I did a lot of research on this HDTV before I actually decided to get it while comparing it to the Vizio 22 inch with 1080p resolution. There's a need for me to split the signal from my PS3 to a 40" Samsung HDTV (1080p) and into this 22" HDTV. The average reviews are right on the money and I can't believe the price for this model is actually less than $300. The Vizio HDTV is about $329 at target and not much difference elsewhere but with a mediocre performance.
Pros:
- Excellent & stunning HD display at 1080p/720p even from the PC
- Nice profile for a desktop table, elegant for a multimedia center
- More than enough ports you will ever need (2 HDMI/component/DVI/VGA/optical etc)
- Very good location for input/output ports; 1 HDMI at the back and 1 at the left side. I actually like the fact that the 3.5mm headphone jack is also at the left side near the 2nd HDMI port
- Built-in HD tuner
- It's a Samsung, very reliable brand that rivals Sony in quality, design and performance minus the hefty price
Cons:
- The stand is a little flimsy, monitor shakes a bit when you nudge the table
- It's true that the sound is below par but when I'm on PC monitor mode I have 2.1 speakers and my PS3 is connected to a 5.1 Kenwood receiver with 600watts of power / PS3 mode can use headphones as an option (not really an issue for me)
- The remotes for my 40" Samsung HDTV and this model have the same signal, they're about 6 feet apart so one remote activates both of them which is annoying when you're playing and somebody turns off one monitor - both of them will actually turn off.
All in all, the pros easily outclass the cons. In my opinion, this is the best 22 inch HDTV with 1080p res out there. This product is so underrated maybe because it's not sold in retail stores. Bestbuy sells the same class at least $350 with 720p res; some of them even $400+. This is truly a steal and impressive engineering design (coming from an engineer)!!!
