Review Product I Review TV I Samsung SyncMaster P2370 Review

A couple of weeks ago I thought I'd treat myself to a new TV for my birthday. After a lot of searching around may, may different stores I finally settled on the Samsung P2370HD. 

Now I mainly got this because it was FULL HD and had an amazing contrast ratio of 50000:1, which trust me makes all the difference. But I also thought that it looked amazing, and on my wall it looks even better than it did in the shop, except for a few things. 

Now when I first got the TV I didn't have a wall mount so I put the stand on, please if you get one don't do this, as you will never be able to get the stand off again, the base maybe but at the minute this brilliant piece of kit is on my wall with the stand mount still on, and no matter how much I yank at it, it won't come off.

An upside though, is that the quality of the picture is amazing, my PS3 is plugged into it and it really does look brilliant, and the difference between black and white (hence the 50000:1 contrast ratio) is amazing. 

Hrmm, now for another downside, the designers of this TV really didn't think when they were designing it as it is probably the least user friendly TV in the world. Basically, the plugs at the back of the TV face outwards towards the wall which is a big problem. I brought loads of TV mounts before I finally got one that the plugs could fit into, as the mount covered up the sockets, and still with the mount I have the DVI socket is covered up. The user interface isn't that easy to use either, and the TV guide is pretty confusingly laid out. Ow and it doesn't even has a composite in, which mean you have to buy and adapter for the scart socket.

In conclusion based on picture quality and looks I would highly recommend this TV, but if your looking to wall mount it, then don't, get the same model but the 10000:1 contrast ratio as I believe that the sockets on that one face downwards and it has two HDMI sockets as well.

Advantages:
Great picture Quality, Looks great 

Disadvantages:
Poorly designed, Not very user friendly and a bit expensive
