Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy gloriously detailed images and rich, spacious sound from one surprisingly compact 27-inch television. The TXN2775HF 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. Hook the set up with any DTV set-top box or progressive-scan DVD player to take full advantage of its high resolution and picture-enhancing technologies.

The 800-line 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 illuminates finer spots for a 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.

Another set of image improvements is wrapped into Samsung's Pro Picture three-stage video correction: Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing), Pro Chip Plus (converts all interlaced analog signals to superior, flicker-free progressive scan images), and the above-mentioned three-line digital comb filter (which analyzes multiple lines of picture information to better minimize edge image artifacts while improving transition detail).

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.

The TXN2775HF performs 3:2 pulldown detection, a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video 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.

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 DVR or VCR. 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 letterboxed DVDs from the supplied remote control, while screen-capture picture freezing lets you view still images, even with broadcast television. Convenient side-panel buttons let you configure the set and access its menus without having to use the remote.

The TXN2775HF also features what Samsung terms a "neo side-sound design" aimed at delivering full-bodied sound with a clean, uncomplicated look. And, with 15 watts per channel x 2, you can be sure of the system's clarity and its ability to play loudly. Several sound modes offer dynamic audio settings for whatever you're watching; choose from standard, music, movie, speech, or custom. Surround-sound mode simulates an exciting surround effect from any two speakers, and a side-panel headphone jack allows private listening (headphones not included).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, January 5, 2004

This review is from: Samsung TXN2775HF 27" HD-Ready TV with DynaFlat Screen (Electronics)

This is probably the cheapest name-brand HDTV you can buy. It's a great value with sharp bright picture and tons of inputs for all your video game systems and peripherals.

Picture - 5/5
Great picture. You can even smooth out analog broadcast channels to make them look hdtvish. DVD's look great, like real people are on the opposite side of the glass. I can only imagine what "adult movies" look like on HDTV.

Sound - 4/5
Kinda metallic. It has multiple modes and an equalizer so if you're audio savvy you can probably fix this or just get some speakers.

Videogameability - 4.5/5
This should be a category for all TV reviews. Tons of inputs means you can plug in your xbox, ps2, AND gamecube you lucky boy/girl you.

Value - 5/5
Pretty much the lowest price for HDTV, but far from the bottom of the line. Yeah it's heavy but CRT's still deliver the best picture (plasmas burn out and lcd's have ghostly trails behind people). This is a great great deal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheap HDTV, Good for price, but it has issues., January 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Samsung TXN2775HF 27" HD-Ready TV with DynaFlat Screen (Electronics)

This is a low end HDTV, hence it's better than most normal TV's, but it still has its issues:

1. Misalignment of the picture. While watching normal Cable TV, the picture cuts off the bottom quarter inch of the picture or so. Using the Zoom features only make it worse. It's not bad, but it's really annoying if you're trying to read the scrolling information at the bottom of news channels.

2. It has two component inputs on the back, but it doesn't have a DVI connector which is nice for computer video cards that output DVI. DVI is the digital to digital connector on LCD screens and hopefully on upcoming DVD players.

3. Remote control dumbness - the remote is universal, but doesn't support most of the buttons for anything other than TV. The thing that really stinks is the "TV/Video" button on the remote. On this TV I got, if you hit this button on the remote, it goes through ANT/SVIDEO/etc, but it skips the two Component inputs on the back, only the front button (TV/Video) physically on the TV selects the component inputs. This is dumb since the reason you get an HDTV is for the Component connections. I'm not sure, but I don't think HDTV signals can go through SVideo, or composite cables. At least I think this TV only supports HDTV through it's Component inputs.

I'm happy with this TV, but I would've like to have known about these issues before I bought it.

This TV has the sweetest picture one can imagine,crisp,deep and the color choices can please most anyone. The sound from the side firing speakers can be adjusted to suit even the most discriminating audiophile. Remote operation is simple (read manual first). DVD picture quality is outstanding and VHS is enhanced to a new level. Great entry level HDTV!!!!
