While a little pricey consider what you get with this set. 4000 to 1 contrast ratio, 2 HDMI inputs and 450 brightness. This TV also includes a QAM tuner which will pickup non scrambled HD and Digital cable channels without a cable box of any kind. Worth the money. Did I mention the picture is amazing?

This is truly an outstanding TV. It's probably the best 23" LCD TV on the market. A friend of mine has the "better" Samsung LN-T2353H TV and I think the picture looks just as good on mine. I bet they have the same display panel, just different cases and little features. Besides, this TV is cooler looking than the 53 series anyway, especially with the speakers on the side and no weird bulge underneath. It is an easy TV to get set up: just get it on the stand; plug in your devices; plug it in; and go! One thing that I've seen some people complain about is the quality of Standard Definition (480i) images. The issue here is that the contrast is simply set too high. The default setting is 100 (all the way up). Lower the contrast a bit and adjust the brightness to your liking for SDTV viewing and you'll be just fine. It even remembers different settings for different inputs, you can have have the contrast way up high for your DVDs and lower for your SDTV and the TV will retain your settings (which is very nice; my old TV did not do this). The built in speakers are nice, but are no match for a true Component Home Theater system. They're great with HDMI though, because of the excellent quality of digital audio. The TV has a melody feature which plays a little beeping sound when you turn it on. This is definitely going to be a love it or hate it type of thing, but the good news is that you can turn it off. The TV also has no lights that display while viewing it. There is a stand by light, but this only goes on when the TV is off. To sum it up - this is a spectacular TV with great features and that is easy to use with great manuals and directions. Do yourself a favor, buy it. I've done the research, and it's the best TV you're going to find in the 20-26" HDTV, 450-650 Dollar Range. You'll love it - my whole family does.

I LOVE this TV. The picture is the best I have seen on any LCD tv for this price. I love the jingle it plays when it turns on and off (although if it annoys you, you can disable it) The picture is clear and the colors pop really nicly. The speakers are good, but I use my surround sound rather than this set's speakers. But I did try them once and they sounded good. So to make a long story short. Buy this TV!

Just got it all setup as a monitor for my laptop, HDTV Tuner on Rabiit ears, and Display for Dish network reciever and my media center laptop. Everything has worked just as expected. Picture is beautiful. I thought $549 was a great price for a great product. Try it!

Highs - I did a lot of research and thought this was a pretty quality LCD for the money. It looks great aesthetically and has great picture quality. I used super saver shipping which is supposed to take 1-2 weeks and it arrived in 3 days. I've had the TV about a month and have had no problems thus far.

Lows - The glossy black finish looks great but shows dust something terrible. I feel like I should dust it every day.

The packaged showed up quickly. Installation was easy. It picked up the HD channels from Comcast (without having their digital cable box). Its light-weight and looks good. Can show dust easily. On one or two occasions I have powered the TV up and it made a pop sound, but its very rare and hasn't happened for a while. I hooked up my Playstation 2 through composite video cables and the picture looked good except for some color offset (there is like a pink glow off the right of some objects, but maybe there's a color setting that can fix this)

All in all a great LCD for the price. It's just the right size for a bedroom.

I bought this TV because it was a trusted name brand, had HDMI ports and supported PIP. I was just hoping it'd be serviceable as a dorm-room television in college.

I was pleasantly surprised with the rich picture A/V cables produced from by PS3, let alone the HDMI cable. The picture is beautiful and the sound is surprisingly powerful from a small source.

The TV looks much more elegant in person than on a computer, also. It's sleek black finish mirrors my PS3's.

I couldn't be happier.

Like the other reviewers stated, this set is pricey, but has a fantastic picture quality. Factory setting for picture and sound is not the best, I recommend fine tuning the set for picture and sound.

With the sound, the TV has a sound equalizer that on my set I adjust it to the max, and it dramatically improved the bass and treble tones.

My old VHS and DVD's look fantastic too!

Very nice picture, menu a bit involved, but fairly easy to navigate.
Amazon also had the lowest price I could find.

Great TV! We really like the picture quality and the features are all really easy to use. Easy set up and exceptional quality.
