Great picture quality, but the sound system is very poor

Strengths: HDTV, life-like picture quality, ultra-stylish design, energy efficient

Weaknesses: Poor sound quality brings down the overall viewing experience

The Samsung LA22A450C1 is a reasonably priced LCD television, which I would recommend if you are planning to buy a new one. With a 22-inch TV screen, it is small and compact. Its space-saving design makes it perfect for bedrooms. You even have the option of wall mounting the unit. I also like the look of the product, it is very stylish.

It shares some of Samsung’s excellent proprietary technology like Digital Natural Image Enhancer (DNIe+) and Wide Colour Enhancer2. The high resolution results in an amazing picture quality. Excellent colour, contrast and motion optimization will give you a life-like viewing experience. The audio quality is not as exciting as that of the video, which is very disappointing.

There is one more thing that goes against this nice-looking LCD TV. This HD-ready TV comes without a HD tuner. The built-in tuner is an analogue-based system, which is not up to the expected level. All the AV outputs are placed on the backside of the TV, which is definitely not very user friendly.
