Great HD/Digital TV for the Kitchen!

We have a decent sized rectangular shaped kitchen and wanted a stylish, high-performance, brand-name LCD TV. I didn't want a cable box cluttering up the room, and decided up front that our new kitchen TV would be wall mounted and have it's own digital tuner. The other criteria was that I didn't want a black housing, so that narrowed down our choices to some silver models and this piano-finish white Samsung. Our cabinets are all medium dark oak and all the moldings at the eating end of the kitchen are white with a sort of cream color on the walls. We felt the black model would jump off the wall a bit too much.

I read the reviews and have to admit I was somewhat concerned as several reviewers complained about the audio quality of this set. Samsung makes some beautiful TVs and while the only comparable model I could find at my local Best Buy was the black version of this set... I took a chance and ordered (through Amazon). Well, I got the set and a Sanus VisionMount VM3 and I did the install myself. What I did was run a 50' HDMI cable from my Family Room home theater setup along with a 75 Ohm digital cable at eye height along with a 110v outlet. So all cables and outlets are hidden behind the TV as it's mounted diagonally in the corner.

The picture quality with both the cable and HDMI sources is outstanding. The audio issue turned out to be a non-issue. There were some complaints about lack of volume? Maybe Samsung fixed it because we have no complaints and I have no idea how loud it can go... but we rarely set the volume over 18-20 and I know it goes up into the 30's. Click on the menu and select Audio, then look at all the options for fixed settings... (speech, music, movies, etc.) and if you're finicky, there's a graphic equalizer to tweak to your hearts content for a custom sound definition.

HD picture quality is remarkable, and even the analog cable and digital cable channels are excellent. My source is Comcast cable. We've received nothing but compliments this past weekend as we hosted a sunday football party and the women loved the idea of a very stylish white TV suspended from the wall that can swivel in almost any direction. The guys were more concerned with the picture quality of the games and I have to say that we have no artifacting or crystalizing at all. Samsung hit a home run with this one.

I'll also say that Amazon's price beat any local retailer by a mile (almost $100.00 less) and the only available white unit I found was at Best Buy but it was the 20" version of this set and more expensive than the 22'!

Sweet!

As a semi-pro digital photographer I'm really critical about color accuracy. If you spend the time tweaking the various color settings you can get excellent results from a high-quality source. The up-scaling from standard video is a bonus, much better than any tube (CRT) TV, very smooth and detailed with no obvious artifacts. Check out "The Fellowship of the Ring" from the LotR trilogy--it looks almost like 3-D!!! I don't have HD but I expect the HD quality would be even higher.

As many have noted, the sound is adequate at best, but the built-in equalizer helps a lot. The Logitech S220 2.1 system would probably be a good sound upgrade for this TV.

The auto-matching of aspect ratio from various sources has worked perfectly. Again, a huge improvement over a standard 4:3 tube TV. My previous set was an outstanding 20" Toshiba flat-screen tube model (i.e., not LCD), but this Samsung LCD beats it in every respect. I'd never go back to a tube TV, and I think this Samsung is a great buy for the money.

Samsung 22 inch LCD TV

Excellent picture, easy set up, and a real value for the price.
Great TV for small room, den, or bedroom. Also, looks attractive
even just sitting there.

very pleased!

This is the second Samsung TV I have bought and I love it! I was so happy with the 46" I bought that I purchased this one for my bedroom. It is clear, sharp, and the design is sleek.

Outstanding Picture Quality; Love It !!

I really wanted a SONY but their choices for a smaller unit (like 22inches) was small to none. I have been using this TV for about 4 months now. After researching for months I finally decided to try the Samsung and I am not disappointed. It has incredible picture quality and truly for a 22inch you do not need a 1080 (leave that for 32 inch and up). For the reviews you see about bad picture quality, that may be true for AIR stations but not for the digital ones. Since we are switching to digital, who cares about the AIR stations? FYI - I don't have cable so I am reviewing this based on stright digital signals. Although you can get the digital signals without a digital antenna, I would recommend purchasing an antenna if you do not have cable. The signals will be stronger and you will pick up more channels. There are plenty of bells and whistles. My only regret is not waiting a few more months as the prices are much lower now. The only reason I didn't rate a 5 is becuase it's not a SONY. Other than that, it's perfection!!!
