More Than Just Another Pretty Picture
I've already learned one important lesson in my limited experience with HDTVs - it's not all about the picture. In the case of this unit, the picture quality was very comparable to the 23" Sony Bravia HDTV I had recently bought (slight pluses and minuses for both), but the Samsung is far more well thought-out and user-friendly. I'm really surprised at how big of a difference that makes, but it does.
This TV will change channels fairly quickly (about the speed of a non-HDTV),...

Great TV plagued by high pitched noise... Despite reading reviews about the high pitched noise, I figured that those instances were isolated. However, I got my May 2007 manufactured set in late August and it has the same high pitched noise problem too. This noise becomes increasingly distinctive when raising the backlight level.
The backlight functions similarly to the brightness, but it works differently via illumination and doesn't modify the picture per se. There are ten levels that correlate to how bright the backl...

Possibly a Defective Product??? I did all my research on LCD TV and the best one of the market was this particular one. But when I received the first LCD TV, while watching my TV I heard a whistling/buzz (like a kettle) sound in the background of the programs I was watching and realized it was coming from the TV. I called and went to CC and Srs. (the main stores selling this same product and they hadn't had any returns nor heard anything about this product)They claimed this TV to be the top of the line product.
My attemp...

A top notch HDTV for its size and price point I'm a very picky electronics consumer. I spent a lot of time researching HDTV trying to find the best value and features in a television for our bedroom. Picture quality, technical specs, and motion handling were all very important considerations. The Samsung LNT2653H 26" LCD HDTV has exceeded all of my expectations.
1. HDTV - The picture quality with HDTV signals is astounding. No big surprise here. Samsung is known for great picture quality and this display does not disapp...

High Pitched Noise Gives it 2 Stars I have had the same exact problems as CJ. The first one I ordered developed a very high pitched noise that was very noticeable. It disappeared when the backlight setting was turned down to 5 or less, but above that the noise was not acceptable. I called Samsung and they acknowledged that this was a defective product, so I returned it to Amazon for a replacement. This 2nd product had the same exact problem. Seeing as how no one else had reported this problem on Amazon or elsewhere, I decided...

Great! I did a lot of research before buying and I thought this was the best deal for the price. The TV is the 2007 successor to the highly rated 2006 model. I bought it brand new for under $800 on Amazon through Office Depot. The digital channels look very clear. When hooked up to my Xbox 360, the picture is very sharp compared to my standard TV. It was even delivered to me in just two days!
A couple of complaints: the analog channels look a bit worse when compared to my old televisi...

AWESOME TV.... with a few problems First things first. I researched the hell out of every LCD tv on the market and this tv seemed like the best bang for my buck. I have my tv hooked up to my macbook which is also a plus and watching movies has a cool high definition feature (may not be exactly HD but it looks phenomenal). NOW, we get to some of the problems. As listed in other reviews on Amazon, the aspect ratio can be a problem. If you can live with having a smaller screen to fit the entire picture on your tv then this tv i...

Great set for xbox 360 and a PC MONITOR! If your looking for a set for your 360, your in luck. Make sure to go into the menu and choose the "Game" mode, which does soemthing with the refresh rate so your gaming doesnt get blurry.
I was also suprised when I hooked this baby up to my laptop to play half-life 2. The resolution only goes to 1300x something, but it looks friggin outstanding!
Picture quality is awesome, and tons of inputs, even a headphone for desktop quietness gaming.
Remote is very ...

Samsung Ignoring Hiss After 5 days of trying to phone Samsung Customer Service, I talked with a helpful operator who discussed the hiss issue with a technician. They are aware of the problem, but as far as they knew, the only thing to do was to keep the brightness control in the midrange (5).

High Pitched Noise ruins a great TV I read reviews on the high pitch noise coming from this Samsung 26 inch LCD HDTV and was hoping this would not be the case for me. Unfortunately ALL the 26 inch Samsung sets make this high pitch noise. You will be in for a difficult time if you think it is not an issue because you do not hear the noise or think it does not bother you. Many years ago when in college taking electronics a professor told us of how a student once connected a small speaker to the frequency generator that were on ev...
