Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The 16-inch stereo TXN1634F is tiny enough for a bedroom but good enough--with its 500 lines of horizontal resolution--for center stage in a miniature home theater, provided you're channeling your DVD or satellite audio through a stereo or surround receiver and speaker system. The set's DynaFlat anti-glare, dark-tint picture tube offers a high-contrast image free of geometric distortions and picture-marring ambient-light reflections.
For bedroom or kitchen use, the TXN1634F sports a pair of side-mounted, front-firing speakers powered by 2.5 watts per channel, and several sound mode offer dynamic audio settings for whatever you're watching: choose from standard, music, movie, or speech. A side-panel stereo headphone jack allows private listening (headphones not included), and Turbo Sound boosts high and low frequencies for a livelier experience.
Four presets video settings optimize the picture for the type of program you're watching. Select from standard, natural, mild, or custom, with user-adjustable brightness, contrast, sharpness, color, and tint. The TXN1634F's digital comb filter enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped t-shirt).
A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow, each hole in the sheet corresponding to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing in a brighter, clearer picture.
If you're clicker-happy, you'll love the unit's full-function remote control and the delightful Remote Surf Timer, which returns the set to your original channel in a timely fashion so you can freely browse other channels during commercial breaks.
Connections include a DVD-ready component-video input (480i), two composite-video/stereo analog audio jacks, and an RF input (for an older VCR or cable box). Convenient side-panel AV inputs foster hookups with camcorders and gaming consoles while preserving the set's uncluttered silver front panel.
A zoom screen-filling option lets you customize the view of letter-boxed DVDs right from the remote. Other handy features include auto station setting (with non-volatile backup memory to retain your settings during power outages), on and off timers, and a self-diagnostic mode to assist with setup.

The picture was disappointing right out the box and still is,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung TXN1634F 16" Flat-Screen TV (Electronics)
When I first turned this Samsung on, my nephew, who had helped me lift it to the top of a chest of drawers in the bedroom, commented how poor the picture was. Being 58, I was reluctant to agree with a 23-year-old about the product of a carefully researched purchase, but he was right. The whites were blooming. The picture was fuzzy and had a purple cast. I wanted a larger set to replace a 13" set in the bedroom. The 16" Samsung seemed the perfect in-between size, being 3" narrower than a 20" set and having a flat screen. Its size allowed room for a DVD-VCR combo along side it on the chest of drawers. Over the past few weeks, I have fiddled with the contrast, brightness, sharpness, color, and tint, and have made the picture more tolerable. Unfortunately, I have two Sony sets (13" and 32") and, no matter what I do, I can't get the Samsung to look anywhere near as good as the Sony sets. On the Samsung, the dark scenes are still too dark, detail is lost in the shadows. The picture looks too flat without definition. The skin tones are rarely correct. Right now, I'm trying to figure a way to add 3" to the top of the chest of drawers so I can accommodate a Sony KV-20FS100 for $260.

Perfect size, poor quality control,
This review is from: Samsung TXN1634F 16" Flat-Screen TV (Electronics)
I bought this from a local big box electronics store. Unfortunately, the first one had some major colour purity problems. I exchanged it and the replaceent is adequate in all respects. The picture is pretty sharp. Lack of S-Video input and RCA audio outputs (especially the S-Video input) is a major disadvantage. Remote isn't universal, and is ugly looking; but button layout is good. Colour on replacement set is very good with substantial adjustment (as most sets are if adjusted properly), geometry is adequate, and convergance is acceptable. Component input looks good for my PS2, but lack of S-Video input is quite irritating as I don't have a GameCube composite cable and there is no component cable for the Nintendo 64.
Not a sparkling review, especially for such an expensive set, huh? But where this TV really shines is it's size - it's perfect for where a 20" is just too big but a 14" is a little too small. Such as a bedroom, dorm room, etc. I just wish some companies other than Samsung made this size.

This review is from: Samsung TXN1634F 16" Flat-Screen TV (Electronics)
Installing a JVC N40-BK DVD player, I found that a 14 year old Sharp 13" color TV lacked the connections, so this model topped my comparison of the 14-19" category. Stereo speakers do not sound tinny, and the picture quality is great! We did discover that the colors changed during "Finding Nemo" but found the cause to be video cables not pushed in completely. My only complaint remains with the shipper(s)as the top of the plastic housing had buckled in transit, but loosening the cover screws, we fixed that. Later comparison of larger sets finds me placing this set above the majority of those for price and features. Cable connections are very tight, so be sure the cables are completely pushed on, since they can feel secure without making good contact. This is a great set for a small room.
