'LOOKED GREAT BUT A LET DOWN'
Strengths:
Very stylish Tv and once set up correctly provided a good picture
Weaknesses:
Took an age of fiddling with settings to get rid of blurring, artifacts, lazy pixels. in the end a intermittent issue with horizontal screen tearing meant it had to go back.
Overall:
Once set up it was a great tv. if not for the fault my set had i would still be happily watching it.

'WORTH IT AS LONG AS YOU HAVE GOOD HEARING!'
Strengths:
Excellent, clear picture - handles gaming consoles well as well as TV/DVD etc.

Easy enough to figure out the various features - the built in freeview was a little hard to master but I accomplished it in the end.
Weaknesses:
Annoying vibration when volume is up louder than normal. Fine for viewing, but if you have radio on or are gaming, it can become irritating after a while. If you are hard-of-hearing and have your volume higher than other people, this might be a problem for you.
Overall:
8.5/10

Would go for this model again, despite the vibration. Never had a minute's problem with it.

'EXCELLENT BUY'
Strengths:
The Set looks great, picture quality and rendition of colours is generally excellent, useful range of inputs and outputs.
Weaknesses:
Some smearing occassionally but this is charactisitic of many lcd sets, the sound is acceptable not stunning but as I play sound through the hifi (as many will) this is not much of a problem
Overall:
The Samsung offers great value for money and is surley the benchmark at this level. The SOny and Panasonic models way have a slight advantage in terms of quality but you do have to pay for it!

'STYLISH SET, GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY!'
Weaknesses:
The colour - I would have preferred white or silver as it doesn't show the dust as much!
Overall:
This is a great tv. I chose this set because the design and finish of a lot of LCDs is dull and very angular, plus it was within my budget of £500. I love the shiny plastic casing, and also the picture is crystal clear. Perfect for gaming or general viewing!
