Description:

This snazzy, compact 20-inch set uses Samsung's DynaFlat picture tube, which not only looks cool compared to a conventional, bulbous screen, but also provides a high-quality, high-contrast picture through the screen's ability to reduce reflected ambient light and its built-in velocity-scan modulation technology. This TV is made to sound as good as it looks, with 10 watts per channel audio power and flared, ported cabinet speakers built to handle high-frequency detail and relatively powerful bass. Whether you're into games or movies--or both--this is the one-piece compact monitor of choice.

Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

The TXN2036F's two-line digital comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). The unit offers an Invar shadow mask, too. A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow; each hole in the sheet corresponds to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing a brighter, clearer picture.

A component-video input grants optimum connection with a compatible DVD player, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. You can choose between a set of rear AV inputs and a set of side AV inputs for extra convenience when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console. A rear-panel fixed-level audio output and composite-video output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver for convenient audio/video switching. The set gives you stereo audio (with 3 watts per channel) from broadcast programming via Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals.

The 56-pound set is easy to move between, say, the study and the living room. It also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, an on timer, and a universal remote control. A front-panel headphone jack affords private listening.
