Customer Reviews

Sky HD? Xbox 360? HD DVD? Look no further.
We bought this TV mainly for use with Xbox 360, having previously used the VGA cable to connect it to a PC monitor (which will display in High Definition). This produced razor sharp images but had the severe drawback of washing out the colurs, making the image dull and colourless. Then we connected the Xbox 360 up to the Samsung and it made the games shine! It truly delivered the next generation graphics we had been promised and, with the Samsungs ultra fast 8ms response time as well as its game mode, did not suffer the drawback of most LCD displays and blur the picture. Razor sharp images and deep, near 3d looking colours. It made an unbelievable difference to our old CRT model.
As for actual Television, the Samsung produces non-blurring images which can outmatch most CRTs in quality, even in Standard Definition, along with lifelike sound, and don't get me started on what DVD's look like on it!

For a brief summary,the Samsung produces razor-sharp, deeply coloured images. Dynamic sound. All the sockets, including HDMI, Component and PC input. And styling that makes you stare at it even when it's turned off.

Looking for High Definition television? High Definition Gaming? High Definition DVD? This is it.

Recommended if you want a well-priced widescreen TV
This 26" TV is great if you want a widescreen picture but haven't neccesarily got a huge living room. The set up was totally automatic and you can fine tune picture settings if you so wish. I can't fault the picture quality as others have and yes, CRTs are probably better but HUGE!! I read somewhere else that LCD isn't worse than CRT just 'different'. Viewed from more than 1m away the picture looks fine.

I've watched DVDs (various space operas and 3D cgi-fests) and they all look great! I don't have a games console or watch footy so I can't comment on how these look. The inbuilt Freeview works fine and I've not experienced any blockiness. There are plenty of inputs and outputs to keep gadget fiends happy.

The only thing that takes getting used to is the remote. There are so many buttons and many of the useful ones are at the bottom.

This may sound weird (being on Amazon) but I bought this much cheaper elsewhere 2 weeks ago (and it's not a site listed here). It's worth shopping around.

An amazing Buy For An Lcd HD TV
It is incredibly easy to set up all you do is plug an aerial in turn it on and it sets itself up in a few minutes. The quality of the picture is amazing, at first i thought that the anologue channels were the freeview channels because of their high quality but the freeview channels are even better quality, and even though it does take a while to change channel u can use the electronic programme guide (EPG) to quickly scroll through all of the channels viewing what is on them for the next 2 hours or for a whole week if you scroll to the side. You can use the electronic programme guide to mark programmes that you want to watch and the tv will take you straight to that channel when the programme starts. This tv is amazing for the amount of money you pay and because it can accept all types of HD from a component it is perfect for things like game consoles such as the xbox 360.
