8ms Response
One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 8ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

5.0 out of 5 stars ...then Goldilocks said, "This one is just right.", August 11, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Samsung LN22B360 22-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I originally bought the LN22B350, the latest unit in this series, but had to return it. You can read my review on it, but in short, it was because despite the literature stating that it has one composite AND one component input, it actually should read one composite OR one component. You could only use one or the other because they share the video input jack. So, after viewing an actual image of the input panel on this unit, I took a baby step back and ordered the B360.

Wait a minute! Amazon gave me a backhanded "upgrade" by erroneously shipping the LN22A450. The 4 series is better than the 3 series, but the A series is older than the B series. They were willing to let me keep it, but after doing a little bit of research I found that the technology has leapt forward since it was made. Among other things, it had only a 3000:1 contrast ratio whereas this one has 15,000:1. These days there's little difference between the massive numbers spun out by manufacturers unless you're in a high tech calibration setting, but when you talking one that low, it's not a good thing. So, one more swap and I got the LN22B360.

I really like this set. Unless you're an audiophile, there's not a single thing wrong with the sound. There are different settings and a bit of an equalizer to customize, and at the level of 44, the volume is excellent. People just need to understand that no manufacturer is going to put high end audio in a unit at this price point. The 22-inch set is not the one you want to pay $500 for, or should need that kind of audio. You're not going to get a lot of the bells and whistles you get with the bigger sets because that's not what people are using their small TVs for.

So after one that was too new for my old equipment, and one that was too old for the new technology, this one is just right. I chose Samsung for the on/off timer, of which this unit has three, and the options there are better than expected--select all days, weekdays, weekends, etc. The set-up was easy, the remote balanced (though no back light), buttons are a good size and arranged fairly intelligently. The smaller screen makes the 720p and 60hz non-issues. Since I don't pay for premium services, it was nice to see several channels airing in HD without a converter box. And on the down-low, I'm getting intermittent On Demand broadcasts, though I do wish whoever ordered them would take fewer potty breaks. Too much pausing and rewind. LOL!

I'm very satisfied with this purchase and hope to buy its big brother (46") in the future after I'm sure Samsung is the way to go (and I think it is).

UPDATE 12/22/09 -- Just wanted to add that I'm still liking this TV. It completely meets my needs and expectations, although the On Demand feed stopped, darn it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Their Getting Better All The Time, March 26, 2009

This review is from: Samsung LN22B360 22-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I'm not very good at the specifics, But I just had to be the first to say this is an excellent LCD. I Replaced my 19' Samsung with this 21' & I've been Impressed by the picture. The much needed improvements needed over the LN19A450 were very much needed.
This is a third gen LCD; sound is a little better with adjustments, but still the same speakers (Use Exteral Speakers), picture is much better & with the adustable backlight feature makes the picture a much deeper, richer screen to view. It has all the hookups you'll need Except it only has 1-HDMI input. The Price is Right & Shipping is Free.

5.0 out of 5 stars too many sound complaints, June 9, 2009

This review is from: Samsung LN22B360 22-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I got this T.V. off amazon in march and I've had it for a little more than two weeks. I am very impressed with the product; it is a great T.V. for my ROOM, which is why I can't understand the problems people are having with the sound. First of all, the T.V. has good sound for one that is more suited for a bedroom (not a master sized); I don't believe it's best suited for either the kitchen or living room (both too big). If you are that concerned about the sound, you can just plug in some computer speakers in the headphone jack for some richer sound, samsung didn't just build that in the set to make it look pretty. And if you're looking for a more expensive solution, then there's always digital audio. It's silly to expect that you're going to get the same kind of sound from a 22' inch that you would get on a 32' inch or larger. But everyone seems to agree that it has an excellent picture; images are clear and crisp, even in standard definition. Don't be influenced by the "bad sound" comments, it's a good buy.
