The TX-R1635 is a 16-inch TV from Samsung that will provide compact entertainment at an affordable price.

The flat picture tube of the TX-R1635 sits within an attractive silver cabinet, with stereo speakers on either side of the screen, control buttons on the right side, and an audio/video input on the left. The screen has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio, but a zoom screen-filling mode is available for use with wide-format DVD.

A digital comb filter reduces dot crawl and rainbow effects, and the color can be adjusted to user preferences via the color temperature control menu. The multitrack stereo speakers can be configured to maintain a steady level of audio, so commercials and programs have the same volume. Producing 5 watts of audio output, the stereo system can be adjusted using five presets optimized for movies, music, speech, standard content, and a user-defined custom setting.

A sleep timer is one of the useful features on this model, along with channel labeling, parental V-chip controls, and a choice of four video modes. In addition to the side input, the rear panel contains a second audio/video input, an RF input, and a set of component video inputs. The remote control has a button that makes it easy to return to the original channel after surfing for a preset time.

If you are looking for an attractive, smaller TV for the den or kitchen and don't want to spend much money, look at the Samsung TX-R1635.
