The sound could be improved - possibly due to the built in speakers - when linked to external unit it is very good.

SOUND VERY TINNY AND AT FULL VOLUME IS INADEQUATE. BACKLIGHT "BLEED" AT BOTTOM OF SCREEN, ALTHOUGH ONLY NOTICEABLE ON DARKER SCENES.
BEST TO OUTPUT YOUR DVD PLAYER'S SOUND TO AN EXTERNAL AMP. OVERALL, THOUGH, VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.

Tuning is very simple, we initially had problems with the aerial and the signal thought we may need a booster but this was simply down to the aerial cable and the tv was easy to retune, we started with only about 11 channels received but after repositioning the aerial cable ended up with 100+. Like the menus and the screen is also used as a pc monitor when not being used as a tv.
-
Sound quality was not as good as I thought it could be however we are using this tv as a second in our spareroom and mostly use headphones with this so it is perfect for us.

Nice looking, fairly easy to set up, picture is very good but I have seen better on bigger screens and wanted to see this here but saying that most LCD's and Plasma's I have seen seem to settle down and improve after a few months use so I expect this one will be like that too and it already has a very good picture. I did wonder if the weakness in perfect picture quality was to do with the fact you are asking it to be a monitor and a TV, ie can a screen be perfect for both or will one suffer at the expense of the other to get one that is near perfect.

No on/off button, has to be switched on and off via remote which could be considered a good point in some ways, depends how you feel about that.

I use this as a TV for the bedroom. The setup was incredibly simple, just switch it on and follow the instructions, 2 mins later it's ready to go. Picture is superb on digital freeview channels. Very easy to use. Digital TV makes full use of the 20" widescreen without and noticible stretching or cropping, though you can set it to have black bars at the top and bottom if you choose.
-
Sound was a little tinny when I first set it up when compared to the old 14" CRT, but after a while you don't notice it and it sounds fine.
The black plastic finish is a magnet to dust.

Brilliant picture quality. I have had Sky+ HD fitted and the TV/Monitor has made it all worthwhile. Simple to set up. Just connect and away you go. Easy menu to alter any settings. Well thought of remote, nothing to confuse you with. It does exactly as advertised. I found it cheaper to buy this HD TV/Monitor than a seperate HD TV. All the connection leads come with it, so you dont have to spend anymore money to get it using as soon as you take it out of the box.

The samsung I bought from Dixons had the sofware/firmware that worked! the sound, picture and TV functions are brilliant for the price. I believe this is as very good TV. I use mine in the bedroom and it is perfect, it does not have wall mounting brackets but i knew that, for those who would require such a function be aware. The style is also another plus point and the remote is easy to use. I've read reviews moaning about the sound quality, if this was a tv for your lounge maybe they're right but for the bedroom/ second TV the sound and pictuere is perfect.

The fist Samsung I bought was from a well known shop related to the indian food dish. They had the TV with the old software/firmware. the TV randomly turned it's self off and on and was of poor quality. I took it back and bought a new one from Dixons. Dixons TV was/is perfect.

Contrast Ratio (X:1)

|
10000
|
|
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.

Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.

DVI Port

|
Yes

DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface. Like VGA, DVI is used to connect laptops, desktops and other devices to HD TVs or monitors. You can buy a small adaptor to convert your digital DVI socket to an analogue VGA socket for use with older monitors if needed.
|
VGA Port

|
No
|
|
VGA stands for Video Graphics Array. The VGA socket is used for connecting a monitor or TV to your computer. If you want to use an external monitor, TV or projector on your laptop make sure it has a VGA or DVI socket. VGA is also sometimes referred to as D-sub.

If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.

Manufacturer's Description
20” T Model LCD MFM
Artistry isn’t something that can be measured. At SAMSUNG, we believe that artistry is the result of a delicate balance between high-end design and cutting-edge technology. We’re inspired by the world around us and want to create products that are both functional and exude beauty. Introducing the T200HD from SAMSUNG. Beautiful, inside and out.
Full HD 1080p
1080p Full HD technology means you are watching the highest resolution images available today. Nearly twice the resolution of regular HDTV, you will experience an astoundingly vivid and realistic picture and incredible image. More pixels mean higher definition and that means more detail than ever before with 1920 × 1080 Full HD technology, giving you the most lifelike images and astounding clarity no matter how fast the action.
Embedded DTV tuner
With the built-in Digital Television (DTV) tuner, the T series immediately widens your entertainment world. Unlike many monitors, the T series can decode and display free, over-the-air digital TV broadcasts without buying any additional equipment.
low power consumption
Power consumption is always a concern when it comes to home electronics. The T series monitor from SAMSUNG consumes only 65-70W in operation mode. Compared to other monitors, that’s a reduction of almost 30W. And with the unique SoftPower Off function, the monitor consumes a mere 0.3W when on standby. So with the T series, you can work productively at home without worrying about driving up your energy bill.
