Anyone Know anything about WS32Z409 Slimfit??

HyperFi are selling this slim fit 32 inch HD, appears to be a euro model
http://www.hyperfi.co.uk/default.asp...sung_SlimfitHD

for £500, although a quick scan suggests that its cheaper from some euro sites.

Its ment to be HD and 'slim' but also CRT.

It is a CRT that is HD ready. They have had them for ages in america but they were never brought out here until now.

The slim-fit is is the type of tube samsung use that is a lot less deep than a coventional CRT but has some known geometry problems with the picture.

Also you can get it in Comet for £450

I belive the one in comet is different though, as the samsung uk site does not have this model but the german one does.
