Wider Viewing Angles
Left side, right side or upside-down, whatever your LCD TV's location, you can see any display clearly due to the 160° wide-viewing angle. Horizontally and vertically, your LCD TV will always be well placed to enjoy the entertainment no matter what your angle of view is.
CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp)
The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. Typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Certain Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors.
8ms Response Time
The ultra-fast eight-millisecond response time means smooth, crisp fast-action video.
1440 Horizontal x 900 Vertical Pixel Resolution
High resolution pixel density with built-in image scaler to handle inputs from a variety of digital and analog audio-video sources.

Great Secondary TV

By rjbg from new orleans, la (formerly chicago) on 09/14/2007.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Fast Setup
Cons:	None so far
Best Uses:	Office, Kitchen
Describe Yourself:	Practical

We bought this for our kitchen and it fits under the counter really well - doesn't take up so much space. Doesn't have the picture quality that our primary flat screen does, but I guess it shouldn't considering the price difference for a top of the line 42 inch vs. a more basic 19 inch.

Worth the Money

Pros:	Good Resolution, Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Attractive Design
Best Uses:	Office, Home
Describe Yourself:	Tech Savvy

Picture is still great even though I haven't yet switched to a HDTV cable box

Beautiful but need to subscribe to HD

By SF Girl in Chicago from Chicago, IL on 08/6/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Gearhead, Professional, Practical
Best Uses:	Home, Great TV for Kitchen, Office
Cons:	Need HD for quality, Poor Picture Quality
Pros:	Reduced Glare, Attractive Design, Fast Setup

Used while cooking in my large kitchen. The size is excellent for this purpose. The look is slick and blends right in to the kitchen. But, I do not like that I need to have HD in order for the picture to be good. I guess I should have known this before buying it but I have not bought a TV since Flat Screens, Plasma's and HD were hot. I guess I could pay more for an HD receiver but just not in the position to be paying that much for my second TV.

I would buy this product again
