Review Summary: Awesome for 360 and Wii HD gaming.

Overall Score: 5/5

Review: I bought myself an xbox 360 day after boxing day and felt really left out running it on my 15" portable (50hz) in my bedroom.

After ALOT of reserch i decided to buy this Samsung 19" LCD TV in Glossy white (it looks awesome)and WHAT a buy it was! Using the Official HD VGA Cable for the 360 (bought seperatly for £16.99) i am now running Gears of War in the TV's native resolution of 1400x900 (16:10 Widscreen very slightly stretched vertically) @ 8ms which is better quality then 720p! (this TV does support progressive scan via HD VGA or DVI)

The picture quality is superb and it has made my gaming experience and movie watching experience greatly improved, I have compared the picture quality to my Dads 42" Panasonic HD Plasma and apart from sheer size the picture quality is well on par minus the glossy plasma effect.

This TV is perfect for running HD Games on your 360 and even tho it stats on the official website that it is not HD ready due to no composite or HDMI connections it does support upto 720p from any HD device that has a DVI or VGA connection lead so that would include Sky HD, Xbox 360 with HD Drive and Nintendo Wii for 480p! And its white so it looks awesome next to my Wii and 360.

One thing to point out is that the TV Tuner is abit dodgy while using a portable aerial so i would suggest getting a direct feed to it from a cable/sky box or fixed outdoor aerial for a perfect TV Picture or maybe try an indoor aerial booster via Freeview for a much better picture which i have tested and it was alot better if not perfect but i do not watch much TV anyways :)

The Sound could be louder but i just like the noise my chainsaw makes on Gears of War lol but for movie watching in the bedroom its more then loud enough for 30 watts but it does have a phono jack output so you could connect external powered speakers if you like your sound heavy.

all in all a very good product hence 5 stars.
