Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Designed for maximum versatility, the Samsung LTN1765 LCD TV has an internal 181-channel NTSC TV tuner and external jacks so you can hook up nearly any source, from an HDTV receiver to a DVD player, satellite system, gaming console, or other component. And because it's fully digital, you can even use the set as a high-resolution PC monitor, taking advantage of the iPC picture-in-picture feature to keep an eye on video source while you get more info or write e-mail online.

"HDTV capable" means this model accepts 480p and 1080i signals from an external digital set-top box or satellite receiver. Its native SXGA image quality, at 1,280 x 1,024, exceeds 720p resolution and is enhanced by a high (400:1) contrast ratio, an exceptional peak brightness of 350 candles/square meter, and wide (150-degrees vertical x 120-degrees horizontal) viewing angles. Its lamp life is rated a 60,000 hours for years of entertainment.

The monitor sports stereo speakers with three watts audio power per channel, and Virtual Dolby Surround is there to simulate spacious surround effects from just two speakers. For connections, you get a pair of high-definition progressive-scan component-video inputs, an interlaced (480i) component-video input, and one each composite-video, S-video, and 15-pin D-Sub RGB video for a computer (with accompanying stereo analog RCA audio input). A headphone jack fosters private listening, and the set is stand or wall mountable with VESA standard mounting holes (the WMTL1700 mounting kit is optional).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not perfect!, May 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Samsung LTN1765X/XAA 17-Inch LCD Tv (Electronics)

I did a pretty thorough research on 17" and 20" LCD TVs. Like the Samsung LTN1735, it is a very nice TV. However, I'd prefer 1735 than this one because you can't make it sit straight up--it inlcines backward---like the Sharp E1U or EsomethingU. When I sit on the sofa to watch TV (I am a short person) I have to raise my head all the time.
My ranking according to my personal preference of the 17" 20" LCD TVs are as follows:
1. Samsung LTN
2. Sharp Aquos B4U
3. Toshiba
4. Dell 1700 / Batesias VMT201
5. Sharp E1U
Haven't tried others. There certainly are better ones out there and you just need to do a little research
Some people don't like the Batesias for its average PC pic. But I feel OK. But ultimately wife bought the LTN 1765...personal preference!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing picture quality, August 14, 2004

This review is from: Samsung LTN1765X/XAA 17-Inch LCD Tv (Electronics)

First, a correction - the above reviewer has mentioned that this monitor cannot be set straight up and is angled backwards. This is not correct. The screen can be set vertical and can swivel back to about 15 degrees.

I researched every tv/monitor of this type and size on the internet and settled on this model. However, I ended up returning my first piece to Amazon and am in the process of returning its replacement too. The picture quality on the first one was pretty bad. The lower half of the screen was very fuzzy (both in the TV and PC monitor modes) and the colors bled. The replacement was sharper, but the colors are all off (too green and bright). I painstakingly spent 2 hours trying to tweak everything very late at night(that's when some TV stations broadcast their color test pattern that you ideally need to use), but have not been able to elimate its green cast.

The set looks very sleek but of what use is it if it doesn't deliver in the picture quality department? Pass on this one. Amazon has been extemely easy to work with on these returns, but buy one locally if you must so that the process is faster.
