This is our first flat panel TV and we did quite a bit of research before purchasing. Seems different manufacturers concentrate on different sizes - Samsung had by far the best picture for the 22" class (looked at a bunch of TV's at Best Buy to compare). TV size was dictated by where it's being used. Great antenna - we have no cable at our rural location and often have a difficult time receiving local stations. This TV already had 90% of the local stations with only the coaxial cable connected - I hadn't even connected the antenna yet. With antenna connected it receives all local channels perfectly. The owner's manual is a bible - there are about 1000 features to this TV that we'll never use nor understand. HDTV feature is stunning when using new Blu-Ray Disc player. Have only been using for about one month (Christmas present to ourselves)but so far so good. Would recommend highly. Read more
I'm very happy with this TV. The picture is great, and the sound is good. The Amazon site said it had three HDMI ports at the time I ordered, but the TV in reality only has one HDMI (I sent Amazon a note to correct the product description.) I wasn't thrilled about not getting three HDMI ports, but I decided to keep the TV nonetheless since it has a great picture in the size I need and at a good price. Read more
I just purchased the Samsung LN22B460 and am very pleased with this product. The previous reviews I read were very accurate. The picture is very clean and the colors are great, especially in HD. If not viewing HD channels it is very easy to adjust the colors to get the picture you're looking for. The set up was very easy. Just open the box and plug it in. With not much reading you can figure out how to set up the colors, channel selection, sound, etc. The sound is not terrible like some of the other reviews stated but it could have a little more bottom end to give it a boost. I'll probably buy speakers to add on as I don't have it set up through a sound system. I've owned several Samsung's over the years and feel that they put out a great product. All in all I would highly recommend this t.v. Read more
Purchased this TV through Amazon August 2009. Picture quality and features are nice. Volume is inadequate at times even when cranked to the max. The big issue: It's been sent back for warranty repairs twice. The TV shuts off without any warning and won't restart. When this occured the second time within a month, I started researching the internet. There are numerous internet postings on numerous websites concerning defective Samsung LCD TVs, with the same issue. The root cause appears to be capacitors that are inadequate for operation, that overheat and "blow" after some months of use. From the comments I've read, literally hundreds of them, other customers experienced the same problem as we did. Depending on the size of the unit, you either return it for warranty service or Samsung arranges for a tech repair on site. They then have the parts replaced with the same inadequate parts as originally were installed and resulting in the same failure. Customers with multi-thousand dollar systems have had to junk their units after a couple years use. I anticipate we will have to do the same, unless I can get an electronic technician to open the unit and replace the capacitors with adequately sized ones. I'll wait unit the unit is out of warranty and fails again. Samsung extended the warranty by 3 months, which is a good thing since we now are returning it for the 3rd time for the same failure.

I originaly bought the Samsung LN26B360 and I was totally disappointed and returned it. Then I read that the 4 and 5 series are much better so I gave Samsung another chance. I'm glad I did, wow this set is awesome. The picture is so good digital channels look like HD(I'm not using an HD cable box). Sound quality is just ok but, afterall it is a 22' TV and is not really a problem. If your looking for a really, really good 22" this is the one. Read more
I was a bit concerned when ordering this TV because of the comments regarding poor sound quality. I have not found that to be the case. The sound I am getting on this set is more than acceptable. Of course, if you're looking for theater-quality surround sound, you need better speakers. But for a bedroom set, this is just fine. I also found the set extremely easy to set up, and I have very little technical ability. The remote control is straight forward and simple to use, even without reading the manual. I have no hesitation about giving this TV a 5 star rating. Read more
It was with reluctance that I moved into the 21st Century of TVs. Managed to do so just before June 12th. Now that we have this set we actually watch it more often than the old (13") one. We use a roof-top antenna and finally can watch the local PBS station. All the old stations, with the exception of one, now come in very well. The pictures are very clear. Had to play around with the setup, but I managed quite well and am satisfied. We do not have cable TV. Read more
We enjoy this tv, it's a perfect size for the bedroom. One problem we've had, however, is adjusting the color to standard from dynamic, which is used in the showroom because of the brighter lighting. The colors are too bright, especially the reds. I switch the picture to standard, but it goes back to the dynamic mode each time I turn the tv off and back on. Talked with a salesman and he suggested unplugging it for awhile and said it should re-set itself...but it didn't make any difference. If we can figure this problem out, will give it 5 stars.
