Samsung LCD TV's
Discussion
I was in the local TV shop at the weekend looking at a small-ish LCD (32").
The woman told me that a 32" Sony Bravia TV that they had in stock had the screen from a Samsung and that the only difference between the two TV's was the external styling. She had the Samsung in stock too and it was about £200 cheaper than the Bravia.
Is this b
ks?
I'd always thought these cheapy samsung tellies were kack. I've got a 20" Sony Bravia in our kitchen and the picture quality's OK (It only cost £350). A mate has a 37" Samsung LCD and the quality's gash.

I've got a 37" Samsung (I think?!) and the quality is brilliant.
There are some settings you need to change though which make a massive difference compared to the 'out of the box' settings.
Have a search on AVForums, thats where I found out about this - and that one model has a rubbish screen so should be avoided.

I have 2 samsung LCD's
The LE40R74BDX and the LE26R74BDX, the same TV just smaller in the bedroom, and I find them fantastic TV's
I know its well known that LG make a few screens for people but I didn't know samsungs were into it too, it soulds like she's telling a whopper, I would imagine a company like sony to make their own panels.

better at displaying SD than Samsungs IMO.You can now get 1080p on 32" sets. I'd recommend browsing www.avforums.com for some sound advice before buying. Certianly helped me. I have a 40" Sony W3000.
I bought a Samsung 32" LCD about 2yrs ago, don't know the model number but it was around £1200 at the time. It looks great as a piece of furniture but I'm really disappointed with it's performance, the sound isn't great and the picture is really nowhere near the quality I expected from an LCD, especially when showing dark or black colours. Only reason I bought it is because it was a take it or leave it exchange for an even worse Philips LCD which kept breaking down on me.

Been the way since the dawn of tellies - or in fact any electrical gizmo's. I remember (many) years ago my dad taking the tape unit out of a (very) expensive car header unit and replacing it with an identical one from a header unit that cost 1/20th the price as it was cheaper than buying the "proper" replacement. Much like supercar parts we have 101 threads on.Plotloss said:

Why on earth would you want it though?To notice the difference between 720p/1080i and 1080p on a 32" Set you'd need to be sat less than 4ft from it!

Our main living room (where the 32" is destined for" is quite samll so I don't want a TV which will over-dominate the room./ My den, where the xbox and blu-ray player will be, will have the monster 52" - 60" tv...
So it's time that I start learning...I think we had this discussion on another thread quite recently;
t'other PH LCD Thread
and I have to agree with Plotters' first reply to the OP. Samsung is Korean for no.
I have one (well, I say I, the missus bought it) in the bedroom. Atrocious piece of garbage, and yes, I have set it up with the video essentials DVD or at least I tried to. The lack of 4:3 -> 16:9 switching is the least of the sets deficiencies. Hate it with a passion. My JVC procured from Der's emporium of wallet lightening 18 or so months ago is a far far superior watch.
