LCD FOR BEDROOM

Summary

This is a very good looking tv with an excellent picture, especially after a few adjustments, which are easy to do. The picture on freeview or sky is brilliant Bright and sharp. motion is handled very well, with minimal smearing on fast moving objects. colours are vibrant with deep blacks and bright whites. Sound is not so good, needs a bit more bite to it, but i have heard worse from bigger tvs. The remote is quite long and is easy to use. The connections are adequite but another HDMI socket wouldnt have gone a miss, nevermind. All in all its very impressive and im glad i bought it.

How long have you used the product?

1-3 months

What are the strengths?
Great picture quality, Very easy to set up and to use. good connections with a game mode. Freeview decoder built in. HDMI input.
What are the weaknesses?
Sound is a little light, could and should be better.
Wall bracket fixings are weak, you cant get a tight fit. so be careful. only one RGB enabled scart.

What are the strengths?
Easy to install, good looking set, nice picture, good price..
What are the weaknesses?
Couldn't record programmes to my Sony DVD recorder when the set was on standby. Sony person said this model wasn't designed to allow recording when not on. When I mentioned recording while on holiday hesuggested I ask neighbours to come in and switch set on at required times (honest). Tried to speak to a Samsung technical advisor, but told it would take 3 days at "this time of year" (Jan 5th).
