Samsung LA40R81BD (40")

Good – Got the 40" just after christmas so have only had it for a couple of months but very happy with it. It makes a pretty sound when you turn it on and off. the remote is easy to navigate around, I haven't even looked at the manual which is saying ALOT because I am not technilogically minded at all.

but that might be the DVD player and not the tele - but for some reason when DVD's are on I need to turn the sound up significantly more so than just watching tele. Not a big deal, overall I am very happy with it. Great quality, awesome price (boxing day sales), very easy to set up and tune nothing so far

the lower quality of Standard Def or Analog. Set up was really easy and the store warned us of the set up problem with people only doing the analog set up and not waiting for the Digital set up to complete.

Just a note if you play PS2 games or older game system. The lower quality game graphics look a bit off. May need to update your game system if you want to use them on this TV. Movies are great and really impress.

Over all looks good and has great functions was a good price. Happy with it. Clear Good Picture and sound is pretty good, Looks good, Blacks are really good, price was good and setup really easy. Makes PS2 game look a bit rough.

Excellent – Since purchasing this LCD my bedroom has never looked better, The 40" really makes it stand out, especially for movies and PS3. It is a shame that FOXTEL HD won't be launched till late 2008 because you can notice the clarity on standard definition programs, but the HD channels Ie: 7HD, NINE HD, TEN HD etc...Looks great, Excellant colours in screen… Read more

and CCFL Lamp is just as good as Sony's - Hence they come out of the same Manurfacturing complex in Japan.

last thing too add, shop around. I purchased mine for $1596.00 as RRP is $1799.00. so shop around guys. A+++ Panel, Clear Picture, Stylish Dust Settler
