New TV, few questions.

[BeanEgg]

I've just ordered a Samsung LE32A456C 32" LCD TV (http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/store/cur_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1865021104.123402766 2@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccjadeggldfledcflgceggdhhmdfho.0&page=Product&sku=725233), (Coming tomorrow) and I'm wondering if you lot think it was a good choice.

This will be just for personal use btw.

Also, does anyone have this? Had any problems? Or any down-sides?
What's in the box when you bought it?

Thanks! :D

Yeah, it's a reasonable choice of TV. In your price range i probably would have gone for an LXD8 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5293623/c_1/1|category_root|Home+entertainment+and+sat+nav|121 08813/c_2/2|cat_12108813|Televisions|12108983/c_3/3|cat_12108983|32+inch+LCD+TVs|12108984.htm with the one you chose coming a close second as aparantly the Samsungs can be a little slow at changing channels. Only thing is is that the LXD8 is a lesser model of the LXD80, so having less HDMI ports and not PC input.

You could have got your TV for the same price at John Lewis with a free 5 year waranty but unfortunately they're not in stock at the moment. http://www.johnlewis.com/230507074/Product.aspx

Pretty much what I was told by someone else. :P
Panasonic or Samsung. Something with a long warranty. We have something like a 2 years guarantee but I can't remember, I'll check on the paper later.

Also, can you connect a PC to the Samsung one?

+Rep :)

What else would a TV be for!? :S

[scottish]

Could be for group room, like in school an area for specific pupils, could be loads of stuff (mind you most would use projectors now but not everyone has money for projectors) :P

It could be used within a family. It could also be shared with someone. :rolleyes_

Exactly.

Got the TV, it has 3 HDMIs, PC input, slow at switching on but its fine. PC is a bit huge when I'm using it.

All is fine so far. Thanks to everyone who helped. :)

Cant remember what came in the box though, just the plugs & manuals i think (Y)

great Tv, as far as im concerned. Although as said before, the sound could be better.

Yes indeed.
In the box came the TV, power cable, manual, stand and some flap to cover the TV if its on the wall.

Projectors are useless in a school environment if its going in an enterance hall or something because of the light ;)
