Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's 27-inch TXM2798HF DynaFlat high-definition digital TV monitor offers full 1080i input capability for use with a DTV set-top box or a DVD player. The set uses a 4:3-aspect ratio DynaFlat HDTV screen with an anti-distortion, anti-glare picture tube. The Pro Chip Plus NTSC-to-480-progressive-scan line-doubling system converts incoming analog sources (VCR, cable, non-progressive-scan DVD) to a progressive-scan 480p display, eliminating conventional TV scan lines for a "flicker free" picture. Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing) converts standard analog broadcast TV signals to digital and compensates for varying signal strengths, while Defining Filter three-line combing technology removes blurred edges between colors and reduces dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line). The set also includes an Invar shadow mask for heightened contrast.
The TXM2798HF also offers 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.
Other features include two-tuner split-screen picture-in-picture, 10 watts per channel audio power (plus 25 watts for a built-in powered subwoofer), BBE high-definition sound (improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages), V-Chip parental controls, and plug-and-play setup, which uses automation and a simple menu to select the source (broadcast or cable), set the clock, and map the active channels. Inputs consist of dual DVD/DTV component-video input (Y/Pb/Pr), an RF input (for an older VCR or cable box), and three rear and one set of side audio/video inputs (including one S-video input) to accommodate a camcorder, game console, or other sources. The set comes with a universal remote control.

Great picture for smaller rooms,

This review is from: Samsung TXM2798HF 27" Neo Slim Design DynaFlat HDTV (Electronics)
Many professional reviewers of 27" high definition televisions find fault with them based on screen size. I don't agree. Many people dislike the idea of a television dominating a viewing room but still want the best picture available. This set is at the high end for a 27" HDTV with other offerings from Samsung and Zenith coming in at lower prices. The reason for the difference in cost is due to the units 3D comb filter as opposed to the others use of older 3 line digital comb filters. The difference is minor but the 3D filter does add to the picture quality by providing more perceived depth of vision. The two High Definition componet inputs are nice also, allowing for a HD tuner and progressive DVD to be connected at the same time. The other major benefit of a 27" is weight! HDTV's are heavy and this one at only 105 lbs. can still be carried by a strong individual while the larger direct view sets with their extra weight and bulk shouldn't be moved by just one person. While direct view HDTV's don't need to be professionally calibrated I did adjust mine using the "Sound and Vision Home theatre tune up" DVD and the picture was noticeably sharper.

excellent value,
By charley ireland (new orleans,la,usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung TXM2798HF 27" Neo Slim Design DynaFlat HDTV (Electronics)
The standard analog broadcast is exceptionally clear. At times, the detail appears almost digital. Star Wars, Episode II, played on my progressive scan JVC dvd player is absolutely breathtaking. And, the cost of this television was amazingly inexpensive. I , being a cheap yet persnickity person, am very pleased.

A good set with problems,

This review is from: Samsung TXM2798HF 27" Neo Slim Design DynaFlat HDTV (Electronics)
I'm giving this set the benefit of the doubt to award it 3 stars. It does have a very good picture (although white objects on black backgrounds shimmer slightly, even with progressive scan and 3/2 pulldown) and is relatively inexpensive given its features. My only complaints about features are that it doesn't allow you to turn off velocity scan modulation and it doesn't have an input for the upcoming digital DVD interface. Even without these features, it is a bargain. Nevertheless, I have a major problem with my set. It has a plastic case that expands and contracts with even minor changes in temperature to produce popping sounds that are quite loud (like a loud finger snap). Since we have the set in our bedroom and the popping can persist for serveral hours after it is turned off, it continually wakes us up. Samsung's service representative in our area said they couldn't do anything about it. My set also came with a nick in the power cord and Samsung told me my only recourse was to send it back to Amazon.com! It took over a month for the set to arrive after I ordered it, so I didn't want to suffer through the turnaround. Note: the top of the set is steeply angled downward toward the back--it doesn't have a flat surface to put your center channel speaker on if you have a surround system. If you don't have an entertainment center with room for a speaker or a speaker stand, you will have to rig something up. Note: the 2796 model has a different case. Bottom line: your set may have problems and Samsung will not go out of its way to help.
