Great Budget TV
I bought this TV for college, and it fits perfectly in my dorm. The picture quality is pretty decent, though compared to traditional TV, it is not as sharp.
The audio quality is very good. I was able to play Final Fantasy 12 with this TV, and the audio lives well for my expectations.
No lag while playing my Playstation 2 console...
The only downside is that if you want to switch from AV mode back to TV mode, you need to press "SOURCE" on the remote or the TV 4 times...and it's annoying waiting for it...but besides that, it's a very nice budget TV for anyone that wants a TV that can save you some money and space.

Below expectations for a Samsung
Application is dual input from cable TV input and analog PC input, used as side monitor on a triple screen home computer workstation.
1) Audio output stops intermittently a few times a week, requiring power off/on to regain audio.
2) There appears to be no way to disable unused source modes. To switch from computer input to TV input requires one push of the Source button...... but then to return to computer input requires 4 button pushes - as the TV cycles thru AV, S-Video, Component modes, and finally back to PC mode. A weak design - the unit should recognize which input is enabled - it is not possible to hook up all 5 modes.
This is particularly irritating as this model was marketed as a TV/PC monitor.
Picture quality is acceptable for the application, which is primarily watching news channels while working at PC, or displaying dual PC applications.

Good Value
I was very surprised at how good the color is on this TV. I've has it for a year and love it and many friends have bought one and liked it as well. It's a great price for a LCD TV.

Samsung LT-P1545 15" Flat-Panel LCD TV
First, I would buy it again if I needed to. This 15" takes up less space on the kitchen counter, i.e., speakers are on the bottom. Second, picture and sound are excellent, i.e, clear.
I would not buy this item if I wanted a true VESA mount to monitor configuration. The stand, not the monitor, has the screw holes for the VESA wall mount. Not enough or clear info in the description. However, it is just as easy to turn on the counter as on the wall. If you need counter space then buy something else..
"Samsung LT-P1545 15-Inch Flat-Panel LCD TV"
Want a high performance new flat panel TV that "does it all"? Need a choice of screen sizes to suit your different needs? Samsung's new 45 series of LCD TV's is the place to start. These beautiful new sleek designs contain Samsung's latest LCD panel technology. It all starts with picture quality, and these sets boast improved contrast, brightness and off-angle viewing. Add to that the flexibility of a PC input, integrated NTSC stereo TV tuner and a unique base that doubles as a wall mount and you've got both performance and value.
Standing at a mere 2.5 inches thick, Samsung's EDTV-resolution LT-P1545 LCD television is small in stature but big on quality. The 15-inch, 1,024 x 768 screen produces vivid, high-contrast images while occupying a minimum of space in your office, living room, bedroom, or kitchen. Its wide viewing angles (150 x 120 degrees, H x V) ensure easy visibility, even when the unit is mounted on a wall. In addition, the set connects to a personal computer through its RGB (15-pin D-Sub) input, letting you surf the web, check e-mail, or play QuickTime movies right on your television.
Perfect for use with a digital cable, a satellite receiver, or a progressive-scan DVD player, the set is configured in a standard, 4:3 aspect ratio and accepts both standard-definition 480i and enhanced-definition 480p signals. A built-in NTSC stereo tuner is configured to receive the standard 181 channels. And with its lightning-quick 16 ms response time, reasonably high 400:1 contrast ratio, impressive 450 cd/m2 brightness rating, and onboard digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), the set renders sharp, focused images from a range of inputs.
LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).
The LT-P1545 makes flexibility a top priority, giving you several preset picture and sound modes (and custom settings for each) as well as a handy swivel base that doubles as a tilting wall mount--no additional accessories required. The TV also permits color temperature adjustment for warm, cool, or neutral tones, along with a trilingual onscreen menu. Additional features include sleep and on timers, V-Chip parental control, closed captioning, and an auto volume leveler to minimize jarring level differences between, say, programs and their commercials.
Choose one of several preset sound modes (standard, music, movie, speech, and custom) for broadcast through the built-in 2.5-watts-per-channel x 2 speaker system. The television's MTS multichannel decoding separates audio signals for stereo reception and broadcasts a second audio program (SAP) when available for multilingual or other applications.
To connect the monitor to devices such as DTV set-top boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, game consoles, or camcorders, use the set's component-video input (480i/480p), S-video input, composite-video input, RF input, and the above-mentioned PC input, each with its attendant audio inputs.
