Connect Share Movie

There’s no excuse anymore for leaving all those great digital pictures and videos in your cameras. All you need with the Samsung HDTV is a USB connection cord. Just plug it in then instantly play. It even works for your music collection. So now anytime is showtime.

Plug-in your USB device and watch your videos or listen to your music

Wide Colour Enhancer

Capturing nature is the goal of an artist. We've achieved it as well with our Wide Colour Enhancer. Our unique 3D colour stretching technology saturates each pixel until it achieves the true colour and luminescence intended by nature. So every colour on the RGB spectrum is brought to life. It is a work of art.

This TV doesn’t settle for less than perfect

A picture that’s smooth and clear doesn’t always magically appear. That’s why many of our latest HDTVs are equipped with a digital noise filter. When you have a less-than-perfect picture in a poor reception area, this filter reduces the analog noise created during transmission, reproducing clear images, sharp details, and bringing images back to their original beauty.

Anynet+

Take the drama out of enjoying your home theatre. Anynet+ delivers one-touch control for all compatible SAMSUNG audio and video devices connected via HDMI. Now one touch is all it takes instead of a coffee table full of remotes.

Control all your compatible Samsung devices with one remote control
Anynet+ delivers one-touch control for all compatible SAMSUNG audio and video devices connected via HDMI

3 HDMI

All it takes is one cable to connect your TV to your other audio and video sources. Our HDMI slot allows you to import all kinds of content without compression including pictures and videos from your digital camcorders and multimedia PCs. Now enjoying it all on a wide HD screen couldn't be easier.

Planet First

Samsung is committed to provide consumers better green experiences through innovative technology, design and processes. So you can put your feet up and relax knowing you're leaving a smaller carbon footprint.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Picture Quality, Well Specified with Very Useful Features not all TVs Have, 10 Aug 2010
    By Mr. Laurence Williams "laurence_p_williams" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Samsung LE26C450 26-inch Widescreen HD Ready 50Hz LCD TV with Freeview (Electronics)
    The picture on this TV is excellent BUT it is essential to 'tweak' the settings to achieve an optimal presentation (suited to your own taste of course) after the likely initial shock of the picture being awful with the default settings; already being the owner of an 18-month old 37" Samsung LCD TV I knew how important this was. I adjusted the settings by playing a Blu-ray of 'No Country for Old Men' as the opening sequences have a good combination of beautifully bright, sharp and full of contrast shots. The sound is less impressive but still perfectly acceptable and MUCH better than I was expecting due to small power output/size of the unit. The only noticeable aspect is that the maximum volume achievable is not very high; it is not a great issue as for normal TV viewing it is fine and a surround-sound hi-fi is used for DVDs/Blu-ray...

    This 720p 26" (it will of course accept all HD signals up to 1080p and 1080/24p) was bought to 'replace' a 24" 1080p LCD TV made by another manufacturer which I bought as it was cheap; I thought a relatively small screen would not produce much difference between makes - how wrong I was. Luckily I was able to return that other TV after a trial as no amount of adjustment produced an acceptable picture; crucially the backlight intensity couldn't be altered (unlike as with the Samsung), which I think has a MAJOR effect on picture quality. The picture had good contrast/brightness but it never achieved the level of sharpness expected for a Blu-ray presentation; it always appeared slightly blurred and 'mushy' in comparison to my 37" Samsung and I was left to wonder if it was the TV itself or the limitations of the smaller screen size. I now know the answer, as the picture resolution of this 26" Samsung is far superior to that other TV (for only about £50 more, BUT it is a 26" versus the 24" so the cost difference is even less significant) and it is difficult to find differences to my 37". When I read enthusiastic user reviews of that other TV it makes me think if they know what they are missing out on and how things could be even better....

    There are a vast range of aspects available for adjustment, but not all are that necessary to change in my opinion. Below are the settings I changed and the values I made them, you can see that some are wildly different from the default setting which proves my point about 'tweaking'. It is pertinent to observe that as no two LCD panels are the same, and their performance changes with use (as they demonstrate the affects of 'burn'in'), there is even more reason why the settings will differ for everyone and probably need further adjustment over time :

    Backlight-1
    Contrast-70
    Brightness-70
    Sharpness-90
    Colour-30

    The 'Gamma' setting also produced significant differences, but it seems to be more dependent on what kind of source picture is being viewed when the above settings are, for me, 'universal'. If you get this TV obviously you can 'tweak' as you wish, but I couldn't see any noticeable difference from any of the other 10 or so settings available for adjustment ! There is also a Graphic Equalizer which can have some effect on sound presentation.

    The range of connections is excellent and actually improves on my 37" Samsung. They are :

    Rear

    2 x HDMI
    Component In
    SCART
    PC-In VGA
    PC Audio-In (Slaved to HDMI-1)
    Audio Optical-Out (which has a menu adjustment available for 'time delay' to deal with any synchronisation issues)
    Headphone
    Co-Ax Aerial

    Side :

    HDMI
    USB (more on this later)
    A/V In
    CI Slot

    The HDMI connection also accepts a playback signal from a PC equipped with a Blu-ray player. This is something I believe is referred to as 'HDCP' and is not a given even with the latest TVs. I connected my PC via a DVI cable and a DVI-HDMI converter and it worked fine, showing the Blu-ray picture with great clarity. Sound was present via just the DVI/HDMI connection, leaving me confused why there is a separate PC-audio input slaved to the HDMI socket !

    There are front/bottom touch-sensitive controls for on/off, channel, volume, menu and source, BUT like my 37" I find them virtually impossible to use in any practical way as the legends are difficult to read against the black surface in anything other than a brightly lit room meaning you are (or at least I was !) forever selecting the wrong function....

    Other notable features are :

    A VERY capable media player facility for files accessed by USB (absent on my 37")
    An informative and flexible EPG which allows programme scheduling
    An on/off timer which can include USB as a source
    An individual channel 'lock' facility with PIN access

    Pros/Cons are :

    The wide-range of picture size modes and adjustments remain. I have not seen many TVs which allow you to select a picture mode then be able to adjust the size as well as move the image.
    The unit is remarkably lightweight.
    It's made in Europe !
    Firmware updates can be made via TV signal or downloaded then installed via USB
    Unfortunately, the stand is fixed so you cannot readily swivel the screen
    Those aforementioned pretty-much unusable front/bottom touch-sensitive controls...
    For most the headphone connection being at the rear would be a con, but for me it is actually preferable as it is used as the permanent audio output to a small sound system; this reveals a limitation since it is the only way to get a sound output to a basic sound system as there are no phono audio output sockets (although there is the optical output for those with an amp that accepts it of course). This limitation is compounded as using the headphone socket mutes the TV speakers; I would prefer it if (like some TVs allow) the TV speakers were always active, there was a separate volume control for the headphone output and you could therefore control the audio for both the TV and your audio system from the TV....


    So, as with any purchase you need to check as much as you can beforehand that all your requirements are met. I downloaded the User Guide for this 26" TV and confirmed it offered all the capabilities (and more) I liked and was used to from my 37" Samsung. I am not brand-loyal and am sure other makes offer similar quality, but this manufacturer makes TVs which clearly have a good picture and offer the functions (some slightly unusual) I like.

    The current sale price of £250-odd (make sure you check the Amazon 'New/Used' prices as the Amazon price is often shunted from being the headline price by more expensive sellers !) makes it a very worthwhile purchase; it doesn't have things like a built-in DVD or a USB record facility (which the 'rejected' 24" TV I tried first had), but I am not in need of those features and think picture quality is most important.

    Very good picture and sound. The USB conection is a nice feature for playing movies from a stick but I have not used it yet. The TV is very light and compact so can be mounted on the wall easily and pushed in to the corner. Tuning is very easy and almost automatic.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV, 10 Jun 2010

    This review is from: Samsung LE26C450 26-inch Widescreen HD Ready 50Hz LCD TV with Freeview (Electronics)
    I've a small living room and wanted to replace my 21" tv. I did an awful lot of research before deciding on the Samsung. The 26 inch is the perfect size for my lounge and the picture and sound quality is fantastic. Set up is very easy including connecting to my bt vision box with an hdmi cable. I really like it's simple, pleasing design as it manages to blend with my decor rather than dominate it.

    I have no hesitation in recommending this telly.
