Product Description
Go wide, view more picture, fill the screen, and see progressive scan DVDs or HDTV as the director intended. The Samsung TXN3098WHF Neo Slim-Width Design HDTV Monitor gives you more picture with less cabinet (approximately 2 or more inches less width than typical 30" widescreen or 32" 4: 3 HDTV Monitors). Picture performance is unmatched with enhancements like the exclusive Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe), an 8-bit 20 MHz 3D Y/C comb filter, a high focus fine pitch DynaFlat HD flat picture tube, and 3: 2 Pull Down film to video frame rate correction. See the difference - an optional Samsung HDTV receiver/decoder can make to the clarity and resolution. A full set of connections includes DVI-HDTV and 2 sets of auto sensing wideband component inputs. Even regular TV looks better because all analog signals are converted to digital, processed, and presented in the better flicker-free progressive scan. Features like 2 NTSC tuner split/picture-in-picture, an easy navigation translucent on-screen display, and a full function universal remote make watching TV fun and uncomplicated. The Neo Slim-Width Design hides the subwoofer in the back, uses mid and high frequency built-in satellite speakers in the front on the bottom, and delivers 45 watts of great sound with a sleeker slimmer design.
Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's stylish, 32-inch TXN3098 DynaFlat high-definition digital TV monitor offers full 1080i input capability for use with a DTV set-top box or a progressive-scan DVD player. The set uses a 4:3-aspect ratio DynaFlat HD screen with an antidistortion/antiglare picture tube. Its Pro Chip Plus NTSC-to-480-progressive-scan system converts all incoming analog sources (like VCR, cable, or nonprogressive DVD) to a 480p display, eliminating conventional TV scan lines for a "flicker-free" picture.

An especially attractive feature of this feature-loaded TV is its "neo slim-width" design, which conserves space while delivering high-quality video and audio. A separate enclosure houses a 25-watt-powered subwoofer in the back of the set, eliminating the need for bulky side speakers. The mid- and high-frequency speakers (10 watts each) reside in the front panel, optimally positioned beneath the screen.

Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing) converts standard analog broadcast TV signals to digital and compensates for varying signal strengths, while the set's 8-bit, 20 MHz 3D Y/C comb filter removes blurred edges between colors and reduces dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

The TXN3098 also offers 3:2 pull down. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pull down digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Samsung's DNIe Video Enhancer (or Digital Natural Image engine) enhances all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve low-quality video sources.

Other features include two-tuner split-screen picture-in-picture, BBE High-Definition Sound (improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages), V-Chip parental controls, and plug-and-play setup, which uses automation and a simple menu to select the source (broadcast or cable), set the clock, and map the active channels.

Inputs consist of a DVI-HDTV input for direct digital connection with a DTV receiver, dual high-definition DVD/DTV component-video inputs, an RF input (for an older VCR or cable box), and three rear and one set of side-panel audio/video inputs (including one S-video input) to accommodate a camcorder, game console, or other sources. The set comes with a universal remote control.

Should have a rating in negative numbers!.......2007-02-01

The product I received did not work and was missing parts. It was supposed to draw its power from the laptop and did not. Because it was not drawing power from the laptop, there was no way of charging the unit's battery since no AC power cord was included. Item would not power on and wouldn't even open. I purchased the item through Amazon from a company called Computer Geeks. The experience with Computer Geeks was deplorable! Their customer service is inept and poorly trained... I had to make at least 11 long distance phone calls in order to arrange for a return and refund. Most of their reps speak English very poorly and gave conflicting information. Finally, 3 days later I was able to return the item via FedEx with the shipping label that was sent to me by email (that took 2 days to get) and then I waited over a week to get my money refunded. When all was said and done, I was completely frustrated and will never do business with Computer Geeks again. Once the refund was issued, I was then contacted via email by Computer Geeks pleading with me to change my negative feedback left for them regarding their faulty product and poor customer service. They're apparently unaware that feedback cannot be altered after it has been submitted to Amazon. True, they did follow through in the return/refund process, but it should not have taken so much bother and expense on my part to get it pushed through. They then reported that the item I returned as faulty actually worked! HOW? How does an item with a dead battery and no power cord function properly?
BUYERS BEWARE THIS SELLER! Your best bet is to deal with Targus directly and not through Computer Geeks.
