19” LCD TVs are probably the most sought after Christmas presents this time around. They're easy to move around and most importantly, not all of us can afford an elaborate 55 incher. As Christmas presents, not only are they affordable, they make the goggle eyed recipient go “You got me an
LCD TV for Christmas? Wow.”, so you can casually flick your wine-held hand and say, “Oh, it was nothing!” in your office Christmas party. How's that for self-complacency, huh?
Now, for all you generous folk who plan to flatter your boss with an
LCD TV for Christmas and those who look to replace the second room LCD TV, we have something to say. Why not consider the
Samsung LE19R86BD 19” LCD TV ? The TV is pretty cheap ( £150) and looks good too. But can we rush point out that its far from perfect, but is passable nevertheless? The frame of this TV looks pretty good with curved edges and a smooth glass finish. The TV will straight away win you over with the looks.
The Samsung LE19R86BD is an
HD Ready LCD TV with iDTV, display resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels and a dynamic contrast ratio 2000:1. Picture quality is average, for certain scenes with a dark background have traces of white lines along the edges. Audio from the two 3W speakers is adequate; but it could have been more effective. Colours are pleasant though, all thanks to the wide colour enhancer. Skin tones and the brighter shades look natural and neat. There is just one
HDMI port, along with a D-sub and S-Video ports. Game mode is where the LE19R86BD scores very high, with fast response times along with sharp details, the LE19R86BD will definitely satisfy any hard core gamer.
