Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The 20-inch monaural TXN2020 is small 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 dark-tint picture tube offers solid colors and high contrast, with minimum light reflections.

For bedroom or kitchen use, the TXN2020 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 monaural earphone jack allows private listening (headphones not included).

The TXN2020'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).

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 two composite-video/mono analog audio jacks and an RF input (for an older VCR or cable box). Convenient side-panel audio/video 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.

TV, full-function remote control, remote batteries, user's manual.

2.0 out of 5 stars unfixable problem!, November 4, 2003

This TV has a misaligned picture tube! It is not fixable. We were unable to reach Samsung by any means to have them rectify the problem; we could only return it, which we will as soon as our next one arrives. We are very disappointed, although the picture quality is excellent and it's probably a great TV, but this is a manufacturing defect that spoils the TV's good qualities. And Samsung's unavailability only compounds the problem. Next TV: not a Samsung!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't plan on watching any wide-screen movies, November 5, 2003

I was so excited to receive this TV. Samsung has always been a good brand for me so I assumed this TV would be no different. Sadly, when I began to view a wide-screen formatted dvd, I noticed that the black bars that run across the top and bottom of the screen were misaligned--they tilted down towards the right. First I thought it was me, perhaps I was too tired from a long day and my eyes were playing tricks on me, but then I asked my friends to take a look and sure enough, they all agreed it was misaligned. My hope is that Amazon will take care of the refund and the shipping costs back to them, as a defective product should not be sold to trusting customers (I now see that another purchaser reported the same issue). Why isn't this product being pulled? Furthermore, why has the price gone up another 10 dollars from when I bought it?

5.0 out of 5 stars Wha?, December 23, 2003

I just got this TV today and am surprised to hear that some people have had problems with the widescreen alignment as I have found this product to be a very excellent TV with great picture quality and features. I haven't noticed any of the problems listed by the other reviewers thus far, and I just finished watching the extended version of my Fellowship of the Ring dvd, which is widescreen. The picture was perfectly aligned and fantastically clear. The colors really stand out much more than on my 10 year old previous television and far surpassing any TV I've ever owned. The zoom feature also allows for a bigger picture on widescreen format movies. I would definitely return this TV if I'd noticed any alignment problem, but as it is I'm very pleased with it.
