Cheap HD woohoo
Not a bad piece of kit at all! fair enough for the price you aren't going to get the same picture quality of a 42" HD plasma or anything like that, but never the less, its still got a nice picture on it!

I'm yet to try it out on HD (will do when get the xbox360 hooked up to it), just been using it as a TV on normal (not freeviwer or anything like that). Despite saying in the instructions its high resolution, therefore can be a bit rubbish on normal analogue tv as it has to increase the resolution of the broadcast rubbish, it still does a pretty good job!

Only problems i've found with it so far:
Viewed very close on normal TV can see a little bit of defection (maybe needs fine tuning, ideally freeview box or something similar should sort that out though).

Thats about it though really, its slim, has enough sockets to plug half your house into and unlike normal TV's it doesn't make that annoying eeeeeeeeek high pitch sound so you only hear the sound you're meant to.

Quick glance:
Picture 4/5
Sound 4/5 -for a small tv in a room... plugging into bigger speakers like i do will be better though
Quality 4/5 - feels solid enough
Menu's 4/5 - didn't get 5 as there are no options for time eg, auto turn on at say 7am to wake me up etc
Price 5/5 - HD doesn't come much cheaper than this!

Recommended? YES
overall happy with my purchase, sits nicely on my desk and will do the job fine, and also have the option of plugging my PC into it so no need for a tv and a monitor in the same room.

Better than expected
I bought this monitor/TV with some trepidation as there were no reviews for it and I was not sure how a dual function unit would perform. I wanted a monitor that would replace my top range CRT and allow me to use my PS2. I can safely say that this unit has fulfilled all of my needs admirably. Quality is excellent and set up was easy. I have not tried it as a TV yet but I am sure the picture quality will be very good. Dearer than a standard monitor but worth the money if you want dual function.

Typical Samsung Quality
Currently I have an Xbox 360, a Media Center PC and a Samsung HT-Q20 Home Theatre system plugged into it and it is to put it lightly, absolutely amazing!

The colour alone is better than any of the other TV's of size and it's high contrast ratio means that whatever game you are playing on your PS3 or Xbox 360, it's going to look fantastic. I have all my games running on 720p and they do look outstanding!

It does have a lot of inputs in the back too, VGA, DVI, component video, scart and AV. It would have been nice though to throw in another set of component inputs. There aren't any HDMI connections but you can always get a cheap HDMI to DVI adapter, that would work well.

To be honest, I would only trust Samsung when it comes to HDTVs. Sony doesn't really have great customer service and with this TV you know you are getting real quality. I hope that you do go for it, if you do you're getting something really special!

Hope this helps
