The Samsung LN19B361 also features two 3W bottom-firing speakers and SRS TruSurround HD for realistic surround sound from just two speakers. The unit has a built-in digital tuner, is Energy STAR compliant, and features a game mode which speeds processing time and gives you enhanced blacks, sharper images and improved sound. The fast 8 ms response time virtually eliminates blurring and provides smooth motion action scenes.
FeaturesThe LN19B361 has most all of the features you need in a 19" HDTV. Connectivity is good, with support for digital as well as legacy devices. The 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio is quite respectable for a set in this price range, as is the 8ms response time. In fact the feature set is as good as most of the competition at this price. TruSurround processing and game mode are added bonuses, not found on all the competition. And the Wide Color Enhancer 2 provides truer, brighter blue and green shaded areas that are not washed out like on some LCD TVs. About the only thing to complain about is that a few more input combinations would have been nice. PerformanceThe LN19B361 delivers more than acceptable performance for a set in its price range. It produces crisp, clear images under most any lighting conditions, and the TruSurround system produces realistic surround-like sound. The input options are adequate for most situations, and the LN19B361 makes an ideal bedroom, office or kitchen set. The built-in digital tuner works with broadcast or cable/satellite signals equally well, and the 8ms response time ensures that there is no blurring is fast action scenes. SummaryIf you're in the market for a bedroom or office HDTV, or one for that smaller living room, the Samsung LN19B361 makes a good choice. It's comparably priced to most of the competition, and has most of the features you're likely to need for these purposes. It does provide some legacy support, but more input combinations would make for a much more versatile set for the smaller living room category. Pros
