Samsung Flat Front Tv By jb_shops on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I wanted a small 16" good quality TV for my office and was given a Samsung 13" flat front TV. What a disappointment!
The picture quality is fine. The flat front gives a nice clear standard definition image.
The sound quality is average. Built in speakers are set on both sides of the screen. The small separation does not provide a large enough field to evaluate the stereo. Overall, this is a natural grade - it didn't take away from the set nor did it add value.
The remote is crap. Now with most people using programmable remotes or the remote with their cable or satellite receiver the remote is less important. That being said, this looks like early 1980's vintage only larger!
Other, this does not have an S-video input. Are you kidding me!!! Yes in the era of high definition tv's we forget about some technologies, but this is must for a standard definition unit.
It serves the purpose in my office, but I can't wait to replace it with a small LCD. I might even use an extra flat panel computer monitor for that dual function. This was WAY overpriced!!!

Wow, just because a tv is small doesn't mean they should skimp on the features (and charge you more to boot!).
We have a Toshiba CRT and absolutely love the thing. From the sound to the picture clarity, plus all the necessary inputs. You'd think Samsung would have done a much better job on this.
Agree with you this TV is is overpriced cos now flat front TV is so cheap and are as good too
I have to agree that this tv is overpriced for not having typical features! Hope you get to replace it soon!
