Review:
For a good 3-4 months I was waiting to buy the previous model but as soon as I had the funds this upgrade came out, I had collected extensive research and concluded that I was going to get this screen, and I don't regret it one bit. When it comes to 'black levels few companies produce it as well as Samsung'. The performance of the LCD is easily as good and most often better than the performance you'll get from any CRT but relative to the source (PS3 or Free view via outdoor Ariel). This particular screen is perfect for the bedroom but there are a few faults, one in particular is that as good as the sound can be, at high pitch levels there is some distortion this is simple solved by connecting speakers to it and the assumption is that if you can afford this screen you can afford speakers, I'd advise the purchase of Logitech's superb Z-2300's, another problem was that PS2 games just looked horrid and this was through component cables so do not buy this if your intention is to play last generation games on it.
One thing I must advise, is seeing if you can create a set up whereby you can connect your PC to the screen, the results are just outstanding, movies via DVD have never looked so good. This being a new model of Samsungs R series means that it will cost a lot more initially and though the results prove its worth it the trade off in price by getting the lower model (LE-26R7 series) may be preferable to those whose requirements are little less demanding such as just needing a screen for next gen gaming. In summary this screen excels in displaying movies as it produces black and contrast levels that no other screen can at this competitive price a great investment for the future. It must be noted that the issue of getting finger prints over the screen is not even an issue it will probably require once or twice cleaning per week at most.
One thing I definitely found difficult especially being a perfectionist is that no matter how many positive reviews a product got I always was still uncertain until every finite detail was covered therefore for those perfectionist all I can conclude is that this screen resolutions are superb but most importantly contrast ratios and color saturations are exceptional and set up is easy with Samsungs instant plug and play feature but collect other reviews to conclude if you want to purchase this screen, from what I know sony screens and Toshiba screens slightly outperform Samsungs but these new models may have changed that. Apologies for the long review but its because I wanted to cover most of the issues and solutions that I had when hunting for a screen.
I must also add for people who have a wii and want to play on this LCD the picture quality is impressive and is good enough to warrant its purchase but one note is that Zelda for the wii doesn't look as good because of the simple fact that was made for the GameCube ironically though GameCube games though being last gen look impeccable when played through the wii and so this may also apply to PS2 games when played through PS3.
