I purchased this TV in order to play Xbox 360 games in high definition and it certainly does the job. It does 720p and 1080 interlacing very well and the picture quality and sharpness and very impressive.

The built in freeview is easy to use and quite responsive to button presses. The rest of the functions like changing the picture settings, sharpness and so on isnt as quick to respond as i'd like and also turning the tv off or on is quite a slow affair. It seems to take a while to turn on and get fully bright, a bit like an old CRT television would.

The sound from the Samsung is pretty good and there are a range of options to fine tune it to your tastes. There are a number of built in sound styles or you can customize your own. It doesnt do bass sounds very well and the speakers will crackle if you turn it up loud with high bass on.

Having said that for watching every day tv via freeview or sky, or even playing computer games through it, its a pleasure to use and watch. There are lots of connectors at the back for SCART, HDMI or component cables and installation of the tv on to the stand is simple.
