All good, apart from the sound - 17 Jan 2008

I've owned this TV for about 6 months - bought as it was good value (£400) and took up loads less space than my old CRT.
The picture is great for the price, and the cabinet looks superb with its glossy piano black finish.
My only complaint is the weedy speakers - you really need to hook it up to an external amp and speakers - until then it drove me mad. Watching DVDs with the inbuilt speakers, I usually had to put the subtitles on otherwise speech was muffled (and no I'm not deaf!). But assuming you're not going to rely on the internal speakers it's a briliant buy.
Yet another lieing AMAZON business partner - 10 Aug 2007

Well, this is the 4th time I have tried to order a new LCD TV from Amazon being advertised by a Marketplace trader. Amazon should be embarrassed at the lack of professionalism and the damage being done to their corporate image and good name by these rogue traders tempting people in with false prices. This TV was advertised by "scalliwagsandrogues" as "In-Stock" and available for immediate dispatch from the UK for £250 (+ £11 P&P). I placed my order in good faith, but instead of the usual "Out of stock" LIE I was told that "the seller is temporarily unable to receive payment". Miraculously the item has now been removed, but I am sure it will reappear at a higher price. Why can't they just put up their hands and say "We can't sell you the item at this price 'cos someone screwed up. We realise that we are bound to sell at this price by the Sale of Goods Act, but we can refuse to sell at all, so that's what we're doing even though it looks bad to the public and errodes the good name of Amazon !" Much more acceptable than another LIE !!!!!!! Well, I'll keep looking as I do want a new TV, but I doubt I shall ever buy one from Amazon or it's partners. I shall keep placing orders when I see good bargains, and then writing sarcastic reviews when I am lied to about why the order cannot be honoured. Keep up the BAD work !
Wall mounting - 31 Jul 2007

Hi,
If you intend to wall mount this TV, you need to purchase a VESA wall mount plate. 200x100mm. This will fit to the back of the tv (in the pre-marked holes on the back of the set) and will allow for it to be attached to a wall mount.
I had the same problem, but investigating a little further brought up the VESA plate. I have managed to wall mount my set with no problems.
Hope this helps.
Great TV as long as you don't intend to wall mount it! - 22 Jun 2007

The picture on this TV is great. HOWEVER - the holes in the back of the TV do not match any standard bolt sizes making it almost impossible to wall mount. I'd call this a manufacturing defect - however Samsung "Customer Service" disagree.
My advice would be to look at a different brand if you intend wall mounting.
Stunning HD output... Shame about the sound though - 13 Jun 2007

This TV has *almost* all you could possibly wish for in a high definition LCD TV. HD output through HDMI is, to put it in a word, perfect. There is no horizontal shredding, frame rate is very high and smooth, and colours are as vivid and bright as they could be. High definition gaming is also a pleasure, and I'm amazed at just how pixel-perfect and high-resolution the images are! The screen is also perfect for use as a monitor. The response time is fast, and, yet again, colours are very vivid and realistic, perfect for photo presentations or slideshows, as well as computer games.
The built-in freeview is satisfactory, but the TV guide is very, very slow at times and sometimes is takes a good few seconds to switch channels. Once this has been endured, you're faced with picture quality that cannot even be compared with the TVs HD output. The picture can be fairly grainy or fuzzy, but hey, that's just what freeview is. The one thing is that the TV seems to require a separate freeview receiver if you wish to record shows to DVD, as it certainly isn't explained in the manual how to use the TVs built-in freeview receiver to connect to a DVD recorder and record from there. However, the freeview receiver is, overall, satisfactory.
The one thing that is a bit of a let down is the speaker system. Bass really is poor through the speakers, and they don't go loud enough by any stretch of the imagination, even in a quite small room. This doesn't seem to be a one-off, though, as many LCD TVs seem to have this problem because there isn't much room to squeeze the speakers into in the slim design of the screen.
Overal, though, this TV is well worth owning, and goes along well with the rest of the décor in the house thanks to its elegant and minimalisitic styling. Great for small to medium-sized rooms, this is a perfect TV for anyone looking for great HD output (as long as sound isn't a bother, or separate surround sound speakers are available for use with the TV). Well worth it and pleased, and if I was given the choice of whether or not to buy it over again, I would buy it again.
