Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's HDTV-ready 27-inch TXM2796HF brings high-quality images and sound to any room in the house. It features up to 800 lines of horizontal resolution, a three-line digital comb filter that keeps edges sharp and minimizes dot drawl, and display output for 1080i or 480p modes. The flat screen produces distortion- and glare-free images that are visible from a wider viewing angle than traditional curved-screen TVs.

The TXM2796HF offers Samsung's Digital Pro Picture three-stage video processing system that produces a high-performance picture from both analog and digital sources. The Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing) improves analog to digital signal processing, the Pro Chip Plus converts all analog signals to the better flicker-free progressive scan, and the three-line digital comb filter analyzes multiple lines of picture information to minimize edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. This set also features an Invar shadow mask (an alloy material used to attain better focus and brightness consistency) and velocity scan modulation, which sharply defines edges and outlines by controlling the speed of transitions between the black and white portions of the signal.

It has a built-in 181-chanel NTSC tuner that receives MTS and SAP stereo broadcasts. Its built-in speakers have 10 watts of power apiece and it features a headphone jack on the side of the set. The Turbo sound function emphasizes the bass and treble frequencies to add fullness to the sound. Two component-video inputs allow you to connect an optional HDTV receiver or a source with component-video outputs. It also has 4 composite A/V inputs (3 rear, 1 side), 1 A/V output, 1 S-video input (side), and 2 RF inputs (rear).

Tech Talk
Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.

Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display.

Avoid it like the plague..........2006-12-26

Set was dead within less than three years.

Before it died it developed an incredibly high pitched squeal from the speakers. The frequency of the noise changed throughout the life of the set. At first it was so bad my dogs couldn't be in the room with the set on. Eventually the noise got to the point that our human ears adjusted to hearing it.

The day the set died I was watching a movie on HBO. The set normally makes a chime whenever you turn it on/off. The sound suddenly cut out and the set immediately made the chime it makes when you turn the set off only it was very slow. The screen went black and the set was dead. I am puzzled though that the inside parts are still receiving electricity. Should you plug the set into an outlet something inside is continually ticking.

Regardless this incredibly expensive Samsung POS died within two years of being manufactured and purchased. However my 19" CRT from God knows where manufactured in 1987 continues to run flawlessly to this day. Samsung can go die in a fire I won't waste my money on them again. I suggest you do the same.

Overscan Problem.......2006-04-11

I purchased mine from Sears, not Amazon. It has an overscan problem. Calls to Samsung technical service finds that they provide no help in adjustments except to their repair persons.
Suppoedly because one might mess up the settings (more I guess).
One authhorized repair person had not experienced this before and does not have a store. I assume he would drive for attempted adjustment, but considering the distance (approximately 20 miles), I wonder about cost. Warranty has expired. Maybe should buy another brand?? Son has had two bad experiences with Samsung DVD players.

This is a great set........2003-10-16

I am a broadcast engineer for a FOX affiliate in Georgia, so I have seen quite a few monitors in my day. This set, is not for the large room,..but for quality of picture in normal broadcast, and definitely for High-Definition, it has few peers for quality. Also, I have one in our lobby, as a show piece, with our affiliates sound and picture, 24 hours a day, seven days a week since January 13, 2002, without so much as a hiccup, and zero upkeep. I have broadcast monitors in master control, that I wish were that good. (I also bought another one for my home in May 2003.) Its that good.

Samsung TXM2796HF - Poor Sound Quality.......2003-06-14

I bought the Samsung TXM2796HF about 4 months ago and recently I am getting a loud humming sound from the speakers. The humming sound is very annoying. The picture quality is good but the sound is terrible.

Quality and Value.......2003-05-06

I've had this set for a few months now and honestly have no complaints. I'm an avid gamer who owns a Gamecube, a PS2, and an X-Box. And while the PS2 looks decent on the set,its the Gamecube and most definately the X-Box that makes this set shine. At this time far too few Tv stations broadcast in HD, so its external devices like DVD Players and videogame consoles that validate an HDTV purchase for most people. At this set delivers it has 3 AV inputs, 1 S-Video input, and 2 Component inputs. Its really those last 2 that matter as their necessary for a high definition display. The picture quality is excellent, as far as people complining about the contrast or color thats what the custom settings are for obviously. Also the image tilting that others complain about is due to the earths magnetic field and can be rectified through use of the "tilt" option found at the bottom of the picture menu under "p-Function".
Im not a videophile Im just a gamer who knows what looks good. And for this price you cannot go wrong.
