Samsung 26" LCD TV

TinCool

I am considering in getting on of these http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/103064/art/samsung/lw26a33w-16-9-26-66-cm-lc.html

for the old bedroom. Since it is available in their "Ireland" site I'd assume that there'd be no problems tuning in TV channels through the normal traditional TV cable (not using SCART).

It doesn't specifically list Ireland in the country list when setting up the channels in the manual that I found on the samsung site at: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/MM/200212/um_lw32a33w_manual_eng_040615.pdf

So I am slightly concerned, forking out €1200 for a TV which can't tune in Irish channels would be a bit of a bummer all round.

Ireland and the UK use the exact same TV systems.

Another good samsung 26" is the LE26R41. Its about 400 euros cheaper and Ive never seen it get less than 5/5 in a review. Its the most popular thing on avforums.com at the moment too, and theyre pretty picky

Thanks dude. I've also been looking at this 32"

And been reading up on it on the avforums and it looks very promising. For that price too you can't argue for a 32". I'll be deciding in the next couple of weeks when the work bonus comes through

Not quite, the transmission standard is the same i.e. PAL but some RTE stuff over the air uses VHF frequencies the UK is only UHF. For cable/satellite any UK TV is fine but if you get your RTE from an aeriel you may have a problem.
