Samsung Le40f86bdx

[Panda On Smack]

So tempted to buy one of these

SAMSUNG LE40F86BDX40" 1080p HD READY LCD TELEVISION (IN STOCK)

£954

Anybody own this model?

I looked at that, and got one of these instead. Cheaper and bigger with not much difference in picture quality:

Currys - Shop for Plasma and LCD Flat Panel TV - Toshiba 42X3030D 42" HD Ready 1080p digital LCD TV

I was looking at TVs recently (well, all the time) and the Toshiba Z series caught my eye.
1080p, 100hz, 24fps blah blah blah. The only thing is that I don't need 1080p and it would mangle up my SD broadcasts even worse than a 720p set.

You can get 37" for around 800 quid and a 42" for about 950.

I ended up buying a wall mount for my projector instead.

Hi Panda

My brother has another Samsung 40" Samsung model and it's really nice; good picture quality, lots of inputs, and a nice design. However, he only bought it because he got a big discount; Samsung displays aren't known for being cheap. As the others suggest, if you don't need a big name brand or ultra-high spec, you can save yourself a lot of money.

Kind regards

I thought they were known for being cheap.

Hi TdC

Good luck, I hope it's everything you want Will you hook it up to your PC?

Kind regards

yeah Jonts, some streaming thing I guess, depends if I will be getting my mate's ps3 or not. then I can wifi to the '3 and then hdmi into the LCD (I hope)

 

[Embattle]

Actually Samsung can be considered as both, the thing is they have quite a range with multiple models at each size which in themselves tend to range from cheaper to more expensive......either way they make some top quality panels.

 

[Yaka]

you can stream to ps3, and hdmi conn to tv should not be problem

you may also like to know certain hd rips off tv/hddvd/bluray that are .mkvs can play on the ps3 via streaming, of the hdd or dvd the app is called mkv2vob takes a few minutes to convert the file to somat the ps3 plays then off you go

thing ive noticed most about sammy and sharp lcds is that they drop price a fair bit after release.

This is the same TV my brother purchased a few weeks ago. Amazing picture quality compared to my Samsung I got a year ago.

The F series is the more expensive of the range.
