Nothing Very Special
|
I've only owned this TV for a few days but I do have some first impressions.
First of all, I like the fact that it is very versatile. There are more than enough inputs/outputs to do everything that I would want to do with this TV.
While it does have a decent enough picture, the light bleed at the top of the screen is extremely annoying. Unfortunately, this wasn't visible in the store or I would have walked right by this set.
It also has less than great sound. I didn't expect much in the way of audio from a set like this, but it sounds something like a cheap transistor radio from the '50s.
Given that I use this set in my bedroom to mostly watch the news or an occasional late-night program, I can certainly live with its shortcomings.
I'm in the market for a much larger HDTV for my main HT setup and I'm having a hard time accepting that Samsung is supposed to be one of the "premium" brands. I'll be thinking (and looking) long and hard before buying another Samsung TV.
That said, I've already ruled out a Samsung LCD monitor for my PC after reading reviews that several models under consideration suffer from the same lightbleed issues as this TV.
Edited: Well, it's been a few weeks now so I thought I'd add a few comments.
1- I've now hooked the set up to an HD set top box so that I can view whatever my cable provider (Time Warner in NYC) transmits in HD. I've used a 1.3 compatible HDMI cable instead of regular coaxial so my signal should be the best possible.
2- Perhaps I'm missing something (and I don't claim to be an expert), but why am I getting resolution no higher than 480p? Is it based on what is being broadcast? I thought this set was capable of 720p and 1080i but that doesn't seem to be the case.
3- I've been able to tweak the sound a bit by going into the menu and adjusting the equalizer. It's not a major improvement, but it no longer sounds quite as tinny.
All in all, I have my doubts about buying another Samsung product if this is any example of their quality. |
