Samsung LA40R71BD

Perfect. Been living without it – Brilliant tv while it was working. Developed a problem where it would take a while to turn on. When the while took over 8 hours i figured it was time to get it checked out. 2 years later. Still in the (recommended) repair shop. Spent more time there than in my living room. Called several million times and still trying to get the parts. Samsung is awesome.  Show details

PARTS! – I have a Power Board and a Main board from this model taken from working TV with broken screen. pocketpcman AT gmail

Bad – Was very happy with tv until this problem occurred. What was most disappointing was Samsung's dismissive attitude to assisting with resolving this issue. Great picture and easy to use Appears there is a common fault with the power board which manifests itself just out of the warranty period. Lots of references to the problem on on-line forums. … Read more

When you switch the tv on it makes a clicking sound for around 15 seconds before finally turning on. This gets progressively worse until it fails altogether.

Excellent – It still has great picture quality after 4 years and a testament to Samsung quality has not caused a single issue so far. It was a bargain buy brand new and I bet it's very reliable second hand I have owned it for 4 years now. Not a signle problem so far. Still great design. Believe it or not, it came in black with blue plastic bottom, or white… Read more

with dark purple bottom. I bought the white one as it sits on my white furniture. Still looks great. You won't get this brand new now but if you have an opportunity to get a second hand. It is still a great buy. The maximum resolution of 1080i is superseded by the newest LCDs and LED TVs. It had special deal with Microsoft to enhance Xbox 360 game graphics and works well. A bit bulky buy today's latest design standard.

Good – PIP could be better - does not do pip for component outputs (DVD/VCR/Game/Satellite) so I don't use it. Nothing really worth pipping on commercial tv. Looks great, works great. My daughter bought herself one for her bedroom because she really loved the one we got for the lounge room. Loved it so much got another for family room and Samsung… Read more

had a special where they sent us a free one so we put that in my son's room. All still work perfectly. Great for HD viewing, movies and games/pc mode. LCD is better quality than plasma imho as have bought a new plasma and even though I love it...the same thing in LCD would have been better (but would have cost 5x more for the size). Great product at a great price. Great picture, still works as well as the first day I bought it. PIP is different to what I expected.

Excellent – Couldn't go past this TV bang for buck it's got to be one of the best of seen. Picture quality is perfect and styling is great. I'd recomend this tv to anyoneand have several of my mates have bought one since me and are also stoked with it. 10/10 looks great can't think of anything

Excellent – Recently bought this tv, we loved it because of the picture, it seemed to pick up darker colours better and we watch tv mostly at night and it seems perfect for that. Love watching dvd's on it, I am yet to play games on it but im sure I wont be let down.. The sound is good, the picture is still great even with the standard… Read more

wires! P.S. You dont need expensive cables... I do like the channel manager and the guide aswell. If i didnt get this TV I would have got a Sony, but just loved this tv all round including its slick design, it even comes in white! Which looked awesome!  Thumbs up from me! Hot design, great picture! I am yet to dislike anything

Good – going from a 68cm ctv this lcd looked huge in my lounge room and took some getting used too to watch.the easy set up from first pluging in is a breeze.the picture is excellent as is the sound from which you can adjust to suit your likings.we got a extended warrenty for cheaper than the shelf price so do some bargaining as you always can with… Read more
