Samsung LN26A450 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review
Despite the Reviews so far on this, I bought it and am pleased: So, despite the poor reviews I re-read them and figured they were by people that didn’t know much about HD-TV’s or are bitter by one thing or another about the product.
Why will you buy this screen? Well you want a medium sized TV for a bedroom, college dorm, etc that has TONS of inputs.
For you gamers, this is the perfect sized TV that will hook up to your consoles with multiple HDMI inputs and component inputs you will get a bunch of your consoles plugged in to this without additional AV tuners. Note: this doesn’t have composite inputs, so you will have to either buy an HDMI cable or component cable for the consoles if you don’t have one already.
The contrast ratio and brightness of this screen is also amazing which makes movies and games come to life. Been playing GTA4 over the weekend through my ps3 and everything was amazing and didn’t notice any delay (another perk of the 8ms response time).
The speakers for this definitely are it’s one weakness, so that review is appropriate, they are in the back of the screen and pointing directly down to the ground. So while that kind of sucks honestly you have to ask yourself, are you going to use the TV speakers or use the multiple outputs to plug into a surround sound anyways?
I would ignore the poster that talked about bad picture plugging directly from cable, that will happen on ANY HDTV because without a cable box you don’t get a digital signal (at least not until the digital transition) and because of that ANY HDTV will look bad. The cable box converts the signal.
