I decided to upgrade the Television in my kitchen. Had been using a 13″ CRT but wanted a flat screen like the rest of the TVS in the house. Truly didn’t purchase this from Amazon. Bought it locally due to the fact the value was the same and I could have it NOW! One more plus was that if I decided that I actually didn’t like the Tv or its sound I could simply and quickly return it. The only downside was state taxes. First off I ought to say I have no difficulty with the sound portion of this Tv. A few other have commented on that but it plays and sounds just fine. I have a 7.1 surround sound hooked to my primary television so I have a reference. No, I’m not even trying to compare the two but I am aware of sound good quality. This is fairly a bargain and the overall high quality is far more than satisfactory. I was a very good choice for me and as a result I can suggest it.
Update: following listening to the sound produced by this Television for maybe a month or so, I decided to add a set of modest speakers to it which has improved the sound high quality significantly. Although it was feasible to listen to it originally, adding the speakers fully removed any sound issue.

Flimsy Bezel, March 22, 2011

Bought this Tv to replace a Samsung T260HD that has been fantastic as a “hybrid” monitor. This Television was going to be used for 50/50 personal computer monitor & PS3 gaming for a child’s space. Regrettably it really is come time to replace the T260HD due to a loose rear HDMI connector and just searching outdated compared to new models. There are not to many Top quality selections on 1080P tv’s 26″ or smaller so I gave this 22″ a shot. 1st the Television aesthetics look fantastic! Connections are excellent with side facing HDMI, but did not like the rear headphone jack given that it is regularly used. Yet another plus was NO “power brick”, typically little TV’s this thin have an external power converter. PQ was great for a screen this size, and surprising sound was decent too.

Unfortunately I had to return this tv due to the fact of the flimsy bezel that is around the screen. I had the tv wall mounted utilizing an articulating mount. Throughout gentle adjustments holding the top and bottom of the screen to adjust tilt, the top portion of the bezel would snap off. Being in a child’s space with everyday adjustments, there is no way it would physically last. Looking at the bezel, it looks like it just uses snaps on the leading and screws on the bottom.

So if you strategy to use this tv on an articulating mount, I cannot suggest, but if you don’t it must make a wonderful little tv.

Lacks attributes and has other problems/defects, March 31, 2011

I was fairly pleased with this Television when I removed it from the box. It was slim/light and had a slick look. The picture was respectable for a 22″ and the sound was okay. I was also happy that a model this size supplied two HDMI ports. Also, it looks wonderful as a monitor for my laptop or computer. But… then I noticed a couple of problems.

Minor Difficulties:
-No soft mute
-Extremely hard to manually add/get rid of channels. (Originally, soon after messing with my Television and its manual, I concluded that it wasn’t feasible… but it is if you hit the “content material” button on the remote.) This could not seem like a huge deal, but the Television ended up selecting up 100+ channels. Most of those are the HD versions of my channels. I’d like to take away the repeats and just keep the HD versions, but the Television genuinely hides this feature. I located out exactly where to do it, but I nevertheless can’t get it right. It is a shame.

Major Troubles:
-The A/V, component adapter that connects to the Television just doesn’t operate. This is the second time I’ve had Amazon ship me this Tv and the adapter nonetheless does not operate. I’ve tested it with three diverse devices and the Tv doesn’t recognize any of them. A enormous issue for me, thinking about not all of my devices can connect using HDMI (so I must use the component). I’m sending this model back and attempting a distinct one. I want a Tv with operating ports.

-Samsung’s consumer service is not so excellent. They told me that I ought to acquire a new adapter since the 1 they sent me could be defective. What? No thanks, Samsung. Thank goodness for Amazon’s fantastic return policy.

In summary, check ALL the inputs prior to your 30-day grace period ends with Amazon. The VGA, 2 HDMIs, component, headphone jack, USB, etc ought to all operate out of the box. If they do not, send it back! Samsung is not the very best with customer service, so I recommend dealing with Amazon initial and foremost.
