User Review: Samsung 27" Direct View, Model TX-R779H

From Matthew Torres, About.com Guide

Manufacturer: Samsung
Model: TX-R779H
Type of TV: Direct View (Tube)
Screen Size: 27"
Year Bought: 2005
Cost: $450
Extended Warranty Bought: No

Likes: It is the slim CRT design to take up less space, which is wonderful because it decreases the overall weight. It is very stylish.

Dislikes: It takes a long time to start, like it has to warm up or something. TV is "HDTV-Ready," but when an upconvert dvd player is attached it makes no difference. In fact, the screen door effect of this set is pretty bad.

Why I Chose This Model: I liked the slim design.

Would I Buy It Again: No, the TV is below average. It's not terrible - just not that great.
