Samsung TXN3075 30" Widescreen HDTV-Ready Flat Screen TV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would be extremely careful buying a large screen TV from Amazon.com. They have a no return policy on TV's larger than 27" that I was not made aware of upon purchase of the product. I received the television and realized after I had signed for delivery that there was some cosmetic damage to the TV's cabinet. I contacted Amazon.com the next day (which you can not do by phone; only e-mail) and was then alerted to this policy. They refused to provide me with a replacement TV.
The customer service was less than impressive and I would recommend buying this product from Circuit City or some other company that will guarantee the product and provide reasonable customer service. If you insist on purchasing from Amazon.com, I recommend you inspect the set thoroughly before signing for delivery. This is important b/c it is your only chance to refuse the product and Amazon.com will not make you aware of this.
All that said, it is a great HDTV monitor for the price point. It is a good anchor to a starter home theater setup. It displays progressive scan and HDTV signals very well. One thing to consider is that the set does not allow you to scale the aspect ratio for any of the HDTV inputs as many Sony sets do. This means that a full screen DVD will be stretched by the TV.
I would recommend this set for anyone looking to enter the world of HDTV at the sub $1000 price point. However, I would strongly urge you to consider buying from a electronics only dealer such as Best Buy, Circuit City, or Tweeter as Amazon.com can not match their level of customer service in this arena.

Big pictures no longer have to rest on big footprints, a fact exemplified by the 30-inch DynaFlat HD TXN3075. And the television is not only space-efficient, but well made: Samsung's proprietary DynaFlat technology provides a perfectly flat viewing image that has none of the curvature, image distortion, or glare associated with traditional screens.
Pro Chip NTSC-to-progressive-scan conversion improves typical (interlaced) TV viewing by combining odd and even scan lines, presenting flicker-free images, much like those found on today's better computer monitors. The picture becomes crisp from edge-to-edge, due in part to a 3D Y/C comb filter and velocity-scan modulation circuitry, which also maintains corner focus. If you want to watch Hollywood films at home on DVD, 3:2 pulldown is indispensable. The difference between film and video frame speeds causes slight blurring, stuttering, and other motion artifacts, especially during fast-action sequences. 3:2 pulldown corrects these anomalies so you can experience a smooth picture much closer to that of the original film.
In Samsung's DynaFlat HDTVs, the overall resolution is higher than earlier-generation sets because the individual phosphor color spots (pixels) are smaller and closer together. Its multiple-focus electron gun is capable of illuminating finer spots to achieve a much more detailed picture.
A DVD presented in progressive scan and/or HDTV content can be connected through either of two sets of auto-sensing wideband component-video inputs, and three rear-panel audio/video inputs (one with S-video) and a set of side AV inputs are also available. A pair of two-way, side-firing speakers with 15 watts per channel rounds out the set.
