I ordered this TV on Thanksgiving night 2008 from OfficeMax. I had it sent to my dorm in Berkeley. This TV totally does its job. It acts as a great second monitor and as a great TV. The local HD channels look great on this thing (when I have my antenna properly adjusted). I also use it to play my Wii games. Using component cables, this TV excellently converts the 480p video output from my Wii to match the 1080p resolution of the screen, the video does not feel laggy or grainy. Also it remembers whether you prefer 4:3 or 16:9 for you SD TV viewing, so you don’t have to keep resetting your preference each time you start it up like on lower-quality TVs
(side note: I don’t know how anyone can stand to watch SDTV stretched to 16:9 when it is meant to be 4:3, it makes everyone look short and fat)
The only con I can see with this TV is that it lacks composite and S-Video inputs. The DVI, VGA, and 2 HDMI inputs are great, but that lack of a second component input or any composite inputs makes it difficult to use multiple non-HD devices on it.
I strongly recommend this TV.

I installed this TV behind the sink in my kitchen. I thought maybe I could watch the news while I washed the dishes. I now have a tall stool in my kitchen and watch TV way too much. This is simply one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen, and I’m a Photographer. This is bargain for the money. The sound is good, it would be nice if the sound amp was a little bigger. But if it was, then I would never leave the kitchen. “Perfect” for the job and place is an under statement. Makes me want to have two kitchens, LOL. Hmm, maybe the bathroom. Then I would be Fat and Clean. BTW 24″ would have been to tall to fit under the cabinets.

If you are going to use this as a monitor with a computer using an HDMI output, go to “Menu” “Input” then drop down to “Edit Name” and select that. Then choose “HDMI1″ and scroll down and select “PC.” This will correct the display for the PC text. Once I figured this out, I was very happy with my purchase. Beautiful picture!

I picked up this set from a local retailer and then returned and ordered from Amazon because the price was $100 less! We are using the 2333HD as a bedroom TV set, not connected to a computer at all… decided to go with this model because (1) it was better-priced than Samsung’s 22″ TVs, (2) it was in stock and Samsung’s 22″ TVs are hard to find, (3) the feature set was better–Samsung’s 22″ TVs are not 1080p, and (4) it matched the room better because the walls are blue and this set has a blue glow to it (which can be turned off, unlike the red “Touch of Color” on the 22″ TVs). The nice little SURPRISES we got with this deal were (1) a 6′ HDMI cable in the box and (2) a great little TV with Optical Audio Out and other expandability features that I didn’t expect. For the price, this TV is great, picture is excellent with several settings to tweak and some presets as well, decent audio that wouldn’t win any awards but certainly works well for watching the news in the morning and watching a movie while we were unpacking boxes (we just moved). Some reviews have claimed “tinny” audio… don’t forget that audio and picture are also dependent on the broadcast!! That being said, don’t expect little speakers to give you beautiful, rich surround sound–that’s obvious! 10,000:1 contrast ratio has seemed adequate, I have not seen evident pixellation yet… and the level of motion blur did not distract me while watching an HD broadcast of college football or Air Force One (an action movie). Air Force One DID show some dark-light pixellation but I think that was the broadcast–fast-moving commercials during the movie were crystal-clear in HD (I use Cablevision’s HD broadcast, which is only 720p). I highly recommend this item for a bedroom or college dorm room.

The Samsung 2333HD 23in LCD TV HDTV 1080p is simply the best overall Full HDTV on the market for the price. I picked this TV up at Staples for only $249.00. It is full HD which means that all of the major Network news and sports programs completely fill up the screen in high definition at 1920 x 1080 pixels. It is simply an amazing picture for this price. The added bonus is that it can hook up to your pc to extend or mirror your screen. I have a laptop pc and I use the 2333HD as an extension of my desktop which is 1600 x 1200. It is real nice to have that much desktop space when working with multiple documents and programs. The back of the TV has component color inputs for a DVD player as well as HDMI and DVI inputs for other video components. Samsung really rules this end of the market. I only wish they had kept the picture in picture that they had in the 20″ MP unit in 2005. They discontinue models frequently and it is sad that some units do not survive the market because of competition of the demands of consumers.
