Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Widescreen, high-definition excitement is the province of Samsung's thin-profile, 1,280 x 768-resolution LT-P1795W LCD television. The 17-inch set produces strikingly clear images while occupying a minimum of space in your office, living room, bedroom, or kitchen. Its wide, 170-degree viewing angles make sure no seat is a bad seat, especially when the unit is mounted on a wall. In addition, the set connects to a personal computer through its RGB (15-pin D-Sub) input, letting you surf the web, check e-mail, or play QuickTime movies right on your television. Use the split-screen/PC PIP option to view multiple sources simultaneously.

Perfect for use with a DTV set-top box, high-definition satellite receiver, or progressive-scan DVD player, the set accepts standard-definition 480i inputs, enhanced-definition 480p signals, and full high-definition 720p and 1080i as well. The set's built-in NTSC stereo tuner is configured to receive the standard 181 channels. And with its high 600:1 contrast ratio, impressive 450 cd/m2 brightness rating, and onboard digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), the set renders sharp, focused images that look great regardless of their source.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

As with many high-quality TVs, the LT-P1795W makes flexibility a top priority, giving you several preset picture and sound modes, including custom settings for each. The TV also provides color temperature adjustment for warm, cool, or neutral tones, along with a trilingual onscreen menu. Additional features include sleep and on timers, V-Chip parental control, closed captioning, and an auto volume leveler to minimize jarring level differences between, say, programs and their commercials.

Choose one of several preset sound modes (standard, music, movie, speech, and custom) for broadcast through the built-in 3-watts-per-channel x 2 speaker system. SRS WOW technology simulates surround sound from the set's 2 speakers, while the television's MTS multichannel decoding separates audio signals for stereo reception and broadcasts a second audio program (SAP) when available for multilingual or other applications.

To connect the monitor to devices such as DTV set-top boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, game consoles, or camcorders, use the set's dual high-definition component-video inputs, S-video input, composite-video input, RF input, and the above-mentioned PC input, each with its attendant audio inputs.

Regardless of where you place your LCD TV, you'll be able to route the A/V and RF cables more neatly using the set's improved cable management system, keeping them out of sight with a hinged door.

What's in the Box
TV, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, an AC power cord, an AC power adapter, and warranty information.

This review is from: Samsung LT-P1795W 17-Inch Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

Truly excellent sound, with a variety of set-up options, and a nice, sharp, crisp picture, which can be changed easily, according to one's preference. This model has all the bells, whistles and connection options one would want. Sleek, unobtrusive design, light-weight - ideal for a bedroom or other small space. I feel I got the most bang for the buck when I purchased this set.

This review is from: Samsung LT-P1795W 17-Inch Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

This is a nice looking TV, with good picture quality (assuming good source quality). Have played games on it and watched several action type movies and have seen only one instance of ghosting. This is a smallish TV and best for a bedroom/kitchen type room. A DVI or HDMI connection would have been nice, but at the price they were offering it, it still should get 5 stars.
