Samsung LN19B361 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Nice set for small area, sound a bit lacking
This is a nice set for a small area, such as a kitchen or bath, or small bedroom. Picture appears excellent, depending on the source channel. It auto-tuned all of the analog & digital channels from Comcast, and filtered out the scrambled (premium) channels. The set displays guide information (channel name, program) for many of the digital channels, but not the analog channels. The included stand can be rotated to 90 degrees and used as a wall mount, or a standard VESA mount (separately purchased) may be used. Changes channels quite fast.
The biggest annoyance is the relatively tinny sound, followed by the 9-10 second power-on time. There’s a fair bit of tweaking room on the sound menu, but the low end isn’t quite as full as one would like for a set listened to from a distance. The sound weakness was the main factor in dropping my rating to 4 stars.
There aren’t many options for a small *white* television set. I might have considered Sharp but their 19-inch white set has been discontinued. All in all, it’s a decent set with a few shortcomings.
