Samsung LTN1785W 17-Inch LCD Flat-Panel TV
Sound shortcomings
This TV is a decent device but a little overpriced for what you get. <br />My number one gripe with this TV has to do with the sound quality. The standard built-in speaker does not offer the clarity and crispness of the ordinary 10 year-old tube TV that it replaced.  <br />The other annoyance has to do with the short muscial tone it plays every time the TV is turned on or off. It gets old fast.<br />My third peeve is with the monitor's on/off indicator light. When the TV is turned off, a red LED light glows red, and when the TV is on, the LED light disappears which is the total opposite way that I would have designed it to function.<br />On other hand, the picture quality for regular cable-TV channels/broadcast TV is good to very good, depending on the channel. <br />The HDTV option is a little awkward to work and not worth the trouble due to the limited number of HDTV channels available in NYC.<br />Bottom line, is I love the thinness of the TV but the speaker system needs improvement.
