Samsung LE32R73BD LCD TV

I also bought my Samsung LE32R73BD LCD TV back in 2005 and have never had any problems with it. I paid about £1000 at the time. I have moved house a number of times since due to my job and the TV which has travelled everywhere with me including Ireland, the UK and Europe. with all the travelling, disconnecting/reconnecting, packing/unpacking etc, has never failed me once..... I have never had any problems whatsoever with the TV and have practically used it 24/7 since I first bought it. I have had it connected to my Laptop, PC, XBox 360 and even my mobile/cell phone and the picture is as fresh and crisp today (June 2010) as it was when I first bought it. I would recommend the TV to anyone as a very reliable, high quality "safe buy". The only slightly negative thing I can say about this particular model is that although it is "HD Ready", it only has a maximum screen resolution of 1360 x 768 at 60Hz which back in 2005 was excellent and as good as you could get. Now however in 2010, most "HD Ready" TV's come with the 1080p/1080i as standard. The reason I mention this is that this particular model may not be able to fully realise the potential picture quality delivered by todays Blu-Ray and HD players. Although to be honest, I have never noticed any great difference in picture quality between this model and the 1080p and 1080i's. In saying that though, my eyesight isn't what it used to be :-). Anyway, in conclusion, it has been one of the most reliable TV's I have owned (and I''ve owned a few over the years) including Sony, Panasonic and JVC. So Happy Viewing people..........!! :-)

Quality of the picture is very good. But after a fairly short period the TV has developed horizontal line whilst on Sky, but is perfect when on normal digital. Sky engineer advices me that the fault lies with the scart sockets on the TV as the lines also appear when plugged into the DVD player. So overall I am disappointed as obtaining parts are not easily sourced.

I brought this LCD TV in 05 when my old CRT TV went bang and at the time it was around £900, and for the last 4 1/2 years no problems then all went wrong we started getting dodgy picture quality and then picture going this usually came back in a few seconds then it went completley with sound only, samsung say that the backlight went and would cost around £350 to repair so now cheaper to buy new tv but for the money these days it is great value and will give a great HD picture when conected to HD equipment like SKY or Games
