Summary: DOA
Comment: Arrived in good condition, yet wouldn't come out of standby. Amazon arranged quick replacement though. Will have to wait and see what the next one is like!

Summary: Great TV with a few minor irritations
Comment: Very pleased overall with the superb picture quality and stylish looks. Minor irritations include the time it takes to respond to commands such as turning on from standby -13 seconds, changing channels - 6 seconds. No on and off switch which means you have to unplug the set if you do not wish to leave it on standby. The remote is also tricky to use in the dark until you get used to it, the button layout is not ideal. Be careful during set up, it is not idiot proof, if you press a wrong button as I did. Excellent value for money at £179.

Summary: A brilliant 19" TV in Beautiful Black
Comment: I ordered this TV on the 3rd DEC. Received TV on the 10th DEC. Amazing service from Amazon.co.uk. Cannot Fault TV in any Way. Easy To Set Up. Delivery In This Time To Kirkwall In The ORKNEY Islands By Super Savers Is Amazing. This TV For The Spare Bedroom Is A Beaut.

Summary: Great Value for money
Comment: After carrying out a lot of research and looking into all sorts of TV's, I decided to go ahead and buy this Samsung TV. And I have not been left disappointed. It is a great little machine, with fantastic image quality, and it is so easy to set up.

After reading a few other reviews I have felt that some of them may be a little misleading, so I wanted put my own opinion forward.

Remote Control:
This remote may be a little hard to get used to but all the buttons that are in frequent use are all located and designed in a way that allows them to be found easily.

Freeview Menu:
Someone has mentioned that the Freeview menu is badly designed, but to be honest, I think it is great. When you press the 'guide' button you can see an inscreen video with sound of what you were watching. You can also see the information on the programme you have scrolled over, as well as being able to skip 24 hours and beyond. It is a great little feature, and certainly nothing I would complain about.

Blue Light:
The blue light on the tv is a great little touch, simple but it looks nice. It turns off when the tv goes off, so it is not a problem.

Dust:
Another reviewer mentioned that his TV attracts dust. I have to say if your room is dusty, then of course the TV will get dusty. But if this is an issue Samsung have already thought of the solution and have included a dust cloth in the box!

My only complaints:
I have only picked up on two complaints that I have (Hence the 4 stars)

Standby Mode:
As other reviewers have picked up on, the fact that the TV is constantly left on standby mode is an issue. Of course when you go on holiday you can always unplug the tv from the mains, but on a day to day basis it is a bit annoying.

Speed:
And again as other reviewers have picked up on, this tv set is quite slow. It takes a while to switch between channels, but as Im not really a channel hopper it hasn't seemed to affect me. I would say just use the TV Guide on freeview to see what you are watching, and then you won't have a problem!!

Final words... What a great TV! Simple, affordable, stylish and well thought through in so many areas! Easy to setup, and sound quality is fantastic! Not everything is going to be perfect, but I think this is as near to perfect as you can get! Well done Samsung!

Summary: Buying Samsung is a no-brainer
Comment: This is by far the easiest TV to set up in the entire history of the earth. The picture is great and crystal-clear.

This is a fantastic TV for the bedroom, kitchen, spare room etc. And it is relatively future-proof with HD compatability etc.
