Advantages: great picture quality

Disadvantages: Can attract the dust

I bought this TV a week ago afer reading many reviews on the internet. If you want a top of the range TV then you should go and spend a fortune on a Sony Bravia, but as this is generally going to cost in excess of £1500 most people may not want to spend that on a TV. I looked at this in Curry's not realising my Dad has exactly the same TV and in his words "he hasn't seen a better picture yet on a TV".

The set looks great with its rose trim and at 40ins was plenty big enough for my lounge. It is easy to install and you can change the setiingas you wish. If you go to hdtvtest.co.uk they give their opinion as to what you should have the settings at.

Watched Dark Knight on it as the first DVD and the picture was fantastic coupled with the DVD surround system felt liek being at the cinema in the comfort of my own home.

I am having problems with a flickering at teh top and bottom of the screen, especially on SKY Sports, but I think this maybe as a rsult of camera rather than the set as it soesn't happen on other channels, maybe other reviewers could confirm this or not? Oh and it does attract a lot of dust, but you do get a special cloth with the set for cleaning.

I did see a LG with the same attributes at £549, but am glad I went with the Samsung as I do believe it is a better make. You go to any shopping mall where they have TV's showing products etc they always seem to be Samsung? Reliability possibly?

Overall a quality TV, and with a £100 off the price currently, worth a punt.

Summary: Great TV for a price of £699 (currently)
