Score 8.0/10

+ Easy to set up, image quality very sharp & crystal clear in HD. Options for picture, backlight, sound etc easy to use and can be adjusted to suit the environment

- Compared with other samsung tv remote controls, this is slightly more chunky and not quite as easy to use comapred with say the older R series versions. this may just be personal preference.

Score 10.0/10

+ Great TV with a fantastic picture, very easy to set up and tune in, connection via HDMI to external components is also very easy. Very good build quality too and very very heavy.

- The sound is good, but with the unit's overall thickness of about 8cm the speakers will not give you that cinema sound, but still a great TV

+ It came straight out of the box and was working within minutes. Despite the huge screen size it doesn't dominate the room, and within an hour or so it blends in to your room as if it had been there years.

- Haven't come across any yet.

+ Easy to operate, the manual was really in depth and explained all the functions. The picture quality is really clear and great value for money... Definately worth the purchase

- Although the tv is really good the only thing missing is an actual button to switch the tv off from the set. You can set it to standby but you can't turn it off fully unless you switch off at the mains.
