You use that TV as a monitor? I couldnt cope with the low resolution.

Mine is setup like this, although I took the TV off as needed the desk space, need to wallmount it the the right of my monitor for me to watch in bed

Head over to avfroums.com...theres a pretty good thread on LCD's

As with the samsung panels they sometimes ship with the lesser quality panel with there 32" screens,as i sent mine back as i didnt think much to it,I did buy another sammy though and made sure it had the better panel.

 

[b3nje]

to be honest i think its top notch.

i've compared it to others and the newer samsung models and i can not see a difference.

people also complain about the sound but i can not fault it either!

i have not found 1 problem or dislike about this TV!!! i love it

my xbox360 looks sexual on HD and the built in freeview is quick and accurate!

sky HD looks beautiful as well just going to order a HD player as we speak

 

[Adams_16v]

Cheers fo the replies, what model is your b3nje? it is the 32" ones im lookin at!

 

[Cheeky_Chappie]

Got this 4 weeks ago.. and im still in awe on the pic size and quality.. 55 inch and in glorious 1080P! Xbox motorstorm and xbox GOW look amazing on this. Thats my old 32inch Sony CRT next to it which has been shifted last week

 

[jamesp24]

[b3nje]

No. The sound will always come from the main picture/feed.

Yes you can have the tv sound. On the menu go down to the options below the one where you put on PIP. Its a picture of a speaker.

In that one go to sound select and select sub. Then you will hear tv instead of pc

 

[b3nje]

woo woo cheers!

 

[Griff]

Excellent tip. Never even realised you could do that.

 

[NOT! gary l]

I aint very good with anything technical so still havent used my samsung for anything else other than playing the ps3, i couldnt even get the t.v tuned in!! had it 4 months now, i just connected my telewest and away i went.

However as im moving house next week id like to know how to set it up for the freeview channels as i wont be renewing my telewest subscription.

Its a samsung LE40R74BD if that helps.

P.s i meant virgin media.

I'd start a new thread mate rather than hijack a thread designed to showcase people's set-ups.

Not hijacking, just didnt realise that there was seperate rules for seperate folk, i thought seeing as you were kind enough to help this i thought maybe you or someone else could help with mine.

Obviously not.

 

[Griff]

Jesus christ.. I was making a polite suggestion in the hope you'd get a better response..

 

[NOT! gary l]

Ok, ok just thought i was the only one being accused of hijacking when others have clearly posted questions also.

Incidentally, heres how it temporarily sits at my mothers on her usual 28" crt stand

 

[b3nje]
