Anyone got one yet ? Thoughts, etc ?

Are these new out, as Samsung website has very little info on it...?

Dabs are selling them for ~£975, so looks good value too

mr ooops · 03-06-2005, 11:07 AM

It must be a very new set, no info at all on Samsungs UK or Australian site ? I have a PDF being sent to me soon from Waratah.co.uk. I'll post any info not posted above soon !

This is a real bargain but I'm worried that the Empire price may be an error ?

mr ooops · 03-06-2005, 1:14 PM

I would be inclined to agree as its £200 cheaper than anywhere else i can see that have them, Roost should be able to confirm the price when his order is processed.

Dont want to buy just yet as i want to see some1's report on the screen 1st, but grrrr i dont wanna miss a bargain!!

I thought it was an error but according to my wife (they rang her at home) my order has been accepted and it should be delivered tomorrow. I think this is just the start of the new factories coming on line and driving the prices down at an even greater rate. I'm sure all the other manufacturers will now follow suit if they want market share. The price on the 26" screen is a bargain as well and I'm tempted to get one for the bedroom!

crazyswede · 03-06-2005, 1:20 PM

Went in to Currys today and they had the new freeview version in (LE32R51B) and it was £1199

I hear you man, I hear you

I love the look of this screen as well, really stunning, let's hope the PQ is as good eh ?

mr ooops · 03-06-2005, 1:21 PM

but im sposed to be paying my cc off!!!

paulfoley · 03-06-2005, 1:22 PM

OK the PDF is an official Samsung 2005 TV Brochure. It lists the same spec as above but does not mention the latency. The set also has a brother called the LE32R41BD which is the same set but with a built in Freeview Box.

This is really annoying, I want to order now before the price rises but if its laggy or smeary I dont want it !

Anyone care to ring Samsung for the answer (my job precludes it) ?

smartn · 03-06-2005, 1:23 PM

fragmaster - think of all the cheap nights in you could have watching your new LCD screen, you'll soon have the credit card paid off

mr ooops · 03-06-2005, 1:24 PM

all u buggers ordering them, it will be out of stock by the time i do it

last time i post a link up..................

only kidding, dont forget piccies and feedback to the lucky ones getting in the next few days

David Mackenzie · 03-06-2005, 1:25 PM

The latency is supposedly 12ms.

Something you might find useful:

http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/n...248249&lang=EN

The manual for the AMERICAN equivalent version (so ignore the stuff about V-chip etc) - this does show that the TV allows for individual tweaking of the colours (pink, green, blue).

I've just ordered one. Wow. I'll tell you all what I think!
Also if this turns out to be a dud (which seems very unlikely), I do have 8 days to return it via the Long Distance Selling Regulations I believe.

ive just sold a sanyo z2 / screen and loads of dvds to help pay it off, my wife would kill me if i order 1 with that money, thought 12m int free is tempting

smartn · 03-06-2005, 1:35 PM

manual for anyone interested is here :-

Roost · 03-06-2005, 1:53 PM

Course i'll take some pics of it frag

Got the Xb going in via component, gc via component and dc via vga so should look pretty good

southpaw · 03-06-2005, 1:53 PM

Hi

For those that have recieved theirs can you answer whether the tv can handle football??

I took my Tevion 32" back as it couldn't.

Also pics would be great

David Mackenzie · 03-06-2005, 2:07 PM

Glad you can take pics Roost, I'd take some myself, but I just sold a digital camera and now it looks like I won't have another for a while

Might take my Tevion 32" back as the Tv PQ is not the best

. If I take back might go for one of these

RockySpieler · 03-06-2005, 4:51 PM

I glanced through the 65 page manual (linked previously). On page 60ish there is a specification this details display resolutions, 1360x768 max, but also stays DVI does not support PC.

This could be a typo, or a problem if you want to get the best out of the screen with WMVHD movies.

HuwieHex · 03-06-2005, 5:57 PM

Thanks to Fragmaster for the price info at Empire Direct. I have just ordered one at £761.02 + £34.99 delivery and will post again when I receive it.

mr ooops · 03-06-2005, 6:13 PM

on a side note any of u lot taking extended warranties? i tend not to on normal electrical goods, but is it worth it with lcds?

handsy · 03-06-2005, 6:13 PM

Ugh, just phoned, they only have 1 left, and you can't have it if you want to take out a finance option !
Next batch not due for a couple of weeks.....I'm gonna have to be patient

Roost · 03-06-2005, 6:54 PM

Sad that they only got one but least i know i should have one, my order still just saying accepted and status as allocated though

Handsy, with able to buy it takes a week to sort out the credit anyway (which is why they wont let u have last 1) by the time they send u the paperwork, u sign and send back to A2B they then get in touch with empire to say release the tele, if i were u id carry on and order1 get the paperwork out the way and that way u get 1 when they come back in

Roost, from what i remember from the last item i ordered from ED, thats the normal practice Allocated is a good thing then tomorrow it should be a case of they phone you with a delivery date, i'll keep my pinkies crossed 4 u.

Im going for the 26" when its comes into stock as its purely a gaming screen i need so will be sat only 7 feet away and 32 will be too big (if i order the 32" the wifey will try and nick it for our main telly and i'll get the crappy 28" we have in our lounge) which would defeat the reason of getting a hi def screen.

Okies cheers dude, hope they realise i won't be at my daytime no. tomorrow with it being a saturday!
