Samsung LE-37R87BD

Paid £849.99 for my first ever HD ready TV and chose the Samsung LE37R87 because the screen was big enough and I associate Samsung with top of the range electrical goods. Paying for the TV was the biggest bugbear followed closely by the sheer size and nightmare it was to get into my flat (I had to unpack it in the hallway). These were the only problems experienced and were quickly forgotten as soon as I had it plugged into my digital box and commenced the set up procedure which was much less daunting than I expected from such a highly advanced piece of kit. Total time spent getting it into the flat and out of box = 35 minutes, installed and working = 15 minutes.

The LCD screen delivers sharp and crisp images that make you sit back in your seat as a warm grin spreads across your face. I had reservations about an LCD before seeing it in action in the shop as I've seen some pretty poor efforts from lower end manufacturers where the picture breaks up, distorts and generally looks like it belonged in the early 90s. The sound quality is on a par with the outstanding picture quality, never before have I watched TV shows heard music playing and muted the sound in the belief that my neighbours had cranked up the stereo. The range and depth of the audio is breathtaking.

Samsung haven't let me down. I feel that £849.99 was a lot to pay but compared to other makes and models it seems like a fair price and when I sit watching TV now with a smile across my face immersed in a sea of colours the price isn't important, I'm just glad I chose the LE37R87.
