Samsung LE22B450 22-inch Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV with Freeview
Great TV
I firstly purchased the Samsung LE22A457 but had to return this due to bad backlight leakage. I am pleased to say I should have gone with my original instinct and purchased this set in the first place! It is a lovely looking TV and I need to disagree with the review saying the sound is tinny - compared to the 22" 457 it is a marked improvement and much better than other 22" TV's I listened to in a local retailer. For a TV which most people will use in a second room it does the job well.
We purchased this for the bedroom to view Sky TV sent via RF from the Lounge input so I cannot comment on the freeview tuner/features, but the picture quality I receive from the Sky box is very good.
One thing to note - if you are looking at HD Ready 22" TV's be careful of the resolution you choose. This TV has a resolution of 1366 x 768 which is perfect 16:9 ratio. Many other sets (including the A457 I purchased before) offer 1680 x 1050. Whilst on paper this looks better it does not give a true 16:9 ratio and the picture has be be stretched vertically to fill the screen meaning some images can look distorted. You can always run it in 16:9 mode but this will result in black bars top and bottom of the screen, something I certainly don't want on all my normal broadcast TV!
All in all very happy with the TV purchase and would recommend it.
