Samsung HT-TX 250

Advantages: clean looking, excellent quailty, low price, great sound
Disadvantages: not a full hd player

...Having purchased the Samsung HT-X30 in a package deal with a Samsung 42" plasma, i can say that i was impressed staright away. The main dvd unit is the same piano black as my tv, with an eluminated blue power button, again the same as my tv. This system upscales into HD, 1080 to precise, when coupled to an hdtv via a hdmi cable the quality is outstanding, maybe not as good as a genuine hd player, but not bad. I had a top of the range pano 1000w system before and for sound quality the samsung system totally out classes it, 5.1 and 850w, just perfect. The system has an HDMI output, plus a scart and a usb on the front, the remote is easy to use and the system is easily set up. Love it.... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic sound quality
Disadvantages: None

...Having been forced to move again (against my will I must add) I felt I deserved some new toys, I was on the verge of buying a 40 odd inch plasma when out of the blue I won one, and had also purchased a Xbox 360 Elite these new toys adorn my office, but I felt something was missing, that something was a nice cinema sound set up. Being as my house was slowly become a Samsung house I felt that they had to be the brand to supply me with my new equipment. The new move wore me out and I spent a week trying to plug up the courage to install my new system, if you have ever installed one of these or even a stereo with separate speakers its not necessarily a difficult job, but its incredibly fiddly and time consuming. My last Cinema sound system which I bought about 6 years ago was a right pain in the backside, it was fiddly unreliable and more... Read review

Advantages: Good styling and easy set up
Disadvantages: Poor value for money and sound not adjustable

...Was very easy to set up, and links well with a Samsung TV using the 'Anytime system, plus the clean sleek glossy styling is easy on the eye. The downside is that the bass is too deep and not adjustable, and a very noticable 'static noise' comes in after about half an hour after the system has been switched on. I have heard since that others have noticed this only through a games console but i have had the same effect through watching satellite and terrestial TV. I queried this with Samsung who advised to move other units around and away from the unit and also try changing the socket it is plugged into but the noise still appears. Overall the looks are great, and the sounds ok, but thats about it. My opinion its poor value for money.... Read review
