Product Description
Amazon.com
The 27-inch TXN2730F uses Samsung's proprietary DynaFlat technology to provide a perfectly flat viewing surface with none of the curvature, image distortion, or detrimental glare that accompany traditional TV screens. The stereo set offers a pair of two-way, side-mounted, front-firing speakers powered by five watts per channel for spacious, full-bodied TV sound.
The DynaFlat screen brings higher resolution than that achieved by earlier-generation sets because the individual phosphor color spots (or pixels) are smaller and closer together in this configuration. The set's multiple-focus electron gun is capable of illuminating finer spots for a much more detailed picture, edge-to-edge, and it's assisted in this job by a three-line digital comb filter and velocity-scan modulation circuitry.
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.
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.
Connections include a component-video input, an S-video input, a trio of composite-video inputs (with accompanying stereo analog RCA audio inputs), an RF input (for VCR or cable box), and a set of audio/video outputs for feeding a VCR or PVR. Convenient side-panel audio/video inputs that 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 from the supplied full-function remote control. All onscreen information and menus appear in translucent overlays, letting you view video programs in the background while consulting the setup menus. Several sound mode offer dynamic audio settings for whatever you're watching; choose from standard, music, movie, speech, or custom. Virtual Dolby simulates an exciting surround effect from any two speakers, and a side-panel headphone jack allows private listening (headphones not included).

Not a TV for audiophiles (or semi-audiophiles),
By rob (somewhere in the south) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung TXN2730F 27 Inch Dynaflat TV (Electronics)
This TV looks great, both off and on. I really like it and would like to keep it, especially since I've had great experience with Samsung products previously (including years of flawless service on their TVs).
Unfortunately, the internal speakers cannot be turned off in either the "normal" or service menus, and the audio outputs are fixed-level only. What this means is, if you are planning to use the TV as a standalone cable tuner and you want to route the audio signal from cable through your stereo, you had better have a receiver with remote (which I do not have and probably will never have-- ever try to find a modern receiver with a decent phono stage for under a grand?). Otherwise you'll be getting up and down a lot to adjust for volume differences between channels and/or to mute during commercials. You would probably want to run the TV through a stereo anyway if you had the option, because as is alluded to below and elsewhere, the internal speakers really don't sound all that great. I don't expect greatness from TV speakers but these are especially anemic.

No Buyers Remorse,
By
This review is from: Samsung TXN2730F 27 Inch Dynaflat TV (Electronics)
This is a product that has given me no buyers remorse. I have buyers remorse for any large purchase I make.(I know you may be laughing at the fact that this is a large purchase for me.) I have had this TV for 2 years and have had no problems with it. My only minor complaint is that I wish the a/v jacks on the side of the TV were in the back, but a lot of people may find it more convienient this way, for all I know. Either way, I would whole-heartedly recommend this product to anyone.

Great Picture, Worst sound,
By asjr (Glendale, Az) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung TXN2730F 27 Inch Dynaflat TV (Electronics)
The picture is as clear as they come, but had I known that the sound was as bad as it is I would have bought a different tv. Other than the sound the tv is a decent buy.
