Samsung LN26A330 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Reviews
I bought this TV to replace my old Sony tube TV which was defective and had a greenish screen. That TV was only a few years old, too, which doesn't say too much for Sony products. This TV, however, is so beautiful; it is FAR superior to the old tube TV I had. There is just no comparison. The colors are vibrant and the contrast is amazing, especially in HD. It is my first HD TV and I can definitely see why people love these TVs so much.
The sound is just okay. I do not have the sound distortion problem resulting from using the QAM tuner and not a cable box with Comcast with this TV. Hopefully, I will never get this problem since it is a major issue with the 32" Samsung TV we bought shortly after this one. You can see what I mean by reading my review on the LN32A330 model. Apparently, most of Samsung's tuners are defective in these TVs and do not work well with cable signals (mainly Comcast) unless there is a cable box. This results in distorted or "robotic" sound on HD channels at regular intervals.
I highly recommend this TV ONLY if you use a cable box. I personally wouldn't take a chance with it if you have Comcast or any other cable without a cable box. My 26" doesn't have the sound problem, but it could only be a matter of time before it pops up, which I have heard does happen.

Samsung LN26A330 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV - Jim K. - Belmont, MA
This TV was easy to set up. It is a decent TV, however, the picture quality is not quite what I expected. The sound is ok.
Cannot say enough good things about Samsung televisions - B. Webster - Eastern Shore of Maryland
I purchased this television to replace an old, old bedroom tv. I cannot say enough good things about the Samsung line of televisions. At the same time I purchased this one, I also purchased a 40 inch.
This television (the 26 inch) has a high quality picture vs. our 26 inch Sony. This television "hands down" outdoes my Sony in sound, picture quality and adjustment features. In fact, if you stand to the side of our Sony, the picture becomes very blurry--not so with the Samsung.
The menu is very user friendly and I really like the fact that you can set the volume to adjust with channel changes. Our cable system is such that some stations are much louder than others. With a quick adjustment on the Samsung, that no longer is a problem.
Amazon's shipping is so fast and free shipping is sure a plus. We actually paid less for this television than we did for our Sony and this is a better television.
I would absolutely recommend this television to any looking for a high quality flat screen. I just recommended a Samsung to a friend, who went to an "unnamed" store to see it in person and was very impressed.
