Advantages: One of those "greatest film ever" regulars, and with good reason.
Disadvantages: None.

...There is something inherently eerie, otherworldly, about silent pictures. Whatever the merit of the film itself, the faint flickering of the frames (however good the restoration), the grain, the occasionally over-theatrical performances (I'm generalising horribly here, I know. There is nothing theatrical about many of the performances in, for example, Benjamin Christensen's masterpiece Haxan), even the nature of the musical soundtrack, disembodied and carrying on with little synchronisation with movements, actions onscreen... Eerie, yes. And how much more so when these elements are wrapped around a picture already reeking of the uncanny? A picture, perhaps, like Robert Weine's 1919 The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari is a masterpiece. Routinely propping up the top end of Best Films Ever Made lists... Read review

Advantages: nice flat screen, sharp clear picture
Disadvantages: can the cat knock it over? not hd ready?

...a nice blue standby light, which makes a change from the boring red ones that most tv's have. The television is suitable for wall mounting and we were told that brackets are sold separately, but we found some in our box, so which is the mistake I don't know! The remote control comes with batteries provided and is slimline and very easy to use. SETUP ++++++ My husband took the television out of the box, connected it to our various applicances and then stood it on the tv cabinet. He then switched it on and with the help of the remote control managed to install all 5 channels within minutes. The television is not too heavy and is easy to move around. It has a long stand with feet that help to balance it out. The remote control is great and it comes with an easy to understand guide book SAFETY +++++++ My only concern... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic picture quality, nice sound, ease of use and a good looking TV
Disadvantages: One HDMI

...If quality and style is what you are looking for then the Samsung LE32R74BDX 32" HD is the TV for you. This screen is one of the better looking on the market and looks great both on the side with the supplied stand or mounted on the wall (wall mount not supplied). The picture quality is phenomenal. The TV has DNIe (Digital Natural Image engine) which helps to 'step up' the inputted source. This means a great quality pictures even from my DVD player connected through one of the two scart sockets and from the built in freeview receiver. This negates the need to update a DVD player for one with a HDMI connection. The screen produces up to 12.8 billion colours and has a contrast ratio of 5000:1 giving great definition between light and dark. In fact the two main disadvantages with LCD TV's have been solved with this screen... Read review

Advantages: Stylish, Great Picture Quality, Easy to Set Up, Fantastic for Gaming
Disadvantages: Lacking in volume

...Just after Christmas I felt it was high time I got myself a new TV. The old tube TV was beginning to show it's age, and the range of sleek black Samsung LCD TV's caught my eye. I made the order, and soon after a beautiful, stylish television arrived at my house. 32 inches of great picture quality. I plugged it in, plugged in my HDMI cable to DVD player and first checked out a BBC natural history DVD. The first thing I noticed was that the clarity and colour depth was incredible straight out of the box. Nature has never looked so beautiful on a screen! It was fairly painless to begin changing colour settings, and i'd soon set up a preset by using the samsungs easy to understand menu. So far so good. After switching to TV mode, a quick glance at the user manual explained how to tune in my terrestrial TV, and less than 15 minutes... Read review

Advantages: Strong and sturdy, bags of room
Disadvantages: Only available in beech effect, some of the intructions were not very clear

...After getting a few problems with our sky box turning off for no reason, it was suggested by one of Sky’s technical advisors that it may have been caused by the box over heating due it being positioned on the top of our video recorder. As a temporary measure, we ended out putting our video recorder and Sky box, on the basic TV/Video stand that we had, so that they were no where near each other, with out TV positioned on our table that formed part of a highchair. All seemed to be fine for a while, until we noticed that the table had become somewhat wobbly, so there was a strong possibility of it collapsing at any moment, to the cost of a fairly new TV. It was simply no good; we really did need to buy something a lot stronger and much more suitable that would accommodate for our increasing electrical gadgets, before the whole lot came...
