Samsung LE40R74BDX Review
Babita Wakelin
This is the new generation of Samsung’s cutting edge technology. The Samsung L40R74BDX LCD TV looks slick dressed all in black, and makes a change to the usual silver screens that seem to be monopolising the market.
Sit back and take in the HD picture on this 40 inch widescreen telly. With a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 the Samsung L40R74BDX has a contrast of 5000:1 which makes it brighter and crisper than its rivals Sony.
And Samsung’s unique Digital Natural Image Engine enhances colour, contrast, motion and clarity within the picture.
There’s a PIP (Picture in Picture) feature which is a bit of a gimmick but we like it. What it does is it opens up a second smaller window on your main screen allowing you to watch two programmes at once - so next time the adverts are on you can watch something else until your show resumes.
Similar to Sony’s Bravia, the L40R74BDX has a 178 degree viewing angle giving you the option of sitting anywhere in the room and still getting a good picture. It comes with a whole host of features including IDTV, 1,000 page text, PC connectivity, auto volume leveller and composite connections
Finally, the standards - It’s got HDMI connectivity so there’ll be no reason to not watch true colour images, S-video and two Scart plugs.
