Best Buy Lcd HDTV Blog

Good TV
TV works well, sound good and has a viewable picture from different angles. Would purchase another one.

Satisfactory for what I needed
We had a 13" tv/vcr combo that we used in a small motor home. As we now have mostly DVDs, we were looking for a replacement that we could also used on our srceen porch. Our size limitation was the space in the RV available for TV. This really left only 19' or smaller. After a lot of looking we decided on the Samsung 19". We have been satisfied with it both in the RV and on the porch. I would have preferred something larger for the porch, but it is acceptable. The picture and color are excellent. As some reviewers have said, the tuner is a bit slow to react to on/off and change of channels. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with it. AS we all are more used to larger screens and more powerful technoligy, the Samsung should only be compared to similar models. 720p is not 1080p. The TV has a very complete set of connections. My only complaint has been the audio volume via the companion Samsung DVD player we purchased with it. That has been less than best. This led me to have several conversations with Samsung support. I would give it a 3-4 out of 5. Each support representive supports only one product type; i.e., TV is one and DVD player is a second. The two do not meet. One gave me some suggestions; one transferred me and I was hung up on; and the last one suggested I reset the DVD player. Enough about the DVD plyer. The TV has done what we wanted.

Purty Picutre, Great Value!
Having moved across country temporarily to find the furnished apartment furnished with an ancient tiny TV, I set myself the task of finding an affordable interim replacement. My "real" TV is a larger sized LCD Samsung and I have been very happy with it for the last two years, so I was not hesitant to get another Samsung, especially with the good reviews of this model. I was not disappointed! This TV has a beautiful picture. It is crisp, clear, responsive (for video games), and has great color.

The sound, oddly enough, is much better than my bigger Samsung. Perhaps Samsung has inconsistent speaker quality? I noticed some other reviewers complaining about the speakers, but I really find the sound quality to be quite clear and rich for such a small TV. Makes me think if I were to buy another and got crappy sound, I'd either return the TV or have Samsung fix it.

I've noticed that the menu options and firmware, while closely resembling those of my older TV, are in fact much improved. The channel selection is more intelligent, and my favorite thing is the picture resizing options. They are far more flexible. On my old TV, they are frustrating and I always seem to have black bars in one direction or another. This TV will cycle through any option you could want at the touch of a button. Wish I could upgrade my old TV's firmware, sigh. But on this tv, you can! There's an option to upgrade from USB in the future in case there are more improvements to the firmware. Joy to a geek like me, I suppose.

The plan was to sell this TV when I move back home, but I am sorely tempted to keep it for use in my kitchen, I like it so much.

Oh, and there was no sticker on the screen, so I guess that's no longer an issue? I like the glossy frame, and while it does reflect a bit of light, the screen itself is so vivid and engaging, even for its small size, that I don't notice any glare at all while I'm watching the TV. Also, even though this set is small, the clear picture makes it more visible than you'd think, though I do miss my big screen!

In short, if this is the size you need, then this is a great TV, especially for the price!

Crystal clear quality at a great price.
This is as good a buy on a TV as you will find anywhere. It has the same crystal clear picture that Samsung big screens are known for, and the size is perfect for my office. The sleek design made it easy for me to hang it on the wall just four feet from where I sit at my computer station in the corner, allowing for a little extra desk space (my designs are neat; my desk is not).

The sound is more than adequate for a set this size, but there are complete AV and Component inputs on the back (plus PC In), so you can create a robust system if that's what you want.

I'm not a big fan of the glossy black finish on the frame, but it's not bad and the transparent lip on the bottom is a nice touch. All in all, you really have to love it, and at this price you can't go wrong.

Good little TV for Kitchen or Bath
No complaints, works as expected. Audio is sufficient for our needs. We opted for white to match wall for flush mount.

came in handy
I bought the TV just for the bedroom and ended up using it as a PC monitor as well as a television set. The built in tuner works great and allows me to get some HD channels that I couldn't get with my set top tuner. Very happy with it. The only downside would be the size. I didn't realize how small a 19 inch TV is because I'm use to my bigger TV in the living room.

Junk
This item lasted about one year before the screen went black. It costs as much to fix it as it does to replace it. Save your money for a decent TV.

Funai pretends to care about customer satisfaction
My daughter asked me to find a reasonably priced HD/SD/NTSC TV for college. I did a search and found this sylvania. Problems from the onset...the remote died 3 hours after use. I called and it took 6 to 8 weeks to receive a replacement. I probably could have lived with this but there is more. A week later (after the remote died) the LCD screen developed problems. It took two weeks for it to be picked up and then when I called for status they said another 6 to 8 weeks. I finally called amazon and they apologized and asked why I didn't tell them sooner? I just thought it would be faster and easier to deal with the manufacturer...was I wrong. Funai would not send me a new replacement and in fact wanted me to send it back to Amazon. What a sorry company..... I am still waiting for the TV to send it back to Amazon.

Beautiful quality at a decent price
I received almost the same TV but in a larger screen size as a Christmas present, so when I needed to add a second TV for my bedroom I went with the same brand. Very nice picture, decent sound, reliable.

Nice for a small room
Nice enough TV. I was kind of disappointed because it was advertised with an HDMI input but had none. (This has since been corrected in ad). Speakers are weak and would need additionals if being used in a large room. Picture is clear and bright and it picks up the HD channels in my area just using rabbit ears.

Great medium size TV
Samsung LN26A450 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV I have always been a Sony man but this TV has sold me on Samsung! I bought it for the bedroom and it is really a nice good looking TV as well as a great performer. The audio sound is terrific for it's size and I couldn't be more satisfied. You can leave the default settings as they are or tweak it to suit yourself because there are so many adjustments (If you want to) The picture is also great and does not leave you wanting for anything. You can't go wrong on this one and I highly recommend it.

Very Good HD Picture
Very good HD picture, I have two Panasonic Plasmas, and this for its size, is just as good of a picture.

If you are looking for a small HD set, this is it.

Samsung ... Ok.
Not a bad product, but the clarity could be better. The picture looks quite grainy when viewing videos from the internet via an S-video cable. Yet to try HDMI. Haven't tried regular TV cable. Nice finish though. Great delivery by Amazon. Arrived prior to estimated delivery date.

Shiva's Review
All the HDMI ports on the TV are not working. When I reported the problem, I was told that the TV needs to be shipped to their location at my expense and that it would take upto 3 weeks for the TV to be fixed and returned to me. I was not given the option to return the product and get a replacement.

Amazing picture
Could not ask for more in a TV. All the connections you could ever want. QAM tuner picks up local channels in HD through cable. Picture is amazing. Highly recommend if looking for a TV this size for a bedroom or other small area. Ours is out on the terrace mounted using the Peerless PA740 Articulating Wall Mount. Great combination at a great price.

WOW!
MY first HDTV. Ordered TV on Thursday, it arrived on Tuesday via CEVA. The whole thing took about 20 minutes for me to set-up. Setting up the stand involved screwing in about 7 screws and I was in business. I picked up a HDTV box with a HDMI port(Comcast) and hooked up to the TV. Pressed the ON button and--WOW!

For those complaints about how long it takes to start up after you hit the power button, I'd say it takes about 3 seconds, if you are that pressed for time you ought to chill out.

The picture is great and the price is right. If you are thinking of purchasing this product, you couldn't get a better little present for yourself.

Samsung 32-inch 720p LCD is great starter TV
This is the very first flat screen TV I've ever bought and it did not disappoint. As advertised, the picture quality is excellent--even for a 720p TV, the HD channels really are striking. And although some reviews have questioned the sound quality, I think this TV has very good sound for the room I have it in. It has a lot of extra features like HDMI ports that I am not yet using but will allow me growth room to do so. Amazon price was the best on this set -- free delivery took 1-2 weeks, but when it showed up the delivery folks set it up for me no questions asked. I'd recommend this set for everyone.

Can't beat Samsung
My 2nd Samsung TV. Delivery was ahead of schedule and installation was done as promised. Samsung is the best. Will buy all my electronics from Amazon. Amazon & Samsung are #1!!!

Great picture - Easy installation !!!
I mounted this LCD on a wall. It looks great and the picture is excellent. The LCD has the correct supports in the rear for mounting. Also, duplicate input/output connections on the SIDE and REAR for cable, etc., makes it real convenient.
Amazon price was best I could find - -100 less than the big box stores and NO tax. LCD ordered on Sunday - delivered on Thursday !!! Strongly recommend.

Samsung LN32450 - excellent!
The TV required some simple assembly but was ready to hook up in under ten minutes. Hook up was only complicated by feeding the cables through my cabinet. The picture is astounding! I shopped this brand for about four months and am very happy with the purchase.
We have HD satellite and are always laughing at how much "worse" CSI (and all the others) is now that we can see all the grisly details with a clarity that makes us cringe. Can hardly wait to view some really seriously gory "splatter" film just for the heck of it!
Samsung has a great TV.

White Gloves CEVA is not good
Delivery service was less than adequate.One man came to deliver tv. He was unable to transport it to second floor and hook it up to see if it worked. My wife had to help carry it up and hook it up.

This TV is Freakin' Sweet!
I ordered this Friday morning (11/14/2008), took advantage of the free shipping, white glove delivery and 0 off the Samsung 1500 Blu-ray player. The 1500 shipped out later that same evening, while the TV itself shipped out on Monday.

I was a little hesitant about CEVA shipping it, as I haven't heard of them prior to purchasing this TV. The reviews I have read on here have been mixed, and I was a little dismayed to see that Amazon's estimated arrival date wasn't until 11/26/08. I kept tracking the package online and saw it was actually in my area on Wednesday. A quick call to CEVA and they set up delivery the next day at 9:00 am. Got an immediate confirmation email, and a call at 8:30 this morning verifying delivery. They showed up right on time (a little early even), brought the TV to my room, unpacked it and placed it on my TV stand. They had offered to hook up all of the connections for me but I declined, part of the fun of getting a new HDTV is setting it up yourself ;-) They made sure the sound worked great, no dead pixels or lines before they had me sign. A+++ with CEVA, could not have asked for anything better.

Now onto the TV itself. The TOC is nice, though not too noticeable to me. The sound is great, granted I have a small room and don't have it cranked up, but I'm still very pleased. Hooked it up to my Samsung Blu-ray, Popped in "The Mist Blu-ray" and was immediately blown away. A quick search on Google gave me some suggestions on specific color settings and I was able to sit back and be amazed for the next two hours. Some scenes looked as if I was really there, it's that amazing!

Since I have a Blu-ray dvd player that is also a Samsung, I can controll both items with just one remote. If I pop in a dvd, it will automatically turn the tv on, which is nice. The downside is, is that if I am watching a dvd and puse it to switch over to something else, then it will stop my dvd and I'll have to find where I left off manually, which can be a little annoying. One broght side of this set-up, is taht when I pop in a dvd to watch while I fall asleep, the sleep timer will turn my tv AND dvd player off, which is great.

Still trying to figure out how to set up the RSS feeds with my wireless adapter plugged into the usb port, but I'll look again after work.

As many have said, the preloaded features are cool the first few moments, but I seriously doubt I'll look at them ever again. The wheel on the remote can be a little tricky, but overall not too bad. If you get too frustrated, you can still click in the direction you want, instead of using the wheel to scroll.

I'll be updating this review every so often to keep everyone informed on how the set holds up after time, as well as any issues or whatnot that hopefully will not occur.

Love that TV. AMAZING HD picture
I really like that TV. I went with the 750 and really happy about that. The design is superb. The remote is a bit clunky. The HD picture is AMAZING. Blu ray (from PS3) is amazing on that TV. PS3 gaming are fantastic. Sound is good. Wii looks very good as well. Lots of HDMI connectors which is a plus.
120Hz looks great. No ghosting images. Sports events look amazing. Things are so sharp, you can see anything in the image. I feel like I put a better glasses when I watch that TV.
What can I say. It was a great buy. Samsung has a very good product line.

Shipping was awesome as well. (Ceva)

Go 4 it!

This tv is AMAZING! Highly recommended and affordable.
I cannot say enough good things about this tv, I highly recommend it if you are shopping for a new 40" tv. First off let me say to date the picture is superb out of the box. A little tweaking the picture using the menus and it looks even better as you watch Blu-Ray movies like Iron Man or Batman Begins. The PS3 is the perfect way to demonstrate how amazing web browsing can be on this screen and the Xbox 360 also outline the amazing picture quality of this tv. I spent 95 when I ordered this from Amazon, got free shipping and a guy from CEVA wheeled the tv into my house, took the box off and even offered to set it up. I told him I could handle it and once I started watching cable, playing games and watch Blu-Ray movies, I was confident I had arrived to the high definition land of milk and honey. I cannot get over how amazing this tv is. Run out and buy this! Oh and I received this tv within 4 days of my order and I live in California. The 120 HZ frame mode looks weird, almost like quick or fast movements are put on fast forward. Its unatural when you watch tv or movies. I highly recommend you turn it off. In games, i havent tried it, maybe its awesome since games are fictional recreations that never quite look photo realistic to begin with. Anyways thats the only bad thing I can think of off the top of my head and even then, its not a bad feature. Just an added feature you might get used to the more you use it.

Wow!
Since everyone's got their own issues and configuration, I'll talk about our configuration, not just the TV itself.

Bottom line: this TV is fantastic.

We just got it along with the Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-ray Player and a cheap HDMI cable. Amazon threw in two free Blu-ray disks. For a couple of bucks a month we've upgraded our Netflix subscription to Blu-ray.

Delivery of the TV was simple--we inspected for physical damage, checked the TV to make sure it worked, and sent the deliveryman on his way.

We get over-the-air TV, not cable or satellite. I just plugged in the antenna cable, powered up the TV. In a minute it found all the channels (regular and DT and HD), set itself up, and was good to go. The only mistake it made was on Daylight Savings Time--it thinks it has already ended, so I had to manually reset the time.

Stunning picture, elegant design, right-out-of-box set-up. The Samsung Blu-ray remote works perfectly with this TV. It's a little cleaner layout than the nice but many-buttoned Samsung TV remote. (Our second Blu-ray disk displayed an irksome "Bonus View' box, but a quick Google search led me to a button sequence--Popup Menu/Info/Popup Menu--to make it go away.)

The TV speakers are great. Perhaps down the road we'll add a speaker system , but in our not-so-big living room the TV sound seems plenty good enough.

We've got lots of windows and sunlight, but the screen of this Samsung is fine even in full daylight. The touch-of-red is subtle, and the overall look is sleek and elegant.

We waited a long time to replace our 1991 Panasonic Prism 19" TV, and did a lot of reading of reviews. You won't want to wait as long as we did to get this great TV.

HDMI
Make sure you buy an HDMI cable. Much better than composite or S-video. Plus you only need one cable for both video and audio. Great picture. Make sure your cable box has HDMI output. If not call cable company and ask for a swap.

BEST YET
You need to have a good source of hd programming in your area to get the full benifits this tv has to offer. its breath taking. a blu ray player gives full 1080p.but even with 1080i that most cable broad cast in its great to see bright bold colors. it wont make you sea sick on fast pace sports or action movies with the added 120hz. im still in awe of its beauty. if thinking of buying sony dont do it .Samsung is a step above and for less $$$ the 650 is just as nice with a couple less feature not much different for most users.

Amazing TV
This is an incredible TV. After previewing it at a store, we decided to purchase it online to save a few $$$$. The picture seems to be almost better than when we saw it in the store.

Delivery was a little slower than expected, but, it arrived only one day late. Box arrived with no visible damage at all.

This is a great TV for a bright room. The display is very crisp. Colors are incredible. Sunlight in the room does not take away from the colors on the TV. Setup of the TV was fairly straightforward.

WLink option takes some "tweaking" to get it to work. We are now able to display pictures, play movies and music from our computer directly to the TV. That was a big selling point for us on this TV. Be sure to download the latest version of the share manager software.

Awesome all around TV with a little more
This LCD TV is amazing. I spent months looking for the right TV for the right price. The color contrast ratio is one of the best on any LCD TV. Playing games, watching HDTV, and Blue Ray is stunning. I only really looked the visual capabilities of the TV's, but was surprised when I turned on the sound of the TV. It's clear and crisp.

The auto motion plus is simply amazing for sports. It's a totally new experience. With 4 HDMI ports there is plenty of to go around for all devices.

The TV has many extra little features like USB side mount that allows very easy access to set up all those home movies.

The info Link is a cool little feature that allows you to see the weather, stock, and news. This is a cool little feature that is just nice to have.

My only negative to this TV has nothing to do with the TV, but the remote itself. It always seems to stop working at random time and work at others. The remote is not nearly as sleek as the TV. But get your self a universal remote and that is simply taken care of.

Great HDTV!
I have this TV mounted on my wall using a Peerless Universal tilt wall mount for 37" - 60" flat panel TVs. The TV is great, no problems with shipping, or install. The picture is just fantastic, I have the Direct TV HD with all the bells and whistles. The sound is pretty good when using just the TV, but better with a surround sound receiver and speakers. I have the network hooked to it, and a LACIE NAS drive with all my music and pictures. It all works as expected. I also purchased the Samsung PB-D1500 Blue ray player. This combo is nice as the player is in a cabinet and the TV transmits the remote control signals to it without an additional repeater. I have read other reviews which seemed to suggest that the touch of red was annoying. The Touch of Red does not even light up, it's so subtle that you can only see it when direct sunlight hits it. I'd recommend this TV to anyone I know. (In fact there are 3 family members that have Samsung flat screen TV's now!)

What-A-Buy!!
I own multiple LCD HDTVs. I had been shopping around for a 46 or 47 inch when I found the LN46A750. The contrast ratio is excellent with the black capabilities of the higher end models. Plenty of extras and great sound. You can turn the 120Hz off if desired. If you are looking for a 46 inch full-HD television with 120Hz frame rate, this one is for you! By the way, the red touch-of-color on the cabinet is not a distraction.

Awsome!!
My TV came in today and wow!! This is the most user friendly TV I have ever mess around with! It took me 2 weeks before I finally made up my mind. Amazon and the customer reviews helped me out a ton so thank you all! The screen resoulution is incredible. The first movie a had to watch was Transformers on Blu-Ray and man was that a good choice!

worth the money!
everything is good with this tv. the only thing i would complain is that it does not have a remote control option to change the aspect ratio/mode. I need to go through couple steps.

There might be a way that i am not aware of tooo....

overall it is worth the money.

Samsung has a great picture!
The picture is just great! This is really the reason I wanted this set. It also has really good sound also. I find myself looking around for noises that are really from the TV. Many features like "contents" are included but I don't think they will be used much.. games, pitures, songs... Many if Samsung releases web updates for it, it may be of more use. The infolink is really a nice feature, but it doesn't diplay all of your pictures or movies. You need to show only a few at a time, delete them, then show more.
The PIP is really a rip off.. It doesn't work unless you have another device with a tuner althought I still haven't got it to work yet. (I have a Digital convertor box and a VCR and it still doesn't see them a tuners) I was suprised that the tv does not get very much information as to what channel ID's are (like WGN, WTTW, ect;) or even what is on. Very few channels have this information. My old CRT TV almost always had information for every channel and for days ahead as well.

Overall, I am happy with it and love the picture quality of the digital stations, but the analog stations look worse than my old CRT TV. You can delete all the analog stations so it skips them, and goes to the digital one instead. (delete 5, and watch 5-1 instead!)

Excellent tv, great price!
I was a little nervous about purchasing such a big-ticket item online, but the price difference was overwhelming. I took the plunge, and saved nearly 0 on this tv by purchasing it from Amazon (vs. Circuit City, Best Buy, Sears, etc.). Got the 3-year extended warranty, which was also cheaper than local retailers. Delivery was excellent -- nice guy, helped me unpack the tv, put it on the table, check for any damage, get it plugged in, check to be sure it worked. It's a great tv, we love it! Amazon was definitely the smart (economic) way to go. Best of luck to retailers who can't compete.

Great TV, Great Price!!
So far I have been very happy with this TV, I bought it to use as a bedroom TV.

Now, I have had and HD TV in my living room for a few years now (another Sony) and now that I have this one I see some of the changes made to the newer TVs and now I want to replace the living room TV because of these changes. Seems like there have been some very nice 'software' upgrades as far as the menu system and some of the features I wish my older TV had.

I didn't buy it from Amazon but I did get it for the same price. Very good price for a very good TV. Very impressive HD picture, and I have it hooked up to my computer and it makes a great monitor. If I wish something was different I would like change the source of the PIP window when using my computer, as it stands right now this can not be done I can only watch an over the air antenna while using my computer.

Over all great product for a great price, just shop around.

Beautiful Picture - Great Value - Highly Recommended!
I love this television. The picture is gorgeous and requires no adjustments. I'm using it with my DirecTV HD connection. 720P is just fine for this screen size - you really don't need 1080P and couldn't probably tell the difference on a 32" screen.

Great birthday present!
My Mom asked me to recommend a flat-screen so she can be ready for the change to digital next year. We chose the 32-inch Bravia based on our satisfaction with our 40-inch, purchased through Amazon.com last January. The picture on the Bravia is fantastic and Amazon's price, service and follow-up are unparalleled!

Not Good
My TV was a dud. It would format the HD picture with a strange border at the bottom of the screen. I had to return. Amazon was very helpful with my return.

SonyLCDTV
Bought this TV for the bedroom- picture quality is very good
Have 46" Sony LCD in my family room that is a year old & love it so purchased another Sony. I think the price was excellent on Amazon & it arrived within a few days- ahead of the original delivery date.

Nice little TV
After reading the other reviews here, and checking this model (and others) out at brick & mortar stores, we decided to buy it despite the negative comments on the sound/volume. As others here have noted the picture is quite nice, but more important we did not have any problems with the volume. We have not yet turned it up over maybe 1/3 of the total, and it is plenty loud enough for our living room. Granted, we are not vacuuming while watching TV, but we do have a couple of rambunctious kids, and they TV is plenty loud enough with them running around.

Very good HDTV
This Sharp LCD HDTV Is great. Has a super clear picture... works flawlessly in 480P mode with my Nintendo Wii and Dvd. The built in digital tuner was able to pick up about 15 Digital HDTV Channels using a standard indoor rabbit ears antenna. I am also very impressed with the black level and contrast. Will also connect to a pc in in full 1360x768 resolution. This tv also has an optical out for connecting a dolby digital 5.1 tuner. It amazing to get True DD 5.1 surround sound from shows such as CSI Miami. The built in speakers are only 2 watt. So I recomend use of external speakers with this set. the resolution of 720P is perfect for this size HDTV. 480p sources such as dvds and wii across the component cables scale very well and look great. I would highly recomend this set to anyone looking for a high quality Small size HDTV set.

No HDMI PC/Mac support?
When I paid for this 19" SHARP, I asked if it supported HDMI input from a PC/Mac to serve as a high-resolution monitor. Despite being extremely specific with my question, I was apparently lied to and purchased an LC display that DOES NOT support HDMI input from a computer.

While the LC-19SB25U supports A/V input from an HDMI cable, it refuses to calibrate or connect with my computer. As a PC/Mac monitor it only supports VGA input which is NOT high-definition. A standard VGA-out tube television can do the same thing for .

To compare, I also own a 27" Ölevia HDTV. It cost less than 0, supports HDMI input from virtually all sources (including my computer), can be updated with firmware and has superior sound and image quality. While the Ölevia may not be true 16:9, it supports 1080p and is offers about twice the screen size for the same or less money.

I absolute do not recommend the SHARP LC-19SB25U as a monitor or television. Its too quiet to work in a kitchen or office, and does not work as an HD monitor.

Returned the set. Couldn't hear it.


I was hyped about this new model. I paid top dollar from my local electronics store since I needed a new tv for my kitchen (9). I wanted the new tuner that would pick up all the signals after the changover next febuary. Well I hooked it up and thought it was everything I hoped, super clear screen. The problem is even with the audio on full it seems like it's on low. I returned it for a Toshiba whick had just as nice of picture and nice volume. What good is a tv if you can't hear it? Unless your not using the tv's speakers I would avoid this set.

Where's the Volume?


I just bought this set and love the picture but there is no volume to talk about. I had to buy a powered external speaker for it, at full volume it can barely be heard. Sharp might have the screen down but they need alot of help with the audio. Only buy this set if you plan on using external speakers.

Shame on Sony
I decided to return this Sony Bravia TV- immediately after reading the install instructions and before plugging it in. The reason? Sony's ridiculous solution and instructions for making sure the TV doesn't fall over if one chooses not to hang it on the wall and, instead, chooses their second choice of trying to prop it up on a flat surface with the stupidly tiny prop they provide with the 19" Bravia. Their "safety" instructions for using their silly little prop say to drill holes in my fine furniture on which it will sit and to screw the tiny prop down to the furniture. They also suggest you attach a cord to the top back of the TV and tie the cord to a hook screwed into the wall behind it. How dumb is that??? You tell me. I originally decided to buy a lightweight, 19" LCD HDTV so that I could pick it up and move it around the house if and when I chose to. That silly, tiny prop is the dumbest idea I've seen in a long, long time. I've long admired and purchased Sony products for their quality and integrity. But the above described flaw is indeed a seriously poor design judgement. Shame on Sony for not providing a sturdy pedestal like the 19" Samsung I bought instead.

Excellent, simple to set up tv
This tv is beautiful and easy to set up.The worst of it is that it's best viewed when fully vertical, and the prop in the back isn't long enough for that, so I needed a piece of wood under it to raise it. It doesn't have its verticality worked out - unless you mount it on a wall. It has outlets and inlets for seemingly any device, and suggests hookups. It's been a daily part of my life for a month, and it's beautiful, and easy to control and hook up. I would highly recommend it.
