I purchased the Samsung 29"CTV CS29Z57 in Feb08 and it was a new model just introduced. I purchase cause my earlier 21" wsa samsung and I was happy with it. However this new model wsa disappointing overall. I am listing the Pros and Cons in comparision to other brands Plus: -Superb Looks-First sight my friends asked me whether it was LCD TV! -V.Slim dimension and needs less space for a 29" TV Unsatisfactory: -Poor quality of remote. The button controls and action test your patience.
The Samsung remotes that came in year 2000/01 were excellent. -Although there are many sound controls, overall you dont feel satisified with audio quality when watching a English movie. -The picture quality is nothing great to write about and is average. -There is a loud beep sound when you switch ON or OFF the TV. This is nuisance when others are asleep. Overall a average stuff
