Product Description Watch as stunning, realistic images brighten this 22" LCD widescreen TV. It's the ideal combination of a sleek, modern design with the latest in high-definition technology. Truly amazing details, complemented by a 3,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio plus vivid colors and bold blacks. The stylish Samsung LN22A450 is the total package with concealed speakers that radiate crisp, clear sound.
Picture is okay, Sound is terrible!December 3, 2008 A little harder to setup than our LG 26" but a good picture nonetheless.
Where this set loses points is in sound quality. For some reason Samsung can't get sound right in their sets. The speakers sound about as powerful as an alarm clock. They are absolutely awful!
We decided to get the LG26LG30 instead, and we're not disappointed. Sound is powerful and picture is vibrant, with great detail. With the Samsung I found I was straining just to hear it!
Samsung LN22A450December 1, 2008 I have had this TV for two weeks. The picture using the AV connections is good. The TV also looks good. The only complaint is the sound. The speakers sound like those on a small portable radio. Fortunately for me I have been able to use a spare Yamaha speaker connected to my receiver for sound. Despite the speaker problem, I got a good deal by buying a refurbished set saving $100+.
Sweet!November 29, 2008 As a semi-pro digital photographer I'm really critical about color accuracy. If you spend the time tweaking the various color settings you can get excellent results from a high-quality source. The up-scaling from standard video is a bonus, much better than any tube (CRT) TV, very smooth and detailed with no obvious artifacts. Check out "The Fellowship of the Ring" from the LotR trilogy--it looks almost like 3-D!!! I don't have HD but I expect the HD quality would be even higher.
As many have noted, the sound is adequate at best, but the built-in equalizer helps a lot. The Logitech S220 2.1 system would probably be a good sound upgrade for this TV.
The auto-matching of aspect ratio from various sources has worked perfectly. Again, a huge improvement over a standard 4:3 tube TV. My previous set was an outstanding 20" Toshiba flat-screen tube model (i.e., not LCD), but this Samsung LCD beats it in every respect. I'd never go back to a tube TV, and I think this Samsung is a great buy for the money.
Outstanding Picture Quality; Love It !!November 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really wanted a SONY but their choices for a smaller unit (like 22inches) was small to none. I have been using this TV for about 4 months now. After researching for months I finally decided to try the Samsung and I am not disappointed. It has incredible picture quality and truly for a 22inch you do not need a 1080 (leave that for 32 inch and up). For the reviews you see about bad picture quality, that may be true for AIR stations but not for the digital ones. Since we are switching to digital, who cares about the AIR stations? FYI - I don't have cable so I am reviewing this based on stright digital signals. Although you can get the digital signals without a digital antenna, I would recommend purchasing an antenna if you do not have cable. The signals will be stronger and you will pick up more channels. There are plenty of bells and whistles. My only regret is not waiting a few more months as the prices are much lower now. The only reason I didn't rate a 5 is becuase it's not a SONY. Other than that, it's perfection!!!
very pleased!November 26, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the second Samsung TV I have bought and I love it! I was so happy with the 46" I bought that I purchased this one for my bedroom. It is clear, sharp, and the design is sleek.
