Samsung LN37C530 1080p 60 Hz 37-Inch LCD HDTV Black
Performance.
The picture on this Samsung LN37C530 is great.
Without HD cable this TV upscales very well. You will get a good standard definition picture on this TV.
Gaming.
PS3 looks absolutely amazing.
Inputs.
Very happy with the number of ports (switching cables all the time is no fun). The side USB port is very handy. It supports a surprising number of file formats! It is not quite VLC, yet very good. An external HDD is connected on the side for all our media. It’s like a built in media center!
Issues.
The TV worked great the first night. The next day, after unplugging it, I wanted to put it on the stand. However, the TV did not come back on! I unhooked all the cables and reattached them… still nothing. Samsung couldn’t help since there was no power. After letting it sit all afternoon, I tried one last time and it worked!
With the TV working, it started making a buzzing sound. After speaking with Samsung, they sent a tech to look at it. It looks like the panel will need to be replaced.
It was very easy to deal with Samsung and the tech was great. The buzzing is bad but I will just have to wait until the parts arrive.
Other Features.
The mediabridge cables I ordered were easy to set up. The Samsung LN37C530 manual suggests a picture size setting of 16:9.
