Superb Picture Quality, Well Specified with Very Useful Features not all TVs Have, 10 Aug 2010

The picture on this TV is excellent BUT it is essential to 'tweak' the settings to achieve an optimal presentation (suited to your own taste of course) after the likely initial shock of the picture being awful with the default settings; already being the owner of an 18-month old 37" Samsung LCD TV I knew how important this was. I adjusted the settings by playing a Blu-ray of 'No Country for Old Men' as the opening sequences have a good combination of beautifully bright, sharp and full of contrast shots. The sound is less impressive but still perfectly acceptable and MUCH better than I was expecting due to small power output/size of the unit. The only noticeable aspect is that the maximum volume achievable is not very high; it is not a great issue as for normal TV viewing it is fine and a surround-sound hi-fi is used for DVDs/Blu-ray...
This 720p 26" (it will of course accept all HD signals up to 1080p and 1080/24p) was bought to 'replace' a 24" 1080p LCD TV made by...

O.K. I bought this TV at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the USB capability. It plays almost everything I throw at it from a 320gb USB Hard Drive I plugged in.
Picture is great most of the time. However, I have noticed motion blurring when there is fast and not so fast motion on the screen. When I watched True Blood on Friday motion blurring was occurring when a person moved their head. Now is there a setting I can adjust to circumvent this? Funny thing is that I have watched a lot of football in HD on the set and there is no motion blur for that so it seems that the processing can handle fast moving balls but not motion on peoples faces.
Also, the aspect ratio for freeview TV. There does not seem to be a setting to keep the original aspect ratio of the braodcast signal. I like to keep the original aspect of the broadcast media but there does not seem to be a setting to achieve this unless I am missing something.
I'll continue to...

Great TV, 10 Jun 2010

I've a small living room and wanted to replace my 21" tv. I did an awful lot of research before deciding on the Samsung. The 26 inch is the perfect size for my lounge and the picture and sound quality is fantastic. Set up is very easy including connecting to my bt vision box with an hdmi cable. I really like it's simple, pleasing design as it manages to blend with my decor rather than dominate it.
I have no hesitation in recommending this telly.
