Not what I expected
the speaker system is very weak, can't seem to get enough power but the picture is great with sharp color, need to improve on the 26" I also have 50" that works perfect and sounds great.

VERY NICE TV
I am Very Happy with this TV. Good picture and I didn't have to change anything. Some people complained about the sound so I planed on hooking it up to my Stereo but I don't have to, sound is good.

Nice little TV
This is a nice little TV. It's definitely not the TV for your living room home theatre extravaganza, but it's a great bedroom/office television. The picture is sharp and vibrant, the features are easy to control via remote, and despite what I've seen others say, the viewing angle is just fine. I've had no issues with the image washing out (note: this TV is on a dresser top and sits about 3.5' off the ground -- not wall-mounted).

Others have also complained about the sound. I find the sound to be sufficient for my purposes, and one could easily hook up an outside audio system if not satisfied. But since this TV isn't big enough to be your main home entertainment TV, I don't see much point in doing that if you stick it in your office or bedroom. I don't need surround sound while I'm laying in bed at night. The price is decent. I've had great luck with Samsung products in the past (though this is my first Samsung TV) and this TV seems to follow suit.

Just a couple minor issues: (1) I wish it had an S-video input in the back rather than on the side; and (2) it's not a great TV for gaming, at least not for older gaming systems. I hooked up my old Xbox and popped in Madden and noticed a bit of motion blur. Maybe the TV is better with the newer generation of systems running 780p (i.e., Xbox 360, PS3) but I'm too old to go buying new video game systems anymore.

Overall, I'd recommend it for a budget-minded buyer looking for an entry-level HD TV, or someone looking for a TV to have in the bedroom/office.

Best 26 inch I've ever seen
I've been looking for a t.v. that was fit enough for my room and this t.v.justs exceeds my expectations. The picture on standard channels is great and on HD it's amazing. Everything is so clear and sharp. I've compared it to a 42 inch Samsung that my aunt has and to me they look equal in terms of picture quality except mines is a lot sharper. My Xbox 360 games are unbelievable and there is no motion blur at all. It's a shame that I have to sell mine because I need money to buy books for college. I'm really going to miss this t.v. because it is that good.

Picture Quality: 10
I see no problems with the picture quality of both standard and high definition channels. It's just amazing how good it looks at this size.

Sound Quality: 8
The speakers do an adequate job with sound but it lacks enough bass. Still it's better than others I heard.

Inputs: 10
3 HDMI inputs and two component inputs are more than enough for any High Definition device.

Viewing Angle: 7
The viewing angle is good when your looking at it directly but it gets brighter as you move up and darker as you move down. Still if you just attach the stand and only have it at eye level then you'll be perfectly fine. This is only a concern if you decide to mount the t.v.

Price: 9
So far I've seen this t.v. sell for about $500 and under. It's a steal at that price.

Overall I love this t.v. and I'm REALLY going to miss it. Maybe in the future I'll get a bigger version of this t.v. but right now I can't think of anything else that has a better picture than this at this size.
