Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp

The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp back lights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors. Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors - the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Customer Review: Great Product
tv was delivered as scheduled on a saturday. brought it into the my house and unpacked it and checked to make sure it was working. would definitely buy my next tv from amazon.
Customer Review: Great Value
The unit was repacked but immaculate. It provides an excellent picture when hooked to an HD source. The picture is a bit disappointing when it is not HD. I would definetly make this purchase again. I also own a sony bravia that is fantastic. I would however, purchase the Samsung instead for the difference in price.

Customer Review: SAVE YOUR MONEY
We purchased this during the Christmas sales from Tigerdirect. I used it for about 2 months without any problem. Then one day the lens stuck open and the screen went black. Power turned off. Tried removing the battery and replacing. Battery was charged up to full and still would not work. Zip, Zero response. About a week later I picked it up because I noticed the lens had retracted. Camera was not on. I turned it on and it worked fine. Then about 3 weeks later I used it again and was playing back the pictures on the screen when it did the same thing again. I recharged the battery to full and while hooked up to the computer I was able to turn it on and the lens retracted. But after a full charge it still will not turn on. Even connected to the computer it will not turn on. I have researched the Samsung site but nothing is mentioned about this problem. I did find the E18 error code that is associated to Canon cameras and the symptoms are the same except for the lack of the E18 code on the screen. In hindsight I wish I had purchased one a little more expensive that did not have this problem. I am in the process of trying to get a RMA for warranty repair. But if they are like Canon it will be a user error or misuse even though the camera is kept in a camera case and has not been abused at all. Wish we had spent another $50 and got a Sony.
Customer Review: A great camera - tremendous for the price
I think this camera is awesome for the price. I have tested or owned a bunch of point-and-shoot digital cameras, including a really nice Canon, Panosonic, Nikon, Sony, Casio, Kodak, HP, GE, and several Samsungs. For the money, this is the best of all of them - as I said, weighing price against quality. For some reason, this very well-made and solid camera, in my opinion, has gotten a mixed review - maybe it has too many cool things that it does - I don’t know. But it takes great pictures. I think it might be a bit inimidating for the point-and-shoot crowd, because it has all these programmable functions - but that’s all I can think of. I give this camera 5 stars all the way.

Customer Review: Nice way to shop
Made my search, find best price and shipping, one key purchasing, shipper brought it to the room I wanted. Samsung has a great picture. Overall am pleased with Almazon, the dealer, the shipper and the TV that is why I thought five stars was earned.
Customer Review: Awesome Picture.
I teach film and wanted something that would enhance my viewing experience without overwhelming my medium sized, 14 wide by 20 living area. This TV is perfect and the sound, unlike some of the smaller Samsungs, is very good. While not the theatrical surround sound experience, the down facing speakers work well and produce realistic tones whether you are listening to voice or music. They also allow for a clean appearance which is further enhanced by the touch of red screen. If you are not the techie type and cringe at hooking up one more wire or don’t want to lay out another $500 on sound, you should be quite happy with this set just the way it is. My couch is about 12 feet from the screen, while the arm chairs go as close as 6. I find this distance just about perfect for watching the 50 inch screen. I’ve even had a few friends comment that they almost felt dizzy watching large, fast moving, objects on the screen. If you are wondering how big to go, I personally don’t think paying $$$ for an inch or two more will make a difference unless you have a very large room and want to bump up to 60 or 65″. The kids should be adequately wowed by their video games on this one. I also like the set of video connectors on the side of the TV which allow you to connect cameras and other devices without having to get to the back of the set. My TV arrived fully assembled in the box. No struggling to get the base on. Amazon offered free white glove delivery and the gentleman placed the TV on my stand without so much as leaving a finger print on the frame or screen. Since the TV is quite heavy this was good to have. He also told me about adding a “line filter” to remove sine waves from the AC as he said some clients encountered small squiggly lines on their screen. Luckily the power center I bought already had digital filters on all the lines. I’ve had the set for two months and use it with a new Sony s350 Blu-ray player. The only problem I’ve had so far is not wanting to leave home!! Great product.

Make a statement with SAMSUNGs new Touch of Color design. It features a hint of color naturally blended into the traditional piano black frame. Transforming our already stylish TVs into a work of art, it truly is unlike anything youve ever seen.
Customer Review: How thin is it really, wall mounting
Perhaps most people will use the included stand, and set it on top of a console that is 18″-20″ deep, so the thinness is more wow factor (the 950 LED is actually thicker). But when wall mounting, chosen to balance the height between seated and standing (centerline above floor 55″), thin was an important factor in my install. The side of the TV will be visible in the normal traffic flow through the house, so I wanted to get this mounted as cleanly and closely as possible so it wasn’t going to shout “I have a wall HDTV” the second someone walked in the house. I had some challenges. There are wall mount brackets that are 1/2″ thick (they don’t provide tilting adjustment). Since the power cord and patch cords project out the back, I tried to accomodate that by using a recessed AV mounting plate. In the end, I was able to get the TV to sit just 1″ from the wall. Routing 2 HMDI, component, SVHS, and audio cords behind the set was also a challenge. For those who are wanting to take this on, get the shortest AV cables you can find, and ones with the least amount of meat near the jack so that the cords bend freely (the more you pay, the more room the cable requires). Position carefully a recessed AV plate (I just couldn’t leave an open hole behind the sets for the cords). Watch the location of your studs, since the mounting plate and the AV panel will, most likely, span several studs. Patch cords with 90 degree cords would have been great, but I couldn’t find them. The end result is the face of the bezel is a respectable 2.9″ from the wall, about the same depth as a quality picture frame.
Customer Review: The Difference
So you wanted to know the difference? Here it is. It’s THINNER. Actually the thinnest Samsung has ever made @ 1.9″ Other than that nothing has changed between 750-850. However the 950 there has been a substantial change. LED SmartLighting as been added to the 950 which according to Samsung it only brightens the areas of the screen that need to be, in short this addition gives the 950 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

Customer Review: looks great
I’ll be honest, only bought it because I wanted a tv that looked “cool”. In my opinion this is the best looking tv out there, so went right for it. Expensive, true, but so are decorative items in general. Regarding the rest: - Picture quality is great, but im not an expert. I cant tell the difference between any of the expensive hdtvs. all look the same to me - Sound: also not an expert here, but this is where I think the tv could be better. At high volumes it sounds like what you’d hear from $50 dollar computer speakers. - I really like the additional functionalities: plugging it to the internet to have live stock quotes, news feed and weather worked right out of the box. Also hooking it up to the network to be able to watch pictures and movies stored on my computer’s hard-disk was a breeze (once again, im quite clueless with these things, so I think they did a great job if it was this simple) - one major negative is that the TV does indeed interfere with some remote controls as others have noted (timewarnercable hd cable box is one of them). I got around it by having a thick woden cabinet with glass doors that does a good job at shielding the cablebox from the IR emitted by the TV, but others are suffering from major issues… Overall I like it a lot because it looks fantastic as a decorative item and of course overall its a great tv (but i’m sure they all are in this price range). would give it 4 stars as opposed to 5 mainly due to the speakers being weak, but gave it 5 stars by mistake and cant change it to 4….but then again, probably deserves 5 just based on looks(!)
Customer Review: IR Issues with dish/comcast settop boxes ??
First things first: I did not purchase this TV (yet). Its been sitting in my cart and before I pressed that buy button I thought I’d see if there was any feedback from the avsforum community. Apart from the glorious reviews about the picture quality on this TV, I read something else that is bothering me quite a bit. It seems that more than a few people (people who actually own this TV) are finding that several set-top boxes from Dish network, Comcast (and some models of Tivo) behave erratically due to IR signals coming out of this TV. This is especially true when the TV is turned ON and the consensus seems to be that the panel backlight is emitting IR signals causing the havoc. Here is a link to the thread discussing about this problem: […] It seems that Samsung is aware of the problem and hopefully they fix it soon. I am posting this here since I believe this is important information for people like me who are(were) on the verge of buying this set. Also Amazon.com adds greater visibility. I am giving this 4 stars since I am not an owner of this set and do not want to effect the rating anyway.

An ultra-thin, piano-black bezel lets you enjoy more screen and less frame; combined with its slim depth, light weight and hidden speaker system, it fits where others won’t(TM). Samsung’s Cinema Smooth(TM) light engine delivers the widest range of brilliant colors, while a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio renders every picture in perfect detail, from the darkest darks to brightest whites, and every tone in between. SRS TruSurround XT(TM) delivers sound that is clear and full. Three HDMI inputs in version 1.3 render your digital movies, photos and more with greater color depth.
Customer Review: Reliability issues
I purchased this TV a week ago. It arrived on a Friday; I took it out of the packaging and put it on the stand on Saturday; I went through the menus and set it up on Sunday; and Monday the screen wouldn’t come on (and hasn’t come on since). I opened a service ticket with Samsung with my warranty: they sent a tech out to my house to replace the system board, which had no effect. So I’m now waiting on a replacement DMD board, but they’re out of stock, so this may be a while. So it’s worked for me for just under two days. Not what I’d consider a sterling record.
Customer Review: WOW
Bought this Samsung HDTV a month ago. This is my first HDTV, so I may not be an expert, but the picture is beyond my wildest hopes. The details are bright, crisp, and first class. You can see everything that you always imagined could be possible with excellent hdtv. Look in the background of any scene and look at the books or dvds on shelves of the actors and you know who the characters are. I have owned big screen tv for over 25 years. Nothing compares to this picture. Just hope it lasts - the bulbs are known to go out quickly. I will follow up in a few months with updates. Make sure you are hooked up to hd cable or hd satellite receiver.

Customer Review: Very good (cost-benefit)!
The cam is good and cheap. The problem is only about the battery… it goes really fast.
Customer Review: Great camera for the price
This camera is excellent. It is the 3rd digital I’ve owned and I’ve enjoyed it very much. It’s compact and full of features. You MUST, however, use super alkeline batteries because it eats the normal ones up fast. The batteries made for digital cameras do much better and are worth the price. The camera has a video feature that outshines any other camera I’ve seen on the market. I would highly recommend this product as a good value for little money you pay for it

Samsung has built a stellar reputation in the fine art of television manufacturing. Besides offering an incredible amount of value, the product itself easily competes head on with similar products costing hundreds of dollars more. How? Simple. Being one of the largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world has its benefits. Utilizing a high percentage of Samsung’s own parts allows it to focus the attention on high quality throughout the design. Result? A world-class product that truly dazzles the eye.

Customer Review: The best 10MP camera for the money
I previously bought a 10MP Fuji camera. I returned it because it was not a good camera. It was tough choosing another camera that was not too expensive. After a lot of time I chose this one and I am glad I did. I like a digital camera that takes good shots of people. I like a camera that brings out good flesh tones in people. This camera does it. Most all the pictures are sharp with great color. NO camera will make perfect shots on every shot. This one has a high success rate especially in auto mode. I have some great shots of El Salvador! I have a 10MP DSLR that is great. For taking regular snapshots of life, this little baby is great. It is clean, clear and small. It did take a while to learn the buttons and menus but take your time, you will learn. Here are the PROS and CONS PROS 1. Small 2. Seems durable 3. Great snapshots 4. Great for taking shots of people 5. Good for landscapes 6. I like the dial on top, it reminds me of SLR cameras. 7. Many modes and easy to change between all. 8. You can change ISO from 100 to 1600 9. I held this camera out the window of a taxi in San Salvador, El Salvador and took 10 random pictures WITHOUT image stabilization turned on. All photos came out SHARP. 10. It has a great, rechargeble L-ION battery that you can re-charge via USB or AC. CONS 1. A little slow between shots. Could be my non fast SD card (older model). 2. Video is not great. It is a little shaky. I played with the controls and made it better. 3. It has a strange spring loaded cover on the side for charging, AV etc. I dont know if it will last for long. 4. The image stabilization doesn’t help much. It already is very stable. If money is no object, buy a Canon for double the price. If not, buy this. It is a great camera. I am very happy with it.
Customer Review: Style Slimmed to Perfection
I just got this camera today so it won’t reflect too much on technical aspects/features. First of all I want to say that the picture featured here and Best Buy for L200 isn’t correct. If you want to see the accurate picture then find L210 model and L200 looks exactly like that model. Only difference between the two model is L200 has Digital Image Stabilizer and L210 has Dual Stabilizer (both optical and digital). I was really surprised at how small this camera is. I know lot of people actually coomplains of the compactness of some digital cameras, now I see their reason for complaint. Because it really does feel like it might slip and fall. But I like compact/thin cameras so it was big plus for me. It comes with an AC adapter so you are not stuck with USB cable to recharge the camera through your computer. Also included in the package is A/V cable to view pictures or video directly through TV monitor. Manual that comes with the package isn’t much help since it’s just a quick reference with 10 other languages. So you need to download the manual through the CD-ROM and it is 102 page worth of info that needs to be digested before actually appreciating all the features this little camera comes with. I took about 30 picture today and all of them look superb and I was twicking with different settings and modes. Best reason to get this camera is the price. Update: I have been using this camera for 15 days and I love all the quick scene modes and program mode. Auto mode does everything really well, too. One complaint I’ve is that it doesn’t let you delete a shot during preview. For example, after you’ve taken a shot you can view it from 1-3 sec but you won’t be able to delete the shot then rather have to go to picture view to delete. But I’m very satisfied with the quality pictures.

Customer Review: excellent TV
I use this TV in my bedroom. The picture and features are great! I’m very happy that I decided to make this purchase, although the screen does look a little smaller than I thought it would. You may wish to consider a 20″ or 22″ instead. The 19″ does work OK for me, though, because I’m only about 5′ away from it. I wish Amazon would be more careful with their packaging. The TV came in its original box from the mfg’er, which was put into a box about twice as large with very little packing material for cushioning. Very poor job, Amazon!
Customer Review: Wonderful set at a great price!
I am very pleased with this set! I’d purchased it to place in my kitchen; the viewing distance from my kitchen table to the set is 8 feet, and I can watch with perfect visibility; the kitchen counter stretches another 7 feet and I am fine viewing the screen from that distance as well. Hooking up the HD cable box is a piece of cake, and I’d completed the task within 20 minutes; the TV will then automatically update the channels and you can of course, customize them as well. The color is great, and the deep red color within the frame of the set is very subtle. I truly believe that the clarity and crispness of this picture is better than my larger diameter HD set! Additionally, Samsung ranks high on dependability… The savings on the set is significant; PC Richards offered me a “rock bottom” price of $450.00; with tax, it was topping out at $481.00. Here at Amazon, there wasn’t any sales tax, and being I am an Amazon prime member, I received 2 day shipping at no extra charge! Collectively, it is a savings of over $100.00! Buy this set; you won’t be disappointed! Ellen
