Okay for a small HDTV display,

This review is from: Samsung T27A300 27" Class LED HDTV Monitor (Electronics)
Bought this from Costco to evaluate. The other review appears to be correct, there is no HDMI audio return so that you cannot use this for your ATSC tuner and have the TV sound played through a stereo. That scuttles this for me (as a primary home theater TV).
Other than that, this monitor has a crisp, vibrant look. Pixar's UP, and the BD release of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY looked great on this. Digital TV performance was okay with an external antenna. Changing the display aspect took several steps, which is annoying as one of our local PBS stations insists on broadcasting in a letterboxed 4:3 widescreen format, not conventional 16:9. But this monitor supports not only 1080p, but 24p which is an advanced protocol for Blu-Ray movies to display at the film's correct original frame-rate. I'll be looking for this in my next TV purchase.
The stand and viewing angle is fixed, and this TV has a 2-5° tilt forward and down ... another annoyance that precludes me keeping it.

1. Default sound inferior quality and inadequate volume. Tweaking the settings can improve it.
2. No Audio out, because it is a monitor
3. Good picture. Many different settings available
4. Screen tends to tip slightly forward
5. In spite of problems, we will keep it.

Very Good Monitor / TV,
April 10, 2012 Alex (TN: LongStrider) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung T27A300 27" Class LED HDTV Monitor (Electronics)
I purchased the Samsung T27A300 about 2 weeks ago and am very satisfied with my purchase. I bought it refurbished and on sale at $206. The monitor itself is very crisp, very bright, and big. I read a lot of reviews about the lack of an audio out and the on-board speakers being terrible, which are both true. The on board speakers aren't as bad as everyone is making them out to be, but the lack of an audio out truly disappoints me, it is not a deal breaker though. Since I mainly use it with my computer its not a bug deal. I compared it to apples 24" LED monitor and the picture wasn't far off, being around $400 cheaper with multiple inputs, it was great. I was a little hesitant at first since I had a 22" Tv/Monitor from samsung and it was absolute garbage, but this monitor is very nice. The tilt can go far back and a little to the front (5* back and 1* front)
In short: Great monitor/TV with a great picture. Perfect size for a college dorm or on a desk.
