Gurdial, Birmingham

+ Picture quality is very high. Design and looks and connectivity are excellent.

- Sound quality for the size of tv is quite poor. This tv suffers from severe motion blur and judder no matter what the setting on 100 Hz. Samsung should publish what is corrected in firmware updates.

Steven, Hammersmith / London , “Film and documentary lover”

+ Great picture and a very nice looking TV. Like the on screen menu's, sharp and vibrant graphics. Very easy to upgrade the firmware of the TV via a usb mem stick. No lag when used with the XBox360.

- Is a bit slow when using the internet apps.

Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second.

You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site.
