Just wanted to add some information about this TV, which seems hard to find.
It has Freeview HD built in.
It doesn’t connect to iplayer, although there is a Network port at the back. (I don’t know whether this is going to be added as a feature at a later date or not, Currently the port can only be used for playing media from your home network.)
It uses the cheaper form of LED tech, edge LED – but for the price, that’s expected.
It can display upto 1080p resolution.
The image quality whilst watching HD channels is great, whilst watching SD channels its not the best – This is just like all new LED / LCD TV’s, if you want nice SD channels then buy a Plasma TV, in my opinion nothing else comes close.
The USB port plays everything that I’ve thrown at it, HD & SD content.
It uses only 39 watts of electricity, that the equivalent of one incandescent candle lightbulb!
WOW!
One downside, would be that the corners seem to suffer from dark corners visible when the TV displays bright scenes, I’m the only person in my house who has noticed these as everyone else’s focus is on the center of the TV and not at the corners. I’m not bothered by it I just wanted to alert you to it. I’ve read on some forums that most Samsung LED TV’s suffer from this – These dark corners are only the size of the tip of your thumb, so you might not even notice them.
Value for money I give this TV 5 out of 5.
Although maybe it should be 4.5 out of 5 because of the dark corners & for the not so great standard definition channels.

I was going to get an LG 32LV355T instead, but saw this new out with a cheaper price, £300 at the time via tribal, so just bought it on impulse! It seemed to have all the same features I wanted, e.g like being able to play your own movies and standard and hi-def AVI files via the USB, also having freeview HD built-in. And I was right!
I’m no fanatic when it comes to picture quality and sound, but I still wanted something decent and it more than suits my needs. I also like that it’s A rated for energy efficiency btw. I mostly leave it in the movie setting for the picture, the others seem too harah in colour and contrast. I saw some reviews say to adjust the backlight and contrast settings to maximum, the colour to 41 and sharpness to 0 and that looks better than the standard setting, but I prefer to have the sharpness up more personally.
It’s quite chunky at the back but that’s because it’s a standard full-array LED and not edge LED lit apparently. I have it on top of a table in my bedroom 5 – 6 feet away, nice upgrade to my old Sharp 20″ LCD.
Bad points: It doesn’t seem very solid on the stand and isn’t great to wall mount.
If you don’t want to bother with 3D and smart internet, then this TV is excellent! EDIT. It’s also superb for using with a console, games look brilliant.

Cant reccomend this TV enough, brought this TV to replace my goodmans lcd tv in bedroom rather than buying a freeview box. took it out of the box and swapped it with the old tv onto my wall mounting bracket in under 10 mins. connected power lead and simply followed the on screen set up instuctions.
It is very simple to use and the picture quality is beautiful on the HD freeview channels I also tested it out with a blu-ray copy of Avatar and the picture was simply stunning.
Am giving serious consideration to buying a 42″ for my livingroom
