Very good picture and sound.

Died after 2 years. Inexcusable. Won't be buying a samsung again.

The picture is good, though not great. The sound was perfectly good. The TV broke almost exactly when the warranty expired. 2 years is wholly unacceptable for a tv this pricey.

Excellent picture, controls and fine tunning Price inputs

remote slightly clumsy sound is limited- for true movie feel, need a surround system

I just purchased this set approximately 1 month ago. I have been very pleased with its performance. At the store, they had this set next to a similar sony 27inch trinitron (not VEGA). The samsung picture quality was cleaner, sharper and there were no visible horizontal lines, seen in a traditional set and the sony. Once a DVD with component connection was placed the set was almost indistinguishable from HDTV at that size. Granted, the HDTV was slightly better, but for at 27inch the difference was minimal. For the price, this set does beat the Sony, which it is mostly being compared to.

Superior video and audio quality. No legacy analog TV looks this good. Very reasonable price, lower than some top-of-the-line analog sets.

It's big and might not fit onto or inside of TV stands or entertainment modules. The styling of the casework emphasises the bulk of the unit. It's heavy, needs two persons to get it into the house. It's only 27 inches, although I find a mere 27 inches plenty big enough in my 12 * 18 living room.

The Samsung 2745FP is a real digital TV set that gives beautiful video from standard definition TV (SDTV) sources. It makes the video from ordinary cable, antenna, VHS tape, or DVD look better, sharper, clearer and crisper than a traditional analog TV set can. The TXN2745FP paints each TV line twice, yielding a display with 1050 lines which completely eliminates the horizontal raster scan lines, visible on ordinary analog TV sets. It also uses digital signal processing tricks to improve sharpness and reduce snow in the picture. The 2745 has stereo sound and speakers, S-video and component video. It makes old VHS tapes look nearly as good as DVD's. inputs, and a flat screen that reduces annoying reflections of room lights. The set can make better pictures from your existing VCR, DVD or cable sources, it is not necessary to upgrade anything else to obtain superior video with the TXN2745. This set is not technically an High Definition TV (HDTV) set, but it but it makes ordinary SDTV look nearly as good as expensive HDTV. Do a side by side comparision in the store, and you will be able to see the difference. Play with the remote, and set the picture to "Normal", color to "Warm1" and digital noise reduction "ON" and the TXN2745 will look better than anything else short of a full HDTV set.
