HDTV From A Gamer's Perspective - Samsung SlimFit
Nevermind all the talk of the end of standard television in the next few years as analog signals cease in lieu of digital goodness; if you're a gamer chances are the high-definition era looms much larger as the next generation of gaming begins, led by the HD-standard Xbox 360. For the first time... Read full review »
Do not waste your money.
I have owned this TV for less than 2 years, and it has completely stopped working. TWICE. The first time it died, we had to pay over $400 to have it repaired. That was about 6 months ago. The TV has once again stopped operating. The unit has never been dropped, abused, or damaged in any way, so I... Read full review »
Good value for 30" wide-screen tube TV with HDTV tuner
UPDATE: 20 OCT 06 - Sadly I must knock down the reliability for this unit as it would no longer turn on. Unfortunately this is two months after the warranty expired. In home repair is quite expensive, and lugging this heavy thing to the shop is a big pain. The diagnosis was thermal diode failure... Read full review »
Great set at an excellent price.
It was time to buy a new TV, but the new one had to be HDTV compatible. So, after looking around stores at LCD and plasma models and asking for demos in both HDTV and NTSC, I decided that a CRT set would give the best picture when operating in both modes.
The Samsung TX-R3079 was on sale...

poor quality model; samsung usually does better
I bought this TV at Best Buy a little over three years ago. I chose it over LCD and plasmas since the combined factors of: picture quality; price; and reliability of a CRT were still superior to the other formats at that time.
Well, it was home a week when it completely died. Best Buy...

Was it just bad luck?
I'll try and keep this quick, as the previous review already covers most of the TV's good and bad. My experience with this tv was extremely negative.
I bought the set on a Saturday night from Best Buy for $850. Get the TV home, plug my Comcast HD cable box to it via dvi to hdmi cable, and...

Nice clear images; but, weak HDTV tuner
All external sources display very nicely including an older Samsung STB. The internal HDTV tuner looses signals, stumbles and de-pixelates (watch the pixels crumble). The outside off-the-air antenna was rotated and tuned to it's strongest signal to get MAX performance. The internal HDTV tuner... Read full review »
Very good TV once I figured some things out...
I can't add much to the two reviews that are already here, but I want to add one additional fact in regards to gaming. As a test for this TV I ran "James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing" for XBOX through component connectors, and once I got to the main menu I noticed that bright whites tended to... Read full review »
Had this less than 3 years
It was worked fine, until this morning - nothing - it's dead. Press the power button, and nothing happens. Called Samsung, they gave us a repair shop phone number and address. I have a bad feeling about this... Read full review »
I had this only 3 years
I bought this TX-R3079 a little over 3 years ago and the television decided to not power on today. I have read many forums and reviews and would advise against purchasing this television. If you decide to purchase this television then I would definitely make sure you buy the extended warranty... Read full review »
