Samsung LE40M87 - Expert Reviews

Review summary: With a 1980 x 1050 resolution, the M87 is a wonder to look at

Pros: Excellent specification, Great price

Cons: Standard-def pictures not perfect

Verdict: Even so, the M86 has impressive image upscaling ability, and handles the task with more aplomb than most. This is a truly great TV, and, if anything, £900 just seems too cheap

Review summary: Here's a preface: we liked this TV so much, we bought one. A journalist spending £900 is not something that happens often, but there's a good reason in this case. Firstly, an utterly unbelievable spec, starting with a 15000:1 contrast ratio

Pros: Excellent specification, Great price

Cons: Standard-def pictures not perfect

Verdict: A fantastic LCD that takes the format to new levels of quality

Review summary: It's nearing the end of its life cycle, with Samsung having recently announced its new LED backlit range for USA, which will no doubt be coming out here shortly as well, but Samsung were kind enough to send us a review sample for their current flagship LC

Review summary: - We all like big don't we, big cars, big houses, so why not big TVs? Well that's what Samsung is hoping with its whopping 52-inch LCD television as apart of its Bordeaux range. But does it impress? We get watching to find out.

Pros: Size, screen, 3 HDMI slots

Cons: Poor broadcast picture quality really shows up, dust attracts to it like a fly to you know what

Verdict: The M87 is a very good television let down by non HD quality signals

Review summary: If there's a TV out there right now with more up-front appeal than Samsung's LE52M87BD, then we can't think of it. It's a vision in gloss black, and at 52 inches it's the biggest LCD Samsung has done to date

Pros: Peerless black level for an LCD, Good connections, Superbly crisp colours and bright picture

Cons: Some issues with motion handling

Verdict: Further proof that the old plasma v LCD arguments are becoming less and less relevant. It's certainly not perfect, but it's one of the finest big-screen LCDs we've seen to date
