Samsung LN26A450 User Review:
I gave Samsung LN26A450 4 stars because of the poor sound. I had a pair of AC/DC powered speakers from my old CD walkman and plugged them in the headphone jack, made a few adjustments hooked the TV up via HDMI to cable box, and I am good to go. You can also use powered PC speakers (with a subwoofer to boot) that you can buy real cheap providing it recieves headphone or some other congruent output/input method. The Picture is very good and compares to my 40 inch 1080P Samsung LNT4071F. I read 1 review where it has a reception in between 720P and 1080P. This may be so but when you hook up a Bluray will the TV recieve that inbetween resoloution or would you have to drop down and set the Bluray to 720. I bought this TV knowing the sound was going to be poor. But samsung in my view has the highest contrast ratio and is the best out there when it comes to televisions. I am yet to find weather or not the 60 Htz drop down From my other Samsung, which is 120 Htz will be noticable. I’m hoping not concidering it’s smaller screen size. With my 120 htz I see no motion blurr or fast motion trails at all but that is a bigger unit with more bang. I think The LN22A650 May be 120 htz But doesn’t have DNLe which is a contrast booster. To apprietiate what you bought,anyone with this tv should use the DNLe option and dynamic range.I am very happy with the picture Quality but the sound truly stinks.
