Samsung LCD tv any good?

Options
Hi, I am considering buying this TV and wondered if anyone had any experience of it?

http://www.ciao.co.uk/Samsung_LE_32_A457__Review_5780969

The review sounds resonable and it is for my bedroom, I have a 37" plasma in my lounge. thanks in advance for any advice.

CC limits £26000


Long term CC debt £0

Total low rate loan debt £3000

Almost debt free feeling, priceless.

Ex money nightmare, learnt from my mistakes and never going back there again, in control of my finances for the first time in my adult life and it feels amazing.

    Depends on whether the OP has a full HD source to play thorugh it though.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    yeah, if the hd part is not important then i would consider getting a 100hz or one with a higher dynamic contrast. of course you could still look for a tv that has those two things as well as full hd.
    other things give hd picture now, its not just sky hd. games consoles, blu ray disc players and upscaling dvd players.

    as far as i can tell, theres virtually no HD films shown anywhere yet, and as for super HD? forget it for the near future.
    seems to me as just hype to sell some new tellys.

    i know someone who has sky hd and the picture while watching a football match and a documentary was excellent compared to a regular digital picture. if its not a full hd tv then the benefit is small that is why i recomend going for full hd if you use anything with a hd picture or are likely to. if not go for a tv with 100hz and possibly a high dynamic contrast.
