Samsung LN19B360C5D Review: 19” LCD HDTV

Up for Review: Samsung LN19B360C5D LCD TV. If you are in search of a small and lightweight TV which will form a part of your kitchen or office room, then this HDTV is just the perfect one for you. Not only does it have all the basic features of an HDTV but it also has a relatively less price tag attached to it. The decrease in price is mainly because of the size and the resolution. With 720p resolution, the pictures can be seen with great clarity. But it does lack the extra sharpness of the 1080p resolution. Since most of the fare on the television is in 720p, it is actually a clever idea to have a TV with this resolution. But when you feel like watching movies on the Blu-ray disc player, you may be a little dissatisfied.

Since this TV will only be a second TV in the house, occasion to watch movies from a Blu-ray disc player will almost be nil. There will be an inclination to watch the talk shows and the serials which are aired and this can be watched free of cost through the built-in HDTV tuner. If you want to watch other channels which are not free-to-air, then you have to opt for a set top box and pay a monthly subscription for that. But the images that you get on the TV are really enjoyable with 3000:1 contrast ratio. Most of the competitive models vie for this kind of contrast on the larger models. But Samsung has been able to provide really high values in all its models.

The magnificent sound is the hallmark of every Samsung model. Even in this small TV, Samsung is able to provide a very good audio with two 3W speakers. With surround sound being an in-built feature, you can hear the music and the dialogues clearly even if you are a bit far from the TV. You can safely mount the TV on the wall and still get a good audio effect. The small TV with ultra-slim design will also look great on the walls. Resembling a small moving picture, it will also enhance the ambiance of the room.

Samsung takes care of connectivity options in the Samsung LN19B360C5D even in this small LCD. There is an HDMI for connecting high definition devices. In fact, inputs are galore with 2 component video inputs and 1 composite video input. There is also a PC input to help use the HDTV as a computer monitor. Controls are also given to ensure that children do not have access to all the channels. The V-chip parental control has been provided for this purpose. And like most of the HDTVs today, this set is also Energy Star qualified. With so many features to keep you engaged, this set certainly deserves a second look. Purchasing it will surely give you good results.
