What size model is that?

I'm currently looking at the 26" variant

What can you say about it so far?

Cheers,

what i will say for now is i am very very impressed and delighted to say the least. the built in freeview is a great picture. my pc looks fab on it and my xbox360 is outstanding.
i got mine for that price also.

what will you be using the screen for in general ?

Most of the time: A bit of TV, and a lot of DVD's

But It'll be rigged up to the PC too, so I'm sure some 'wireless keyboad gaming' from my bed willl soon follow

All of the R74's have an 8ms responce time :eek:

Spec: http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/television/tftlcd/le26r74bdxxeu.asp?page=Specifications

Which will actually make it faster than my 17" Iiyama TFT :rolleyes:

dont know. how would i check ?
cant see anything in the manual.

pinkaardvark · 3 Aug 2006 at 15:28

Samsungs generally all do 1:1 via VGA and state in manual not to use dvi/hdmi for PC use.

movingtables · 3 Aug 2006 at 22:38

That would be good, it might finally sway me

My main problem is space!

I'm going to wall mount it? Actually, during your potential review, is there any chance you could give me the 'real-life' dimensions of this set? WxH?

I seem to be getting conflicting reports on its measurements from different places

I'm strictly limited to a 70cm width...

Cheers, the pictures look great btw!

The Sony S2010 measures 66cm wide x 52cm from bottom of base to top of TV and the base is about 22cm deep if you're interested in that TV.

Hi mate ,

Could you do a few close up pics of the tv displaying windows please. Kinda like that Xbox 360 dashboard shot. I just wanted to see the text size and clarity ( open a webpage perhaps with detail like bbc)
I am thinking of a similar setup. I was wondering if you can see or read anything from sitting in a sofa 2-3M away from the screen.

Cheers again

Sid

hi sid i havent got much time just now and i'm also awful with a camara.
however i can tell you i surf in bed laying down and i can read the screen fine about 4 foot away.

when the xbox360 is on the first thing i noticed (connected via component) was just how amazingly clear the picture and text was.
