Manufacturer's Description
HD Ready
HDTV allows you to experience television like never before with the widest range of colours and the clearest images. High Definition contains four or five times as many pixels making the image much clearer than standard definition.

Wide Colour Enhancer
This exclusive technology delivers more brilliant colours, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system presents a wider colour gamut and four times as many colour gradations, showing you true colours; the fresh green of spring foliage, and the intense blue of the summer sky.

Movie Plus
Conventional LCD TVs are plagued by motion judder when showing fast moving action in movies and sporting events. The moving person or object looks shaky or blurred, like a series of still images, instead of a smooth moving picture. Samsung's exclusive Movie Plus completely eliminates this judder, presenting smooth action, no matter how fast it is going.

2 HDMI
Two High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections make your TV a multimedia centrepiece. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, satellite dish boxes into the 2 rear connections. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on a HDTV. (23", 26" Models have 2 HDMI).

Game Mode
Samsung LCD TVs offer unparalleled picture quality that can be optimised for gaming at the touch of a button. It allows for H-sharpness and a faster response time in the games. In addition, its powerful surround sound effects produce a magical environ-ment of wonder that is filled with excitement and joy.

Fast Response Time
Exceptionally quick and sharp, with speed of up to 6ms (millisecond), users will be able to see the remarkable difference in the response time of Samsung LCD TVs. The LCD TV ensur-es that each image is just as good as the real thing.

Customer Reviews

Excellent value4
Came to Amazon when let down by smaller suppliers and as ever Amazon proved reliable and efficient. (N.B. this TV was £400 pre Xmas!!)

The TV itself is great, albeit the freeview as mentioned can be grainy and the response time of the remote is slow. However watching tv through the sky+ digibox is as good a picture as my old panansonic CRT once we got the settings sorted out, which can be fiddly, and the gamer mode in HD for the XBOX 360 is incredible - Call of Duty 4 is scary!!

Overall a great little TV and for the money as good as anything around - we did our research.

very good5
i bought this tv a couple of months ago and have been very impressed by it. the speakers are not the best in the world but you dont expect it from a flat screen lcd tv. im using it for my ps3 set up and must say im extremely impressed by the hd experiance this tv offers. if you go to a main store anywhere and see this next to other hd tv's you will see the difference in quality immediatly and pin point this is the best one by a mile!
highly recommended tv

Beautiful - but watch out!4
I received this TV from an Amazon supplier this week, after a very quick and efficient sales process.

It's a beautiful piece of tech to look at, very nicely made, and the picture is great, particularly with higher quality sources (it makes you realise how variable the different Freeview channels are.)

Although having separate menus for the TV itself and Freeview is unfortunate, it's not a major issue.

However, the sound is generally not great, and I've since plugged this straight into a hifi. Considering the tv is only in my kitchen, I didn't expect to have to do that! Radio channels sound lovely through the internal speakers, but tv speech booms and distorts quite often at very moderate volume levels.

There's one other issue to watch out for, which may be common to many lcds. I'm wall mounting the tv, and bought a lovely slim Hama bracket for a neat kitchen wall installation. However, it's impossible to use as it is, since all the socketry is on the back of the tv, pointing towards the wall. Not even the right-angled mains cable will fit in the space provided!

In the end I'm going to step the formerly low profile bracket out from the wall with battens, and hunt around for right angle plugs and adaptors. Coax and phono fine - but right-angle VGA seems difficult.

We live and learn...
