Samsung LNT2653H 26" LCD HDTV (Review)
| Average Customer Rating: 4.0 |

| 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.

| I was looking for a HD TV monitor that I could hook up with my new home built PC- [which has a Nvidia 8800 GTS card that has DVI connections]. This TV will not work with a PC with DVI. Only the 2007 Samsungs will.
The FAQ at the Samsung website says: If you have a 2007 Samsung LN-T LCD TV and it has more than one HDMI jack, you can use the HDMI 1 input jack to connect to your computer's DVI video output jack using a DVI to HDMI cable. No Samsung LCD TV built before 2007 (LN-S series, LN-R series, LT-P series, etc.) has a DVI input for a computer. All models built before 2007, however, have an analog, 15 pin D-Sub (RGB) computer input. Important: Many of Samsung models built before 2007 have a combined HDMI/DVI input jack. You cannot use this combined HDMI/DVI jack to connect your pre-2007 Samsung TV to your computer's DVI video output jack. Samsung TVs built before 2007 do not support DVI to HDMI computer video connections. HTH Believe me, I have read every review on the internet for this tv. I always wanted to buy "The best" gaming tv for my xbox 360. I did not care about the price. I looked at Sony especially but no one has the response times and the experience as Samsung. I decided 26" would be a good size since it is for my bed room. I think this is a great compromise between the expensive 32" and the small 23". For those of you who are worried about the "high pitched noise" that many people are posting about, there is a high pitched noise AT TIMES. I would say it occurs less than 25% of the time. I myself am a teenager and it honestly doesnt bother me. The closest example to this noise is the sound of the high pitched cell phone ringer that is not heard by adults. Another quirk people might have is that if the standard cable looks good. Actually, it looks pretty good on this tv and I would rather watch shows on this then my tube. I do not have HD channels yet. As for sound, its decent I guess, I dont use the tv sound as I have a bose system to hook it up to that sounds much better. Honestly for xbox 360, the main use for this tv, I could not ask for anything more. I watched a few HD clips with the xbox live feature and these look amazing too. This truely is a good buy for Amazon's price of the low 700's. Amazon has a great return policy, there is no harm in trying to fantastic TV especially if you are a gamer like me. Nice Samsung! Mine was mfd April 2007. Beautiful design, but noticeable high pitched noise. Changed "backlight" down from 10, and it quieted the noise. At 7, I could not hear it. It's a shame. |
