| I am very satisfied with this buy. The overall value seemed to best. Samsung has been rapidly improving their products especially in this area to make them affordable and high-quality. The TXN2798HF is loaded with all the available features in the Tantus category. CRTs last much longer than plasma screens and currently have one of the best and most accurate color reproduction. The TV was much heavier than I thought, however, so care should be taken with moving and placing the TV. There are plenty of connections though the single S-video input on the side may cause problems to some. I believe the TV automatically converts 480i video signals to 480p. I found, surprisingly, that image quality was better with progressive scanning on my Panasonic DVD player turned OFF rather than ON. The TV does an excellent job of processing video signals. I ordered from Amazon despite many reviewers bad experiences with ordering TVs. It is true that you cannot return TVs over 27-inches ONCE you've opened it but you can and should refuse to recieve the TV from the shipper if the box or other evidence shows that it is damaged (this is actually what Amazon recommends doing). The shipping cost did not really bother me as I would have paid nearly the same amount of money for taxes if not ordered online. |
