Just spent an hour reading up on this and seems a good product for money.

LE32R74BDX is £600

Any one have good or bad experiences with this product??

Thanks in advance

thats a 'gimmick' that samsung use i believe, actual is a lot lower. It auto senses and adjusts itself however i have heard its a bit of a sales pitch and makes little difference to actual picture quality

I bought one at the weekend (32") and I'm very impressed with it

Normal Sky picture is ok but connect up a Xbox and it looks superb! I downloaded the GoW trailer in HD last night and the picture was amazing.

Just gotta save to get Sky HD now

Brilliant TV. Took me ages to finally choose a TV and I opted for a 32" R74. Cannot fault it, it's ace.

Why so you can pay for it and then not get it Dave?

Have you taken delivery of your Toshiba yet?
