First impressions
Arrived this morning and it is a great looking little netbook so I will be sad to return it to Amazon becuase of a faulty wireless card. I can only reach 24Mbps wireless connection, even when connected to an N router. Samsung tried to help but simply suggested i return it as faulty.
I will have another one, the extra 1″ on the screen makes a big difference when sitting next to my NC10, so don’t be put off, i just hope yours works better than mine. I’m sure the next one wil be fine. The good points are the design, the screen, the keyboard, the weight etc etc, just this one thing that let’s my machine down.
Time for Amazon to display their first class returns policy i think...... Read more

Great Purchase
I bought this as I have read a lot of reviews on this product and I couldn’t find a bad word written about it. The upscalling of normal DVD’s is fantastic I can’t believe the picture quality of my old DVD’s. The only down side is that it’s a bit limited on the playback formats. Wi-Fi dongle included so you don’t have to hard wire it into your wireless network. I read 1 review which said this was difficult to set up. I did it in about 5 minutes if you know all your network settings. The load speed on this machine for blu-ray disks is staggering. Overall I think this is a great purchase, there are obviously other better machines out there but you can get this one delivered now for £199.00. I found it easy to use and set up and I think it’s a great bit of kit especially when connected up to my Samsung TV...... Read more

Excellent All Rounder
I purchased this TV from Amazon, and as usual it arrived when it was supposed to and the price was a lot better than on the high street.
Set up was quick and easy, just a few screws for the stand then turn it on and answer a couple of questions and it sets itself up in a less than 5 minutes.
I bought the TV for my parents to put in the living room and it is brilliant, they didnt want anything larger than 32″ so there wasnt really any point in getting a 1080p set. The picture quality is excellent on freeview and even better with Sky and to be honest just as good as my larger 1080p Sony Bravia. There are a few presets and many individual settings you can adjust to get the picture how you like it. Sound quality is very good too considering the size of the speakers, especially if you have a play with a few of the options.
The remote is uncluttered and easy to use and the on screen freeview guide is pretty good too.
One thing that may be a problem for some users is that this TV only has one scart socket, but it does have 3 HMDMI sockets so shouldnt be too much of a problem.
Overall a great TV at a great price…..Best Buy Samsung LE32B450C4 32-inch Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV..... Read more
