Bought this from another retailer, for a bedroom, and I'm actually very pleased.
The unit looks discrete and the quality appears good. It's well designed, and has a good asthetic.
I think you need to shift your expectations on this one - this is a computer monitor, with a digital Freeview tuner. The speakers are pretty much incidental - I'd imagine Samsung put them in incase it was used as an occasional TV. I obviously haven't opened the unit up, but the speakers are most probably very small tweeters, ok for beeps and bongs, etc.
But - they're fine for a bedroom, and it'll go quite loud. What you'll hear is the sibilence (that hissing noise when people say the sound "ess"), which seems to always be noticable. If you use the equaliser, and pump up the deep frequencies and turn down the mid range and treble, it's listenable. I'd imagine if you want more you'd get separate speakers and amp anyway - you need to do that with bigger, more dedicated "TV" TV's now anyway. Gone are the days where, like with my old CRT Tosh, you get a decent built in sounds from these sets.
The set up is simple - it'll tune your digital channels easily and without trouble, using the kind of interface and menus that you'll know from any computer or sat nav or phone. Press the arrow keys, go to your selection, and press the middle button. Off you trot.
The TV guide is clear (although the writing is smallish), and responds quickly.
I reckon for picture quality, build quality, and value for money, this is a good monitor.
Sound quality is less than ok, but if you're not listening for it, and faff about with the settings, it's ok.
It'd be a great one for sticking your PC on - and would save you buying a TV card for your PC, or having to switch on your PC to watch TV if you have a card.
Remember - this is a quality 19 inch monitor - how much would you have paid for a 21 inch TV 10 years ago? I was flogging CRT's then - and the real cheapos were £200. And this ain't a cheapo one - Samsung make quality stuff.
EDIT - 2 months on. Had to send back twice - tends to reset and lose channels. Got a different make now...I wonder if it's a fault on this model?
