Great TV and Computer monitor Review by MOOSE70

I've owned this several months, and use it as my main computer monitor, and also use it for U-Verse TV. Works great for both with no problems. Also a great price on it.

Gaming community Gives it a thumbs up Review by Ian

This is actually not too bad if you are going to use this for Gaming it has a 5ms response time wich was better than what i was expecting and as for the sound quality i haven't noticed anything but that might be because i use a wireless head set

$148.00 on Amazon Review by Denny

This is an excellent little TV. Dynamite picture, and the sound isn't bad at all as long as you're not twenty feet away. But a TV this size is going to be watched fairly close up so the sound is fine. Especially if you tweak it a little from the menu. It has quite a few options. I've had mine for nine months now and it has performed flawlessly. Thought I'd mention to anyone serious about getting it that you can get it on Amazon for only $148.00 and that includes shipping to the fifty states. Makes it an even sweeter deal at that price.

Quite Positive Review by DesertDave

I had not intended to buy a new TV, but rather a new Computer Monitor. Much to my surprise, this turned out to be both. Now that it is operation, I'm quite satisfied. I did have to take it back to Costco and watch 3 different young and strong males wrestle the base on the bottom of the TV. It was a tough job, but I suppose it would take just as much effort to remove it, so that's good.

One other thing, since I"m using it as a computer monitor, it would have been good if the base would have had an adjustable (up/down) future.

UEzAXkDuXjM Review by Rachel

I was tasked with gentitg a small TV to put in my parents' kitchen. After reading lots of online reviews and looking at some sets in local stores, I finally decided to take the leap with this unit even though there were complaints of sound quality and small viewing angles. I have several friends with larger Samsung LCDs and they all have been very satisfied, so I trusted the brand.I'm rather glad I did. This TV now sits on a counter between the main kitchen and the dining area, and while it's obviously not as clear from every angle as it is straight on, its horizontal viewing angle is at least as good as other LCDs I've seen and better than many. We don't really test the vertical viewing angle much since it's waist to chest height, but it seemed acceptable to me when I sat on the ground in front of it.I was only marginally concerned about the sound since they have the option of passing the audio through to the kitchen zone of their distributed audio system, but the speakers hold up well for what they are. Don't expect the same sound that comes out of the sound bar of a 42-62 TV since these speakers are appreciably smaller, but they fill the fairly large kitchen/dining area just fine. Don't know if I got a great unit or it's just quieter in our place than other reviewers', but I don't see us having to turn it up much higher than 60 out of 100.Can't really comment on the overall picture quality as they're just running standard definition to it at this point, but the colors are great.Very much recommend this model to anyone looking for a small basic set.Pros- Good colors- Easy to set up- Price: got it for $221 shipped during a specialCons- Muting the sound on the unit doesn't mute the pass-through sound signalNeutral- Sound isn't as good as larger TVs, but this is to be expected with smaller speakers.
