General Comments

Samsung LE19R88BD Review - I usually buy Panasonic. But Panasonic don't make a 19 inch LCD TV. So this Sammy was the next best thing.

Price/performance ratio is high. Picture and sound quality both match or exceed what I expected from a TV this size. Superior sound can be obtained by connecting the TV to an external amp and speakers. Sound from the TV speakers is adequate and not, as some have suggested, unusually bad compared to other manufacturers' sets of this size and at this price point. The 'high-pitched whine' reported by some commentators is absent and a basic wall-mounting bracket comes as standard - as well as a soft cleaning cloth.

Compared to other modern LCD sets I've used recently channel changes are rather slow.

The ornamental blue light below the SAMSUNG logo could be annoying in dark conditions.

There ' s no 'off 'switch on the set. It has to be switched off at the mains plug. Otherwise a small red LED stays on permanently.

Instructions for adjusting the stand (by pressing a button on the back) are on page 53 of the manual. These guidelines should be at the beginning of the manual because the stand has to be folded straight as soon as the unit is removed from its box.

But, all in all, a very satisfying purchase. At roughly £220 online '

Highly recommended!
