+ Great picture with plenty of connection options

- Not wall mountable unless you purchase a J-Mount (Samsung product Code TWMB-2400). You can then attach the bracket to a VESA100 compliant wall mount.

Mo, M , “part time gamer”

+ It has all the right connections and input slots, good quality pictures, aestheticaly pleasing, ergonomic design

- does not have L + R Composite audio out, does not tilt downwards, not many presets for picture modes, switching picture modes and input sources is longer than previous models, blank screen when HD source switched off which can make you leave you TV switched on.

Krzysztof, London

+ *Image quality is nice and DTV image quality is better than I expected.
*Works for me as a 1920X1200 second monitor, which is really a lot of space to use.
*A lot of different inputs I would probably never use.
*Overall it looks nice.

- *a bit too massive, could be half thinner, and the outer frame, while it looks nice, is > 1 inch wide.
*remote could be better - it does not respond very well sometimes, I don't really know why all the remotes are exactly the same today as they were 20 years ago (both technology and build quality).
*stand is not really flexible enough, so to watch sth from bed from short distance, you need to put sth under the back of it.

George, Brighton, E.Sussex

+ Overall satisfied with Television picture quality,sound and appearance.

- Television wall mount TWMB2400 not available in UK. Currys do not advise this is special to this TV,and do not supply. Samsung sales also do not supply,their suppliers Lambda Tek have 15 on order and do not know when next delivery. Toronto,Canada have 5,
I am a Bi-amputee confined mostly to bed, and bought this TV for wall mounting in my bedroom which I am unable to do. Disappointed in Currys after sales service in this matter..

John, Bolton

+ Bright, crisp and clear screen, built in clear freeview and easy to set up. No dead pixels. Very handy monitor and second TV. Easy to swap between inputs with remote.

- Uneven backlight gives a six inch lighter horizontal patch across a black screen. Not keen on the rose red surround, would be better piano or plain black. Built in speakers not good, although I normally use external amp and speakers. Why has it still got a now useless analogue TV Tuner?

Product Features

Screen Size in Inches	24
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Screen Resolution (pixels)	1920x1200 (WUXGA)
The number of pixels the screen has. The more you have, the more detail the screen can display, given a high quality source. A breakdown of resolutions can be found on Wikipedia here
Response Time in ms	5
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	20000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Brightness in Candela per square metre	300
Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.
DVI Port	Yes
DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface. Like VGA, DVI is used to connect laptops, desktops and other devices to HD TVs or monitors. You can buy a small adaptor to convert your digital DVI socket to an analogue VGA socket for use with older monitors if needed.
HDMI Interface	2
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
VGA Port	No
VGA stands for Video Graphics Array. The VGA socket is used for connecting a monitor or TV to your computer. If you want to use an external monitor, TV or projector on your laptop make sure it has a VGA or DVI socket. VGA is also sometimes referred to as D-sub.
Type of Screen	LCD
Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
Screen Format	16:10
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
PC Interface	Yes
If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.
Height in mm	478
Width in mm	574
