| Quick to set up and is ok for bedroom TV. Audio is on the tinny side. Also, when playing a DVD, the sound needs hoofing up to top volume. Considering I use a blue ray player and good HDMI cable, I'm pretty sure its the TV that is at fault. I don't know if any other users have noticed this but the TV is quite unresponsive to the remote control for the first five minutes when the TV is turned on, which is a little annoying. One last thing, with the built in freeview, it does not provide programme information when you change channels, just what channel is being shown! For the price though, I can't really complain! |
Can't be bad !

Wanted this for for emergency use in case of car breakdown & it's a little more than a basic call phone..camera could be useful.
Took it out of the box, put in a Sim card & I was able to test call my home Phone , I shall need time
to sort out the other features, being 80 yrs old, things take a little longer. |
Amazing Quality

I ordered this TV as a small telly for one of our upstairs rooms - just as an extra to our main one. Well, this one (although quite a bit smaller than our main one) has actually a much clearer picture and great sound. Especially combined with the Sony Blu-Ray player that I got with it (BDPS370).
The clarity of the picture is so good, my little baby-sis almost ate the telly, when she saw an image of a chocolate cake on it - it looked so real! :-) |
Good product so far

| I have had the TV now for 4 or 5 weeks and at first I was having a problem with the signal from BBC. I rechecked the aerial connection and pushed it into the socket harder and so far it is working OK. I have found it easy to set up and adjusting the picture to my liking was a little complicated but in the end I fathomed it out. |
Top notch value

| For the money, I just wasn't expecting such a nice TV. I'm using it for gaming until I get a high res monitor and move into new home to use it only as a TV it's super sharp and in gaming/movies it's really smooth there's a setting for everyone too. Depending on your preference. A port to take any input at the back also. Looks great. Is great! Sound from the speakers isn't bad either considering they're hidden! |
Very good but still not up to CRT image quality

This TV was actually my second attempt to upgrade from CRT technology - the first TV went straight back because the image quality simply wasn't good enough. The Samsung still isn't perfect - you still get softness and jaggies visible in the menus and start screen of a connected DVD player - but its getting better and is certainly acceptable for the very reasonable price.
This Samsung offers impressive connectivity with 3 HMDI sockets and a single SCART, plus VGA input so you can use it as a monitor (although the resolution is a bit strange) and there's a choice of dual phono or optical to take audio back into your hifi. This latter point could be important to you because the small, downward-firing speakers aren't up to much - you might find you have to play with the various settings to make it legible.
The built-in Freeview tuner does a good job and must have slightly higher gain than the Sony set-top box I was using before, which produced a broken-up picture if the weather was at all dodgy due to our distance from Crystal Palace. Self-tuning is quite fast, and you can delete channels you don't want, but they do still appear in the programme guide, which is a little annoying. The remote is fairly small and not as good as those Sony produce in terms of ergonomics, but better than some. You'll need good eyesight to read the printed manual - the text is tiny! |
Good but not great

| I bought one of these from Amazon 3/4 weeks ago after reading the reviews here. I wanted a 26" TV for wall mounting in the kitchen so depth was very important to me. This was one of the slimmest LCDs I could find and sure enough it looks fairly unobtrusive on the wall. The picture is good especially when using the built-in Freeview tuner but I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't compare with the 6 series Samsung in the living room. The main thing that I was worried about was the audio quality as the other reviews are very mixed. Personally I think that it just about ok for use in the kitchen but it clearly is the weakest feature of the TV. All in all, does most things well but not brilliantly. |

Great TV, shame about the delivery service!. Wasted 3 days leave waiting in for a delivery that didnt happen, despite being told by the delivery company that the TV would be delivered that day!. No help from them or Amazon, so just had to wait until it was finally delivered, 5 days after the due date
I will always use Amazon but not if the Supplier is using this Delivery company again. Absolutely appalling |
