Samsung LN46A950 46″ 1080p LCD HDTV with 120Hz refresh rate and LED backlighting 46″ widescreen HDTV (16:9 aspect ratio) * Touch of Color high-gloss finish * built-in digital (ATSC) and analog (NTSC) tuners for over-the-air TV broadcasts (antenna required) * built-in QAM cable TV tuner receives unscrambled programs without a set-top box (cable service required) * Ultra Clear LCD panel (1920 x 1080 pixels) *
Customer Review: Great LCD TV
This TV replaces a rear-projection 55 inch Mitsubishi. That TV was bleeding edge at the time, but now its firewire, separate HD input, and lack of 1080p have already made it near obsolete. This new TV operates with its features all streamlined. All channels are on the same input (if you didn’t have an older HDTV then this won’t mean much).

This unit contains one four-inch speaker for clear sound, or an earphone jack for private listening. The built-in carrying handle means easy portability and this device operates on batteries or AC for further convenience. The ICF-36 is a great companion on the road or at the park for music, news, TV shows and weather updates.
Customer Review: Excellent for emergencies
I chose this radio as a backup for power/cable outages. The TV band gets good reception (I’m in a metro area with few hills). Unfortunately, when TV goes digital in February ‘09, the TV reception feature won’t work. Sony notes this on the box.
I’ve always had good luck with Sony products - you can’t beat the quality and dependability. The radio is a good buy, even without the TV feature.
Customer Review: ¡great lil radio!
I ordered this particular radio based on Internet reviews and it is indeed a great little radio. It offers lots of stations, weather (important for where we live), and works excellent from the batteries. Perfectly sized, light weight, with good sound. I could NOT find a similar item in the big-stores. They offered only CD and/or alarm radios (not needed). This is my portable, dependable, counter-top (or my bedroom bureau top) radio, AND the one we have for storms!
