Customer Reviews

Excellent as a PC monitor
Bought one of these in February 2007 when they were just over six hundred pounds delivered from Amazon. Its main use is as a monitor for a HTPC system, and although there is only a VGA 15 pin connector the quality from a modest Radeon 9600 card is truly excellent at the native 1360x768 resolution (picked up automatically by the PC). Most of my viewing is done in the evening with subdued lighting, and the picture improved with the brightness turned down and a couple of other minor adjustments (worth spending a few minutes with the manual).

It gets most use for watching DVDs and watching TV from a Nebula (r.i.p.) Digital TV card in the PC with the sound fed through my HiFi. Very pleased with the picture quality. I also sometimes use it as normal PC monitor from my chair about 9 ft away (with a Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse), where it gives very clear text.

I did try the inbuilt Freeview tuner and speakers when I first got it, but the results were not as good, especially the sound, which is acceptable for everyday use but nothing to shout about. I tried routing the sound through my HiFi, but for some reason there was then a delay between the picture and the the sound coming from the Samsung audio out socket, and I never got to the bottom of that. No synch problems though when used as above with the video and sound both coming from my PC, or when just using the inbuilt Freeview tuner and speakers.

Best TV you could buy for this price
I've searched for HD televisions for over 1 month, and finally bought this TV in september 2006, and since then never had a problem. The TV should actually cost more than it is because it is great, especiallyif you play XBOX 360 on it, the picture quality is extremely great.

AVOID SAMSUNG! More Style than substance.
This TV lasted 12 months an 2 weeks and is therefore out of warranty. Samsung tech support tried various combinations of "engineer" settings to no avail- The Freview and HDMI socket still do not work.

No call backs as promised by Samsung UK.

Incidentally my YPK3 Samsung mp3 player lasted 3 weeks!

I will avoid Samsung products in future.
