Gorgeous picture for a SD CRT television
|
I bought this television because it has the best picture out of all of the available tube televisions between 20 and 27 inches, and it was the cheapest tube set with a QAM/unscrambled digital cable tuner.
First off, the resolution is standard 480 interlaced. It doesn't look 480i though, especially in component and digital TV mode. I was almost fooled that it was 480 progressive. It's that stunning.
Edit : In a pleasant surprise, I also found out that this TV can accept and display PAL 576 interlaced signals, a common video format in Europe. If you're like me and get DVD videos sent from Europe encoded in PAL, you won't need to worry about converting from PAL to NTSC on the DVD player.
The digital tuner automatically memorizes all of the standard and unscrambled digital cable channels when you power it on for the first time and throws away all channels with no content. So far, the digital tuner works with very little to no digital distortion, much better than the set-top HD tuner I bought a few months ago.
It has many options available on the remote, including changing around different picture and sound profiles, zoom in and out of a picture, sleep timer, and commercial skip timer. No problems with working the remote, either.
The sound is acceptable. I'm not an audiophile, but there is an equalizer in the audio options and the TV is stamped with Dolby Digital logo, most likely for the sound from the digtial channels.
The only complaints I have about this set that kept it from receiving a 5-star rating are:
* The picture is very slightly curved, but only noticable on those news channels' lines of text on the bottom and in video games.
* The left and right edges of the screen have an illusion of faint vertical lines because of the bigger pixel sizes on the flat screen's sides. Those aren't noticeable unless you're a foot or two away from the screen.
* The zoom feature only zooms in vertically. If you're watching something that has black bars on the sides, like most digital SD programs on a HD channel, you're stuck with them.
* The remote stops working if the TV is off and you push some buttons on the remote while pointing it to the TV. Pushing the power button on the TV eliminates the lock-out on the remote. A bit annoying if you're not careful.
Overall, I recommend this TV to anyone that needs a medium-sized television with a clear digital cable tuner, beautiful progressive-like picture on digital content and devices over component inputs, and doesn't have the budget to get a similar-sized HDTV.
Update: Samsung changed the info page for this television on their web site. The TX-T2082 is now advertised as a standard-definition television (SDTV). I removed mentions of the false advertisements because of this. |
