 Very Impressed April 1, 2010

I am extremely happy with the performance of this TV, though I was initiatlly confused because the product is slightly different than the description on Amazon. There is only 1 HDMI port on the back on my model and nothing on the side of the TV. There is a USB but it's on the back. My model is definitely the LN22C450 but I spoke with Samsung and they told me that there is another LN22C450 that has an additional HDMI port on the side. Don't know why they have more than one model with the same name. I contacted Amazon about the issue and they offered me a discount which made me forget about the problem. I was impressed by the customer service dept. with Amazon. I liked the idea of a side HDMI connection, but I don't really need two HDMI ports so it wasn't a big enough deal. It would have been nice to have the USB on the side, for easier access, but I can live with reaching around the back since I'm not wall mounting it.
Now on to what I love about the TV:
-It has an excellent picture quality for all types of signals. I'm replacing a 15" Polariod and the quality is light years ahead. The picture is very bright with vivid colors. Regular cable is very clear and smooth, digital 480i cable looks great, and the 720p and 1080i are incredible.
-The sound is more than sufficient for a TV this size. It's rich and clear without the "tinny" sound of other TV's this size.
-The TV has a great digital tuner and picks up "over the air" HD stations very well. There's even a diagnostic signal strength meter. I'm able to pick up all my local network stations without any problems. I have a digital box I purchased that could not do this. I was thrilled to pull in HD signals without a separate antenna. I did not expect it to do this.
-It is well designed and easy to use. The menus are easy to follow and the setup is simple. Even the remote is great.
-It's a great looking TV. The speakers are hidden and it has a slight reddish tint to it near the bottom. It also has a nice low profile. It is about an inch shorter than the C350 even though the screen size is identical. I really liked this since I have it placed on a bookshelf. It's a perfect fit for the room I have it in.
Overall, this TV is awesome. I'm thoroughly enjoying march madness in HD!
Good Choice for RV March 28, 2010

Purchased for travel trailer. Replaces original equip. Haier. Receiving an HDTV channel by RV antenna can be difficult but the Haier's tuner did not help make it any easier. Looked at several brands before picking this TV. I liked the great picture and easy menu and remote control, but was sold by signal strength meter function in the antenna menu. I've been playing with TV set-up at home and found this function makes aiming the antenna very simple. The tuner is sensitive and auto channel search is quick. (For reference, we're 40 miles from nearest station.) It finds channels too weak to produce a picture but able to be viewed by adjusting antenna using signal meter. Sound was not to my liking at standard settings. I fixed it by adjusting settings in equailizer menu. I am happy with this TV and would buy it again. Was eligible for Amazon's free shipping and it was delivered in good time and good condition.
 Cheaply Made Stand May 5, 2010

The screws provided to attach the stand to the television are too large. As a result of the stand not being secured tightly the television wobbles. I am going to attempt to contact Samsung before sending television back.
Update 5/5/10: I contacted Samsung's phone customer service and got the run around (I won't go into detail now) which frustrated me. Next I tried their twitter Customer Service. After some back and forth @SamsungService asked for my email so they can get the information needed to send me the proper size screws. We'll see how this goes.
Update 5/12/10: Well, a week has passed and I have not received the screws from Samsung yet. I'll give them a couple more days while keeping Amazon's Return Policy in mind.
Update 5/13/10: Finally got the screw. That's right screw. Samsung only sent one screw for the 3 screw stand...and to top it off the new screw doesn't fit either.
This little Samsung is about to take a road trip.
Do Not Buy Samsung LCD TV--known defect May 19, 2010
Master Gardener
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
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. We've had the unit about 8 months and it's been non-operational for over one month.
Wrong screws to attach panel to stand June 28, 2010

Purchased this product for my son's birthday. Opened the box, began assembling panel to stand. Screws were impossible to insert. Tried many different strategies, even looked at screws for wall mount. Tried some similar sized screws I had laying around. No joy. Given the experiences of other users reported here, decided it would be a lose to contact Samsung support. Returned the TV.
