+ Quick to set up, lot's of connections (including DVI in), great colour. HD signal can be displayed via DVI adaptor. Not much size difference between this and the 23 inch version. Great value.

- Non-hd signals look a little poor when very close to the screen though fine from about 2-3 metres (recommended viewing distance).

+ An excellent purchase.
We purchased this Samsung model as we previously purchased the 42" model in June and the television exceeded our expectations. An added bonus was the exceptionally competetive price.
Definitely recommend the product.

Laurel, Berkshire

+ Came with good instructions and the menus are easy to use. Best picture quality is when TV is looked at straight on, but when you move around the room or look from above or below much of the screen goes dark. Screen can be pivoted, however. I have had no mechanical/ electrical problems with this set yet. Excellent sleek design

- Only one scart socket. Does not have an off switch: only has a stand-by button (which is bad for your electricity bills and the environment)

+ Nice design, attractive body

- 3 complaints: 1. Volume is inadequate. It's often necessary to use the maximum setting and the set is about 4 feet from the seating area! 2. Colour is inconsistent from channel to channel. The only way to affect the colours is through a general "mode" change since it's not possible to adjust the key elements -e.g. reds and blues. The colours can be awfully garish. 3.The unit can't be switiched off and remains on stand-by. This is environmentally irresponsible.

+ Strong aesthetics looks more inconspicuous than a black TV when mounted on the wall. Very easy to use and the base swivels round to become a wall mount, so there is no need to buy expensive wall mounts. Picture quality is pretty good but best viewed from at least a couple of metres away as too close and it looks a bit pixelated. Sound is fine for a bedroom but haven't tried it elsewhere.

- You can't turn it off without switching it off at the plug. Pressing the on/off button on the front just puts it on to standby.

- The image isn't great, and the refresh rate is poor (when credits are going across its almost like they're stuttering), and the sound is quite tinny. But if its just for bedtime viewing like us, its fine and I recommend it.
