 Barbusa's recommendation | |
Sleek looking Plasma with excellent quality picture, even on standard definition!
Includes simple 'Plug and Play' set up.
Skin tones are also excellent and nature programmes are really brought to life with this TV.
Freeview facility is included!
Watching DVDs through the SCART RS lead is absolutely unbelievable!
Great pc monitor.
Several people that are a lot more knowledgeable on the subject than me told me, before I bought the TV, that the audio is not brilliant and the range of features is somewhat limited, when compared to other similar plasmas and, although it seems OK to me, it could well be the case. As I am using it with a full 'home cinema' sound system this does not represent any problem for me.
Although we have had this Samsung TV for less than a week, the whole family are really impressed, especially when comparing it top our old Philips one that cost over six times as much four years ago!
The only thing is that, following our bad experiences with the Philips, it is absolutely essential that anybody purchasing this, or any other, Plasma / LCD TV purchases an extended warranty.
The other thing is that it is essential to shop around as the price varies considerably. Take into account the cost of delivery and extended warranty.
We ended up purchasing the unit from Laskys (a member of the Comet group) who at £932.00, inclusive of delivery and five year warranty, was £20 under that of John Lewis and by joining a cashback website (which is free) you could probably get another £20 cashback!
