Summary: Dinette TV
Comment: This was purchased to replace an old 13" TV I was using in the dinette. It fits nicely on the counter. I have a raised 24" cabinet in the center and it fits the width and height nicely. It has a great picture and the audio is ok. I'm happy with it for the price. Amazon was right on time with the two day delivery. This would also make a good TV for a bedroom. Lot's of connections and could easily be hooked up to a surround sound system. Includes an optical audio out. Some reviewers complained about a difficult set up with the menu's. I did not find it particularly difficult. If you can program an old VCR you can handle this.

Summary: Great set
Comment: We bought this set to replace an old 20" Sony tube model. We hooked a Playstation 3 to the second HDMI and we think it's great.

Summary: Great TV
Comment: -Aside from the goofy start-up /shut-down sound it makes (thankfully an easy menu change takes care of this menace), it is a great addition to my small apartment.
-The Amazon.com price beat the giant area retailers easily... one store by $150!!
-Setup was easy too: Just plug and play! At first glance, 1/6th of the back are various connections: enough to make anyone's head spin. But everything is well labeled to accomadate even the techphobic out there.
-I really like the look of the TV without the speakers pointing at me: the sound quality is even better than my old TV (or maybe it's because it is old!) The picture quality is great: I do not have HD cable or satellite, but if I did, I'm sure I'd be in bliss.

Summary: Bought it based on these reviews and not let down!
Comment: I read all the reviews on the Samsung LNT2353H, which eventually convinced me to buy it myself. I was in the need of a serious upgrade from my old traditional 20" TV, and knew I wanted an HD flat screen because of the gaming consoles I planned to buy soon too, and I read that HD games on the XBOX360 look amazing on this TV--and I wasn't let down. This TV definitely lives up to all of its positive reviews: very sexy look, easy to set up, amazing quality picture AND beautiful sound. It picks up broadcast and cable channels that are broadcast in HD automatically, so immediately my regular TV viewing was so much more beautiful. It has lots of nifty modes and options to customize your viewing and listening experience, e.g. the Game Mode and Movie Mode. It's fairly light, it's bright, and the price is just right! (well--it's actually a sweet deal: thanks Amazon for an affordable piece for a piece of top-notch technology!) Oh and the fact that it can serve as a monitor for my laptop and/or desktop sealed the deal for me.

Summary: So far, so good
Comment: Got this TV on Amazon Prime a little more than a week ago. Also bought a Sony Bravia at the same time for a different use. The Samsung works great...gets a good high def picture. The non high def seems a little blurry when viewed up close, but that could just be the effect of being spoiled by the high def or being too close to the screen. I programmed the TV and cable to adjust the picture size automatically for wide screen high def and non wide screen non high def because I hate stretched pictures.
Our new Sony Bravia is not hooked up to high def and its remote has a nice function button which toggles between wide and standard screen, a function the Samsung has less conveniently buried in its onscreen menu (but which the case of our Samsung we do not need). I think the menu and navigation in general are a little clearer and more elegant on the Sony. I am not sure I would choose the Samsung if you do not have high def...might go with a Sony. But for our use in our kitchen (watching the Red Sox!!!)with the high def, we absolutely love the Samsung.
