Good value for 30" wide-screen tube TV with HDTV tuner

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: For a 30" 16:9 screen plus HDTV tuner, this TV has the best price, design, weight and picture, but reliability might not be there.
Review: UPDATE: 20 OCT 06 - Sadly I must knock down the reliability for this unit as it would no longer turn on. Unfortunately this is two months after the warranty expired. In home repair is quite expensive, and lugging this heavy thing to the shop is a...

Nice clear images; but, weak HDTV tuner

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2006
Review: All external sources display very nicely including an older Samsung STB. The internal HDTV tuner looses signals, stumbles and de-pixelates (watch the pixels crumble). The outside off-the-air antenna was rotated and tuned to it's strongest signal to...

Very good TV once I figured some things out...

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: You should definately get this TV if the specs are what you're looking for. I tried a few slightly cheaper options and this was definately worth the little extra money.
Review: I can't add much to the two reviews that are already here, but I want to add one additional fact in regards to gaming. As a test for this TV I ran "James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing" for XBOX through component connectors, and once I got to the...

Was it just bad luck?

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: I loved everything about the television and really wanted to keep it, but after 2 different sets with "magnet spots", I gave up on it.
Review: I'll try and keep this quick, as the previous review already covers most of the TV's good and bad. My experience with this tv was extremely negative.

I bought the set on a Saturday night from Best Buy for $850. Get the TV home, plug my...

Had this less than 3 years

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2007
Review: It was worked fine, until this morning - nothing - it's dead. Press the power button, and nothing happens. Called Samsung, they gave us a repair shop phone number and address. I have a bad feeling about this...

Don't do it

Date of Review:  Nov 15, 2007
Review: I wonder if the positive reviews listed here are from users who have had this tv set for any length of time. I thought it was a great value for the money when I bought it. the picture wasn't bad, and it came with good features. This month I have...

poor quality model; samsung usually does better

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: Pay a little more and get an LCD; this particular model CRT does not have the improved picture quality that it should over plasmas or LCDs. It was also unreliable.
Review: I bought this TV at Best Buy a little over three years ago. I chose it over LCD and plasmas since the combined factors of: picture quality; price; and reliability of a CRT were still superior to the other formats at that time.

Well, it was...

Great set at an excellent price.

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: I recommend this set. It is an HDTV ready set at a great price.
Review: It was time to buy a new TV, but the new one had to be HDTV compatible. So, after looking around stores at LCD and plasma models and asking for demos in both HDTV and NTSC, I decided that a CRT set would give the best picture when operating in both...

Do not waste your money.

Date of Review:  Sep 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this television. If you have the money to spend on a more expensive and reliable brand, do so. You will probably save money in repairs.
Review: I have owned this TV for less than 2 years, and it has completely stopped working. TWICE. The first time it died, we had to pay over $400 to have it repaired. That was about 6 months ago. The TV has once again stopped operating. The unit has never...
