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.

Amazing Screen for the Future
For a good 3-4 months I was waiting to buy the previous model but as soon as I had the funds this upgrade came out, I had collected extensive research and concluded that I was going to get this screen, and I dont regret it one bit. When it comes to 'black levels few companies produce it as well as samsung'. The performance of the LCD is easily as good and most often better than the performance you'll get from any CRT but relative to the source (PS3 or Freeview via outdoor ariel). This particular screen is perfect for the bedroom but there are a few faults, one in particular is that as good as the sound can be, at high pitch levels there is some distortion this is simple solved by connecting speakers to it and the assumption is that if you can afford this screen you can afford speakers, I'd advise the purchase of logitech's superb Z-2300's, another problem was that PS2 games just looked horrid and this was through component cables so do not buy this if your intention is to play last generation games on it. One thing I must advise, is seeing if you can create a set up whereby you can connect your PC to the screen, the results are just outstanding, movies via DVD have never looked soo good. This being a new model of samsungs R series means that it will cost alot more initially and though the results prove its worth it the trade off in price by getting the lower model (LE-26R7 series) may be preferable to those whose requirements are little less demanding such as just needing a screen for next gen gaming. In summary this screen excels in displaying movies as it produces black and contrast levels that no other screen can at this competitive price a great investment for the future. It must be noted that the issue of getting finger prints over the screen is not even an issue it will probably require once or twice cleaning per week at most. One thing I definitely found dificult especially being a perfectionist is that no matter how many positive reviews a product got I always was still uncertain until every finite detail was covered therefore for those perfectionist all I can conclude is that this screen resolutions are superb but most importantly contrast ratios and colour saturations are exceptional and set up is easy with samsungs instant plug and play feature but collect other reviews to conclude if you want to purchase this screen, from what I know sony screens and toshiba screens slightly outperfom samsungs but these new models may have changed that. Apologies for the long review but its because I wanted to cover most of the issues and solutions that I had when hunting for a screen. I must also add for people who have a wii and want to play on this LCD the picture quality is impressive and is good enough to warrant its purchase but one note is that zelda for the wii doesn't look as good because of the simple fact that was made for the gamecube ironically though gamecube games though being last gen look impecable when played through the wii and so this may also apply to PS2 games when played through PS3.

Fantastic TV
As soon as you get this tv out of the box, you admire the quality of this product. It is a glossy black finish which is a brilliant tv to look at.
It is so fast to set up aswell, it tunes in all analogue and digital(freeview) channels automatically which is very satisfying.
The main reason why i purchased this product is foe the playstation 3, hi definition experience. And what an experience this is. Sometimes you forget that you're playing games- it looks so real!!!
It is also great for connecting other products, like DVD players or vcr's, because it has 2 hdmi and 2 scart ports.
Also the colourand contrast is amazing.
If you are looking for a tv of great caliber, then this is a must have With the slim design, and great price, I would definately recommend this tv.

almost perfect
the picture quality on this tv is great, you only really see the quality loss on freeview broadcasts if you're right next to the screen, at normal viewing distance it looks amazing

the one drawback of the freeview system is that it is very slow to change channels and bring up the menu etc, my old sony set top box was lightning quick and you could bring up the info box and flick through the info for different channels like on sky, without changing the channel you're watching, which you cannot do on this tv i don't think

playing my ps3 through hdmi works brilliantly though, very sharp picture quality, sound isn't too bad through the in built speakers but i've got it connected to my amp for films and stuff

all in all a great buy, just slightly disappointed with the freeview integration
