This TV has been my entertainment bread and butter for 2 years and I'm still happy with it. I've been using it as a PC monitor for 6hours+ per day and I'm yet to have any problems with it as a monitor. The resolution (720p/1360dpi) is just right for sitting close to it and I've a PS3 and XBOX 360 on it. A PS3 on this TV is amazing quality and the TV is HDCP complaint with 1080p support (upscaled from 720p).

There is some support that is missing because of the TVs price tag. There is no HDMI in but you can split to DVI and Coax in with no loss of quality (imho). The picture-in-picture mode only works when youre using it as a PC monitor and want to see another mode in a picture. I haven't tried watching anything on scart to see if picture-in-picture works on that but I have had TV through an aerial so I can work on the PC with TV in the corner and I can get the DVI (PS3) to show up in the corner in PC mode.

I count my chickens with this TV, it was one of the very first samsung HDTVs and its yet to let me down in regards to hooking up a new console or device thats released. None of the pixels have died and the picture quality is still spot on.

Summary: Great value, new consoles and peripherals still work a charm
