Customer Reviews

Fantastic
I got this set via Amazon prime with the discounted stand and wall bracket.

I did quite a bit of research before purchase and looked at a number of TVs in shops before making my choice. There is so much choice and so much data to compare the decision was not easy but I have had Samsung before and never had a problem. One shop was selling this exact same model for £300 more than I paid!

For me this TV hits the sweetspot between price/brand/quality. In store I compared it directly against Sonys, Panasonics and others and this set not only looks better stylistically but performs better as well.

As other reviewers have commented, the sound is probably average to good but the screen is awesome. The olympics look great on BBC HD!

The 6/7 series (this is a 5 series) are supposed to be better but I could not see a huge difference and bearing in mind the shelf life of TVs these days and the pace of innovation I see no reason to pay any more than this. It has all the connections you will ever need and Full HD resolution.

Faultless for the money
Purchased this tv a few days ago for £600 delivered after much research.
I am currently using the built in freeview (just moved house and only have an aerial in the loft at present).

I have to agree that the picture out of the box isn't great, but I had no problems finding picture settings on a few forums - 5 minutes to put them in and the picture is perfect, and thats on SD.

I'm waiting on a new HDMI cable and a freesat box coming through so that I can hook up my PS3 and check out the HD.

I haven't really noticed a major problem with the sound, but then I haven't really watched that much on it as yet, but I would imagine that most people would use a 5.1 theatre system anyway.

Overall, I think it is a great looking tv for the money.

A Fantastic package
This television offers me everything I was looking for .. and more!

Apart from the beautiful FULL HD display and the bright 30000:1 contrast ratio, it has some other features such as PIP and a powerful built in Freeview receiver.

The icing on the cake was the Wiselink USB port which allows me to directly connect my camera and usb stick to access music and mp3z.

Amazon's PRIME delivery was excellent - I got my tv within a day. I ordered on Friday at 2pm and it was delivered to me next morning at 7am!
