Request for HELP! I need someone to enter the service mode of their 2792f (with TV off, push mute, then 1, 8, 2 and then power. Please go under the picture and geometric fields (using the joystick on remote) and write down all the values/numbers of the listed setting parameters. Mine have been changed, and I want to set them to factory specs. There will be approximately 12 values in geo and 12 in picture. I thank you. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Outstanding Image quality, (when watching a DVD in progressive mode). Beautiful design. Great sound.
Weakness:
Unacceptable image reception on cable and on vhs. I was so disapointed with this tv set, that I returned it and took the spectacular Sony Trinitron Wega, instead. |

Strength:
A digital tv for inder 1k, best built in tv speakers i have ever heard. Had pro-logic decoder. Amazing picture. Multipe inputs.
Weakness:
pricy, only 27 inches. Remote universal, is a pain to use with anything else then the tv I use this tv with a pioneer dv-434 dvd played and it looks great. the tv has a decent subwoofer and the sound is great. Progressive scan is impressive. pro-logic decoding is good for starters. A very good tv, i recomend it.

Strength:
Beautiful crisp picture, nice size for those who don't want a big screen and yet want DTV quality with PROGRESSIVE SCAN
Weakness:
Yes, it is heavy, W I D E and evidently being discontinued We run a small digital video editing business and were looking for a demo TV set to wow clients. We record onto DVD's (DVD-R format) and want to impress customers with the quality. I have have much the same buying experience with this set as others who posted. Off to Best Buy to browse without being bothered...notice the incredible clarity and precision of the 2790F TV against others both similar and way beyond it in price....Check the model number and price: TSK 2790F...$799. Consider buying it on the spot, then my senses kick in and I go home for further research. Find out about the differences (that have been mentioned here) between the 2792F and the 2790F. Bought the 2792f for the same price by walking in and out of Tweeter Etc. in San Diego. Similar Products Used: nothing like it.... |

every input you could want. beautiful picture.
Weakness:
none that i can see i just got the tv and it works great. it was an open box. they had the same model on sale for $1000 and i saw it for $699 so i grabbed it. the upconversion to progressive scan is awesome. i can't wait to get a p. scan dvd player to see it really shine. i can't comment on the audio as i'm just using it as a monitor. i highly recommend this television. it's extremely functional and aesthetically pleasing... e-mail me with questions...

Strength:
Excellent image quality, value, flexibility
Weakness:
Heavy For the price, you get a tremendous bargain in a TV that will serve as an excellent secondary set (with your primary set being a big screen). This thing is so flexible. The progressive scan display occasionally makes DirecTV broadcasts look (on some channels/shows) like DVDs! The component video inputs accept both non-progressive (DVD input) and progressive inputs (DTV input), and these just blow me away. I've thrown a couple of DVDs through to get an idea of the image quality (the first night I'd gotten it): X-Men (great), Gladiator (unreal), Matrix (impressive), and Bug's Life (oh my god!). No scanlines to be found, the picture truly approaches HDTV quality. Speaking of HDTV, I hooked up my Toshiba DST3000 HDTV receiver to it, and the one channel I'm currently getting (with my indoor antennae) comes through crystal clear. The manually says that this set supports both 480p and 1080i natively, so I don't see why I won't be able to view HDTV content on it as well. Maybe I'm being too optimistic here, but I don't know why it couldn't. Finally, this set has so many ways to hook up components, and when I first hooked up one of my DVD players, I forgot that I had used s-video instead of the component video, and yet, I nearly made the mistake of thinking it was progressive scan DVD content! This set truly makes analog feeds look better, but the worse the signal the less this set (or any set) can do to remedy that. I wholehearted recommend this product; I did a lot of research before picking up this 27", but so far, no complaints and I'm loving every minute with it.

Strength:
DTV ready
Weakness:
price While there are perhaps more positive things I can say about this TV's features, what bothers me most is its picture quality. I am not sure I like the digitized effect this tube creates. It's definitely hard for me to get used to. My friend doesn't mind it, so you'll have to see it for yourself. Taking a typical 480interlaced reception and making it 480p doesn't always work to its advantage because it give the picture quality a bit blocky as if you were watching a VCD. The quality improves a bit on DVD. From my observation, the pic quality is outstanding when it comes to displaying text or stationary objects on the screen. When there's a lot of motion, it gets blocky. Again, this is just my preference. I am used to TV with lines. However, when I sit a bit further than usual to view the screen, the picture quality is amazing. The 16:9 mode is, I guess, like Sony WEGA 16:9 enhancement slighty improving anamorphic DVD quality. It's overall a good tv. Just preview it (tv reception and dvd) before you buy. Similar Products Used: none |

Strength:
The BEST PICTURE in a 27" tube, abundant inputs, progressive scan capability, a ton of convenience features like split-screen PIP and surf timer, great remote
Weakness:
Sports programs (Cable TV) tend to have "digital artifacts" from close up, VHS tapes look like crap Simply put, this is the best 27" tube TV you can buy. Everything but VHS looks better on this TV. When paired with a good progressive scan DVD player the picture is *unbelievable*. I'm sure the sound is pretty good too but I have the speakers off and the sound routed through my receiver. A ton of inputs and convenience features make this TV even better. It has 2 composite ins, 1 S-video/composite in, and 1 component in on the back, as well as an A/V input with S-video and a headphone jack on the pop-out side panel. The split screen PIP is great for sports programs (you can even listen to the 2nd picture from the headphone jack) or whatever else you watch for that matter. Similar Products Used: My system: |
