Product Description

Samsung's new generation of LCD TVs with Multimedia PC/DVD/TV inputs represents the ultimate in flexibility, picture quality and style. Available in a range of sizes and styles to compliment your needs anywhere in your home, these powerful sets can be used as an HDTV monitor or just to watch the evening news. At just a few inches thick and under 11 lbs. these products' small size belies their powerful capabilities.

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for maximum quality and versatility, Samsung's widescreen LTN1785W thin-film-resistor LCD TV comes with an internal 181-channel NTSC TV tuner and external input jacks so you can hook up and view nearly any home-entertainment source, from an HDTV receiver to a DVD player, satellite system, gaming console, or other component. And because it's fully digital, you can even use the set as a high-resolution PC monitor, taking full advantage of its PC picture-in-picture feature to keep an eye on your video source while you seek more information or write e-mail online.

This HDTV-ready set accepts not only the flicker-free progressive-scan output from your compatible DVD player, PVR, or gaming console, but also decoded 720p and 1080i high-definition signals from an external digital set-top box or satellite receiver. Its native image resolution, at 1,280 x 768, exceeds 720p resolution and is enhanced by a high (600:1) contrast ratio, an exceptional peak brightness of 450 candles/square meter, and wide (170 degrees vertical/horizontal) viewing angles so everyone watching can enjoy a clear view. Its lamp life is rated a 60,000 hours for years of entertainment.

The set sports stereo speakers with three watts audio power per channel, and WOW Surround is there to produce deep bass and spacious surround effects from just two speakers--even from monaural sources. For connections, you get a pair of high-definition component-video inputs and one each composite-video, S-video, and 15-pin D-Sub RGB video for your computer (with accompanying stereo analog RCA audio input). A headphone jack fosters private listening, and the set is stand or wall mountable with VESA standard mounting holes (the WMTL1700X/XAA mounting kit is optional).

An Excellent Product for the Den or Kitchen Corner.......2004-03-28

After looking at comparable models from Sharp, Phillips, Sony, and others we settled on the Samsung LTN 1785W. It is sitting on a credenza in the breakfast nook off the kitchen and fits very nicely on the counter and under the china cabinets. The screen is plenty bright enough for full daylight viewing. This was important to us, as the area has a lot of natural light from windows and a skylight. The picture is very clear and sharp. The options available for picture, color and sound adjustment are simple and effective. I added the HDTV box yesterday and the added clarity is quite astounding. As noted in another review I would rate the sound quality as acceptable, but not outstanding. The Dolby 5.1 added with HDTV helps.

I note this set is list priced (currently) at about $999, but we got it for over $100 less by shopping around, then got $100 cable credit from Comcast and Samsung on a special offer. So, while initially pricey for a 17 inch set, the net cost was quite reasonable for this quality HDTV ready widescreen set.

Sound shortcomings.......2004-02-20

This TV is a decent device but a little overpriced for what you get.

My number one gripe with this TV has to do with the sound quality. The standard built-in speaker does not offer the clarity and crispness of the ordinary 10 year-old tube TV that it replaced.

The other annoyance has to do with the short muscial tone it plays every time the TV is turned on or off. It gets old fast.

My third peeve is with the monitor's on/off indicator light. When the TV is turned off, a red LED light glows red, and when the TV is on, the LED light disappears which is the total opposite way that I would have designed it to function.

On other hand, the picture quality for regular cable-TV channels/broadcast TV is good to very good, depending on the channel.

The HDTV option is a little awkward to work and not worth the trouble due to the limited number of HDTV channels available in NYC.

Bottom line, is I love the thinness of the TV but the speaker system needs improvement.

Hidden costs of the wide screen.......2004-02-10

Don't take me wrong - this TV is the great product. I use it in the kitchen, as everyone else. The picture is sharper and the colors are truer (in comparison, say, to LTM1755, which I owned briefly). But when I connected it to the old DirecTV receiver, the picture came out extended. So, I had to update the receiver, get cables (because this piece does not come with them), etc. If you want to use it mostly for watching non-HDTV programs in non-wide-screen format - don't get this monitor. Get Sharp instead it's less fussy.

Very Good so far !.......2003-11-30

I got my Samsung LTN1785W 2 days ago and so far it is a great TV. I saved space on my office table and the picture is very good so far. I have to connected any component so far but with normal cable it is fine. I will tell you more after I play so more with it !

Fantastic TV.......2003-11-23

We really struggled with spending $900 for a small TV for the kitchen peninsula but after buying a $200 16" Samsung tube TV and losing so much counter space plus the odd viewing angle, we decided to return the 16" and blow the wad. It turned out to be the right thing to do. What a gorgeous picture this thing has and being HGTV ready and wide screen, this will not be obsolete in 2-3 years. It has a crystal clear sharp picture with no light glare. It's not heavy and easy to move around. The extra space we gained really makes a difference. Everytime we watch it we are so happy we decided to go this route. Now we wish we could replace our other TV's with LCD/plasma, but guess we'll wait till the prices on the larger screens come down.

Customer Reviews:

Can't use it - without spending more money.......2006-08-24

I was excited to receive my new walkman, but dismayed when I opened the packaging. Unlike every other portable cassette player I've bought for the last 20 years, it doesn't have a waist clip! I use walkmen for running and gym workouts, and have always attached it to my workout apparel. I'm dismayed that I can't return it because you can't see the back of the item due to the way it's packaged, so I didn't know about this issue until I opened it. If you, too, need a waist clip for your walkman, DO NOT BUY THIS ONE!

It's good man.......2003-05-21

i got this one as a gift from a friend
it was a very nice gift
i used it like 6 hours a day and it never cause me any problems
and i mean never!
easy to use, small size, many good options
i love it

Perfect For the Pool.......2003-01-29

I bought this player to use in the pool with my Aqua-Tune water-proof pouch. It's so slim and light that I forget I'm wearing it when I'm swimming or doing water aerobics. It doesn't mind my energetic jumping nor does it seem to mind the damp environment of my gym bag. I'm delighted with it.

Considering the low price, very nifty!.......2002-06-15

I bought this at Amazon.com ..., a substantial discount. Having played with it for a couple hours, my initial impression is that it's definitely worth at least [the amount I paid.] In fact it's probably worth the MSRP [amount] It's very compact, having the same length as a cassette case, slightly wider, and about %30-40 deeper, so it's about as small and compact as a cassette player could be, and very portable. Although the lid opens easily, inserting the cassette into the holder requires some concentration, and must be done while sitting or standing, and probably couldn't be done in the dark.

The difference between the extra bass (S-XBS) being off and on is very noticeable, and using my good headphones provided an enjoyable listening experience not unlike my regular home stereo. It comes with a pair of headphones, but I didn't use them, using my good pair instead, but I think that's fair, since the free headphones that come with this are for convenience only and probably not appropriate for serious listening, so I won't pretend that they are. At least the player unit is capable of high quality sound playback, so use good speakers to make the most of it.

There are only 5 radio preset buttons, and a sixth, "function" button must be pressed once before preset buttons 1-5, twice to access presets 6-10, so I supposed this can be a little awkward for some people. 30 presets are possible. Some awkwardness is more evident if you forget to press the function button first, because the 5 buttons used for the radio presets are also used to control the tape player. So if you want to switch from radio station #2 to #3, for example, and there's a tape in the unit, but you don't press the function button before pressing preset button #3, the radio will turn off while the tape starts to rewind! So having to press the function button first (and sometimes twice) before pressing any of the radio presets is awkward, but that's the price of having a unit this streamlined.

One surprise is that there's no AC jack! You must always use batteries! The one consolation is that only a single AAA battery is required, and that lasts for 25 hours! Also, the battery is very easy to change, and 4 come with the unit. Rechargeable batteries might be economical, but if you prefer to use AC power, such as you might do if you set the unit on a shelf for long periods of time and used external speakers, do NOT buy this. It is the one aspect of this unit which could be considered a definite negative.

Except for some metal parts inside, the unit is entirely plastic, with some glossy chrome plating. I have to say it's an attractive, eye catching unit nonetheless. In the online ads the case looked metal, and it would have been nice, but at this price that would be asking too much ... But it is very light weight and compact and you wouldn't notice if it was in a backpack or briefcase, or even a jacket pocket. If you do much traveling I would definitely recommend it, especially if you don't want to lose something valuable. In fact, it's so inexpensive ... at Amazon.com in early June 2002) you might want to get it even if you already have one, as a spare.

My Advice? Don't Buy This Player!.......2002-02-13

I am very disappointed with this cassette player! I sent mine back as soon as I could. The least little movement--and I mean the least little movement--and the cassette tape slips, wobbles. My wife's inexpensive Casio ($..., Walgreen's) I can shake and shake without missing a beat of the tape.

All I want is a cassette player (and radio) that doesn't look like a kid's toy and just plays the music I want to hear without any wobbling of the tape. Only features I want are auto stop or auto reverse. I thought this one was the answer, but it wasn't.

Product Description

It's easy to see why the SyncMaster DynaFlat is the most advanced screen in the world. The SyncMaster 955DF DynaFlat monitor features the flattest tube available.

Offering outstanding picture quality, Samsung SyncMaster 955DF is the best choice for your home or office!

For designers and business owners who want to maximize their imaging and high-speed interactivity with an 18-inch viewable flat screen, the 955Df FS monitor features an intense color saturation in 0.20-millimeter dot pitch with 1,600 x 1,200 resolution at 68 Hz.

Customer Reviews:

bad monitor - very fuzzy.......2007-06-13

Don't buy this monitor - after a couple of years of use, the graphics and text are so blurry it's impossible to read anything. Several attempts to ajust color, focus, etc. resulted in no improvement. Samsung support was of no help.

A great gift.......2006-06-21

I received this monitor as a Christmas present in 2003. The product is still being used and I am quite happy with it. While it is generally still in good shape, there are a few things I've noticed since first use and more recently.

The image quality hasn't deteriorated, but there are now wave like patterns ever present on the screen. These aren't highly noticeable, but if you look for them intentionally, they're hard to miss. Another issue I've noticed is that, much of the time, the on-screen display curves at the corners and, sometimes, when the monitor is turned off and back on, the display will appear to edge off the screen. I'm not sure what causes either of these to happen, but they've proven to be minor concerns. To that end, the only thing that's really bothered me is the weight of it. It's not much heavier than most CRT monitors, but it's caused the center part of my desk to bow. It could be that the desk is of lower quality, I really don't know.

Overall, this is a great monitor. The 19 inches provide a pleasantly large viewing format and the flat screen perspective is nice as well.

(Note: since reviewing this in June [now November] on-screen text has become blurry.)

1 Year Review.......2005-02-21

I've had this monitor for a little over a year now and it has performed well. The screen, though not the crispest, most beautiful picture available, is excellent for what I paid for it. The color accuracy is decent, with the adjustment controls being relatively straightforward. There are, however, a couple of problems that lowered the score of this monitor in my mind.

Issue #1: The cable connecting the monitor to the CPU is way too short. I have a moderately size L desk and the cable barely reaches the CPU. Indeed, the cable has sustained damage (I have to tape it to make it work properly) because of this. While extension cables are available, Samsung should have anticipated the need for a long cable by either making the cable longer or offering a way to disconnect the cable entirely so that the customer could substitute a longer cable.

Issue #2: The programs included with the monitor were translated poorly. While someone with a bit of technical knowledge can smirk through these mistakes, a novice might have some frustrating moments trying to figure out what the well-intentioned programmer meant. A note to Samsung: Hire better translators! ;-)

All in all, though, I have been pleased. The resolution suits my needs and I don't notice any problems with flicker or blurriness as some reviewers have mentioned.

Not too great.......2004-05-05

The main problem with this monitor is that almost all of the resolution and frequency combinations cause the screen to dance and wave. In other words, they are unusable unless you want to get a headache after using your computer for a few minutes. Only a few of the combinations work. For some reason, 60Hz and 1600*1200 works just fine. I'd choose a lower resolution so that everything on my screen wouldn't be really small, but the lower resolutions don't work, so I guess I'm stuck with this setting. Strange, in a bad way. This monitor was bought as a replacement for a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 900u, which was also a 19". It gave me five good years before it decided it was time to go to monitor heaven. It was a great monitor while I had it.

CRT monitors are so cheap now; I can't imagine there aren't some good cheap CRT's. Check out what other customers say about other models. I guess I can't expect to get the same quality from a $200 monitor as I got from the $900 Mitsubishi. In any case, consider spending a bit more money on a better monitor. You are going to have to use it and look at it hour after hour. Get something else.

blur text drives me crazy........2004-04-11

I bought this monitor April 2001 and now its blur text drive me crazy. Playing with the control doesn't help. I am disppointed and will dump it.

Product Description

With its extensive configuration, high resolution and the compact Design the Digimax 210SE is the photographic instrument of the future, a digital camera, which leaves hardly any desires unsatisfied. The 1.8 inch LCD color monitor on the rear side of the Digimax 210SE does not only serve as menu window for the picture administration on the memory card, but can with unfavorable lighting conditions serve as a back-up for the optical viewfinder. The selection wheel on the top side of the Digimax 210SE enables not only a remarkably comfortable operation of the camera, but guarantees to that that one can change its position within seconds without annoying pauses between the different functions. The objective of the Digimax 210SE is a three-fold zoom shot with a focal length range from 5, 8 , 17.4 mm. This corresponds with 35mm cameras to a focal length range from 38 , 115mm. that enables the digital two-fold zoom to double the focal length. The small window on the top of a camera informs about the available capacity on the memory card. If the card is full, one exchanges it in few seconds or downloads the image files on a computer.

Not worth the money.......2006-05-04

I just started my gift basket business and thought this would be a great way to 1. save money 2. save time. I spent more time fixing my pictures than anything. Now I find out my flash is broken, and the bad flash may have caused the darkeness in my pictures. I take pictures of my baskets before I sell them, and when they're gone I can't get them back to take another picture. I am now in search for a better camera. I don't know why I'll never learn that you get what you pay for.

Not happy.......2004-01-29

This is the first time I have ever bothered to write a review although I feel that it is necessary to save other people some grief. I got this camera for 1/2 off at a going out of business sale and I regret even that! One reviewer had said that the lag time is awful. I couldn't agree more! We took it whale watching on our vacation to Boston. I now have pleanty of dark pictures of the very end of the whale and also many of the water splash the whales leave. What a let down!

Good (not great) camera for the money.......2003-05-19

Camera takes decent pictures, certainly good enough for web sites and general photography, but you wouldn't mistake the images as something from a professional camera (and at this price, you really wouldn't expect to).

What I really like about this camera is the service. I just sent the camera in to fix a problem with the flash and mode selector wheel. A new reconditioned camera was received only 2 weeks after it was sent in.

lasted 4hrs.......2002-05-19

I have used a few digi cams the kodak easyshare dx3600, nikon coolpix775, both of wich had good image quality , and sony I wanted my own istead of using everyone elses what I realy wanted was the nikon it took the best but I decided to save the money and get the samsung thinking becouse it was 2megapic it would be ok. Not even close, taking a picture wasnt easy as the camera was not quick enough I missed everything that I took, the lcd viewer was so dark I tried using it then gave up,it had some good options but no explanation as how to or when it would be best to use them, not only that but since the view finder was so awfull it was hard to read the options and change them. Then came time for me to transfer them to my computer they looked awfull the worst I had ever seen you could sea every block the color was poor and dark just hidius I wouldnt even take it a step further to print it why bother I knew this camera was junk and returned it 4 hrs after buying it. for the money I sugest the kodak for the same price much better picture and the instructions are great or go up 50 bucks or so and get the nikon even better just dont buy the samsung

Good camera but could be better........2001-12-09

This is my first digital camera and I have been fairly satisfied with it. Generally, I agree with the previous reviews. Overall, it is a good camera and the price was just right - especially with the mail-in rebate! My research, including these reviews, concludes that this camera is of generally good quality and comparable to many similar cameras.

Pictures have been very good quality with any of the settings. Menus allow some adjustments and the usual camera settings. Not too complicated but very useful. But images are often brighter in the camera's ccd display than when viewed on the computer screen. Haven't experienced poor image quality problems thus far. They look great on the computer screen. Print outs look quite good as well. That has as much to do with your printer as your camera.

The movie option is great fun. Only I wish it could record longer movies. Disappointed by the lack of a sound option. Of course, it is not a video camera so don't expect much. Yet has been great fun for computer viewing and might even try sending via e-mail and sharing on family website.

The camera's two biggest problems are: it uses up batteries much too quickly, and images tend to be too dark when taken in low light conditions.

Again, these are problems typical of these cameras. But they can be acceptable considering other things such as cost. Certainly, an AC adapter saves batteries during image downloads (and handy when taking pictures) and is available at the usual places. Odd that Samsung doesn't offer an adapter or recharger kit. Get the best batteries you can find and keep an extra set handy. Adobe's PhotoDeluxe software provided with the camera is simple and great. I'll not bother to use my other photo editing software. Even so, it would become quite tedious to 'fix' every dark pic captured inside at, say, someone's birthday party. I think I can live with this problem, for now.

Also, buying additional memory cards is a big plus. I am considering 64 or 128 mega pixel Sandisk cards. Price is reasonable, so why not have the added flexibility?

Recommendation: worth buying if it suits your digital camera needs and expectations. could make for a good beginner digital camera.
