This is a nice set for a small area, such as a kitchen or bath, or small bedroom. Picture appears excellent, depending on the source channel. It auto-tuned all of the analog & digital channels from Comcast, and filtered out the scrambled (premium) channels. The set displays guide information (channel name, program) for many of the digital channels, but not the analog channels. The included stand can be rotated to 90 degrees and used as a wall mount, or a standard VESA mount (separately purchased) may be used. Changes channels quite fast.

The biggest annoyance is the relatively tinny sound, followed by the 9-10 second power-on time. There's a fair bit of tweaking room on the sound menu, but the low end isn't quite as full as one would like for a set listened to from a distance. The sound weakness was the main factor in dropping my rating to 4 stars.

There aren't many options for a small *white* television set. I might have considered Sharp but their 19-inch white set has been discontinued. All in all, it's a decent set with a few shortcomings.

I'm really happy with this TV. I purchased it for a bedroom to match the light decor. It's lightweight, takes up very little space and looks sleek and modern. Attachments are included for wall mounting if you choose. Set up was fast and easy. When you turn it on, the TV automatically scans for available channels. The sharp, bright display impressed me, as well as the multitude of options to adjust color, brightess, backlighting, skin tone, and many more image and sound adjustment features. My bedroom gets lots of sunlight and the "dynamic" color feature makes it easy to see the screen, even with full mid-day sun. The sound is just fine for a set of this size. The rear panel has connections for headphones, cameras, camcorders, DVD players, Blue-ray, VCR, PC and home audio systems. I tried it with my camera and video camera and it worked beautifully. It also connects with your computer to use as a monitor. The remote control is a nice size and easy to use. It also includes a soft fabric cloth to keep the screen dust-free. All in all, I found this to be an high quality, versatile flat-screen at a great price. 5 stars!

I bought this TV because the Samsung brand has started to grow on me, you get what you payfor over some of the less well known brands which lack picture quality over this one. The inputs on this tv are great with an hdmi and pc vga input over the standard inputs you'd expect. The styling is great as well. When in doubt you can use it as a computer monitor and tv for a bedroom and save the space of having both.

The Samsung LN19B361 (white) fit my requirements for a tv to use in the kitchen, namely one that took up a small amount of counter space and that was white to to blend in with the counter tops and cabintery. The picture is excellent (I use a cable tv signal), but the sound is a little "thin", yet acceptable. Given the small size of the unit, I guess one can't expect robust audio reproduction. The remote control (also white) has all of the controls one expects and is easy to navigate through the various menus. The design of the TV is pleasing - clean and streamilined. My one negative comment is that the power cord is black. Why couldn't Samsung provide a white power cord with a white tv? Amazon's price was very competitive and its standard shipping was very fast. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

This TV was very easy to set-up with all features easy to access and understand. Picture quality ranges from good to marginal, never excellent. The main problem is a somewhat weak washed-out picture which lacks color depth and brightness. No amount of adjustment entirely solves the problem. Also, the sound is weak and cheap sounding which can be anoying. These problems could be typical of a small set.

I've come to expect great products from Samsung, partially because their products are priced more than the average company. Over the years, I've bought purchased many of their products, and only one has failed me. This TV is not that one. It is a wonderful product which has once again built up Samsung's credibility in my eyes. The picture is great. The sound is almost perfect (some channels aren't as loud as others and even on max, you won't be able to stray too far from it) and it has the ability to serve as a monitor for your computer and viewing space for console video games.

I wanted a small TV for the bedroom so I wouldn't have to use my boyfriend's obnoxiously huge gaming TV to play my Wii. His TV stretches and blurs the crap out of everything that isn't Blu-ray. I had to request a replacement when the first TV I received had a faulty stand that wouldn't adjust properly. It was stuck in the wall mounting position when I wanted to set it on my dresser. My boyfriend unscrewed the attachment to discover the mechanism was broken. If the stand doesn't adjust when you are pressing the button in back, the mechanism is broken so don't force it.

This 19" Samsung flatscreen is a great little bathroom or kitchen television. I'm amazed that the picture "with rabbit ears only" rivals the picture on our 47" Samsung connected to a fiber optic cable. I am able to receive 8 channels with no cable connection. Seller delivered quickly with no problems.

The product arrived brand new in factory sealed box. This shipment was lightning fast for a trekiee and much appreciated. I would recommend Amazon to anyone looking to buy electronics.

We purchased this TV for our bar in the kitchen and we love it. I also bought an articulating wall mount from Amazon, so it's mounted under our top kitchen cabinets and can be pulled away from the wall and swiveled. This little TV is as clear as my 40" Samsung 1080P HD that's in our living room.We are amazed at the picture coming from this thing!The remote is also white and is made to sit on the bar angled slightly forward and sturdy enough that you can push buttons without flipping it on it's side.I hated our old remote cause it was rounded on the bottom and you had to pick it up to operate it.The sound is only average, but we are sitting within 6 feet of it most of the time.I highly recommend this TV.
