Summary: Great Picture, Poor Audio
Comment: This TV has really a great HD picture, outstanding contrast ratio for the price great for my small room. The only problem is that the internal speakers sound like a $1 store radio... Plan on buying some external speakers with a subwoofer to really enjoy it.

Summary: CANNOT BE HUNG ON WALL! NO BRACKET HOLES LIKE OTHER MONITORS/TVS
Comment: Great specs but I was shocked that it can't be hung on a wall!!!!!! thats a real messup for me I took it for granted that it could be wall hung.

Summary: Pretty Nice
Comment: This is a nearly perfect product. Visually attractive design, excellent video quality. Sound is not particularly good. At least there is an audio output through a headphone jack on the side of the unit, so I could connect a small stereo system. Much better sound now.

Summary: Good but no cigar
Comment: Good picture and in all fairness tv does not have an hd source.
The problem is the brightness,color and tint must be adjusted each time the unit is turned off and back on. All other settings remain as set. This gets alittle old after a while and if all are like mine then I cannot recommend it.

Summary: Great Monitor and HDTV
Comment: I have owned this TV for over a week and couldn't be more pleased. It arrived after about 3 days using Saver Shipping, and there are no dead pixels that I can see. I use this as a primary monitor in a dual monitor setup and as an HDTV through a HD Cable Box. It is excellent on both counts.
As a monitor using the DVI hookup, this monitor has amazing graphics with my ATI 4850 gfx card. My old monitor was a 17' flat screen, and with the two of them sitting next to each other, the difference is very noticeable. Viewing text and pictures are both very clear, and I notice no lag or delays with the image. Setup was very easy, and after using plug-and-play for a while, I installed the drivers for the monitor. Both worked very well.
As an HDTV, the picture quality is also amazing. I watched a few sports games, a few regular HD channels, and some HD movie channels, and was pleased with them all. This is my first HDTV at home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the difference it makes. I do want to note that the SD channels are not very good. As a widescreen TV, you get black bars on the sides and/or the top, and it seems the picture quality is not as good as my older TV. I only plan on watching HD channels with this TV for the most part, but this is annoying when I want to watch a non-HD channel.
I find the sound to be satisfactory. This TV is not designed for large rooms, and I personally do not need the sound any louder than it is for my bedroom. There are audio outputs and other ways to easily hook up speakers if you want better sound, and I would assume people that want to complain about sound quality would have speakers anyways.
The screen size is just right for me. I have a couch about 6-8 feet away, and the picture is plenty big. I wouldn't mind having a 22' or 24', but it was not worth the price for the extra size. When I purchased this TV, it was around $280, while the next size up (22') was around $390. Two inches is not worth $110 to me (140%), and I am glad I stuck to this size.
The things I do not like about this TV are minor. When you have this TV muted, there is a small box that does not disappear with the word "Muted" in the corner. If you dont plan on muting this TV, obviously this is not important. Also, as I have my TV hooked up to my cable box through HDMI, I wish that while cycling through sources the OTA/Cable source was not there. It's just a small annoyance, and I would think a lot of people would be doing this similarly. Lastly, I wish that there was a PIP option for watching TV while using the monitor, as there are for higher end Samsungs, but it is not that big of a deal for me as I use dual monitors.
Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to have a Monitor/HDTV in their office/bedroom. I do not use the tuner inside this TV, so I cannot review its quality.
