I firstly purchased the Samsung LE22A457 but had to return this due to bad backlight leakage. I am pleased to say I should have gone with my original instinct and purchased this set in the first place! It is a lovely looking TV and I need to disagree with the review saying the sound is tinny – compared to the 22″ 457 it is a marked improvement and much better than other 22″ TV’s I listened to in a local retailer. For a TV which most people will use in a second room it does the job well.

We purchased this for the bedroom to view Sky TV sent via RF from the Lounge input so I cannot comment on the freeview tuner/features, but the picture quality I receive from the Sky box is very good.

One thing to note – if you are looking at HD Ready 22″ TV’s be careful of the resolution you choose. This TV has a resolution of 1366 x 768 which is perfect 16:9 ratio. Many other sets (including the A457 I purchased before) offer 1680 x 1050. Whilst on paper this looks better it does not give a true 16:9 ratio and the picture has be be stretched vertically to fill the screen meaning some images can look distorted. You can always run it in 16:9 mode but this will result in black bars top and bottom of the screen, something I certainly don’t want on all my normal broadcast TV!

All in all very happy with the TV purchase and would recommend it.

I bought this for my son’s bedroom. I was a little concerned about some of the reports about the sound being tinny, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sound is fine for a small TV. It looks stylish and was easy to set up in a few minutes which was great, if like me you are not good with technology. It does exactly what we wanted, which was for a second tv for my son to watch tv and dvds, and play games. Also Amazon were cheaper than any other online retailer, and the service was good, delivery was 1 day earlier than expected which was a bonus.

This TV was very easy to install and use. The quality of the picture is excellent. The sound is a little tinny (as others have commented) but better if set to ‘Movie’.

I would thoroughly recommend it.

Bought this TV (LE22B450) from Amazon and firstly I must say what a great price and fantastic service. Used Express service which was a little extra but delivery was within 48 hours. Carried out exhaustive research on the web and in some electrical retailers and decided on this. Bought for occasional use in a conservatory. Setting up was very straight forward and once basic calibration undertaken, I was left with an excellent Freeview picture. While sound, as other reviewers have commented, is not great, it`s certainly acceptable. I have previously bought Toshiba & Panasonic tv`s so was venturing into the unknown with Samsung but have been very pleased so far. It has all the inputs/outputs most people will want (HDMI, Component, Scart, etc) and also looks fantastic!

Excellent product perfect for a small lounge or kitchen Ease to navigate through set up menus. We especially like the option to set up a favourite channel list which can be used to change channel rather than having to scroll through the entire channel list or remember the digital channel number.

Highly recommend
