Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For anyone looking for a great value on a smaller 720p HDTV, Samsung's 2007 model LNT2642H 26-inch flat-panel LCD is an excellent choice. As Samsung's entry level 26-inch LCD, it offers a 4000:1 contrast ratio, a 160-degree viewing angle, an 8ms response time panel, 2 HDMI inputs, and SRS TruSurroundXT from two side speakers.

High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

• Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
• TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
• The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

Connections:

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 2
• RF in 2
• Component (Y/Pb/Pr) in 2
• S-Video input 2(1 side/1 rear)
• A/V input 2(1 side/1 rear)
• PC input 1
• Headphone jack 1

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV, April 25, 2007

I own this TV along with the Samsung 32" that has 7000:1 contrast ratio. This TV has 4000:1 contrast ratio and is just as good that the 32" with the higher ratio. I am thoroughly enjoying this TV. For the price, this TV is inexpensive that has GREAT quality. Samsung has the LCD technology on lock. This is truly a bang for your buck! Has one of the best pictures I've seen compared to most LCD televisions.

4.0 out of 5 stars 26" or 23"? 42H or 53H?, August 29, 2007

This review is from: Samsung LNT2642H 26-Inch LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I've never been a fan of Samsung products, but they've cornered the market on flat panels so well that my college uses them exclusively. So when our bedroom 19" GE tube model finally bit the dust, it made sense to pick up one of these. When this 42H 26" arrived, I realized it tended to overwhelm the room. For less than a hundred more you can get the 53H 26", which isn't a newer model but a slightly trimmer and more stylish one (as a result of placing the speakers in the bottom, several inches are trimmed off the sides). I decided those few inches still wouldn't pare it down sufficiently, so I went to the 23", which also gives you an option between the side-firing speakers (42H) or bottom ones (53H). Since the frame is thinner on the 53H model, the viewing area "seems" almost as large as the 26" 42H model. Also, the 53H models shave off several pounds, a happy thought when you have a double staircase to climb. On the other hand, if you're fussy about proportioned images and plan to watch television signals in normal 4:3 ratio rather than the wide-screen 16:9, by all means go with the larger set. Even at 26", the actual viewing area in 4:3 ratio won't be much larger than a conventional 20" screen. (Viewers who insist that the set can faithfully render a 4:3 image in widescreen ratio simply don't have an eye for symmetry and proportion. Personally I can tolerate the mildly misshapen figures; my wife, a mathematician, cannot, so the sides of the screen remain unlit.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV for a smaller area!, November 6, 2007

I was in the process of looking for a nice LCD TV and came across this one at a price I just couldnt pass up. The image is great. 5000:1 contrast ratio in my opinion is great for a $500-$800 tv. The picture quality is amazing. I have my PS3 hooked up via HDMI at 1080i and I love it.

Pros: price; great tv for a smaller room. Picture quality is extremely sharp. Sound is very good for small tv speakers (audio out is also included on this tv) Lots of inputs including 2 HDMI and 1 PC Input. Internal HD Tuner is a plus. I received about 5 digital channels over my basic cable.

Cons:So far I have not been able to get the Picture in Picture to work. Havent played much with it yet so it could just be my error. I know the PIP will not work with cable/cable but to my understanding it should work with cable/other input.

Overall I would definately reccomend this tv for someone that is looking at their first HDTV or someone who is looking for another HD set for their home.
