Hi,
Looking for some help.
The missus only wants to get a "small" TV for the front room (I've just bought a PJ for big screen action when required
so am not fretting too much) and I am leaning towards the Samsung LE26R73BD for it's looks more than anything else to be honest, and the fact that Samsungs seem to get half decent reviews these days in general.
However, I am a bit perturbed by the lack of trustworthy reviews I can find on this model (Home Cinema Choice online have ignored it for example) and the fact that getting a decent audition in a shop is very difficult (replicating home environment in a big shed is difficult and I can't find one of these on display in proper AV shops as I suppose it's not "proper" AV kit at this size!).
Anyone got any opinions on this model or any alternatives?
My priorities are (in order):-
1) Picture quality
2) Aesthetic design
3) Price - under £800
4) Digital Tuner
5) Component connections (No HDMI DVD at the mo but will probably get one at some point....)
Any views?
(PS we are also in the market for a cheapo PC (under £700), a Panasonic FX01 digital camera (seen for £200) and small 15/17" LCD for the bedroom (about £200) and a kettle!!)
Cheers for any help!
