New 26" LCD Sony KDL-26U3000 or Samsung LE26R87?

[Jake101]

My mum and Dad said I can have a new TV and I've narrowed it down to these 2, my friend has a 23" Samsung and said it's really good, but I used my Grandma's one and it has a slow response time which I found quite annoying.
The samsungs design is much better but I want the one that will give me the best picture. I will be using it for my 360 and obviosuly watching freeview.
Thanks for your time!

I had the same problem. However, the U series are a bit older, so I wanted the S3000 series (design is also better).

The big difference between the Sony and the Samsung is the price. The Sony is about 100 euros more than the samsung online. I looked a bit further, and I got a 32R81B for even less than the Sony.

What I hear is the sony better than the Samsung, but if it isn't going to be your primary TV (bedroom) I suggest the Samsung...

That Samsung is much better than Sony 26U3000, and as you said, it looks nice.

hello

now first off this is a hard choice

but i have got a sony bravia kdl-26u3000 and tbh its bloody awesome and build qulatiy is good

i got mine in jan 2008 for 350 quid

and its perfect i use it mainly for ps3 just for the graphics!

sony only made this telly in nov 2007 so its not old!


as for the samsung the are good tellys too and very sharp colours you really notice and watching hd channels on it come out crystal clear

but if i had to decide i would choose the sony

im not biased on this decision but to be honest sony is far better and tend to last longer
