Customer Review: Great 19 inch combo LCD-DVD
Have been looking to upgrade a kitchen set and add the DVD player all in one shot. Reviewed and looked at a number of sets from all the usual suspects. This one got the selection due to price, features, name and quality (have 32″ “tube” TV and DVD player that are Toshiba as well as past laptops). Ordered on a Wednesday received on Friday (Supersaver is superfast!). We have enjoyed it so much we end up watching more TV in the kitchen then ever. DVD player is great and the whole setup was so easy. Our basic cable included 15 HD channels that the tuner picked up immediately and we were watching our first at home HDTV shows and concerts (love HDNet) right away. This will push me into a larger set in the living room a lot faster than I thought as the difference in picture quality is so much better that all I want to watch is stuff that comes in HD. Oh well X-mas is right around the corner. Picture quality, as you might guess is great, ease of operation has been no problem for this babby boomer. Just a great 19 inch combo that fills the bill on what you would want out of a 19 inch.
Customer Review: 19LV505
I bought this TV for my RV. It has exceeded my expectations. Excellent color and contrast with easy setup. The unit is light and portable.
When the RV season is over this TV goes in the bed room of our house.
The DVD built in with the DviX makes this unit Ideal for any small room.

Philips MANT950 Indoor/Outdoor Amplified UHF/VHF/HDTV Antenna Marketing description is not available.
Customer Review: Very disappointed
I live well within the 40 mile range, but was unable to pick up a single station using the antenna on the roof even adding another amplifier.
Customer Review: barely brought in 2 channels
I live in a mobile (not in a park) surrounded by huge evergreen trees, pretty far from the tv stations in Seattle. No matter where I put the antenna (even on the roof) it doesn’t get good reception on any of those channels. We do, however, get 3 “basic” channels that are somewhat viewable that we didn’t have before. Needless to say, I’m not impressed at all. The reason I picked it was because people said it got good reception if you were blocked in by trees or buildings. Keep in mind, tho, that it may work great in another location, just not in mine.

Customer Review: ***BE WARNED!!!!****
I’ve had this TV for about a month now, and let me first say that it is an amazing monitor. It’s bright, sharp, and I definitely concur with all of the other positive reviews about it. However, my low rating is more a reflection on Amazon and other websites that continue to “cut and paste” their product descriptions either from previous year model specifications or from really flawed research. In purchasing a new TV, the 3 criteria I had was LCD (Plasma is great but a real drain on electricity); 1080p (we have HD satelite and a Sony PS3/blu-ray); and last but probably the most important for me was 120hz capability. If you look both on this site and on sites like ZDnet or CNET, they all describe this as having Motionflow (Sony’s version of 120hz) which dramatically reduces judder. I know that some people don’t find the “sopa opera” effect all that appealing, but I really like it for some things and wanted it for my next TV.

Customer Review: A Great TV for the Price
Well I Got this tv within 4 days of purchase i ordered it Sunday and got it Thursday it has great piture quality and vivid colors and it also works great as a pc monitor my video games look amazing and it was great investment for this tv so anyone looking for a good buy on a tv buy this one
Customer Review: Excellant Picture
I received my television faster then expected, and was very happy with the results. Picture quality is astounding through HDMI, like looking out a glass window. Although my DVD player has 720p output and the Sharp television can except as high as 1080p, I found transitioning my television to 720p left the image grainer than if I just left it at 480p. Of course, once I make the purchase of a Blue-ray player I doubt I’ll find myself using anything less than 1080p, even if they say you can’t tell the difference.
Sound quality is okay, it lacks a certain robust impression, you won’t be feeling the explosions or anything, but the dialouge comes through and soundtracks eminate clearly enough.
Because I don’t have HD cable or satellite, it was of no great concern to me when making the purchase that regular television would be my bread and butter in terms of it’s use. I found images to be acceptable, and made of few adjustment to contrast and color till I was satisfied. All in all, this being my first HD television, so far so good.

Customer Review: TERK indoor HDTV antenna
I bought this antenna with great hopes, and would have been happy to just get 1 or 2 stations.
However, despite a distance of no more than 8 or 9 miles from the transmitting tower, I get exactly nothing. Not much of a positive investment…
Customer Review: The best so far
I’ve had 2 of these antennas — antennae? — for 3 years. Since I live close to a big city, I can pull in 16 channels with it. It’s super easy to set up and run through a VCR if you want. When local channels first started broadcasting in HDTV picture quality was fantastic. What I don’t know right now is the effect of the digital TV conversion box on this antenna. I ordered one of those but haven’t received it yet. Maybe I can come back and edit this review.

THE PROCESS WAS EASIER THAN I EVER EXPECTED. THE PRICE WAS GREAT…THE SERVICE WAS GREAT…DELIVERY WAS GREAT…INSTALLERS WERE GREAT…WHAT NMORE CAN ONE ASK FOR!!!
THANKS…AMAZON!!!
Customer Review: High quality, mature product from solid manufacturer
I bought this TV for my bedroom. It is my third Samsung, but my first LCD. The other two that I have are both plasmas, the HPT5064 and FPT5084. I think that this is a great TV if you only care about 720p (which is all you need in a bedroom.) If you are on a $1000 budget or this is a secondary TV, I can’t think of why you need more than 720p right now. This will absolutely change in the future, of that I have no doubt.
