I trust everyone enjoyed their long weekend and can’t wait to go back to work :). I got a little distracted with all the sports action over this period, especially with the recently concluded Premier League and the ongoing final at the World Championship Snooker.
But I got there in the end. So here’s the finished article: Samsung LE32R87BDX review
Hope you enjoy it. Please post all your questions in the forums. We’re working on the Toshiba right now, but we should find some time to answer your queries.
I have a tip for your site, how about adding some sort of ratings based on the review… this way people reading and looking to buy can take that, like on IMDB and gamespot I consider those ratings trustworthy.
In the *cons* for this review, you put the fact that it won’t accept a 1080p signal in bold. Is this something which other 32 inch screens accommodate? Also, do HD-DVD players allow you to specify the maximum output resolution? I’ll be distributing the HD signal via component around the house, and I was considering this TV for the bedroom. If I want to watch an HD movie in bed, will I be able to set the output res of the HD-DVD player to 1080i?
Many thanks, and keep up the great work!
Again a great review.
Any plans to review the Samsung LE-40R8x LCD TVs?
Samsung has many 8th Generation LCD TVs in its platter with R series, S Series and M Series. What is the difference between these 3 8th generation LCD TVs and what are their strengths and weaknesses. I am more interested in 40″ TVs
@ Adam
I think Toshiba and Panasonic claims to accept 1080p input via HDMIon their 32 inch models. Yes our Toshiba HDE1 player allows resolution to be changed (480, 576, 720, 1080i max)
@ Lacix
No plans at the moment. LE40R8x will have different panels (AMO MVA or SPVA) with possibly better blacks, contrast ratio and viewing angle. It remains to be proven though.
@ Fintian
Off hand the difference is probably in the number in HDMI inputs, HDMI 1.2 vs 1.3, native resolution of panel and the use of clear panel. I suspect most of the 40 inch panels will use AUO MVA or SPVA panels but internal circuity could be different, giving different colours and contrast ratios. One thing is for sure, Samsung is the team to beat in the league now.
