What is it: 1080p LCD TV with 'rose black' styling
What we think: If HD is your poison, then this TV performs brilliantly -- not so with Freeview
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 15 April 2008
Tags: samsung, motion, material, plastic
We like:
HD picture quality; sound quality; design; brilliant selection of inputs
We don't like:
Dated menu system; ugly remote; price
You might also need:
HDMI cable; HD TV service; HD games console; Blu-ray player
CNET.co.uk judgement:
A good HD TV, but not a brilliant performer when it comes to standard definition. If you're a gaming nut or someone who only watches DVDs and Blu-ray discs, then this screen will probably suit you
