Customer Review: Great TV
I’ve had this about 6 months and just wanted to say that it’s a great TV. Perhaps I am not a very demanding customer, but to my eye the picture is great and the sound excellent. Excellent connectivity. Perhaps the EPG could be a little more impressive, but other than that it’s a well built, pleasing on the eye (on and off) TV.
Customer Review: Why you shouldn’t buy a large TV online.
The picture quality is good for an LCD TV. Don’t use the factory settings, look online and you will find how it should be set up for home use. There is ‘motion blur’, a slight effect on moving objects or when the camera pans, but that’s common on most LCD sets. Some viewers won’t even notice it. But it’s still quite not up to the old CRT standards of sharpness, especially on moving objects. The sound is not so good. As others have remarked, there is very little bass. I am sure Sony could have engineered better sound quality if they had wanted; small speakers can, surprisingly, give good lower frequencies.
But I can live with that.
What I can’t live with is a vertical red line on screen 5 cm from the left hand side. I notified Amazon, who said to send it back. As they no longer stock this TV, they would give a full refund as it’s only a couple of months old and otherwise as new. A company called HDNL was going to collect it. But that means, at short notice, getting a day off work. For me, that’s not easy, and after some delays I’m going to have to contact Amazon to re-re-arrange collection. I’m now booking a number of days off work. Because of course I’ve also get to get a replacement TV. And do you know what these courier companies are like? I was given a two and a half hour time-slot (fixed by the courier, not me). Great..
Why can’t Amazon send an engineer out to just repair it? I already know it’s the digital tuner in the TV that’s at fault. Well, I think you’ll find all online companies will want you to send back the TV if it develops a fault. And currently (read other reviews) Sony at least don’t seem to be too good on reliability (I’ve bought Sony for 30 years and this is the first of their TV’s to give a problem. Standards falling to keep prices down?).
Anyway, the outcome is , when eventually I get the TV back to Amazon, and get a refund, I’m going to a local TV shop which stocks some superb Panasonic Plasma TVs (still the best). It will mean paying about ?150 more, but I think it’s worth it. A five year guarantee. Service by their own engineer, in your own house. And a loan telly if it comes to that.
And no waiting around for bloody couriers.

Customer Review: Cheap and cheerful
I purchased for under ?50- and you do not expect a great deal for this amount. I did find that my panasonic ram discs played on this machine which was the main reason I bought it, but the Samsung do not play on the panasonic. I too have tried timer recording onto ram disc and it wouldnt. does anyone know if this a fixable problem?
Customer Review: Very disappointing - don’t bother.
Could not cope with dvd-ram discs (same problems as other reviewers). Progressive scan feature resulted in sound but no picture. Froze several times, I had to unplug it to re-set. It was cheap but I thought Samsung were fairly reputable and now I wish I hadn’t bothered. Returned within a week for a refund.
