Had Trouble with this Purchase
 
Review Date: August 28, 2009
Reviewer: Liza Smith, Dallas, TX
I think I would have a totally different experience in buying this TV if I had not bought it from Tech for Less. The TV arrived damaged but I thought it was a good looking TV, especially for the money. I liked the crisp picture and the size of the screen. There was a haze on the top left corner, but that was due to the damage sustained in shipment.

I regret I had such a bad purchase experience and I still don't have a replacement TV but was afraid to try to buy on Amazon again. It was the first time I was buying a big ticket item. Samsung 30-inch Widescreen Slimfit CRT HDTV

I think the TV, if it could arrive in better packing, would make someone happy.
Wow

I have no idea how anyone could complain about this television.

I've had it for a little over a month and it's changed the way I watch TV.
The picture quality is amazing, the sound though is what surprised me.
Even without a surround sound system, the television's own speakers provide astonishingly crystal clear sound. This is the sort of TV that makes me wish my digital cable provider made available all HD-channels rather than just a handful.

The set was just what I wanted, an inexpensive, easy way to get myself into the HD-arena. I still want to buy a plasma screen in a year or two, but for right now I am most pleased.

I've had an older model of this tv for almost two years. It broke once in the first month, got it fixed for free from best buy. It's been working great since then.

A lot of the reviews complain about misalignment or severe bowing around the corners. My tv doesn't do this at all, but I have seen some that have. My guess is that it's the luck of the draw--I got lucky. The only problem with the screen is best buy's fault. When they fixed it, they must have turned the brightness up, because now i have a minor burn-in on the lower right corner...way to piss me off! My other complaint is that CRT's are old technology. They are so damn heavy, it's a pain to move it. Check out LCD's.

My recommendation is if you're on a severe budget but want an HDTV, get this. Get it at a local store because there are many potential problems, you can just go get it swapped.

If, however, you have a little more (meaning a couple hundred more) to spend, I'm going to suggest the Sharp Aquos line of tv's. If you shop at the right times, you can get a 26" or even a 30" for around 700. If you're in the market for an HDTV and want quality, you're pretty limited to Samsung (best), Sony, and Sharp. Everything is notably inferior when compared side to side. If you're going for extreme budget, go with Vizio.

I give this four stars because for the my tv, it's a great quality with a good budget. However, compare it to an LCD, and there are a lot of faults. One thing CRT's will always have an upper hand is the richness of black colors. Happy Shopping!
An Excellent Tv

    If you have a low budget in finding a good HDTV then buy this one. Bought one for my mom but had to replace it for some minor defect but it was easy replaced.
