My dad has about $900 and wants to get a new tv. There is a 6th ave, pc richards, best buy, and circuit city close to us btw if that helps.
Samsung has a 27”, 4:3 model in your price range and a 30, 16:9 model that is pretty close.Lew Crippen, which model are you talking about? What do you think of this model?
Lew, you also mentioned the Samsung TXM3098, do you know anything about it?Yes, it is a very nice smaller, widescreen display coupled with a pretty good price. I would not quite put the picture in the Sony XBR/Toshiba/Panasonic class, but then it does not cost as much as those displays.
Negatives are only one S-video input, and that is on the side of the set. I don’t think that internal NTSC tuner is as good as some of the higher priced products, but that may not mean anything if you are using a satellite receiver, cable box or an external HD tuner.
The line doubler is not so good as Sony’s, but if you have a progressive scan DVD player, that won’t mean much.
In short I think that this is a fine, budget-oriented set that works well in a smaller viewing area.
You may want to consider the fact that I bought one in considering my comments (I use mine in our bedroom).
