Title of review Excellent Product
What are the strengths? What makes it a definite success in my book is the perfect balance it manages to strike between the key elements of price, design, features and performance


I would also recommend www.thefreescene.net where I got this item for FREE! Completely legit site as seen on the BBC and CNN
What are the weaknesses? None..
Summary Great design; very good black level performance; plenty of features; really vibrant colours.

Definitely recommend www.thefreescene.net

Title of review Optical issue
What are the strengths? Looks good, for the few days i had it.
What are the weaknesses? Very complicated to set up
It's a dust magnet.
There is a fault with the Optical out put when using a Digital signal; Samsung sent out an engineer, they said the mother board would need changing. Over a week later no replacement part, or Telly. If you get to speak to someone in Samsung, they don't follow up and return your calls.
Engineers now say it will be a week for the new part.
So a brand new telly with a fault, no replacement, cr*p customer support from Samsung.
Also if you use the new Sony HDD with the telly the picture actually gets worse, and puts the sound out of synch
Summary if it goes wrong don't expect any help from Samsung
Do you recommend this product? No

Title of review Full HD LCD with serious problem
What are the strengths? Full Hd screen(1920 x 1080 res.)
excellent picture from upscaling dvd,standard Sky and any external Freeview scource.
Build quality,very nice,even the full Piano black finish is not that great a dust magnet.
What are the weaknesses? There is a fault with the Internal Freeview Tuner.The picture will "judder" on an irregular basis.This can be every few seconds or every few mins.
This fault has been brought to the attention of Samsung who are giving it their attention,but so far no fix available.
According to the AV Forums,68% of owners have this fault in their sets.
Sending the set back will,in 2 cases out of 3, result in you receiving another with exactly the same fault.
I would strongly suggest that you avoid this set untill this matter is resolved.
Summary An excellent LCD spoilt by its inability to carry out its basic function.
Do you recommend this product? No
