Samsung LN26B360 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Review (October 12, 2009)

An ideal HDTV for smaller rooms, Samsung’s LN26B360 offers crisp, bold HD images. The 30,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 8ms response time and Wide Color Enhancer 2 technology help deliver an even more realistic picture quality. Its elegant “piano black” cabinet looks equally as amazing. With a variety of connections, including two HDMI inputs, and one PC input, easily connect digital devices such as a DVD player or PC.  

30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio

Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Watch movies and shows come to life with enhanced details in very dark or bright scenes. Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that's sure to catch your eye. Delivers amazing details in dark or bright scenes.

Built-In Digital Tuner

All Samsung LCD HDTVs have an integrated digital tuner. So, whether you're watching over-the-air HD digital broadcasts or connecting to cable/satellite service, Samsung has got you covered.

SRS TruSurround XT HD

Samsung TVs are equipped with impressive audio technology--built-in speakers deliver an enhanced, virtual surround-sound listening experience that brings your HDTV experience to another level.

8ms Response

One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 8ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

Wide Color Enhancer 2

Whereas blue and green shaded areas of the picture are washed out on conventional screens, wide color enhancer lets you experience more brilliant colors. Simply imagine a wider range of color than you ever thought possible.

ENERGY STAR Compliant

By being ENERGY STAR compliant you are assured that your SAMSUNG model is helping the environment by using less energy while saving you money. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy promoting energy efficiency.

Game Mode

Get in the game with enhanced blacks, sharp picture quality and optimum audio. At the touch of a button, game mode speeds up the image processing response so you get the most out of your gaming experience.

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.

Samsung Touch Of Color T220HD 22-inch LCD HDTV Monitor Review

Review

There seems to be some confusion whether or not the T220HD can be wall mounted. Granted it does not have the VESA holes but SamsungParts has a wall mount adapter WMB1900T 19-22 VESA 100X100 bracket. Why Amazon doesn't show this item as an accessory for the T220/T220HD I don't know. As far as the T220HD goes it has all the bells and whistles you need the only thing i think is missing is a USB hub. This link should get you to the bracket. Wall Mount Bracket 19-22"

Technical Details

Touch of Color bezel - While the crystal-like bezel frame catches light beautifully, it actually reduces reflection of light off the bezel.

Dolby Digital Surround: An invisible speaker system with Dolby Digital Surround (3 W x 2 ch) gives sound quality to match the impressive picture.

10,000 - 1 Dynamic-Contrast Ratio - The ultra-wide range gives you blacks and whites that are full of detail, even under adverse lighting conditions

The T220HD features a built-in full HD 1080p digital HDTV tuner, so you can watch both TV and HDTVDual HDMI inputs

Comment

This is our second Samsung HDTV monitor and it lives up to the 32" we have. We have it connect to a HD cable box, a HDMI DVD player and an aerial. The picture is as good as you can imagine, excellent color and contrast.

There are a few issues that you might be interested in:

The sound is dreadful, not bad but dreadful. I guess Samsung assumes you are going to use a separate sound system. I put together a sound set up with some old multimedia speakers I have (Klipsch) and an optical to analog audio converter Digital Audio To Analog Audio Converter and use the cable box AC socket to power up the audio system but most people don't want to figure out something like this. Samsung really should make a one piece model with decent forward facing speakers.

Our HDMI cables arrived a few days after the set so we used the component input first. On this set it's clearly softer then the HDMI inputs so if you have HDMI compatible devices, use it.


Our cable system uses HD boxes that don't talk well with the Samsung. Sometimes we get an error message that implores us to use component instead of HDMI but it goes away quickly and the box works anyway. This was a problem with our first Samsung two years ago and it hasn't been dealt with yet. Also the cable box sometimes puts out a signal that causes a slight contrast change at the top and bottom of the picture. It changes with the channel. It never happens with the DVD player or the aerial.

We live in an apartment so the aerial reception is spotty. Our 32" set which is far from the windows gets better reception then this set which is next to a window. Is this due to the tuner in this set? We can't tell yet.
