12:40 HDMI-CEC (consumer electronics control) is a standard that lets a TV control a device and vice-versa over HDMI. Most commonly, it's used to let you use the TV remote to control something connected to it, like a DVD player. It still exists and is very convenient.
Hey Yasmine! This is Jermey McGuire this is my opinion the panel matters more than the brand of the TV. You want great picture quality than a TV panel that gets a bad picture quality, Samsung TVs have a good high quality panel on their TVs.” When you’re watching a movie on a Samsung TV the darks are not grayish like other TV panels and the picture is accurate on Samsung TVs, and other tv manufacturers will use a high quality panel. It depends on cost of assembling the TV;
TV wall mounts are NOT screwed into drywall, lol. They’re bolted onto your wall studs. The wood behinds your walls. They’re usually spread 16” apart. They can hold as much weight as you’d like since it’s bolted to the foundation of your house and ceiling, but usually TV’s over 48” are bolted on 2 studs instead of the one that’s used for smaller TVs.
@bigpapab That might be the same one I had growing up. We got ours in 2007 so maybe it might be. Ours was 40 inch too. Yeah the stand was really cool. I remember thinking 40 inch was huge compared to our old 27 inch wide-screen CRT. I wanted to keep the CRT but my parents sold it as they weren't gonna listen to a 5 year old which was me lol
Early - mid 2000s HDTV's all have better speakers than today's models, I legit used to listen to music on a 40" Zenith LCD from 2005. Thing had *one* (1) HDMI port lol.
That i s such an awesome score. You scored the TV in the right time when TV's transitioned between HDMI, Component and Composite. And VGA (which NO TV comes with today) input so you can use basically all retro games consoles AND retro computers to test on this "now your super-monitor", you're in for an RGB treat of epic dimmensions.
PC input was actually very common on older TVs like that. I have an older Dell model that surprisingly still works too also in terms of modern ones some of the cheaper ones still have the composite inputs on them too and the beeping thing was common on older Samsung TVs too. I had an old Samsung crt that did that
Each input has it's own independent settings. The settings for VHS input does not apply to the DVD input, so on and so forth. So you can customize each input specifically for the device connected. I'd connect that Panasonic Via S-VHS you'll get a lot better blacks, contrast, and color.
Samsung design is really nice. These are great TVs because they have so many inputs! It's very disappointing that premium TVs only have HDMI in these days. My parents owned a samsung from 2007 and it was so buetiful. I like how it has a swivel stand. These days 4k tvs are made so cheaply and aren't premium at all. I have a LG C3 48inch and it's nice TV because it's oled but that's where it ends. Everything else about my TV is crap. Don't like how my TV is bent because it's made too thin and also it's probably cost saving materials. Also don't like how it leans back on its stand.
@YasmineCollects It's not just new TVs i think everything feels less innovative these days. I geuss things will improve if they discover that TVs aren't selling aswell anymore so that would force them to make them better. They want our money so hopefully TVs get better. Would be nice to have soundbar built into modern flatscreens so we don't have to worry about extra wires and stuff like that to have decent sound.
My thing is that it's worth a check out even if you don't plan on keeping the TV. If it works but you don't like it you could sell it on, if it doesn't work, you can recycle it. Seems like a win win situation to me.
I like the puffin more than the TV lol and the HDMI CEC option is still current tech on Samsung panels. it lets the TV go directly to the video source you're using without manually switching inputs which is the ultimate in laziness for me 😴
This is a cool TV. I love that you love TV’s. I had a Samsung phone and I think it was cool. Remember, everything in life is about progress. Not perfection. Maybe you didn’t like the phones because there was a feature that was not there.
samsung made good crt as ODM e. g. for the 8bits of Tandy and Apple, back in the early 80ies. at that time they were completely unknown as a brand, but their stuff wasn't bad at all.
@@andrewandrews7427 Adrien Black had a few Samsung CRTs from the late 80ies on his repair desk this year. it's always nice to see the Samsung Logo with the 3 Stars on stickers the backside of Tubes. (or the round one from CRTs of the 90ies)
I get the same situation, and I was able to upgrade my TV's as well as SELL this for a good $50! But I have had to recycle some of these when they had to be reversed enginered, and taken apart and discarded...
the picture on the tv looks good to me i would make sure the backlight is not turned all the way up so the bulbs last longer old tv's are way better as far as inputs go you can hook just about anything to them and i think they are made better for the most part.
super coll find!! i have always wanted one of these older Samsung's with the big power button..my old doctor's office had one of these (a 32 inch) mounted in the top left corner! also, how do you gauge the hours on an LCD? i thrifted a 2009 Sony Bravia KDL-32L5000 from 2009 and it seems amazing to me, but you know more than i do LOL!!
The contrast is to control whites so they are not too white and the "Brightness" is to control blakc levels, confusing but true. Get a imagine with dark background or find an object on the TV you know is jet-black in real life and reduce the "Brightness" until you get the best inky blakcs without losing any detail. It's confusing calling the "black level" setting "Brightness" but we're stuck with the wrong naming. The " *Backlight* " setting is the real brightness control.
IMO as far as LCD TVs go, this era is my favorite. They just seem to have every input under the sun. Nice find!
100% the best of both worlds. Other than being impossible to mount with the thin drywall in my apartment 😂

If you use component cables ,you still need to use the audio outs red / white to the input of the tv as well to get the audio 😊

I have the 2006 40" model of your TV, without the stand :(
It is a beast and I also got it for free.
Has never let me down.
Great video!

You Know, if this TV has Component (RED BLUE AND GREEN Connectors), you could run that Wii at 480p.
I’ll try that next!!
A person's trash is another one's treasure, it will keep going. 😮
TH-cam: Want to see a 2007 TV?
Me: Yes.
10:18 -- My brother had a Samsung projection TV that made that sound. That thing was so cool.
Composite video cables needs separate audio cable.
You're only running video with those.
Samsung lcd and plasmas were great .
I’ve just picked up a 27 yr old Sony reference dvd player and just secured a pioneer plasma tv .

I live in the South, too. Would love to hear about these anachronistic chains so I could visit them!

I agree. There’s so much I could say about newer TVs…maybe I shall soon

can't wait for a few more years and be able to dumpster digve 4k tvs :))
composit and component you still need the rca (red and white) connected for audio

I'm watching this from my Samsung UE40D6200, which is still working perfectly.

It looks sturdy
I miss you friend ❤😊

Do you have an antenna?
Not connected to this one but yes!!
