Just figured out how to change the caption size in the tv app. It's easy:1. Play your show2. Pause the show3. The pause, ff, rwd menu will pop up4. The options fir cc are at the bottom right of that menu. 5. Scroll to it and select it6. Make your changesYou're welcome.

Rufus, Just bought this and love it, but, yes, the text generated from using CC onscreen button is very small. May be a way to get captions from the program source (such as streamed PBS or DVDs) or to increase size of the "default" CC text. Will get back to you if I find a way.Ok I'm back and and the text size isn't as small as I thought. It seems to measure 3/8", which works fine for me at 7 feet away. I think 3/8" is the suggested minimum size for viewing up to about 10 feet away for captioning. There is some variation in fonts, but it mostly seems to be uppercase sans serif something like Tahoma, if that means anything to you. You can also turn on subtitles to DVDs. Hope this helps.

Ok, now I've had this for a while and and have figured out the not always intuitive adjustments- which include caption text font style, size, color, background color and more. But first you have to go to digital captions and set it to manual. Default is auto, which grays out captions, making it seem like there is no way to adjust it. Only took me six months to figure it out.

Jedi Master: I have the same concern about one of my Samsung TVs. The screen reads 1920x1080i, 60Hz. I'm aware that in the US, all electricity is at 60Hz, so I wonder why Samsung would have made this spec so prominent on the display, when instead it could have put the refresh rate instead. Any ideas?

Amazon sent an info request and I looked at the monitor back and answered. Never gave it a thought. Tried to help. Forgot I returned that Samsung unit like yours with its 16/9 screen ratio. (to wide for height ) I bought Dell 16/10 ratio and love it. (U2412M) No negatives on the Samsung because I never even set it up. One look and back it went. Now, I get two pages almost 8 1/2 by 11 side by side and with 16/10 I like it better for photo work. The screen also rotates vertical.

No it looks really nice. My best friend ran a 27" for a few years and I finally decided to upgrade my 24" which I had for 6 years. The 27" has a really nice picture, have to remember this is the same resolution on most (about 95%) of screens from 22" to 83".Don't let that keep you from buying this monitor.Very nice display for the price.I setup new 24" displays at work all the time that are not as good as this that cost more.

I was reading, and antoher thing, its that 69 has 1.3 HDMI, which 71 seems doesnt have it. I checked Samsung site, and if you do a comparisson, says the same: 69 with 1.3HDMI, while 71 its not. BUT, if any one has the 71 please confirm this with the factory books that came with the TV.

I'm running at 1920x1080. It has a full HD screen. The viewing angles are great as well.

According to the manual, page 52, the photos show that only the DVI and DisplayPort inputs allow for an Optimal Mode 2650 x 1440 resolution. The HDMI photo shows an Optimal Mode of 1920 x 1080. That seems to jibe with what I've read elsewhere. You can download the manual from Samsung's site (under Support). I'm using the DVI input at the full 2560 x 1440. Hope this helps!

It's an HD TV, but not the best resolution. My guess is the the salesperson was probably refering to the display resolution of this model - 1024 x 768. They are probably trying to sell you a more expensive set with better specs.

Your computer's resolution is only limited by the video card and the current monitor. 1920 x 1080 is really just a standard HDTV resolution (16:9) but most all widescreen *computer* (monitor) resolutions are 16:10, so 1920 x 1200 is perfectly normal and since you already have a 1920 wide res to start with, the option to expand to 1920 x 1200 *should* show up as soon as the new monitor is connected and detected by the computer. If it does not, then you might indeed have to upgrade your video card IF you really want to use the max res. For example, my original resolution was 1024 x 768 (4:3) on my previous monitor. With the T260HD, I was able to change to 1600 x 1200 (also 4:3) which, on the T260HD, does have "black bars" on the side. I suspect it is simply because my video card is outdated that I cannot get the max res and so I should get one that definitely has widescreen capabilities, but it has not been that important lately so I've just not done it yet. I hope that helps! XD PS. Also, when you have the max res of a 16:10 screen, ie 1920 x 1200, you will always have "black bars" on the top and bottom of proper 1080 (or any 16:9) footage when displayed correctly. That can bother some ppl, so it depends on what you want to use the monitor for mainly, ie if you plan to watch a lot of shows on it or just for computer stuff. Altho of course, depending on your media player (on the comp) or when you are watching tv, you will also have the options to crop or zoom the picture which can fill the screen if you don't mind losing the edges as long as you can escape the "black bars". Just some food for thought ;P

The size of the monitor is really irrelevant. It is the resolution of the monitor and video card that will determine how much of the page is displayed. Be aware that this monitor DOES NOT have a VESA mount. You will need to either look for monitors without stands (HP makes several that we use regularly of document display) Samsung make some that include rotatable stand. In ether case as long as the monitor has a VESA mount (check the specification, if it isn't listed it doesn't have one) or a rotatable stand.

hi, i have a similar size room, tried 26, 32 , and 37 inch. 32 is best. one thing not talked about often is, there's also a minimum viewing distance for these tvs, esp. 720p. any closer, you see the pixels, any noise in the image, etc. with a hq tv like samsung, sony, sharp, my experiments indicate for a 32" around 5 feet is about as close as i'd want to go. anything else, i'd have to go to 1080p (the sharp 32" aquos 1080p model is great up to 3 feet, but more $$). btw, right now you can pick up a samsung LN-T3242H at circuit city for $720 if you're a AAA member (you need to go to www.aaa.com/circuitcity to get a coupon code). this model is a level down from the 3253H but i picked one up yesterday and so far it seems pretty good to me. you can read about both models on amazon. good luck.

T., monitor height is 11.25" tall (image to image). It's a little wider and shorter than the average 27" monitor. Make sure you're going to like the format.

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!

The only reason I can see is that Samsung discontinued this t.v, and with the overall design is not as space efficient as any of Samsungs other dlp televisions. I have this one and also a 720p set by samsung which I bought in 10-2006. Just to let you know, Samsung also has on sale a 50" DLP 720p set for $899. I bought this one, and gave the 720p set to my parents, and to be honest with you I didnt notice a difference at all. If youre just breaking into the HD world, Id suggest getting one of the HLT models from samsung that is on sale now on amazon. You wont notice a difference, save yourself hundreds, and will less likely have problems with the set, as I and many others have with this particular model.

I purchased Samsung 58" plasma PNC58C7000 from amazon website. The seller: Beach Camera. I was busy with work and did not get to open the box until 10 days later. I was horrified to find the TV screen Damaged. Beach Camera refusing to return the TV.Any suggestions? I am stuck w a $ 2200 TV. ThanksSamsung PN58C7000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black)

I believe you're correct; Amazon has confused Samsung's CMR rate (240) with the refresh rate (120 Hz). This TV listed on every other site I've found is listed as 120 Hz. Also, on Amazon if you click through the size choices, all the other sizes of this model are listed as 120 Hz. Surprised more people haven't noticed/mentioned this.
