Samsung Tantus TXN2798HF 27" HD-Ready TV with DynaFlat Screen
Good entry level HDTV ready television.
I purchased this television primarily to enjoy my DVDs and Xbox in progressive scan mode.    It has good features at an affordable price point.   I'm not yet ready to invest in a high cost plasma or LCD unit as I believe those technologies will come down significantly in price within the next few years.   A CRT based system was the reasonable choice for me.<br />It is a 4x3 CRT television, but the 16x9 widescreen squeeze works quite well and about equivalent to a 24&quot; widescreen.   <br />The picture is extremely clear at 480p and has the clarity of a computer monitor at 1080i.  It does not have the ability to produce 720p, which is the only negative I have for this model.   However, all OTA signals I've received and other digital sources, 1080i has always been supported.<br />I went ahead and bought a Samsung STB (T351) to enjoy &quot;off the air&quot; DTV signals as well.   It does require a Set Top Box or some other digital source since it does not have a built in tuner.  You can't expect a set in this price range to include this, nor is it really necessary if you are just wanted progressive scan ability.<br />If you're looking to purchase a CRT based television these days, there is no reason not to purchase an HDTV ready-set.  This will extend it's usefulness as we approach the 2006 HDTV roll-out here in the U.S.<br />I've been very happy with this television and have a new found respect for Samsung.   Only wish I had purchased it sooner.  The DVDs are so vibrant and much improved in quality.  The Xbox is wonderful in 480p.   <br />Also, just to clarify an issue from another reviewer, this does indeed have a DVI-D input on it.    It's in the PDF manual and its definitely on the set itself.   Be sure to read the PDF link to learn more.
