LE32R74BDX owners & TV geeks

[Turkish]

Thinking of getting one of these so appreciate any pics of yours in action, opinions on them (if you've owned them none of this "I've read the specs and such and such should be better" shite that normally get trotted out on here) and any alternative suggestions. Only looking for a 32" screen and dont want to spend over £700 ideally.

Ta.

Dave admin has the above Sony also and seems to rate it. I have been looking for a few weeks now and the Sony is the one that makes the most sence.

Certainly seem to rate it from that link but £1100 is more than I want to spend tbh.

LOL stalker, I have both the sony and the samsung, both great. Samsung has the edge for xbox360, sony has the edge for freeview.

2HDMI instead of 1 and better speakers/amp I'm guessing being the difference?

LOL stalker,

Who do you think has been sending you them cupcakes?!

I say the Sony makes the most sense, but i will probably change my mind again before payday, Cheapest i can get the the Sony is £935 and i justified the cost difference today between lesser priced models and the Sony.

But if i am standing in the shop and there is a 32" lcd, for £600 that will do the same thing, with me probably none the wiser between there differences, will i hold my nerve?

check out www.directtvs.co.uk and go to 32 inch and the mirai with free stand ,superb tv for £459.

 

[Turkish]

I probably wouldn't. I need to see them in the flesh or for starters some shots from anyone on here thats got them. The thing that makes me wary of having a look at them in currys and the like is it's never a fair representation. I've seen the same set look great in one and shite in another. So many antenna splitters or different sources. Sets running dvd's or digital transmissions or even down to them not being set up by the spotty teenagers that work there all plays a part.

[marksman]

My LE32R71BD. Had a few LCD's over the last 3 years and this is by far the best.

 

[dk]

must say i am liking the white, its something different.

 

[Turkish]

Cheers griff, similar specs to the 74BDX but i white case? or is it more than a cosmetic difference. Do you use it for gaming or just DVD's/Digital/Sky ?

 

[Griff]

Same specs as the 74BDX with the exception of colour.

It's used for a mix of TV, XB360 and watching HD stuff off the PC.

 

[marksman]

lol at the info sticker still on the casing

 

[Turkish]

I think I'd go for the black I've already got my 20" iMac sat in my room so would be too much white for me, pics of it do look good though

 

[Griff]

The last 2 pics taken about 20 seconds after it was removed from the box? Yeah Hilarious...

 

[Griff]

It was an insurance replacement after my burglary and to be honest I was a bit dubious about it being white. I had the choice of a few models but decided to go with the Sammy. Some of my mates love the colour and others can't stand it.

 

[Turkish]

Think its a marmite thing tbh. I'd probably play it safe with black at least i know i wouldnt get bored of it that way, white does look quite good though.

 

[Griff]

My cousin has the Black version and it does look excellent as well. If you need nay other info on it you know where to find me Loony.

 

[Moby]

the v2000 bravia is simply awesome

Spot on appreciate it. Be interesting to see any other comments and pics from the other LCD owners on here. I might well pester you once ive gone and had a look at the tosh, sammy and sony in the shops assuming i can find the same models in stores as online.

 

[philbolton]

I have had my samsung for a couple of weeks now and i am extremely impressed. The picture is good on SD signals like sky but when the xbox 360 is plugged in it is unbelievable! The sounds on it is not that special but if its plugged into alternative speakers it doesnt really need worrying about. The best thing about it though is how it looks when its switched off, the design is fabulous and as a TV is a focal point in a room it really makes a room look good.

 

[Acejon]

I've had mine for nearly 4 months now and love it. Off-air broadcasts are pretty solid though you can imagine they look a bit ropey compared with HD content.

The eggbox looks the nuts using VGA, I have both component and VGA but for me, VGA with few tweaks is the way forward, plus frees up space for my Sony ES DVD player to use components.

Overall, awesome. No doubt some of the more expensive units are better, some considerably, but for value, looks and performance, I cant fault it

I bought mine from Costco, but have noticed quite a few places doing it for under £600 and some places nearer £500. At that price, it really isnt worth paying 7, 8 or even £900 quid for something you may well replace in a few years time

 

[Turkish]

The samsung appeals most at the moment to me on VFM and looks grounds it must be said.

 

[philbolton]

Buy it mate!

 

[Karen]

I do too!!! Would have gone nice with my iMac too :dapprove: Didn't see the white when I bought my Samsung over a year ago, think I might have been tempted.

 

[peter182]

ive got the samsung N73BDX bloody mint paid £750 for it well worth the money

 

[Turkish]

I've had a look at a few sets tonight and I'm going to go for the samsung. Anyone got experience of dealing with laskys, tribal uk, RGB direct or any other suggestions on somewhere reliable and competatively priced?

 

[Turkish]

Anyone?

 

[Griff]

Dealt with Empire Direct quite a few times and they've been fine.
