Sharp LC19SB27UT 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Black Review

Sharp LC19SB27UT 19 inch 720p LCD HDTV, BlackThis little TV is great for a kitchen or as a small tv for a guest room or childs room. The remote is simple and concise. Setup is a breeze. Wall mounts easily. The picture is excellent. The viewing angle is excellent. I researched alot of 19" LCD TV's and decided on this one. Many other 19" tv's have a poor viewing angle...this one does not. The picture is clear. You will not go wrong with this TV. I have mine connected to a small radio shack Hi-DEF off-air antenna for the kitchen. I was amazed that I gets over 20 HD channels on it. The antenna is small and mounted outside. I would really compare this TV to Sony, Samsung. Its just as good. Not to mention the price..wow..it was about the same price as the bargain, off-brand TV"s. You wont go wrong with this little beauty! Youll see every pimple on American Idol! Whew hooh!!!!

Samsung LNT2653H 26-Inch LCD HDTV Review

Samsung LNT2653H 26 inch LCD HDTVI'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), whereas the Sony Bravias (and I assume others) are painfully S-L-O-W.This was irritating enough when I was just using the relatively small number of over-the-air channels, with cable it can drive you absolutely crazy.

Also, the Samsung will sense what inputs are actually being used, so that it will only go to the ones that are hooked up to a VCR, DVD, etc. and not S-L-O-W-L-Y cycle through them all, as does the Bravia (where it's a real drag if you hit that button by mistake).

Another nice feature is that the LNT2653H has separate coax inputs for antenna and cable.If you, like me, want to use both, this makes life much easier.

There are actually a few other smaller items that are superior on the Samsung as well, but the real epiphany to me was that usability is so significant an issue in these HDTVs.Don't get me wrong, picture quality IS important too and this one looks to me as good as any, but you can't really judge that aspect very well in a showroom anyway.Once you get it home you have to actually use it - and the differences there are striking.

I'll also mention that, at the time of purchase, the price at Amazon was significantly better than at any other reputable dealer I could find.The unit came quickly and in good shape.

I'll give it 4 1/2 stars, because as good as it is, it's still not perfect.

Product Description:
Offering an unparalleled sleek design and one of the best 720p LCD panels available, Samsung's 2007 model LNT2653H 26-inch flat-panel LCD HDTV is an updated successor the super popular 2006 model LNS2651D. Compared to the previous year's model this one offers an updated cosmetic design, a better contrast ratio at 5000:1, hidden speakers, side A/V inputs, and 2 HDMI connections.
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

    Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
    TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
    The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

Connections:

    HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 2
    R/F in 1
    Component (Y/Pb/Pr) in 2
    S-Video input 2(1 side/1 rear)
    A/V input 2(1 side/1 rear)

Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV Review

Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U 42 inch 720p Plasma HDTVPrice was a significant contributor to my decision to buy this TV.Conversations with tv-guys made me think that I needed to pony up for a 1080, but I just could not justify the premium over the 720p.Now that I have it, I am glad I saved my money.The picture quality is great, both in high def and for normal (low def?) viewing.Whenever I have guests and the TV is on, they are blown away by the quality and ask my questions about it.

I also like the anti-glare screen.At first I was a little concerned that the anti-glare picture would look "dull" compared to your average plasma, but that is no longer a concern - it looks great.

Another big plus for me was the appearance of the TV.Like other Panasonic models, this TV is sleek.Vizio and other manufacturers seem to incorporate larger speakers that look clunky in comparison.The size of the tv relative to the picture size is great - looks nice on the wall, and doesn't take up any more room than it needs to.

In fact, the reason why I am writing this review is because I am going to buy another one for a different room in the house.Panasonic has definitely won my repeat business with this one - I think that says it all.

Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-26M4000 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review

Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-26M4000 26 inch 720p LCD HDTVI just bought this model, and I also own a Sony 40" S model.I was tempted to get Sony's S model in this size, but the M is a newer model, and $50-$80 cheaper.Picture quality is, overall, equal to my larger set, (though fleshtones are more natural on the "S") which cost twice as much.However, I was surprised that it does not come with the stand attached.Not a big deal, but I've never seen this practice before.Also, unlike the S series classy flat black matte finish, this M model has the "Samsungy" glossy piano black finish.Again,not a big deal..but still.Anyway, despite all my nitpicking, it is the picture that really matters, and in that area, this set delivers in Sony tradition..excellent.For the money, a great set, a great value, but it will remind you it is entry level, something the S models did not do...of course, Sony's least, is still better than it's competitors best.

Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-32M4000 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review

Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-32M4000 32 inch 720p LCD HDTVI have had this television set since May 9th and am very pleased with it.Even I was able to set it up.I don't have the expertise to evaluate the technicalities, but I recognize an outstanding picture when I see it.I thought I had a defective set for a three day period (faces were "sun-burned and most everything was pink), but the problem turned out to be a defective cable from my cable provider.The size of the set isn't overpowering in my small room.For watching baseball games and nature programs this set provides a picture that is superb.I can't imagine you doing any better than this set.

Toshiba 26AV502U 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review

Toshiba 26AV502U 26 inch 720p LCD HDTVI just got this TV when Amazon dropped the price.I am very pleased with it, its a terrific value.The picture is amazing, its highly energy efficient costing only $1.14 a month to operate based on 6 hours viewing a day.Its an Energy Star TV.Sound is also good for what it is it has 2 X 5 watt speakers.I saw the other review here and am a little perplexed as I've found this TV to be a great value for a standard 26" LCD TV which is what it is.I'd highly recommend it.

Toshiba REGZA 26LV47 26-Inch LCD HDTV with Built-in DVD Player Review

Toshiba REGZA 26LV47 26 inch LCD HDTV with Built-in DVD PlayerThe first impression when opening the box and examining the parts is ...this is a solid piece of equipment.Many LCD sets sit precariously on stands seemingly ready to be knocked over with the slighest swipe...not this set. The Regza has a super sturdy stand that is screwed together to the panel unit.In a matter of minutes the TV is ready to be connected to the video provider.In this case we had cable and used the multi colored connectors then used the setup function to set the unit at 1080.The HD stations are crystal clear.Using the DVD is super simple.A great looking set that eliminates the need for a DVD player.A good value and highly recommended.

Toshiba 37AV502U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review

Toshiba 37AV502U 37 inch 720p LCD HDTVLike many shoppers who buy their first HDTV, I did my homework. I determined what size screen I needed (37 inches to 40 inches) what size screen would fit in my space (40 would been tight) and whether I needed a 720p or 1080p LCD. When a TV salesman told me I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 720 and 1080 on a 37-inch screen - and I verified that in his store - I found myself basically left with a brand-name issue.

Fortunately, I was able to view my major brand name choices - LG, Sharp, Sony - side by side. That's when I discovered the Toshiba 37AV502U. Compared to off-brands and the LG, it had a distinctively radiant picture. Could have been the settings in the store. I'll never know. But it did give me the confidence to include the Toshiba in my online shopping.

Even in the stores, I cold see the Toshiba was priced lower than the Sharp and the Sony. When I found it online (Amazon and elsewhere) for about $150 lower than in-store prices, I was sold.

The TV came promptly and was easy to set up with the clear and concise manual. The on-screen adjustments and choices of inputs are simple to follow. The variety of inputs (component, composite, HDMI, PC, S-video, audio, cable) and outputs are complete enough for most users. The only complaint I have is that the remote's electronic commands seem to be a little weak.

That ends up not mattering a whit because in today's environment you actually interact much more often with the cable receiver through its remote than with the TV. In fact, I am surprised that more manufacturers are not producing monitors without tuners for use with cable and satellite feeds.

The Toshiba works perfectly with my cable receiver and, so far, has produced clear, sharp images from analog, digital and HD sources. And I have about $150 extra in my pocket.

Toshiba 19AV500U 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Black) Review

Toshiba 19AV500U 19 inch 720p LCD HDTVI live in a "fringe" area for OTA reception in a densely wooded neighborhood 30 miles from the cities and have a rooftop antenna with a pre-amplifier system.I currently own Hitachi, Sony and Olevia TVs with built in ATSC tuners and find the Toshiba 19AV500U has the most trouble maintaining good reception from several of the HD channels.I've tried hooking it up to the other antenna leads in the house and results were the same so I've concluded the tuner sensitivity is not as good as my other TVs.However, when locked-in to an HD channel the picture quality is excellent.The Toshiba is very attractive with the piano black bezel and adjustable stand.The interface is simple and intuitive, setup was a breeze.I found the "DynaLight" feature annoying as it seems to randomly change the overall brightness ever so slightly too often.At first I thought there was something wrong with the backlight because of this "flickering" effect.I discovered that DynaLight is enabled by default.When I turned it off in the Advanced Video menu the problem was resolved.Overall this is a very good budget priced LCD HDTV from one of the best names in the business.This is a darned tootin' fine TV.

Sony Bravia L-Series KDL-32L4000 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review

Sony Bravia L-Series KDL-32L4000 32 inch 720p LCD HDTVThis is my first venture in the HDTV era. I patiently waited for years waiting for price drops. LCD HDTV's have finally become affordable and something rare... Sony has come out with an affortable decent size HDTV. This tv is sharp both aesthetically and the picture. I never saw this tv in person so I had no idea the bottom was clear plastic. It looks like solid silver in the pictures but it is clear in fact. It makes it look that much better. The sound is not great but HDTV's are meant to be paired with entertainment speakers. There are two HDMI slots and tons of component slots. The TV is solid in short. I paired the TV with a sony upconverter (Which I will review as well), and that did wonders to my DVD collection. The picture was not near HD quality but it was without a doubt better than ever before. It did improve the picture and the colors are vivid and bright. I have standard expanded cable service and plugged the cable in before turning on the tv for the first time. When I turned on the tv it automatically searched for chanels and to my astonishment, found 30 digital channels and all local chanels in HD! Straight out of the cable! No box necessary! This made me think cable companies are ripping people off renting out HD boxes. My cable company (Cox) has told me and advertised the HD channels can only be accessed through their special HD box. This is true if you want MTV and 12 other cable channels in HD but not local channels. Needless to say, It was a very pleasant surprise as I don't have to pay 17 bucks a month extra to see HD content.
The second HDMI cable was used by my PS3. I don't need to say anything else but I'm in heaven. Here is the best part, this tv is one of the cheapest on the market and it's a Sony! Morevoer, the shipping was free and no taxes! I checked the best buy website and found I would be paying 70 bucks more at my local store! Highly recommended.

Toshiba 32AV502U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review

Toshiba 32AV502U 32 inch 720p LCD HDTVThe Toshiba 32AV502U seems to be a good value for a 720p LCD.It was easy to set up on the stand; the hook-up to my cable, TIVO unit, and playstation was easy; the initial set up for all the available channels was pretty easy and fast; and the picture is great.The only negatives are that the remote control & remote control buttons are too small, the ability of the set to switch between various functions seems a little slow (in other words moving from one menu screen to the next), and the process of switching back and forth between inputs is especially slow and tedious.Maybe as I learn more about the functions I can figure out a faster way to accomplish this but I haven't found anything in the manual yet or by playing with the various buttons.

Toshiba 15LV505 15.6-Inch Widescreen LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player (Black) Review

Toshiba 15LV505 15.6 inch Widescreen LCD TV with Built-in DVD PlayerIf you are looking for a very small LCD TV, this is a nice product.If you have room for a 19", by all means I would go for the larger screen.Keep in mind that, even with the abundance of digital and high def signals out there today, many channels/programs will be broadcast in 4:3 format.Since this TV is a 16:9 profile screen, a 4:3 display will appear that much smaller on this 15.6" screen.

However, if you have a tight space, like on a kitchen counter under cabinets, this TV is perfect.It included a built in DVD player, which is a nice perk.The picture is vivid and HD display on it is excellent.At this size there is absolutely no reason to go for 1080p.For a 15.6" screen, or even a 19", 720p is fine.

At this screen size, Toshiba's competition tends to be "store brands" or no-name brands.This is the lone high quality name brand TV in this class (size).

What included in the box:
* 15.6" (measured diagonally) flat screen TV.
* Attached stand.
* Remote control.
* Power cable.The TV comes with a QAM tuner so you can pull any unscrambled analog and digital TV signals from your cable company.The TV accepts coax and ColorStream component connections.

PROs:
* Vivid picture
* Fully adjustable backlight and picture format, as well as all the usuals (brightness, contrast, audio, etc.).
* Excellent sound.
* Matte finish screen reduces glare so screen is viewable in bright and low light situations.

CONs:
* Tuner is fairly slow when switching stations.
* Stand is not adjustable for different angles or height.

Overall, this is a nice TV for the price and has many of the functions you'd want.An adjustable stand would be nice but at this size its not a necessity.I'm not sure why the tuner lags as much as it does, taking approximately 2-4 seconds in between channels.If you channel-surf often, this will annoy you.

I would have rated this a 5 had it not been for the slow tuner.
