Really good purchase, really pleased with the tv. Very easy to set up.

The Wifi Features work on it really well, I have a skype Camera in addition and the quality and pick up very good.

The only problem that I have found with this TV is that I cannot seem to find a memory stick or Hard Drive that is compatable for digital recording, although i am told that this is available when you find the right one.

It was a close call between this and an equivalent Sony but I'm glad I went for this. I can vouch for all of the internet / LAN functionality on this set as until I get the aerial feed in, we're just using it for streamed content. Samsung apps work very well and iplayer / YouTube / itvplayer etc interfaces are all very easy to use. I can confirm a Keysonic 450 wireless keyboard works immediately.

I've had it streaming music, photos and video to the Samsung Allshare app from an Android phone using Bubble Upnp (great app) from Google play.

Initial network setup took a little while with many updates required to get it working smoothly. I'd recommend using a wired connection to your router for the initial stages if possible.

I'm used to a plasma and was pleasantly surprised by the picture quality as well.

I ordered this on 31st December and it arrived on 2nd January. What service! I opened the box at about 6.50 pm, and it was all up and working by 7.30. It was SO easy! However, I haven't really had time to have a look at all the different things I can do with it, but at the moment it is great. Superb picture quality. Incredibly light. Highly recommended, and thank you Amazon for the amazingly quick delivery.

I've been thinking about getting a Smart TV for a while now but there were a couple of restrictions holding me back - limitation on the size due to location and also the once prohibitive costs. Therefore being able to find a 26" Smart TV for under £300 fitted the bill exactly.

Strangely, given the level of chat about the delivery service offered by HNDL (Yodel), my package arrived at lunchtime, on the appointed day, all sealed up and no signs of any damage.

Inside the box was a lightweight (about half the weight of the 26" LG it replaced) TV, with just about all the connections needed to slot straight into the space vacated by the LG. Apart from having to put a Cat5 patch lead and the power lead in (the Samsung has a figure of 8 connector rather than the now standard Euro plug), it was easy to plug all the existing connections back in.

The setup was very simple, just followed the onscreen instructions and, because the TV was connected to our home network, the latest software downloaded right away. Tuning the Freeview channels was also straightfoward and, there was the added bonus of the tuner being internet ready - which meant that those channels in the 200 range also work.

The Smart Hub is also very well connected - although I've yet to try all of the options out. This also updated automatically and downloaded access to BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, Lovefilm, Netflix and more, including a limited range of apps. As I have a subscription to Lovefilm, I signed in and we watched a movie. The broadband speed here is over 30mb/s and so absolutely no buffering at all. I found the onscreen keyboard a bit of a chore. However, whilst exploring the options available, I found the TV ready for a keyboard - just need to check out whether the USB ports will allow a wireless set up. I have also yet to check if when an external HDD is fitted, it will be possible to pause live TV (not an essential for me as I already have a PVR connected). Networking is fine - the Smart Hun function detects all my connected devices, NAS for instance (which has all my photos, digital music & videos stored on it).

The connectivity is very good, although I could have done with an extra HDMI input - 2 these days is just not enough to cope with all the connected kit. Happily, because the LG it replaced had only 2 HMDI sockets, I had already fitted a splitter cable, which automatically changes the input when a device is powered up. So, all the existing kit plays through the TV without any further intervention. There is just one SCART socket, plus composite and audio RCA sockets - The Y socket of the composite sockets doubles up as the A/V video input, so there is scope for none HDMI devices.

My only minor negative is that the screen is glossy and reflects light easily, meaning that in the evening, there has to be some care in which lamps are switched on - not essentially an issue if the main activity is viewing TV but problematic if there is someone reading the newspaper at the same time! I don't think that the glossy screens are peculiar to Samsung (although the LG had a matt screen). Other than that, the images are sharp with very good colour rendition - the HD is full 1080p. NB the Freeview Tuner is NOT HD capable, so don't buy this TV for the HD channels unless you have an alternative source, such as Sky/Virgin/Freesat etc.

All in all, in my view a good buy, well worth the outlay. There will be some out there who will prefer and be able to accommodate larger screens and I have no doubt that the 32in upwards versions will perform very well too. Recommended.

This TV is excellent for our bedroom. The wifi works perfectly, and we are able to use iplayer, Netflix, Lovefilm and even stream media from our PC wirelessly. Picture is excellent, although the viewing angle is quite narrow. Although it's not full HD I can't say the difference is noticeable. Great for the price.

Needed something unobtrusive as a 2nd tv & liked the idea of a smart tv to avoid needing a dvd player. I'm not techy but this worked straight out of the box & connected easily to our broadband. Linked into iPlayer, etc. within a few minutes. Excellent picture quality. Can't recommend highly enough.

This TV is just great. It picture quality is excellent, set up was so easy, and appears to do all it says on the tin. Catch up ( iplayer and itv player) uTV works well, it can play files stored on my main computer via wifi. I can stream content from my Motorola XOOM with no problems using a app from zappo tv . Using Samsung media player app(zappo TV) on android I can search YouTube and play it on my TV and browse any files on my main PC via wifi. Samsung smart hub has Netflix and love films so plenty of online choice for films etc. If you like gadgets and want a TV that does it all this just the job. Its a great buy.

Perfect, I already had an led samsung 37" smart tv in the living room and went for this wireless option in the bedroom.
I use the living room tv with my NAS box and was looking for a simular option for the bedroom - using the same brand also meant i did not have to train my wife on how to use!

The TV set was incredibly easy to setup - including the wirless, setup the digital channles and done!! easy peasy!

The streaming from my NAS to the TV is superb and quicker than my living room telly which has wired LAN connection

For me 10 out of 10
