Graham, Saffron Walden

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Fantastic picture quality after making some adjustments. Great facilities. It works brilliantly for me as a second PC (DVI) monitor.
A quality product a reasonable price. Glad I stayed away from Samsung's cheaper series 4 & 5.
I'm extremely pleased with it. Highly recommended if you only need 32".
Bad points:: The default picture settings on broad cast TV are truly awful. So bad I would have sent it back! After changing to movie mode and tweaking some other settings, it's really excellent..
Terrible sound, as I suppose one might expect from built in speakers (I never use them). The sound from the headphone jack is out of sync unless you pull plug out and in again! Another minor point, mpg files recorded off air on my media pc play in the wrong aspect ratio over the network and you can't change it.
