Good for still images. Disadvantages for sports fans. Synchronization problems with satellite receivers.

Who has a good HD receiver and looks like peaceful programs about animals or landscapes, will be this LCD TV excited during operation via HDMI cable from the brilliance and sharpness of the HD picture. About Scart images are normally good. But those who like sports programs with fast motion and panning looks like football broadcasts, which will delay the movement, the notice "floating away" the image in the HD mode. While it is in this Samsung device is not as strong as with other manufacturers, but it can be seen.

Second disadvantage: When panning of a sunny part of the playing field in the shadow of the LCD TV has problems to prevent the blooming of the image. The edge comes out of the shadows in front of goal, the image is then much too bright, and its brightness when the LCD is back under control, the ball wriggles already on the net. The header itself was barely visible. This can my tube TV better.

Not every disturb these "peculiarities", looking forward. So I returned the unit back and prefer to stick to my old tube TV, which, although the sharpness and brilliance of the LCD TV is missing, but it is much more comfortable with moving images. I do not have the interview with Phillip Lahm after the game so everyone can see his beard stubble. So sharp the image is actually! However, the disadvantages outweigh in my case.

Problems of unknown type existed in the synchronization of my Technisat HD S2 Digicorder with the Samsung LCD TV. I had ordered me three different AmazonBasics HDMI cable, but with only one came to the image when LCD TV. While the other cable transmitted the resolution of a digital display on the screen, so we had contact, but transferred a picture. And the one cable that transmitted the image did not work with every test and did it with all connection attempts only once, also to transfer sound. Why is it that could suddenly and then not again, remained unclear. Without modifying the settings in the receiver and the TV was functioning so every time you turn a surprise. There were no problems in this HDMI connection to the DVD player or the PC. Whether this was due to the cables or the equipment was hard to tell. In any case, the hope has not met on simple "plug and play".

And finally, to be read in all the Samsung LCD TV criticism of the speakers. It is unfortunately again entitled even with this latest model. A pity that such a brilliant picture so must have a tinny sound.
