Score 9.0/10+ Glossy black finish, amazing 720p imaging with bright colours and a colour enhancer. It has a built in entertainment mode to suit movies, games, sports. It looks great, even as a typical samsung design. compatibility with other devices and the masses of options to configure the television to your own specified needs just makes it an enjoyable experience in general.
- It's tall, glossy and can generate static, which means it attracts a lot of dust, which shows and sort of spoils the facade, it marks easily if you aren't careful and finger marks are easy to leave. Low mobility, it's not easy to move your tv into another room without aid from something to wheel it on, or another person helping.
