A Product Review: TXR3079WH Samsung HD Dlp Television

While looking into purchasing an HDTV, I did thorough research and came upon two possibilities of brands: Samsung and Sony. After visiting electronics stores and viewing both brands I decided on Samsung. The picture always just looked a little sharper to me in comparable sets. It's possible that this is because of the black border that surrounds the screen. When the television picture is contrasted against the black frame, it gives the appearance of a crisp picture.

I finally settled on the Samsung TX-R3079WH 30" Wide SlimFit HDTV with Built-In HD Tuner and ordered it online so that it could be shipped directly to my home. At 120 pounds, I did not want to carry this heavy set home. I had no problem setting up the television and within minutes had it connected to my HDTV cable DVR, my DVD player, and my auxillary stereo system.

For the first month I had no problems with the Samsung HD dlp television set. Then once it came time for March Madness, the NCAA basketball post-season tournament, I noticed my first problem. On the left side of the screen there was a faint green column. Because I was watching a basketball game the whole television screen was filled with a picture of the wooden basketball court. This was the first time I saw the screen filled with the same color (the color of the court floor). When you watch a movie or television program, the background of the screen is usually filled with many different colors. In the case of a sporting event, since you are viewing the same color all over the screen (green grass for football, white ice for hockey, etc)you are able to see where the screen is flawed.
