 Samsung LN26B360 LCD TV March 15, 2010
Frank Perez (FL)
The Tv has good reviews.
However my particular box was previously opened.
The sealed packets were opened and tampered with.
There is no way for me to tell it this was a returned item or not.
The TV works good but it could have been refurbished.
Does anyone knows how to tell if it was refurbished?

Gerry G (Boiling Springs, PA)
Am very pleased with this TV. Picture is sharp and the detail in excellent for this price range. Was a little worried about the volume after reading some of the other feedback, but it gets plenty loud for us. Actually, not sure who would want it louder than what it is.
All in all a good value that is performing well.

Very good TV, very good picture. The only little draw back is that the speakers vibrate, not a good quality of sound.
Overall reasonable choice for good price with little to no issues March 4, 2010

Being a college kid and constantly striving to make sure that every dollar spent, is definately worth it, I did weeks of research before coming to the conclusion of purchasing this television. It may be one of the cheaper models that Samsung makes, but personally I believe it so far has proven to be a worth-while purchase. I have owned the TV for about a month now and don't regret it one single bit. Currently, I do not use it as a TV to watch TV, so I can offer no insight to what its compatibility is with standard, mid-western cable service. However, I can review it on its use as a computer monitor and video game television.
As a computer monitor: This television provides crystal clear graphics on computers that can transmit the proper screen format. The computer that I have hooked up to it is a 2006 Dell XPS 400 that originally came with a 19" Flat-screen LCD display in 1280x1024 resolution, so I was not positive on whether or not this hookup would work with the 1360x768 resolution of the TV. Following the owners manual that comes with the television was very helpful in setting this whole process up; however, the use of certain display programs such as ATI Catalyst Control Center may be required in order to change the output to the TV in the correct format. After finally setting everything up, it looks and works like a dream as a monitor. I have watched programming from Hulu, YouTube HD, and other video websites and this TV allows for the full potential of hi-res videos across the internet to substitute for my lack of HD cable service. In fact, as I write this review, I, a very near-sighted man, am typing 6 feet away from the screen and could probably still sit a foot or two back more and strain very little to see what I'm typing. It may be overkill as a computer monitor, but nothing feels better than typing from a futon instead of a computer desk.
As a Gaming TV: Currently pleased with the results, but have not yet hooked up HDMI from my Xbox 360 to reach its full potential. I am using just the component connection that comes with the TV and games such as COD 4: Modern Warfare and Forza Motorsport 3 look stunning. The Xbox 360 originally wants to transmit in 720p, but you can change this manually to 1080i depending on what your preference is between the two. The TV, only 60hz processing speed, does a great job of keeping up with all of the gaming action and explosions with no noticeable blurring of images, so it works perfectly for those faster paced games.
The feature I like the most about the TV is its numerous amount of hookups available in the back. As seen in pictures above, the TV allows for many different electronics to be hooked into. As of right now, I only have a Xbox 360, Xbox, and computer hooked up to it, with the audio out going to the high power stereo I own and still have many other hookups available. Panasonic may have a less expensive TV on Amazon for 26", but it does not have half of the hookups as this Samsung and does not allow for RCA audio-out. So if you are just an entry level LCD TV buyer who does not plan on hooking a ton of electronics up for multi-purpose, the panasonic would be fine, but for those like me, this TV offers many more options to play around with. The picture adjustment is very easy to operate and can help anyone achieve the picture quality they desire whether they want the deep blacks or a little more lighted picture. Customization is almost necessary since Samsung only has provided three picture presets which do not do the TV justice.
Addressing the proposed "squeal" that some people have experienced: Yes, I have noticed that the TV does make what I call a "humming", but it is hardly noticable. The only time that it can be heard is when the room is completely silent and still one has to listen very tentatively to hear it. In comparison to standard televisions which have a much higher "humming" noise, this is nothing. Maybe some of the individuals writing reviews received bad units and this sound is more noticeable, but that is the risk one takes in buying anything, some products can be defective, its the nature of mass manufacturing.
I gave this product a Five star rating because it is very affordable and a great value for those on a tight budget, its versatility to interface with other electronics, and its ease of setup for picture quality and helpful owners manual.
Amazing!!! March 3, 2010

I've had this tv for 2 months now, and I have to say it is great. It's hooked up to the ps3 via an HDMI cable, to picture is amazing, also watching bluray movies on it is unbelievable. I don't regret buying it.
