Amazon.com Product Description

Slim, light, and beautiful, Samsung's 26-inch LNR2668W LCD TV combines sleek looks with high performance. This HDTV-ready set lets you enjoy not only regular TV, but HDTV images from any high- or enhanced-definition source, such as a DTV set-top box or a progressive-scan DVD player via a suite of state-of-the-art connections. The TV comes with a built-in NTSC tuner for capturing traditional broadcast signals, but would require a separate tuner, digital cable box, or HD tuner fro a satellite TV company to pull in high definition broadcasts. For a model with a built-in ATSC HD-tuner, see Samsung's LN-R268W. This TV Samsung's Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA) screen provides high brightness and amazingly rich contrast for lifelike images and realistic colors. A mere 3.7 inches thick without its detachable stand, the TV produces exciting, perfectly flat, images while occupying minimal space in your office, living room, bedroom, or kitchen.

Samsung's DNIe™
Samsung's revolutionary DNle™ (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail.

Motion Optimizer
Fast-moving images are optimized to produce more natural-looking motion, thus reducing video noise or blurring.

Contrast Enhancer
Brightness and contrast levels are enhanced for deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites.

Color Optimizer
Colors are reproduced with a more lifelike realism, whites are more accurate, and skin tones are given a more natural hue.

Detail Enhancer
DNIe analyzes video signal elements to produce sharper detail, clearer image separation, and more natural edge transition.

The set boasts a 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution. Its widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio matches the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, while its wide, 170-degree viewing angles (horizontal x vertical) ensures that everyone in the room will enjoy a great view, even when you've mounted the unit on a wall. A built-in brightness sensor automatically adjusts the TV's luminance for the ambient brightness of a given room.

Onboard 10-bit processing produces 3.2 billion lifelike colors and aids in video signal processing for your analog sources. And with its lightning-quick 12 ms response time, astronomical 3,000:1 contrast ratio, impressive 500 cd/m2 brightness rating, and onboard 3D Y/C digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), you'll see sharp, focused images regardless of their source.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life, space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.

The LNR2668W's DNIe (Samsung Digital Natural Image engine) offers a vision of digital perfection in natural, crystal-clear images that reveal even the most minute detail. The process involves 4 key enhancements: contrast and brightness (for deep, rich blacks and natural whites), motion (which optimizes fast-moving images to produce natural-looking motion, reducing video noise or blurring), color (for lifelike realism, accurate whites, and skin tones with natural hues), and detail (DNIe analyzes video signals to ensure sharp detail, clear image separation, and natural edge transitions).

Samsung's patented My Color Control technology lets you control specific colors without affecting the whole screen. Samsung provides 6-color control selections: white, red, pink, yellow, green, and blue. It's your picture--you decide how it looks.

The LNR2668W makes flexibility a top priority, giving you several preset picture and sound modes (and custom settings for each). The TV also permits color temperature adjustment for warm, cool, or neutral tones, along with 4 onscreen languages to choose from (English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese). Choose one of several preset sound modes (standard, music, movie, speech, and custom) for broadcast through the set's built-in speakers (5 watts per channel x 2).

Connections include 2 component-video inputs (480i/480p/720p/1080i), a direct-digital HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), a PC input (15-pin D-Sub with minijack analog audio), 2 composite-video inputs, 1 S-video input, 1 RF input, 5 attendant sets of stereo (left/right) RCA audio inputs, and 1 stereo RCA audio output. The set's Anynet (RS-232C) control option simplifies use with other Samsung audio/video components.

Other features include single-tuner picture-in-picture (view 1 TV channel and 1 input source simultaneously), a sleep timer, V-Chip parental control, closed captioning, and an auto volume leveler to minimize jarring differences in loudness between, say, TV programs and their commercials.

Get a free 42" Plasma TV instead!.......2006-05-08

Why settle for less, when you can get a brand new original Panasonic or Samsung 42 inch plasma TV for Free! I got mine from this web site: awesomestufffree.com/plasma-tv

Wonderful TV.......2006-03-12

I shopped for months and compared dozens of brands and models. This TV has a terrific picture, and decent sound. The average sound quality is no issue, because I use my entertainment system for that anyway. I considered spending more on a Sony, but opted for this set due to the price. I am glad. This performs as well as I could possibly hope. I feel the price of about $1100 was more than fair. In the future, I will consider Samsung as a first choice for elctronics, rather than a consolation. If you want performance, rather than a showy name, seriously consider this set.

Nice Purchase.......2005-12-29

I was originally looking at projection televisions with 52" screens. I did not like the angle of viewing from these sets, not to mention I live on the second floor. So I considered a flat panel. I went with the Samsung for several reasons. First, the black frame is beautiful. Second, the picture is outstanding. Consider the 3000:1 ratio when purchasing a lcd tv. The colors are outstanding. The 26" is large enough to give you the widescreen flat tv effect. I have the unit in a bookcase that measures 29" wide, so it fits perfectly. I might add a wall mount in the future. Also, this set would make a very large pc monitor, although I will use it a my main tv. I purchased the extended warranty for this high end product.

Incredible!!.......2005-12-28

I purchased this as a gift for my wife to be used as a PC monitor. My selection was based on quality only as price was not a deciding factor. I went to many retail stores and saw the TV in the TV isle, hooked up to an HDTV signal. I was hesitant to purchase because I was not planning on using this as a TV/HDTV monitor. However, after seeing how crisp and clear the picture was compared to all the other LCD TV's, I took a chance and purchased it and placed it under our tree for Christmas morning.

Setup was a breeze but took some effort that was not due to any flaw in the TV itself. The connection using the PC input for standard VGA (15 pin) cable was simple. The first test showed the display as normal aspect and not widescreen. I changed the TV to widescreen but the picture was "stretched" and did not look good. I played with the desktop settings (resolution) and could not find any that worked to my satisfaction. I then consulted the owners manual and it suggested using 1366 x 768 screen size. I did not have that resolution so I went to the video card website and downloaded the latest video driver for my wifes card. Once it was installed and the computer reset, I was staring at the most perfect picture I have ever seen for a computer monitor. The colors were bright, bold and vivid, there was no distortion or dot crawl. My wife and I surfed a few of our favorite sites and booted up a few of our favorite games. Each and everytime, we would look at each other and exclaim "THIS IS KEWL"! A fantastic picture quality!!!

I am so happy with this purchase and the quality of the TV/monitor that I plan to replace my 21 Sony Trinitron CRT monitor with the Samsung LCD.

Surround use only.......2006-03-12

I had these set up as my front channel when there was no other way to setup my system (N38II's, S-Center, N26II's, PB12)due to room configuration. They sounded great, but couldn't keep up with the N38II's and the S-Center. When I finally was able to set them up as the surround channel, they found their calling. I don;t think I would want anything larger for surrounds in my 20'x10' listening area. They do wonderfull from 150Hz on up. They play lower, but with a lacking of authority. I suggest these be used as surrounds for a 4.1, 5.1 6.1 or 7.1 system. They can be used as mains for a small stereo or as TV speakers, but not home theatre mains.

Great Performance For the Size/Price.......2003-01-29

I usually subscribe to the "bigger is better" theory when it comes to speakers, like my much loved KEF Reference 104/2's. I bought these small JBL's to use in another room, mainly for TV sound and background music, and was pleasantly surprised with the sound they produce. It appears JBL engineers have done an excellent job with these little speakers and I would definitely consider other JBL models in the future.

JBL N26 II 2-Way 6" Bookshelf Speakers.......2002-04-06

These speakers sound great, the 6" midrange puts out very clean sound, the tweeter is very crisp and clean, and they actually put out very nice bass.

I have a pair of DCM KX-12 speakers which are floor standing speakers which I use as my main speakers, run by a JVC amp which is about 6 years old, but still puts out enough power and sounds good.

I bought these speakers to use as my secondary speakrs, and they are great. the only thing is I might return them because I wanted to get some small speakers like the JBL N24 posted on here, but they weren't in stock. I had a gift card that's why I didn't go anywhere else. I was looking for speakers that I could either mount on the wall or put on my computer table, something not taller than 10"-11". Since there's no technical data posted on here about these, I thought that they would be smaller, so I bought them. They are 17"x10"x9", which isn't that big, but I just don't have the room for them, although I would hate to see them go, because I'm starting to like them more and more as I listen to them.

Good Monitor - Esp. for Price.......2006-01-16

This monitor has been getting a rather bad rep., and I for one can't find that much to complain about. I've owned and used the 985e for a little over 5 years as my primary monitor.

In my personal opinion, for a monitor of its size and, again, low price, I believe it does an exceptionally good job of color reproduction, displays anything from video, text, webpages very clearly, and also sports a rather good range of resolutions: up to 2048x1536 at 60Hz, and I regularly keep it at 1600x1200 at 75hz.

As one reviewer mentioned, it does create a bit of a hassle when changing resolutions, as it will take a good deal of adjusting to get it to fit the entire screen perfectly, but I wouldn't consider it an actual "problem", because once you've got it set, it stays that way, thus, a one time inconvenience per res. change.

I will say, occasionally, you will notice minor screen artifacts at higher brightness levels, and most often when coupled with vast white webpages. Otherwise, you won't even notice it 95+% of the time.

In all, I give this monitor 4 out of 5, because of the resizing issue, and the occasional artifacts, but highly recommend it to anyone that can settle for less than perfect, esp. at such a good price.

Works fine--while it works.......2004-05-31

After using the Envision EN-985e for over a year, I've found that the best thing about this monitor is the 3-year warranty. My family decided to purchase this as a replacement for our Compaq 15" monitor included with our computer. At first the huge viewing area was impressive, but it was very difficult to adjust to where it was square in the screen, and completely in focus. But we were willing to live with it. Unfortunately just five days later, the monitor was dead. Figuring it was just a defective one, we returned it. The replacement worked for 3 months before it again failed. After another round of sending it back to the manufacturer and getting it repaired, it worked for 6 months then failed again. More warranty service, worked for another few months, and now it has stopped working once more. Without the warranty this thing would have been a complete waste of money. As it is, it's just a poor excuse for a monitor, and unless you have a backup to use while you're sending it back for warranty service, STAY AWAY.

Not even close..........2004-02-04

I bought this monitor when it was on sale + 50 bucks rebate. With a coupon, total came out to about 100. Luckily I did not cut off the barcode or else I wouldn't be able to return it.

It was easy enough to set this up but the problem started when I tried to adjust the screen. No matter what I did, I just couln't achieve the optimal view setting with clear text and color.

Unless it was set at 1024x768 or the next higher setting of 11xx at 60 mhz, the screen was painfully filled with moire effect and no matter what I did, I couldn't make them go away. If I calibrate using the corners, the center is fuzzy and if I concentrate on the center, the corders were fuzzy...

But that's not the worst problem I had with this monitor. The biggest and the worst problem was at anything higher than 60 mhz at any resolution, I couldn't fill the screen. There were black gap at the right and left side of the screen even though the horizontal size setting was set at 100%. Only when I lowered the refresh rate to 60, I was able to fix the problem.

After thinking hard about whether I should spend extra 100 or so for another brand, I decided to return it because I knew that I was going to use the monitor for at least a few years even if I change the computer. In fact, I knew that the monitor should be one component that I should get the best even if it is more expensive.

So I returned it with no regret and I am getting SONY lcd that is smaller (15") and three times more expensive. Call me crazy but I still think I made the right decision.

Very good price on an excellent device. I.D. box functions as promised and price was excellent with fast delivery service from Amazon.

Not the greatest caller ID unit.......2004-11-01

Takes 3 AAA batteries that in our experience run out too quick. Other units we've owned have lower battery drain. Also the LCD display has poor contrast. All in all, I'd buy another one that costs a few bucks more.

Same Name, Better Box.......2004-02-21

My thanks to everyone who's taken the time to write a review. Reading the reviews and the product manuals enabled me to choose a Caller ID Box that suits me well. Prospective buyers should note that GE's improved this product: The current version stores 99 entries rather than the 60 stored by the earlier model. Perhaps they've modified the reflective material as well: Propped at a handy angle, the three-line readout is sharp, clear and easy to read. I've noticed none of the hesitations reported by other reviewers. Also worth noting: GE includes the line cord you'll need to install the box. A small point perhaps, but not every manufacturer does.

Attached to a single-line cordless phone, the GE Caller ID box performs very well for me. It's bright, clear and reliable. I'm happy to recommend it.

caller id not there when phone in use.......2003-01-31

GE unit works ok if line is not in use. If you have a call in progress and a new call beeps, I expect to see at least the number of the new call, but no new information occurs. My wife insists that since it has three display lines, it should indicate the new caller, because we have a phone with three display lines which works that way. We have tossed out the packing box. Maybe we expected more, because of the three line display on our phone. Anyway it works good before the call is answered, and the price was ok.

Poor display quality, and a wiring bug.......2002-05-13

Whatever happened to the good old days, when caller ID boxes featured readable displays? I have a 10-year-old and a 12-year-old unit both of which are far easier to read than this one. The digits contrast poorly with the background, and the display is covered with a cheap, shiny material which reflects light. There are five adjustable contrast settings: bad, worse, awful, atrocious, and worst. The polarity of the feed-through is reversed, which means that an older push-tone phone cannot be plugged in through the box (you can't dial out). Newer phones, and rotary phones, should work OK. When the caller is UNKNOWN (unavailable, out-of-area) the words UNKNOWN NUMBER blink, but very slowly, in an annoying way that forces you to wait a second to see what's going on. This box, in common with most others, cannot be used with a 2-line phone plugged into it (not even the phone will work, let alone the caller ID) because the manufacturer was too cheap to include two extra wires in the feed-through. Another feature missing from this and other boxes is a way to delete all calls from a specific number simultaneously (this would be especially handy with UNKNOWN calls). Not a great product, GE, but you're not alone, I guess.
