Advantages: Absolutely beautiful ! HDMI, Bulit - in freeview tuner, LCD Screen, 32 inches

Disadvantages: Tacky remote

If you are looking for a cheap, feature filled TV - This one has it all!

This stunning LCD screen is definately one of the best TV's this year. It's low, low price (£874 from 247electrical.co.uk) thrashes other competitors producing similar High-Def 32" LCD's.

I'll begin with the CON's:

No major Cons, however there are a couple of minor points I thought I'd mention:

- The TV never "turns off" completely, however stays on standby until unplugged at the wall, this is annoying especially if the wall plug is hard to get to. I would recommend leaving it on standby short-term and only fully turning it off if you are not going to use it for at least a couple of days.

- The remote control looks and feels a bit cheap and tacky, I expect it is the standard remote control for all Samsung TV's. However, it's not too bad and can always be replaced with a much better looking remote (eg. an "all-in-one" universal remote (personal recommendation))

However, do not let these minor points put you off, the Pro's definately outweigh the Con's.

PROS:

- Extremely cheap for the amount of features it has.

- High- Definition TV (HDTV) compatible means that it works with the Xbox 360, the new Sky broadcasting later this year (I think!), new HD DVD players etc.

- Built in Freeview, means that you get around 30 free channels and loads of radio channels (check out freeview.co.uk for details and channel listings). This can also be expanded using the TopUp TV feature (buy a card from your nearest Dixons or TopUpTV.co.uk - £7.99 a month for 11 extra channels).

- LCD screen, does not get "screenburn" as with Plasma screens. Note: screenburn is where if you leave an image up too long, it "burns" into the screen and leaves a permanent shadow on it.

- Really thin- about 10cm (don't take my word for it though it's just an estimate)

- 32 inch screen size.

- Beautiful design, will make a fantastic centrepiece in any living room.

(Personal recommendation: Mount it on the wall- it looks great)

All in all, if you're looking for quality, performance and value-for-money - get this TV.

Summary: If you're looking for quality, performance and value-for-money - get the Samsung LE32R41B.
