What's Christmas without snow, eh? And what's snow without a chubby snowman in the garden? And what's a snowman without Santa's sleigh accidentally toppling it over on a Christmas Eve parking mishap? Ho ho ho is Christmas! If you think meeting up to your teen's expectations is more difficult than taming a Bengal tigress, you're probably right. For who knows what's going on in the mind of the young buck? And you don't want him complaining on Christmas eve. ( "Oh mom, not this one again! You got me the same thing last year!") It's high time you started planning on getting the youngster something he's sure to like, atleast this year! If you've started to make a list of all possible options already, then make sure that the
Samsung LE19R86 19" LCD TV is in it.

This
LCD TV looks so good in a pristine glossy white with a slightly curved bottom edge that gives it an elegant touch. This 19 incher is not just good-looking, but efficient too. It has an unbelievable 3 HDMIs! We don't get to see many under
20" LCD TVs that come with 3 HDMIs, do we? So your son can plug in his game console or Blu-Ray Player and enjoy movies and games in HD! What is more, he also gets a perfect gaming environment by switching over to the 'Game mode'! The next best thing in connectivity is the D-sub port, which means one can connect a laptop to the Samsung LE19R86 and also use it as a PC monitor.
The LE19R86 is not good in connectivity alone, for it's pictures are much more vivid and seamless than many 19" LCD TVs of today. This is where the name Samsung makes its presence felt. Colours and contrast are of the perfect proportions making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Even scenes with a dark background are rendered pretty nicely, though you might catch a few grey areas here and there.
The TV has a 1440 x 900 pixel resolution and the quoted
contrast ratio of 2000:1 indeed brings forth a considerable improvement in the picture quality. Audio is average and escapes from being labelled 'piteous' by just a hairline! And yes, IDTV is a worthy addition indeed. Though a tad more expensive than other small screen LCD TVs in the market today, the Samsung LE19R86 is worth every extra penny spent on it.
