Sound quality Looking for a new 19" LCD HDTV. Does the Samsung LN 19B360 really have poor sound quality? My other TVs are fromn Samsung and they have great picture quality.

Received my new 19" Samsung yesterday (great deal from Amazon for $171). Picture is great, sound was marginal. However, I hooked up a set of CREATIVE external speakers to the RCA audio jacks and now have great sound too!

Good picture for a 19" wide screen. Very poor sound. About equal to an average laptop computer.

The sharp television is very sharp, but there are distortions sometimes in commercials and other programming. Not all, just some. The images look cartoonish. If you do not want your pictures to look like Soap Operas you should go with a 60hz. The sound leaves a lot to be desired as well on the Sharp. Not sure about sound on Samsung's. With Sharp you must consider adding a sound bar or other speakers.

I have the fifty five inch. We got it for a great price at walmart. We were hesistant at first. But its a great tv. I recommend hisense. A lot of people have never heard of the brand which makes it seem like you shouldn't buy it. We have had it for about five months. We use it often and the color is great. Picture volume appearance is great.

I own a Samsung HTL56 DLP model and I'm having problems with noises coming from the TV. It sounds like cracking and poping and it happens when it's on but it's really bad when it's turned off. It sounds like its going to explode. Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone tell me what may cause this? It's only 2 years old. Thanks

I've had the TV for about 6 months. It is a bedroom TV so doesn't get a lot of use. So far I have encountered no issues but I do not like the sound quality.

Yes. I got a Sony and took it back. This TV is amazing. Not only that, the sound is even better. Pandora sounds amazing. There's the highs I've been missing all this time. Can't go wrong with this one.

No problem with this TV. I also have the 40" and it is great from just about anywhere in the room.Samsung makes great stuff.

Thanks. I will check out that issue. I have had the Samsung LN-T5265F for LESS THEN 4 MONTHS and have had 3 problems already. No picture, only sound. Lasts for a day then it seems fine again. Got a frimware update last time. Now, its wait a week for service man to show again and hope it works again tomorrow. Now I know why I have stayed away from anything Samsung for the last 30 years....

Hello. I am almost close to selecting KDL52V4100. All you owners of the TV, would u know if the screen has matte finish? I wanted to see this TV in BB but could not find it. so I havent seen it. I have seen SHARP and LG HDTVs and they have excellent matte finish. Can you please tell me how is screen finish for this SONY TV ?

How would you compare the Sony KDL-XBR6 with the Samsung LN32A650? I'm not too crazy about Samsung's so-called Touch of Color Design (TM) for its bezel (amber/black), however. But I'd like to know which model should I buy for my daughter's birthday. She lives in an apartment in Chicago.Thanks.Len Bloom

Well, I actually purchased this tv for my parents. My dad said the sound is much better than the Samsung tv they had before. I can say that i will probably purchase the 32" tv, same series for myself. I am totally impressed with what i have seen and heard. People say Samsung, i disagree, SONY BRAVIA will and should be number one.

I bought a LN52B750 after a great deal of research. Unfortunately, I cannot take anymore of the fake looking/soap opera/camcorder type picture with this tv, especially after adjusting to minimize blurring. Due to headache and visual strain, I even stopped watching this tv and I am sending it back for a plasma. Hope that helps.

I bought the Sharp for my son. The sound was weaker, but according to him, that is the price we pay for the thinner TVs. I also bought a Samsung Smart TV for my house. Both have the same problem. He solved the problem on his with a sound bar. I just turn mine up high. I will probably add speakers to mine eventually.

I replaced mine. It's not a good tv. especially the sound. My picture quit working after 4 months. It was replaced quickly. service was ok, but not a good tv.

I agree, don't let brighter mean better. If you read some of the "expert" reviews they tend to state that standard settings are more true to life. C-Net and other sights rate the Samsung picture as good as any. The sound on both TV's is adequate for everyday viewing. If you are looking for a "cinema experience" no TV sound system on its own will be great. I compared both and went with the Samsung but that is my personal taste.

Go to CNET and look this tv up. People have posted calibration settings on there. My recommendation at this point would be to return this tv immediately! I have had the pn64e8000 for nearly two years now and it just died yesterday. I have found out recently that these tv's were shipped by Samsung with bad panels. I am not the only one this has happened to and some folks are trying to organize a class action lawsuit over this issue. I have had two Samsung tv's and they both let me down. Their customer service sucks and they will give you the runaround. I just ordered a Sharp aquos Lc70sq15u which is about the same price i paid for the pn64e8000 and is twice the tv.
