I have had this TV for about a month and I really like it. The picture is clear, the sound is good, the controls are easy to work. It makes a funny chiming sound when you turn it on and off but I read the manual and figured out how to turn that off. For the price, it can't be beat.
Customer Review: Disappointed in audio quality
I purchased the Samsung after my Sony Wega 19" LCD's video display computer board went bad. The Samsung got such good reviews, and there really isn't a lot to choose from in a 19" LCD that was under 16" tall (to fit under my kitchen cabinets), so I chose the Samsung. I like everything about it pretty much except for the audio sound. The speakers are coming from the back of the TV and it sounds very tinny and echo-y. I'm so used to the phenomenal sound of the Sony Wega (which they do not make anymore) that I'm having a hard time getting used to the lower quality audio of the Samsung. I didn't go with the Sony Bravia 19" because of the little stand that is used to prop up the TV and the reviews were low because of that. I'm seriously considering, though, rethinking the Sony Bravia. It's far more expensive, another $80-$100, but I was well-compensated from the extended warranty that I purchased with the original Sony, that the price really isn't a factor. The Sony Wega was a perfect specimen of what a small LCD TV should be...too bad Sony discontinued it.
