Score 9.0/10+ Picture, style, design, quality of components and manufacture, ease of set - up and overall daily use.
- Sound seems to be quite "tinny" - especially when high - pitched sounds (classical music etc) are being played. Might be better to listen to through a hi- fi or home cinema system.

Sleek sexy design.
Plenty of inputs.
Using with a media center (SVGA Input) and has a gorgeous picture and a nice resoloution.
Has reasonable EQ and speaker off function when used with external speakers.
Picture was a bit blotchy at first, but after calibrating and editing colour/brightness/etc was sharp and well defined with no bleeding.
It's Samsung
-
Remote is ugly and doesn't balance on the sofa well (Slides off)
Sky digital + Analog TV gives out picture poorer than TV can handle (Bring on DigiTV)

Score 10.0/10+ A great looking television & a perfect size for our lounge. Very good picture & sound. Easy to set up.
- When on digital tv & you turn to a different channel it doesnt list automatically what the programme is, so if you scroll through the channels you cant see straight away what programme is on now & next. It might be that we just haven't found out yet how to switch this feature on & you can still see whats on using the guide. Other than that, no bad points!!
