Samsung LE40R8 LCD TV
So few months ago the hubby and I enjoying a quite night in, nice meal and a couple of bottles of wine, TV adverts come on during the film your watching…. And the hubby says 'that's a nice big one'…..(at the adverts that is) and I get that sinking feeling of oh no how much is this going to cost! The item in question is a Samsung LCD TV.
So we go for a drive, no I should rephrase that I chauffer the hubby, and for some reason ... ...biggest boot with a 40" Samsung LCD LE40R8 TV. When we got home and started unpacking the TV, I was quite surprised at how well it was packaged for protection. Fitting snug in the box surrounding in polystyrene the TV was wrapped in a fine texture plastic covering and bubble wrap to prevent the screen and surround from being damaged. The remote control, cables, stand, cleaning cloth, and batteries also came covered in protected covering. Wall mounting ...

Quick review of Samsung LE40R8
DISAPPOINTED, BOUGHT 5 WEEKS AGO, LOOKS GOOD SOUND OK BUT PICTURE ONLY GOOD WHEN NOTHING IS REALLY MOVING. ANY FAST MOVING OBJECTS AGAINST A BUSY BACKGROUND HAVE SEVERE GHOSTING/BLURRED Haze around the object. IF YOUR A FOOTBALL FAN THIS IS ALSO SPOILED BY THE GRASS HEAVILY PIXELLATING IF THIS IS THE RIGHT WORD AND SORT OF SHIMMERING WHEN PICTURE HAS NO MOVEMENT GOING ON. PLAYERS ARE NOT SHARP AT ALL! THERE IS SOMETIMES A FAINT STATIONARY HAZE OVER WHOLE SCREEN NOT ALL TIME.ALSO WHEN USING STANDBY RED BUTTON AND SWITCHING BACK ON BROKEN HORIZONTAL LINES APPEAR , CAN'T GET RID OFF UNTILL TURNING WHOLE THING OFF AND WAITING 15 MINS. ...

Quick review of Samsung LE40R8
Have had this tv for over 3 months now and have to say its excellent. Picture is outstanding and when running with HD tv its awesome. I have dvd, surround sound, hd tv via v box and my pc connected via hdmi and all work flawlessly. Love the way the menu greys out the features for items not connected; this makes setup even easier.
Not sure why the other review is so negative but my guess is they never set the tv up correctly.....lack of finding capslock gave away the inability to work electrical objects :) ...
