Donal, Northampton Sports and games fan

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Excellent picture quality and relatively easy to operate, although the instruction booklet is a must if any problems do occur and it is not easy to find the suitable page for the various problems. I would, however, recommend the set to other possible owners.
Bad points:: The on/off controls etc. are positioned at the side and are not easy to see when being used. .

  Lesley replied on 22 May 2011
Hello

If I bought the Samsung TV and hooked it up to my existing freeview box, would the respective tuners from the different appliances clash?

Geoff asked on 05 Jun 2011
1. No, they wouldn't clash, but I'm not sure why you'd want to use a separate Freeview box as the Samsung has it built in! If you really wanted to use the box, you have to plug your aerial into it and then a cable from that into the TV set.
