has gotten a lot better (it's still not quite perfect but very impressive).

This review is from: VIZIO E421VA 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, BlackPosted this on AVS forums and decided to post it here too since I bought the TV here on Amazon.



Posted on 6/24/10

Finally got the Samsung from Amazon after almost 2 weeks. Slowest shipping I've seen in a long time. I'd rather pay a few bucks than wait weeks for free.

This review is from: Zenith Z19LCD3 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTVi recently purchased this television and was astounded by the remarkable picture on hdtv. i simply hooked up a 20 dollar indoor antenna and picked up all the stations. i kept my 32 inch zenith console tv because it still has a lot of life in it. i looked at sony tvs but kept coming back to zenith. if you can find one consider purchasing a good old fashined crt television.keith ballard meridian ms

This review is from: Zenith Z19LCD3 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTVI've had this TV for a little over three years I think. It just died (it won't power on).

- I'm glad actually, it gives me an excuse to buy a flat screen of some sort with HDMI jacks.

- Worst thing about this TV was the remote. You couldn't jump to a particular input, you had to click through all of them. Even ones not-in-use.

This review is from: Zenith Z19LCD3 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTVPurchased this little Zenith for my dad since he was still looking for a TV with the Zenith name. LG makes the line now, but still the same great Zenith picture quality. Dad loves it, thinking about getting one for myself. Great connectivity, it has every input you'd ever want, computer, HDTV, composite, RGB, and over the air analog and digital tuner.



The auto shut-off after the input signal stops is a nice touch in case you get busy while a DVD is playing.

This review is from: Samsung 51 Inch Plasma HDTV 1080p 3D 4-HDMI 2-USB PC 1-Comp 1-Ether Built-In Wifi NewWith the coaxial hookup (standard cable) or composite video hookup the picture quality is very, very poor. Blurry and shimmery. I tried it with a number of different input sources and the results were unacceptable.



However, with the s-video hookup, the picture is solid.



Might be an OK TV if you only need s-video.

This review is from: Samsung 51 Inch Plasma HDTV 1080p 3D 4-HDMI 2-USB PC 1-Comp 1-Ether Built-In Wifi NewThe tv came with one inactive pixle and had to me returned. The exchanged tv if fime now. The speakers in the tv are low quality but the pictue is good.

This review is from: Samsung 51 Inch Plasma HDTV 1080p 3D 4-HDMI 2-USB PC 1-Comp 1-Ether Built-In Wifi NewI bought this and straight out of the box it had 2 burnt pixels, I tried to return it to the store but they was sold out. I call Polaroid Corp CS and it takes me to Canada TWW Warranty for Polaroid, WOW! So, they told me that the HDTV that I bought would have to have like 5-6 pixels burnt out in a 1" inch square before they would issue a return or exchange! I am so totally surprised that Polaroid as big named as it is would let this kinda trash help them keep customers happy! I finally after googling for about 30 mins came up on the American CS for Polaroid, you have to talk to the 1 for films or you will not get an American CS and all others will not let you return or exchange it! I will not EVER buy another Polaroid PRODUCT of any kind after this, it still hasnt been fixed and I have called them 6 or more times and each time they tell me that they will call me back within 24 hours and NEVER HAVE HEARD anything. I guess they are waiting on the warrenty to run out on it. Never again! And as a note SamSung (aka Sanyo) has bad CS same as Polaroid.

This review is from: Samsung 51 Inch Plasma HDTV 1080p 3D 4-HDMI 2-USB PC 1-Comp 1-Ether Built-In Wifi NewThis is a great TV. I purchased this television from Best Buy, and was happy with it until I noticed the auto-dimming feature. After reading about it online, I've noticed tons of people having the same issue. Fortunately it can be fixed (relatively) easily. All you need is a compatible flash drive (you can check the Sony Support website for a list of compatible flash drives - I used 4 GB Sony Micro Vault), and a PC. From there you simply go to the Sony Support website and download the update/patch for the TV which completely eliminates the auto-dim feature. I got the link by accessing the chat service on the Sony Support site. The PC part is important; If you have an Apple computer, you won't be able to successfully install the update. I implore anyone who has issues with the auto-dim feature to download the update - it gets rid of the problem.



Pros: Great value; contrast ratio; 1080p; 40 inch screen.

Cons: Without the update/patch there is the auto-dim feature; only 60hz

Overall: I loved the TV at first, then hated it when I noticed the auto-dim, now love it again now that I downloaded the update. I would recommend this TV for anyone looking to upgrade to HD.

This review is from: Samsung 51 Inch Plasma HDTV 1080p 3D 4-HDMI 2-USB PC 1-Comp 1-Ether Built-In Wifi NewI bought this TV knowing about the brightness issue and the fix that Sony provides. I installed the software update and I love the quality of the picture I get in TV, DVD, and gaming modes.



Yes, the software update can be downloaded to a compatible USB storage device (flash drive), but if you don't have a compatible flash drive on hand there is no need to go out and buy one for a one time use.



Call Sony at 1-800-222-7669 to request the update be mailed to you free of charge. They will send the update to you on a USB storage device, along with instructions on how to perform the update.



If you have a USB flash drive on hand, but you're not sure if it's a compatible storage device, the following link will provide a list.

I hope this info helps.

Enjoy your Sony Bravia!

This review is from: Samsung 51 Inch Plasma HDTV 1080p 3D 4-HDMI 2-USB PC 1-Comp 1-Ether Built-In Wifi NewI purchased this tv after carefully weighing the pros and cons with what little information I could find. Overall I am not disappointed. Being a relatively newer model reviews were hard to come by and the one review I found was here on Amazon and it was a bad review. It mentioned the Auto contrast feature included on the Bravia models and complained that during some movies it would darken too much and make the flick unwatchable. I have watched quite a few movies at this point and have not noticed it to be a problem except for maybe during opening credits.



I also Game alot on this tv, My 360 and PS3 look amazing through the HDMI and even my Wii looks pretty good(as good as a Wii can look). This is a great tv and the only thing I would change is the Auto Contrast. It has an option to turn it off, but switching it to off doesnt turn it of.. WTG Sony. :D Still a great tv

I got the link by accessing the chat service on the Sony Support site. The PC part is important; If you have an Apple computer, you won't be able to successfully install the update. I implore anyone who has issues with the auto-dim feature to download the update - it gets rid of the problem.



Pros: Great value; contrast ratio; 1080p; 40 inch screen.

Cons: Without the update/patch there is the auto-dim feature; only 60hz

Overall: I loved the TV at first, then hated it when I noticed the auto-dim, now love it again now that I downloaded the update. I would recommend this TV for anyone looking to upgrade to HD.

This review is from: LG 50 Inch Plasma Full HDTV W/Public Display Settings 3000000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio NewI bought this TV knowing about the brightness issue and the fix that Sony provides. I installed the software update and I love the quality of the picture I get in TV, DVD, and gaming modes.



Yes, the software update can be downloaded to a compatible USB storage device (flash drive), but if you don't have a compatible flash drive on hand there is no need to go out and buy one for a one time use.



Call Sony at 1-800-222-7669 to request the update be mailed to you free of charge. They will send the update to you on a USB storage device, along with instructions on how to perform the update.



If you have a USB flash drive on hand, but you're not sure if it's a compatible storage device, the following link will provide a list.

I hope this info helps.

Enjoy your Sony Bravia!

This review is from: LG 50 Inch Plasma Full HDTV W/Public Display Settings 3000000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio NewI purchased this tv after carefully weighing the pros and cons with what little information I could find. Overall I am not disappointed. Being a relatively newer model reviews were hard to come by and the one review I found was here on Amazon and it was a bad review. It mentioned the Auto contrast feature included on the Bravia models and complained that during some movies it would darken too much and make the flick unwatchable. I have watched quite a few movies at this point and have not noticed it to be a problem except for maybe during opening credits.



I also Game alot on this tv, My 360 and PS3 look amazing through the HDMI and even my Wii looks pretty good(as good as a Wii can look). This is a great tv and the only thing I would change is the Auto Contrast. It has an option to turn it off, but switching it to off doesnt turn it of.. WTG Sony. :D Still a great tv

This review is from: Samsung HLP5685W HDTV-Ready DLP Rear-Projection TVPROS: Kinda surprised that I'm the first person to write a review for this great 19" HDTV from Samsung. I guess 19" (actually, 18.5") monitors are not all that popular as they're generally too small for anything but a smallish space. In my case, I use it in my office adjacent to a pair of Samsung 2233 21.5" monitors that my wife and I use.



The 933HD+ is a great little HDTV/Monitor that's just perfect for the space I have. The colors are vibrant (I'm using an HDMI connection from my Comcast cable box) and the refresh rate is fine for football games and other high-motion broadcasts. The speakers are another matter (see below) but I bought this monitor for its picture, not for its sound. I've also used the analog D-SUB connector to hook this up to my computer as a second monitor (with a digital DVI connection going to the Samsung 2233SW). Works great for Netflix streams! The screw-in monitor stand was trivially easy to attach. Overall, a great small HDTV at a great price.



CONS: The biggest issue with this monitor is the underwhelming speakers. There just isn't much low end from the stock, tinny speakers. I knew this in advance and my solution is to just use a an extra set of Boston Acoustics computer speakers (along with a sub-woffer) using the headphone out 3.5mm jack on the back of the TV. Now it sounds great! The remote works, but it is hardly an icon of sleek design. Another gripe has to do with the Ultra-Mega shiney black finish. The finish is so polished that it reflects everything. Right now, I can see the reflection from all the Christmas lights in my house, and frankly I find this somewhat annoying. A matte-black finish would have been MUCH, MUCH better. Also, this things shows off fingerprints and dust like there's no tomorrow.Also noticed that depending on the viewing angle, the color vibrance and brightness can vary pretty significantly. This is the case with all LCD monitors, not just this one. But no big deal-breakers here.



OVERALL: For the price, I don't think there's a better value out there. The cons I noted have *nothing* to do with the performance of the monitor, either. Rather, they are cosmetic issues that are totally ignorable. I wish there were some after-market height-adjustable stands that attached to the base on these monitors. I find them to be just a little too low to the table for my tastes. Maybe Samsung will offer something like this as as accessory down the road (assuming they standardize on this screw-on based for all monitors/HDTV's in this class). The buttons on the side of the monitor are hard to use, but thankfully you don't need to interact with them very much -- set 'em once, then forget about 'em.

This review is from: Samsung HLP5685W HDTV-Ready DLP Rear-Projection TVI am using this monitor AS AN HDTV!



Works perfectly. The picture is great, connectability is great, all around perfect.



I mounted this to a regular old wall mount, and the picture is amazing. Sound is OK.

This review is from: Samsung HLP5685W HDTV-Ready DLP Rear-Projection TVi am more than pleased with this piece of gear, but my impression may be influenced by the fact that its my first hdtv and its football season.



i use practically all the connections in the back and it makes it a very flexible device. i wont prattle on but just suffice to say that PIP (picture in picture) would really improve the functionality.



with computer and multiple television inputs the device could simultaneous serve multiple functions but for whatever reason the PIP feature was not included. it couldn't be cost as PIP is more a software function (i could be wrong), so all i can think is they skimped on memory/cpu.



there is a usb port and documentation alludes to a firmware update capability, but i'm dreaming now.



anyway the only other thing i can say is amazon didn't charge me tax or the recycling fee (that saved me [...]).

This review is from: Samsung HLP5685W HDTV-Ready DLP Rear-Projection TVIt cost me around CAN$950 at BestBuy. After one month I am still very happy with my decision. Before the purchase, I spent long time in the store comparing this with Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, and Westinghouse 32"s. The conclusion is that Philips delivers the most natural picture (thank for the LG panel). Sony is quite good in every aspect but pricy. Toshiba is generally okay except the picture looked really 2-D (fake), IMHO. 1080p from Sharp is nice, but I'm afraid it's an overkill for the 32" level (perhaps even for a 37"). Westinghouse offers a good price/performance ratio, but I would feel like buying extra protection after knowing the warranty service issues from the company.



When spending money on a TV, we look at two things - performance and warranty. As for performance, an LCD TV mainly depends on the panel and the image processor. Those "resolution", "response time", "contrast ratio", "viewing angle" etc are decided by the panel itself. There are other inborn feature by a panel but let's not get too technical. Nowadays technology on making 32" panels has become mature, so in most cases what makes one outstanding is the image processor. This is something you need to spend time in a store to feel. Both TVs from Philips & LG use the same LG made panel yet a difference can easily be seen, because Philips uses Pixel Plus.



An HDTV has high ...
