5 out of 5 stars An excellent product   June 14, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought this television so that it could be used as a player for games consoles, a monitor for the computer as well as a freeview television. It does all these very well, and I am very pleased with it.
I did have a few problems setting up the freeview because I tried to scan the channels during the day, and could not find all the major channels such as BBC1,2,ITV 1,2 and several other channels.
I have had similar problems with some freeview boxes and PCs before in that trying to scan for the channels during the day seems to make tuning the channels tricky.
I rescanned the channels after 7 pm and was able to set up all the channels easily.



5 out of 5 stars Nice TV, nice picture   June 7, 2008

I have had this since about September 07, and paid about 280 for it which I thought was good. (I didn't get it from Amazon).

This is a great telly with good colour. Sound, as with other LCDs is not as good as old style TVs due to the lack of space for large speakers.

All the documentation I read before buying said that I'd have to buy a wall mounting kit separately. So I was pleasantly surprised when I found a wall mounting plate in the box. The base folds back and hooks onto the supplied metal plate that you screw onto the wall. I don't know if I was just lucky or whether everyone gets one.

The one downside (but not enough for me to downgrade my star rating) is the time it takes to change channels.
After pressing a channel on the remote it takes over a second for the TV to change channel, then takes over 2 more seconds to decode the digital signal. In all it takes about 4s to change channel. The first delay can be removed by using P+/P-. Anyway, this is only a minor point and just takes getting used to. The tv also reacts slowly to moving up and down on the channel list, and you can't skip a page at a time.

I would definitely get another Samsung. They are also cheaper to other brands but seem just as good to me.

4 out of 5 stars great but not perfect   April 19, 2008
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

Bought this tv a few weeks ago after A LOT of research, price versus quality being main considerations. Very happy with screen quality and sounds much better than expected - there is a surround sound setting which adds a lot to the bass and takes away that tinny quality. Lots of people describe a 19" screen as 'bedroom' size - we sit about 8-10' away and we're not straining! But then again, I don't want to be dominated by tv and used a portable 14" prior to this! However, be warned, 1. the one scart annoyed me as I wanted to be able to record via video and watch terrestrial while recording - with one scart YOU CAN'T DO THIS. I called samsung and they talked about scart extensions and complicated wiring procedures - at which point I gave up and ordered a Goodmans twin tuner hard disk recorder - this has done the trick - now I can record 2 programmes at once and still watch 3rd channel on TV (what a saddo!) 2. The remote is slow and gets frustrating as you keep pressing thinking it hasn't registered and then find out you've gone past the channel you wanted! However, all in all an excellent product for the price and good looking too!


3 out of 5 stars Good bedroom TV buts its no Sony   April 8, 2008

This is a good all round TV and good size for a bedroom. I've only given it three stars because of Samsungs poor customer service. Three weeks later after buying this TV it developed a fault, fine I accept this happens to all good TV's. I had to return it to Samsung direct, after 61 days of Samsung incompetence, 10+ phone calls (including 10 broken promises to ring back) and a lot of anger I received a new TV after they admitted it wasn't repairable.

In this time I had borrowed a 20 inch Sony to which I realised the picture quality was far superior.
My verdict: Good value for money, hope it doesn't go wrong, there is better if you need it
