Samsung TX-R2678WH 26-inch HDTV

Date Published: 10/26/07

Samsung's TX-R2678WH is a 26-inch widescreen TV with a built-in HDTV tuner, giving it a significant functional advantage over other sets in this size and price range.

The silver TX-R2678WH has control buttons located on the front panel, while a small door on the side hides easy-access inputs. The flat picture tube can display high-definition programming when paired with compatible cable or satellite service or an over-the-air HD antenna, all without the need for an external HD receiver.

The fine-pixel screen provides a sharp, lively picture with rich colors and true-to-life images. A 4H digital comb filter eliminates rainbow effects and dot crawl, and edge details are enhanced through velocity scan modulation. Film content is adapted using 3:2 pulldown conversion. The internal 20-watt stereo system is equipped with an equalizer that makes it easy to fine-tune the sound, and five audio presets make changing the audio characteristics a snap.

A host of convenience features enhance the TX-R2678WH, including a digital signal-strength meter to help in setting up an antenna for optimal reception of digital channels, a choice of five screen modes for viewing wide-format or standard content, a rapid surf button to automatically return to a channel after an interval of as much as 5 minutes, on/off and sleep timers, and an electronic program guide for selecting upcoming shows.

The TX-R2678WH is well equipped to interact with digital and analog components, as it has one HDMI input, two HD component video inputs, two S-video inputs (one on the side), four composite video inputs (one side), two RF inputs, and a fixed monitor output. The universal remote control is a large silver model that is ready to work with an associated DVD player, VCR, and other components.
