What's great about it: It's small enough to be well matched to desktop use
What's not so great: Its LCD screen is pretty good, but not as good as the slightly larger competition
(Rating should really be 3.5 stars.)
I would have preferred, and actually bought, a Toshiba 22-inch set -- great sale price, higher resolution (1080p, vs. 720p for the Samsung), superior off-axis brightness/viewing. But the 22-inchToshiba was the smallest screen of theirs available, and it was just a bit too big for either my desktop or the kitchen counter (where we have a one year older Samsung 19-inch). So I returned the Toshiba for this 19-inch Samsung.
Having said all that, the Samsung 19-inch is quite a decent value. And the off-axis viewing problem is significantly improved in this newest model, vs. the older one we have in the kitchen. This newer model has a "magic angle" feature that allows you to optimize the screen for vertical off-axis viewing. ("Standing-up" viewing is the typical problem for us here.) Horizontal off-axis is still a problem -- get too far off to the side, and the screen washes out.
There are many features, including lots of sound equalization, to optimize the set for your own use.
All in all, a very decent set for small-screen applications (countertop, desktop, close-up viewing). I just wish Toshiba made a 19" set.
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Easy to use remote control
About me... Sports enthusiast, Technically savvy viewer, retired
I would recommend this to a friend!

How many watts does the TV use while on?
I am a truck driver and would like to install this TV in my truck. I know I will require an AC/DC inverter because the TV is not 12v. So I am curious how many watts the TV will use while on. Thank you.
Dunno if I like the idea of watching TV while driving a truck -- if that's what you had in mind. But this model has "offshored" its power supply to a wall-wart unit, which plugs into the back of the TV at a DC socket labeled "14V DC". So you might actually be able to power it directly from an accessory socket on your truck, if you get the right cable, without the AC power supply.
In any case, answering your question, the set uses about 20 watts (as measured at the AC socket). So maybe a little less if powered directly from the vehicle's DC power. Good luck with the setup!
