Samsung TXN2730F 27 Inch Dynaflat TV
Not a TV for audiophiles (or semi-audiophiles)
This TV looks great, both off and on. I really like it and would like to keep it, especially since I've had great experience with Samsung products previously (including years of flawless service on their TVs).  <br /> <br />Unfortunately, the internal speakers cannot be turned off in either the \\"normal\\" or service menus, and the audio outputs are fixed-level only. What this means is, if you are planning to use the TV as a standalone cable tuner and you want to route the audio signal from cable through your stereo, you had better have a receiver with remote (which I do not have and probably will never have-- ever try to find a modern receiver with a decent phono stage for under a grand?). Otherwise you'll be getting up and down a lot to adjust for volume differences between channels and/or to mute during commercials.  <br /> <br />You would probably want to run the TV through a stereo anyway if you had the option, because as is alluded to below and elsewhere, the internal speakers really don't sound all that great. I don't expect greatness from TV speakers but these are especially anemic.
