Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's HDTV-ready 27-inch TXM2796HF brings high-quality images and sound to any room in the house. It features up to 800 lines of horizontal resolution, a three-line digital comb filter that keeps edges sharp and minimizes dot drawl, and display output for 1080i or 480p modes. The flat screen produces distortion- and glare-free images that are visible from a wider viewing angle than traditional curved-screen TVs.
The TXM2796HF offers Samsung's Digital Pro Picture three-stage video processing system that produces a high-performance picture from both analog and digital sources. The Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing) improves analog to digital signal processing, the Pro Chip Plus converts all analog signals to the better flicker-free progressive scan, and the three-line digital comb filter analyzes multiple lines of picture information to minimize edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. This set also features an Invar shadow mask (an alloy material used to attain better focus and brightness consistency) and velocity scan modulation, which sharply defines edges and outlines by controlling the speed of transitions between the black and white portions of the signal.
It has a built-in 181-chanel NTSC tuner that receives MTS and SAP stereo broadcasts. Its built-in speakers have 10 watts of power apiece and it features a headphone jack on the side of the set. The Turbo sound function emphasizes the bass and treble frequencies to add fullness to the sound. Two component-video inputs allow you to connect an optional HDTV receiver or a source with component-video outputs. It also has 4 composite A/V inputs (3 rear, 1 side), 1 A/V output, 1 S-video input (side), and 2 RF inputs (rear).
Tech Talk
Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.
Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display.

5.0 out of 5 stars
HDTV, Wow!,
This review is from: Samsung TXM2796HF 27" DynaFlat HDTV (Electronics)
I got this TV for a great price, and it never ceases to amaze. The screen has to be seen to be believed, and with its component video compatability, my dvd player is showing me things I've never seen.If you haven't done any research, you can usually expect to pay upwards of [$$$] for any HDTV. This samsung is a hot steal, it just came out in july 2002, and its already been marked down so much. It also has an s-video cord, which I have hooked up to my playstation 2. You can tell the difference between the regular hook-up and the s-video, its quality. What may amaze people the most is the brand. No, this is not Sony's latest scheme, even though I've heard that Sony was the first to make HDTVs. No this is Samsung, who has been catching up in the electronic race lately. They came out with 3 "mass-market" HDTVs, a 27", 30", and a 32". I found the best price on the 27" obviously. Another great feature is the side-panel outputs, this is great if someone comes over with an x-box or something, you don't have to mess with your configuration in the back, just plug em into the side. If you like a sharp picture, do yourself a favor and get this TV now. Its the cheapest HDTV on the market, but the quality shines through.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Quality and Value,
By Jorge A Martinez (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung TXM2796HF 27" DynaFlat HDTV (Electronics)
I've had this set for a few months now and honestly have no complaints. I'm an avid gamer who owns a Gamecube, a PS2, and an X-Box. And while the PS2 looks decent on the set,its the Gamecube and most definately the X-Box that makes this set shine. At this time far too few Tv stations broadcast in HD, so its external devices like DVD Players and videogame consoles that validate an HDTV purchase for most people. At this set delivers it has 3 AV inputs, 1 S-Video input, and 2 Component inputs. Its really those last 2 that matter as their necessary for a high definition display. The picture quality is excellent, as far as people complining about the contrast or color thats what the custom settings are for obviously. Also the image tilting that others complain about is due to the earths magnetic field and can be rectified through use of the "tilt" option found at the bottom of the picture menu under "p-Function".Im not a videophile Im just a gamer who knows what looks good. And for this price you cannot go wrong.

This is a great set.,
By James R. Dillard (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung TXM2796HF 27" DynaFlat HDTV (Electronics)
I am a broadcast engineer for a FOX affiliate in Georgia, so I have seen quite a few monitors in my day. This set, is not for the large room,..but for quality of picture in normal broadcast, and definitely for High-Definition, it has few peers for quality. Also, I have one in our lobby, as a show piece, with our affiliates sound and picture, 24 hours a day, seven days a week since January 13, 2002, without so much as a hiccup, and zero upkeep. I have broadcast monitors in master control, that I wish were that good. (I also bought another one for my home in May 2003.) Its that good.
