 Perfect TV for bedroom Apr 15, 2007
By Peter Noyes
My wife and I have been waiting a long time for this TV. It is the first 19 inch LCD TV that we have seen with an integrated ATSC tuner which is what we needed. You can't beat the price because last years 19" LCD was slightly more expensive and did not include the tuner. Futhermore this TV has excellent picture. Although the contrast ratio is not as high as the 23", surprisingly it has a higher resolution, 1440x900 as opposed to 1366x768. Having both a PC input as well as HDMI is also a major plus. I also own an older samsung HDTV and there have been several nice improvements sine then. For instance as you change channels it displays the signal type (e.g. 1080i) which wasn't the case with my older TV. It also has all sorts of timers you can set which is perfect for the bedroom. We are using this TV as our alarm clock. Great TV!

 Finally HD Tuner in the small Samsung Apr 14, 2007
By Curtis R. Olinger
I love this tv, I usually buy Samsung, I have a 32" 3251D thats great other than crappy built in speakers. This Tv looks sweet and has great Std Def Picture, which seperates it from the cheaper brands. Most HDTV look great with HD signal but a good tv can handle dirty signals as well.
This tv is the brand new model that has both tuners built in, I can watch HBO without a cable box cluttering up my bedroom. I thought it was going to be to small even for my small Bedroom but it worked out great. best 400 buvks I ever spend on amazon, they had the best price on this model.
Havent had the bleed in problem mentioned, but all lcds have light leakage when no signal is present on an all black screen, its the backlight, this one has a pretty uniform backlight, maybe even better than the previous gen 3251D that I own. I also like the light at the bottom, it glows a nice shade of blue.
This tv woudl be perfect at 300-350 dollars but you get what you pay for, much better than the vizio 20" at costco for about the same price....

Good picture, but the sound is suboptimal Aug 12, 2007
By Rad63
I was very pleased with the ease of set-up and the really sharp HD picture. I was less pleased with the harsh sound similar to my old am radio of my youth. There is not much room on this set for good speakers. I resolved my problem by plugging in a set of self amplified computer speakers that I had used with a now discarded computer.I plugged them into the earphone outlet and the sound is now very good.

 Quality control issues? Apr 12, 2007
By brewster lewster

I saw this set at the store and it was a magnificent picture. Has an integrated HDTV tuner and all the connections you will need. Looks sweet, too. However, I got one off Amazon which was a dud. Poor picture quality and white light bleed from the top and bottom of the screen (a problem another customer complained about). Samsung telephone service help was great and agreed it was defective. Amazon was terrific and paid for the return and refund. Be careful with this set and wait a little for other feedback.
Oh, one annoying feature. While the HDTV tuner works well, you cannot dial in a specific digital channel (like 10.1) unless the search program has previously found it. And there is no way to "save" the found digital channels so that you can reposition the antennae, search for signals again, and then have a compiled list channels locked into the memory. In other words, if your search found 10.1 in one antenna position but not 6.1, there is no way the TV will let you dial in 6.1 even if you reposition the antenna optimally. You must then reprogram the search to find 6.1, but then after that is completed you wont be able to dial in 10.1 after turning antenna back because the TV did not permanently store that channel prior to the new search. My 34" Sony 960XBR can do this no problem!

 Good, but not great Oct 21, 2007
By Greg A. Black
Samsung's 19" LN-T1953H HDTV has a lot of very nice features and is a good product, but a few things keep it from being great.
The claimed viewing angle is 160°, but, in reality, the small screen has to be viewed almost dead on. While overall color and saturation are good, blacks are weak.
Two annoyances with the LCD panel used in this unit are what keep it from being great: 1) The native aspect ratio of the 1440 x 900 panel is closer to 15:9 than 16:9, so HD broadcasts get cut off on the sides in "wide mode." In "16:9 mode" HD broadcasts don't quite fill the screen top and bottom revealing the second flaw; 2) backlight "leaks" (as some others have mentioned) cast a bit of a halo effect around the edge of the panel and become noticeable when the screen should be dark, or when viewing HD broadcasts in 16:9. (A 19" Philips unit using the same 1440 x 900 display panel garners the same complaint from some reviewers.)
Otherwise, this is a feature-rich set that looks great and performs very well. The set's audio characteristics may be adjusted via a 5-band graphic equalizer so that it doesn't sound tinny or hollow. The simulated surround sound adds a nice spatial effect without sounding unnatural. The sound and picture pre-sets work well, and may also be customized. The ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners work well and the built-in digital noise reduction makes analog broadcasts look better. While it can take several minutes for channels to be scanned into memory, Samsung includes a very nice feature that automatically erases scrambled (cable) channels during the scan. Samsung also allows the viewer to "see" all of the channels stored in memory, though navigating through them can be a bit tedious. The unit's base comes pre-attached and allows for some tilting of the panel which may be beneficial when the unit is mounted below eye level. PIP works only with multiple inputs connected, i.e. when also used as a computer monitor.
Overall, a good 19" HDTV suitable for dual-purpose use as a computer monitor in a bedroom, den or kitchen.
