Samsung HTX50 Home Theater System

SAMSUNG HT-X50 HOME THEATER SYSTEM

Strengths: Value for price, easy installation

Weakness: For the Price, none

Just bought and installed this system. Works great with my Samsung LCD TV. Installed easily in no time. I did have a little troble trying to figure out how to get surround sound from my tv- as Best Buy said all I needed was a audio cable (in addition to the HDMI cable).

Just bought and installed this system. Works great with my Samsung LCD TV. Installed easily in no time. I did have a little troble trying to figure out how to get surround sound from my tv- as Best Buy said all I needed was a audio cable (in addition to the HDMI cable). I hooked it up, but could not get it right until I went to Samsung's support webpage. In the FAQ, I found out that you could not get surround sound, but rather stereo sound, which was fine with me. Just a matter of using the function button to show aux, then I was able to hear my tv through the 2 front speakers.

I was so thrilled with my purchase, for $243 through ABT electronics, that I bought another for my boyfriend!

Samsung HT-X50 Home Theater System

Strengths: Easy to install, small speakers, great sound

Weakness: Remote does not work with my television

Just purchased this system for under $220. It works great in a medium sized room. I did a lot of research and, for the price, this was the best system. The installation was easy, however my room was already wired for surround sound. Everything is labeled so it is easy to figure out where the wires go. The speakers are small, but that does not affect the sound quality. The DVD player is large, but...

Just purchased this system for under $220. It works great in a medium sized room. I did a lot of research and, for the price, this was the best system. The installation was easy, however my room was already wired for surround sound. Everything is labeled so it is easy to figure out where the wires go. The speakers are small, but that does not affect the sound quality. The DVD player is large, but slim, which was expected for a 5 disc changer. The remote is very detailed and, after reading the instruction manual, semi-easy to operate. Unfortunately, my television is not recognized by the remote so I have to continue to use separate remotes. Overall, I am very impressed with this system. For the price, you can't go wrong. The sound definitely beats what comes out of a television alone!

HT-X50

Strengths: PRICE; optical-in, HDMI output; Upconversion to 1080i; 5 disc carousel

Weakness: Center channel doesn't screw mount; buttons on remote are tiny

Definitely a good bang for your buck price-wise. I wasn't as impressed with the upconversion as I thought I'd be (difference between 780p and 1080i was negligible). But for how small the speakers are, they certainly more than get the job done.

Fantastic Value!

Strengths: Great sound! Great Features! Good Price.

Weakness: The speakers could definately be more attractive, but they aren't that bad.

I got a great price on this unit so that was definately it's best feature for me. Once I got it set up, I was thrilled. The audio is better than units twice the price and it has great features. Optical audio-in and the ability to connect to a wireless module for the rear are great bonuses. Also, my TV has a slight video delay, and this home theater system allowed be to delay the audio to match....

Samsung HTX50

Strengths: Sounds great when it works.

Weakness: I bought this unit for my son for a house warming gift on March 1. The first one was a manufacture defect and never worked. The store immediately exchanged it. The second one lasted only 3 weeks.

I am out $250.00 for a piece of junk that no one can fix and Samsung doesn't even recognize it as one of theirs. (too new) Don't waste your money on this pile. I will never buy Samsung again. They won't even stand behind thier own product.
