Features:

3000:1 contrast ratio
Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Watch movies and shows come to life with enhanced details in very dark or bright scenes. Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that�s sure to catch your eye
SRS TruSurround XT�
Samsung TVs are equipped with the best that technology can offer in sound quality. Our 2 speakers always deliver an enhanced, virtual surround-sound listening experience that brings your HDTV experience to another level
CCFL - Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp
Enjoy brighter, more true-to-life pictures and vivid colors that will simply amaze you. Samsung LCD HDTVs give you 92% coverage of the National Television System Committee�s standard as compared to the 72% that competitors offer. That translates to brilliant images that really enhance your entertainment experience.
Energy Star compliant
By being Energy Star compliant you are assured that your Samsung model is helping the environment by using less energy while saving you money. Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy promoting energy efficiency
8 ms response time
One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 8 ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes
Hidden bottom speakers
Less is more. Just because you can�t see the stylishly concealed speakers doesn�t mean you won�t hear the unbelievably clear sound radiating from them
PC compatible
Samsung LCD TVs can also function as high-resolution PC monitors without sacrificing picture quality. Outperforming PC monitors in brightness, response time, resolution and of course, screen size, Samsung lets you adapt to the expanding multi-media revolution

Excellent product and BEST VALUE

By MartyC from Los Angeles on 02/26/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Best Uses:	Home, Bedroom, Perfect for Kitchen
Pros:	Reduced Glare, Fast Setup, Bright Image, Good Resolution, Simple Controls, Good Connection Options, Attractive Design

The picture is sharp and clear--excellent resolution--and the colors are bright and very natural. In contrast to some of the other reviewers, I found the sound quality and volume to be quite good. Perhaps it is the placement, since I have it on the kitchen granite counter. The downward direction of the speakers may reflect the sound off of the countertop in an upward and outward direction into room. ????? In summary, I am completely satisfied with Samsung T.V., and believe that it is, by far, the best T.V. value on the market. It is extremely cheap considering the quality.

disappointing sound

By TV Gal from Chicago, IL on 01/14/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Best Uses:	Home
Cons:	Poor Sound
Pros:	Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Good Connection Options, Good Resolution, Attractive Design, Bright Image, Reduced Glare

Rear located speakers could be better. When placed in shelving unit, sounds tinny.

Not Impressed.

By Mike from Union Grove,WI on 01/5/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Casual User
Cons:	Poor Sound

After spending time in the set up and on the phone with Samsung and ABT and the local cable company it was found that the tuner was not working right. The set would only store some cable channels but not all of them.

Samsung 22

By Frank (retired broadcast engineer) from Memphis, TN. on 01/5/2009.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Bright Image, Good Connection Options, Fast Setup, Reduced Glare
Cons:	NO VARIBLE AUDIO LINE OUT, Poor Sound
Describe Yourself:	Power User
Best Uses:	Wall Mounting, Bedroom

Good looking flat screen TV on or off! With most all flat screen TVs in this size range expect fairly poor sound in contrast to the great picture. An external audio system is a must. However, with NO varible audio line out, no remote can adjust the line level output. This is a big negative for a simple bedroom setup. The only way around this problem is to take the headphone output which IS varied by the remote. I personally don't like that approach but it works.

Review of Samsung 22

By Joaneek from Atlanta, Ga on 10/30/2008.

Best Uses:	Bedroom, Office
Pros:	Bright Image, Good Connection Options, Reduced Glare, Simple Controls, Attractive Design, Fast Setup, Good Resolution
Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Cons:	Sound could be better

This TV is the third TV I bought to use on our screened in porch and for taking with us in our motor home. I returned to 1st 2 because of picture quality and sound quality. The picture on this TV is exceptional for the size and had the best sound of the 3 TVs. I do use PC speakers that connect to a USB port on the TV and that resolved the sound issue for me. Great little set.
