User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Great TV when viewed from ONLY one position
Love the size. Love the look. Sound is excellent. Colors are lovely. But the limited viewing angle is enough to drive anyone INSANE. If you’re watching head-on at a level even with the screen, the picture is crisp. If you change your position and view from a lower or higher angle, it completely changes the contrast. We bought this for our bedroom and it drives us nuts watching from in bed. The tv is positioned only a few inches higher than the bed and when we’re lying down all the contrast is lost. As an example, dark hair becomes a mass of black, no detail. Everything gets darker. We have a Sony we purchased around the same time (32″) and this does NOT happen. For this price and with the technology out there, this is unacceptable. We’re returning the TV tomorrow. Not worth the money at all.

5 Stars Best service I’ve ever recieved.
Samsung LN26A450 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV. I bought this TV and recieved it in 4 days. There was a problem with it. I called customer service and reported the problem. The lady I talked to was very polite and concerned.

I tried to solve the problem as requested by customer service. I was not able to resolve the problem. I called customer service again on a Sunday afternoon to see what could be done. The man was the greatest customer service person I’ve ever talked to. First he found another TV, same one I ordered orginally and had it sent out to me. I recieved this TV Tuesday morning at 10:30. This TV works great. He also sent me a return shipping label,free of charge. I returned the orginal TV. All I can say is Amazon has the best customer service I’ve ever recieved. Five stars for them. I will keep buying from them for sure. Thanks!!!!!

4 Stars Good tv for the bedroom.
Very good overall, the video quality is very good. I especially love the colors and good tones. The audio isnt great but its not bad.

5 Stars Perfect TV for a bedroom/smaller area
I bought this TV several weeks ago after doing some research on other similar TV’s and I have to say, I have been very happy with it thus far. Not only was it incredibly easy to put together (just the TV and its stand), but it has many plug-in capabilities so you can hook up video game consoles to it in addition to DVD players, it is HD capable, obviously, which is fantastic for viewing HD channels, and it is just a high performing TV.

I have not had any problems with lag time while watching movies or playing games, and the colors are phenomenal. Another great aspect of this television is that it auto programs your channels for you, from Air channels over antenna, to HD Air channels, and both cable and HD cable channels. The menus are very easy to navigate, and this has to be the most user-friendly television set I have ever used/purchased.

I absolutely recommend this TV to anyone looking for one for their bedroom, as it is the perfect size to view while sitting in bed or in a chair in an office, even. This is a great buy, and I look forward to many years of excellent use out of this set.
