| Offering an unparalleled sleek design in a gloss black finish, and a quality 720p LCD panel available, Samsung's 2007 model LNT2353H 23-inch flat-panel LCD HDTV is an excellent choice for a kitchen, or small bedroom TV. Compared to the previous year's model this one offers an updated cosmetic design, a better contrast ratio at 5000:1, hidden speakers, side A/V inputs, and 2 HDMI connections. The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience. - Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Connections: - HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 2
- R/F in 1

 Not necessarily a good idea to wait. |

Not that the numbers matter, but the contrast ratio on this one is 4000 to 1, not 5000 to 1 as reported at one point in Amazon's description. The main reason to consider this one ahead of the somewhat less expensive 23" 42H model, is style. The speakers are in the bottom rather than on the sides, allowing Samsung to trim the width by a few inches as well as lighten the weight by a few pounds. In fact, the thinner picture frame of the 23" 53H gives the image the illusion of being almost the same size as the 26" 42H, which uses side-firing speakers and a wider surrounding frame.
Since the bedroom is fairly small and on the top floor, the 53H 23" was the solution in my case. I wish I had trusted my initial instinct because as I was watching the computer screen, Amazon increased the price of this model by ten bucks. Compared to my stylish and highly praised Sony MFM-HT 20" (8.7 stars from C-Net) that appeared a year ago, then inexplicably disappeared from the U.S. market within several months, the Samsung has a "deeper" picture and fuller-frequencied sound. But the Sony's picture is brighter. You can tweak the brightness, of course, but it's a shame Samsung took such a dim view of things when making the factory settings.
One caveat: If you're replacing a 20" tube set and plan to view most transmitted television signals in accurately proportioned 4:3 ratio, you may sense that the image of the 23" LCD is smaller than the old 20" set. I've grown accustomed to viewing everything in 16:9, which fills the wide screen but at the cost of undeniable distortion. If you're especially fastidious about a balanced, symmetrical image, it may make sense to opt for the next bigger size. |
Awesome TV for my Bedroom..

I have a 42" 1080p Sharp Aquos in my living above my fireplace and love it. Sharp doesn't make a 23" (that I know of) so I decided to try Samsung as I know it's also a top tier brand.
We just purchaed all new bedroom furniture, drapes, duvet cover etc and the 27" Silver Sharp CRT TV we had would just would look out of place. It's also WAY too bulky and takes away from the room.
This TV looks great...piano finish of Samsung is awesome. We have it on the base and on top of a five drawer dresser. It fits perfectly and is just the right size for our room and we can see clearly from anywhere in the room. The room is 17 x 15 and the next one up, 26", would just be TOO big and would stand out too much. After all, it's a BEDroom and not a TVroom. The picture quality of the TV is also outstanding. It's 720p and has HDMI (keep its free of ugly wires). Those that don't know may say 'why not 1080p', but on a TV that's 23" it doesn't really make a difference. The picture is wonderful either way.
It's a great price, looks good on the outside and has the technology to back it up on the inside. It also has a 'Gamer Mode' which allows for faster response time. I haven't tried it yet as I don't think the wife wants me moving my XBOX 360 Elite to the bedroom!! |
Great buy

| Browsed a lot before settling on this model which Amazon had at a great price. Picture is excellent which we were expecting but the audio was the real surprise. Transforms one's television experience. Instructions weren't great ie it took an evening of frustration before all elements were connected properly ie cable box and dvr and wireless headphones. |
Excellent TV with Small Quirks

Let me start off by saying that this is a beautiful television set. The inputs and features outperform any other 32" set on the market with 3 HDMI, 2 component and a DVI port, all of which are HDCP compliant and display in all their 1080p glory. HD-DVDs and XBox 360 games look incredible. There is no perceivable lag for games when using the side inputs with "Vyper Mode." Even standard-def TV looks good if you set it not to stretch the picture out. I also use it as a computer monitor and it looks incredible. One huge advantage of this TV is the ability to have separate AV Modes for each input. So you can have a custom profile for each input, or it will remember that your DVD player uses the "Movie" mode and your XBox uses the "Game" mode.
This TV does have a few drawbacks though, especially as a computer monitor. The TV constantly tries to adjust the color depending whats on the screen, even on "PC" or "User" AV Mode (those modes are supposed to disable that "feature"). For games and movies this isn't noticeable though.
Despite the color adjusting "feature" this is one of the best TVs I have ever seen. I highly recommend it, especially if using it for a computer monitor isn't a major requirement. |
Gorgeous display at a very reasonable price

| I had originally planned to get a smaller LCD HDTV to stay under my spending cap. However, the price of this 23" screen on Amazon was less than an inferior 19" at the store. It is the perfect size for my exercise room. (The 19" would have been too small.) The resolution and contrast are excellent, the controls easy and the display is amazing. Try watching CSI:Miami on this thing and you'll think you can touch the palm trees. |
