Tags: samsung, watching, high definition, material
We like:
Gaming mode; three HDMI sockets; picture quality
We don't like:
Out-of-the-box picture settings less than ideal; weak sound; slow remote control response
CNET.co.uk judgement:
If you're looking for a sensibly sized screen, possibly for gaming, this offers everything you'll need plus more. Once you've fiddled with the picture settings, the hi-def picture quality is good, and Freeview performance is decent too.
