Samsung LE32R74BDX Lcd Tv Review

For an entry-level HDTV the Samsung LE32R74BDX is putting on an average show. It's selling point is the in-built freeview but if you have a sky -dish already installed I would advise you shop around the other entry level HDTVs brands like Panasonic, LG and Sony Bravia 2nd .. .. Read Full Review

Your rating for this TV is not the best (because of picture quality). But here's what others say
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/televisions/0,39030218,49276715,00.htm
I'm totaly confused now....

Oh yeah. Forgot one thing.
You say that sound quality is good, and cnet.cco.uk says that it is poor.
Even more confused....

Thanks for your comments, at Unbeatable.co.uk we just try and tell it like it is, we don't go and have a look at what every other review site says and then copy what they said that defeats the object of reviewing a product. We tested the Samsung using various inputs and sources and it faired very well but not excellent. The sound quality compared to other sized LCD TV's like the Toshiba and Panasonic was very good and to be honest quite surprising.

Put a wall mount bracket on the back, then try and use the scart sockets. You can't!!

It would have been better if the scart & ariel connections were vertically fitted. However,you can connect the scart if you do it before attaching to wall.
