Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this 27" TV with model number TXP2734X/XAA and S/N 38143CCY100373C from Circuit City on Mar 03, 2005 and two weeks ago it is officially dead. It can not simply be turned on. When I used the remote or directly press the power button on the TV, the LED light near "Timer" is flashing green, but the screen simply did not light up. There was not physical damage, thunder shock, electric spikes or anything like that because all our other electronic devices are working alright.
I called Samsung customer service and they told me it is out of warranty, so I am out of luck. Have anyone see a TV only last slightly more than 1 year? I have used my other old TV for 20 years now without any problem. Two of my friends purchased other 27" TV brands longer than I did at a much cheaper price and they are still enjoying it while I have a fancy looking piece of junk sitting at home?
I will try to go to the repair shop and see how much it is gonna cost to repair it. Anyway, I promise I will never buy any Samsung product in the rest of my and my wife's life.

Product Description:
Samsung's 27-inch TX-P2734 is a full-featured direct-view CRT TV with a DynaFlat antidistortion, antiglare dark-tint picture tube makes watching for high picture contrast and minimal reflection. The TX-P2734 has a 4:3 aspect ratio, good for viewing analog broadcast TV and pan-and-scan-formatted video at a resolution of 480i (interlaced). Four video presets optimize the picture for the type of program being watched with user-adjustable brightness, contrast, sharpness, color, and tint. Plus, screen-filling picture modes let you fit the image to your screen.
A 4H digital comb filter analyses multiple lines of picture information to minimize edge image artifacts and improve transition detail, producing a superior picture. The Invar shadow mask removes picture discoloration (doming) caused by heat and allows the tube to operate at a higher voltage, yielding brighter whites, higher contrast, and purer colors. Color temperature controls allow you to adjust white balance. The "Warm" setting reduces the color temperature and delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room. "Normal" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased. Get sharper edges and outlines with velocity scan modulation that controls the speed of transitions between the black and white portions of the signal.
Auto Kine Aging Bias automatically regulates the white balance to maintain consistent, optimal performance even after many years of use. A White Peak Limiter and Dynamic Black Level Expander further improve picture contrast. To get an even cleaner picture, the TX-P2734 has a digital video noise reduction system to remove digital artifacts from images.
The TX-P2734's speaker design uses side-mounted, front-firing speakers to deliver the most stereo sound reproduction available from a television's internal speaker system. Aside from the 7-watt-per-channel stereo speaker system, the set has MTS for receiving stereo sound and SAP for receiving a second audio track in another language. Auto volume leveling eliminates drastic volume spikes while changing channels or when channels go to a commercial break. The improved Turbo Sound loudness control boosts high and low audio frequencies, while sound enhancement modes create more realistic audio environments for movies, music, and speech. A simulated surround sound mode is also available.
A side S-video and set of composite inputs present a clean-looking front cabinet and make hooking up a game console or camcorder a snap. Two rear composite inputs, an S-video input, and a DVD component input make connecting your audio/visual equipment easy. Component-video inputs split the video signal into its base components--Y (the black and white part of the picture), Pr (red minus Y), and Pb (blue minus Y). The signal remains pure and unaffected by the TV's comb filter or NTSC decoder. The result is higher resolution and improved color purity. A fixed A/V output is on the rear of the set as well.
Many convenience features have been incorporated into the TX-P2734's design. A full-function remote control gives you access to the tri-lingual (English, Spanish, French) on-screen display, sleep timer, noise muting, and channel return as well as basics like channel changing, volume, and picture and audio adjustments. There is also a V-chip control system to easily limit the types of programs your children are watching and a Remote Surf feature that returns the TV to the original channel so other channels can be browsed during commercial breaks.
