Strengths: White color option, 4000:1 contrast ratio, two HDMI inputs

Weaknesses: Price is high when compared to its 23'' model.

Summary: The initial consideration of this television was purely esthetic. My wife demanded white due to the color scheme of the room. Fortunately, the television delivers a crisp color-saturated picture. When watching sporting events, high speeds remain extremely clear. The hidden bottom speakers produce a nice balance of deep bass and clean treble. I initially purchased the 19'' model but upgraded for the HDMI inputs. For its screen size, I believe that the Samsung LN-S2651D/LN-S2652D is the best television on the consumer market.

Strengths: Great picture (contrast ratio), 2 HDMI inputs

Weaknesses: n/a

Summary: I finally replaced my old tube TV with this my first LCD TV. I love the picture quality, and the convenient 2 HDMI inputs. I do not agree with other reviewers about the remote, as I find it user friendly and easy to use. The TV is also easy to use. Very crisp picture. No dead pixels. I do not like SAMSUNG phones, but their tv's are great. I also think a 26" or 27" tv is big enough for a great picture, but not so small that it is no fun for watching movies. This is an ideal size for those that live in an apartment, not too small and not too overwhelmingly big.

Strengths: Outstanding picture quality, ease of setup and use, and many capabilities for future uses. The price was outstanding by going through Price Grabber.com.

Weaknesses: Base doesn't swivel. Not a big deal since we rarely would have a need to swivel the unit.

Summary: After having read other reviews for this product and personally checking it out at a local electronic store there was no doubt in my mind that this was what I was looking for. A big selling feature was the numerous capabilities that it was already set up for.

Strengths: This TV has an amazingly slick design. It is gorgeous. And you can determine all of that before you even turn it on! Once you turn it on it simply blows you away! 4000:1 contrastratio speaks for itsel

Weaknesses: Only 1 composite input. That is very unfortunate. I wish they had one extra one on the side. Two HDMI is nice though. This tv is very future-ready. The remote could have had a more slick design though

Summary: This TV is superb. It is the best investment i have ever made. my Xbox360 looks absolutely fantastic on it. Streaming movies from XBMC (Xbox1) to this TV makes what I watch an entirely new experience. The black on this TV is incredible. The tv looks gorgeous on my wall. Its so small that you don't even need to mount it! The stand is a great addition and shows Samsung really cares about costumers. The only problem is the remote and the lack of more composite inputs. But what can you do. You cannot have everything! HD on this tv looks splendid. And don't get turned off by the fact that it only goes as high as 1080i. If you actually do your research, 1080p isn't necessarily the greatest thing ever... at least not for the 5 to 7 years. By then it will be time to get a new TV anyway :) I love this TV and I hope everyone takes a look at it. Don't forget that 4000:1 contrast ratio! next closest you can find is 3000:1 in this size, and its also a samsung :) Samsung = number 1 in my book. Next closest after samsung is 1600:1 in these sizes and thats just pathetic! :)

Strengths: Clear picture; High contrast; Light weight; Stylish.

Weaknesses: Slow response to the remote controller sometimes.

Summary: This is a great LCD TV. It is so bright that it shows clearly under daylight in our bright living room. It has high contrast and high resolution. The picture quality of SD programs is quite acceptable. It is very light weighted and stylish. The viewing angle is very wide. The VGA input is convenient to connect a computer. The sound quality is acceptable, but an external audio system is needed to get great sound quality.

Strengths: Sharp Picture-Easy Setup-2 HDMI Inputs- Slimmest Of Them All

Weaknesses: Stand Doesn't Swivel-Cheap Remote

Summary: After several months of research and numerous trips to the Electronics stores, I chose the Samsung LN-S2651D. It also has a sister model, the Samsung LN-S2652D, that one is in white. I narrowed it down to three sets based on picture quality, those being the Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic. For my personal preference, I would have liked the silver case ( Sony & Panasonic) rather than the black Samsung, but that's just me. Please note, Pricegrabber has the wrong weight in the specifications for this TV, it's listed as 29.3 lbs , the correct weight is 22.3 lbs. Very easy to move if needed. The Positives Setup was easy and painless and was up and running in short order. I have read some people complaining about a lapse in time in channel changes, I believe this is inherent to all LCD's, this being my third, my other two are Sony's (50" & 42") and they too lag a bit. The picture quality, in my opinion, is comparable to the Sony model, however, for less money. The blacks are outstanding and not washed out as on some other competitors sets. HD signals are superb and lifelike and you will not be disappointed. Having Two HDMI inputs is a huge advantage, you can use one for a DVD player that has HDMI output, use the other for your digital cable box or satellite receiver. The Negatives As noted I would have preferred it in silver, shows less dust and fingerprints if handled. The remote is also black, once again I would prefer in silver since I find the silver ones far easier to read at my maturing age. The remote is far too long for my liking, it's 9 1/4", I find myself sliding the thing up and down my hands to access specific features. Another minor annoyance I found was that when you change channels, the new channel appears, then a second or so later the audio displays the Stereo and SAP format if that channel has it. I really never use SAP so I don't care if that channel is broadcasting in it, or do I need to know if it's in stereo. As hard as I tried, I have not been able to find out how to turn it off. I do think this is one of the best choices when buying an LCD TV in the 26" size. Loads of features and inputs as well as picture quality ranking equal to the higher priced Sony. I think you will not be disappointed if you chose to buy this TV.

Strengths: This is an exceptional product. Easy setup, simple access plugs, lightweight, GREAT PICTURE and GREAT DESIGN. And you can plug an IPOD or a PC into its terminals. Impressive technology.

Weaknesses: The remote has too many buttons on it. The setup is simple but you wouldn't know it by reading the book and pamphlets...too much detail.

Summary: I've never seen a picture as sharp and vivid as this. The clarity on its 26" makes it seem more than its size. The real strength is that the picture has great colors and sharpness. In terms of value, best thing I've seen. Quite happy with this product. Impressive technology and plug in configuration options. A perfect bedroom TV.

Strengths: Excellent resolution and light weight

Weaknesses: Complicated manual about connection to other electronics (DVD or VCR) and slow response to channel change

Summary: I am so pleased to buy LN-S2651 26" LCD TV. It provides bright images with a great contrast to make us to watch TV dramas and movies comfortably. It seems to me that it has most of what we want from TV. However, some instructions of the manual seems to be complex. For example, I followed the manual to use DVD mode after connecting to DVD/VCR combo player. But it doesn't work. Now, we can use the combo player with the LCD TV by trial-error (selecting VCR in AV setting). It may be due to my misunderstanding. And When I change the channel, the response is so low, the display instantly become dark, and then a new channel comes up. So far, except for two things above, everything is OK to me.

Strengths: Sharp and great cabinet and the color outstanding.

Weaknesses: Remote with too smaller buttons. Runs to hot

Summary: The quality appears to be excellent, very good price and outstanding picture quality with lots of options: it is pleasure to watch. Problem not related to the TV is the OTA HD broadcasting, it appears that everyone was their own method, so even though the TV has a 16:9 screen size, some channels have the bars on the left-right, some others have top-bottom very annoying, even if you set the TV to display at 16:9 the channel overrides your selection. The only channel that looks terrific at least in the morning shows is NBC HD, the screen is great, with not stupid zoom distortions, everybody else channels looks chopped or deform or with the bars (Burn-in anyone). I am not sure if that will be better with in time but appears to me, that everybody is doing their own think. Unless you need a new TV don?t rush to get this so called HD TV sets, the Sets are terrific but the broadcasting is not here yet.

Strengths: great picture quality, very stylish, great sound

Weaknesses: pic n pic is only w/ 2nd component, remote control does not light up at night, no cable card slot in back, must use cable box

Summary: The samsung is an excellent product. The picture quality is one of the best and you can not differentiate from even a SONY. The commands are easy to figure out and the remote control is easy to use. With built in HD, the quality is excellent and you don't have to pay the same as a SONY, but get just as good a picture. One dissapointment is the sound equalizer from channel to channel. Everyone hates how the sound changes when a program goes to commercial. I thought that samsung had that figured out, but they don't. They only equalize the sound when you change channels not when you stay on the same channel. Sony offers the same channel sound equalizer. Also it would be nice if the inputs were on the front of the TV instead of the back. With all that being said however, Samsung is significantly less expensive than Sony, Panasonic or Sharp and it delivers a fantastic picture. The Korean technology is among the best in Asia and I highly recommend this TV.
