Samsung TXM2796HF 27" DynaFlat HDTV
Great to get your feet wet with HDTV
This HDTV set is fairly new and [the price is right]. I have been very happy for the most part. The color is excellent and the flat screen continues to amaze me. The HDTV set is a reality and the time to get one is now...if you have a HD tuner! I use Dish Network and get 3 HD signals (Shotime, HBO, CBS, plus HDTV demo) thru satellite. Watching CBS college football on saturday is amazing and worth the price. This set does not have all the bells and whistles so some of the decoding functions must be done by the HD receiver and the bottom of the picture will tend to be slightly disrupted at time. Its not annoying, but the first hour or so you will notice it.<BR>Color is great and there are plenty of preset adjustments for sound, color and any other function you could use. This thing weighs a ton for a 27 inch TV. I had my old 27 mounted up high in the bedroom and this baby weighs more than twice as much, so have someone help you put this in.<BR>Connectivity is good. there are plenty of componet/composite connectors, but only one S-Video connector on the side. Progressive scan DVD is almost a neccesity now.<BR>I would say if you want to try an HDTV and not break the bank this is a good start. Of the comparable 27\\" I liked this best. Plus the case is \\"traditional\\" black. I'm not ready for a silver tv just yet.
