Samsung TX-R3075WH 30-inch HDTV

Date Published: 10/26/07

The TX-R3075WH is a 30-inch Samsung TV with an integrated high-definition tuner, making it an ideal TV for viewing DVD, and its input pack will easily accommodate a DVD player and other components.

The silver cabinet has clean lines, with a flat picture tube, vertical stereo speakers, and a central power button below the screen adding a stylish air. The TX-R3075WH puts easy-access composite and S-video inputs out of sight along the left side of the front panel, and basic control buttons are similarly arranged on the right side.

A 4H digital comb filter minimizes edge artifacts, and edges are further enhanced by velocity scan modulation, which controls the transitions between blacks and whites. Film is adapted to the video screen using 3:2 pulldown correction to eliminate unevenness in fast action scenes.

The TX-R3075WH's 20-watt stereo audio system can be set to a choice of five presets optimized for movies, music, speech, standard content, or a custom setting. Volume can be automatically maintained so different channels and programs play at a consistent level. Other convenience features include channel labeling, a variable sleep timer, memory for input settings that is maintained even during power outages, and a surf timer that returns the TV to a preset channel after a predetermined period of flipping.

The rear panel is home to an HDMI digital-to-digital audio and video interface, a pair of auto-sensing component video inputs, an S-video input, three composite inputs, two RF inputs, and a fixed composite video output. The universal remote control has a comfortable layout, with all the buttons necessary for managing additional components such as a DVD player and VCR.

The lively picture is presented in 480p, 720p, or 1,080i. Analog signals are automatically up-converted on the Samsung TX-R3075WH to create rich, detailed images, with lifelike colors that can be set to one of five temperature settings.
