Samsung TX-R3079WH 30" Wide SlimFit HDTV with Built-In HD Tuner
Reasons To Buy & Things To Know
I wish I had the review I'm about to write available to me when I was starting my search for an HDTV.  The TV itself has a great picture (particularly on HD channels and dvd's of course), sound from tv is also very dynamic and clear.   <br /> <br />This is a \\"slimfit\\" so it does have some weight (about 120 lbs.) but it's very manageable with another person to carry.  How often are you moving your tv around anyway? Unlike most of the other LCD tv's on the market, this still has a picture tube with a glass screen.  The result?  This will outlast most (all?) LCD's which has pixels that may burn out.   <br /> <br />A couple of things to be aware of with the setup - the manual is just OK with some conflicting info. BUT - if you do the following you will be in good shape: <br /> <br />1.  Do yourself a favor and connect your cable box w/ an HDMI cable ($60 at Target).  It really simplifies things.   <br /> <br />2. ALSO (and this is my biggest gripe w/ the manual) - if you use and HDMI cable and you want to hook your dvd player and your cable reception into your stereo receiver you must do it separately (1 set of red/white audio cables from cable box AND 1 set from your dvd player) - You will not be using the \\"audio out\\" from the back of the tv.  Yes, this will take up 2 ports in your receiver that you can switch between depending on whether you are feeding your cable tv signal or a signal from your dvd player. <br /> <br />Finally (believe it or not) - Kudos to the tech that I reached at the Samung 800 number that was very competent in helping me resolve the above problem in a matter of about 20 minutes.
