Samsung LE52M87BDX Review
| by Andrew Fee |
9 August 2007 |
It's nearing the end of its life cycle, with Samsung having recently announced its new LED backlit range for USA, which will no doubt be coming out here shortly as well, but Samsung were kind enough to send us a review sample for their current flagship LCD.
Unfortunately, with this being my first review, I was badly prepared, and as all of my viewing is in a mostly light controlled room, there are very few photographs that show the actual television, rather, they were all cropped on the image of the screen itself.
