4.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as my Panasonic CT34WX50, June 1, 2003
This review is from: Samsung TXM3098HF 30" Widescreen Neo Slim DynaFlat HDTV (Electronics)
Major drawbacks on this product (versus the Panasonic widescreen 34 inch, CT34WX50, which I also own) include 1) When switched on, the television defaults to "WIDE" viewing mode, which is fine for anamorhphic DVDs but is not appropriate for watching any other source, where "PANORAMA" OR "ZOOM" are better choices. The previous viewing mode choice is not saved once the TV is switched off. 2) There is no "AUTO" mode, where the TV automatically adjusts the aspect ratio as different programs alternate between widescreen and 4:3 formats. 3)There is no leeway to fine tune the aspect ratio in ZOOM or WIDE formats.
The picture quality itself is beautiful, particularly in HDTV and EDTV (DVD source).
