Samsung TX-R2779H 27" SlimFit HDTV w/ Built-In HD Tuner
Nice Design & Features
Recently purchased this TV through Circuit City for around $550. The TV has a great design and looks very modern. The TV has quite a few inputs on the rear panel, including HDMI (1), Component Video (2), and S-Video (1). A huge selling point for me on this TV was the HDMI input, since many newer products (Sony DVP-NS90V DVD player with upscaling) have HDMI outputs. Setup was just as easy as with any other television. Upon first turning the TV on, a guide helps you set up the TV by asking you what language, time zone, type of cable, etc. <br /> <br />Overall, I have yet to find one thing that genuinely bothers me about the television. The only small complaint I have is that the speakers aren't as bassy as I'd like, but I guess they make surround sound and stereo systems with subwoofers for that. Coming from an old TV from like 1993, this TV is simply fantastic. Once again, a huge selling point is the HDMI input - a feature you don't see on pretty much any lower-end HDTV. <br /> <br />The controller is nice. The only complaint I have about it is that I tend to hit the arrow keys instead of the channel up/down buttons. On the bottom of the controller are four \\"quick access\\" type buttons that allow you to perform quick changes, such as changing the picture from normal to zoomed 1, zoomed 2, or 16:9 aspect (first button)...changing the picture mode from standard to dynamic, movie, or custom (second button)...changing the sound from standard to music, movie, speech, and custom (third button)...and access your self-programmed favorite channels. <br /> <br />I would give this television an overall rating of 8.5 or 9 out of 10. It was an excellent buy for the $550 I paid for it.
