I'm a bit confused...

I looked online for this and it seems very rare. However, the P2270HD pops up all over the place and seems to be very similar. But to add further bemusement, the P2270HD isn't listed on Samsung's site but the LD220HD is. Did the latter supercede former? If so, what are the differences?

@Aidan

Those damn Samsung model numbers! A million different variations to describe minute changes to the bezel design. The nightmare I had trying to find out the difference between a 650, a 651, a 652, a 653, a 654. Samsung spreads them over every country's version of their website, and every retailer and reviewer ends up labelling them differently.

Here's a spec list from Samsung Germany on an 'LD220HD' (easy enough to make out) :

And here's a spec list to a 'P2270' from Samsung UK :

@Andy Vandervell: You mention that motion can be blurry with panning sequences. Would you not recommend this monitor for first person shooters?

All those connections, and no D-sub for connecting a laptop! Does the DVI port include analogue pin connections so that a D-sub adapter can be used? Seems like a huge oversight if not...

Cheers for the help. The P2270 is the monitor-only version, but I guess it's got the same panel as the P2270HD. It appears that the LD220HD was on sale at Dixons/Currys etc a month or so ago, but now they just have the P2270HD. I can't find it anywhere else, other than on the Continent. Have TR reviewed a product that's not actually on sale in the UK anymore?

Hi,

First post, nice looking TV/Monitor - on the market and this has all the connections i want.

Has someone in the trusted review team been on holiday to Edinburgh ? All pictures in the monitor are Edinburgh.

@BobaFett: Personally I think it's fine, that particular comment was in reference to videos. It's no worse than any other similar LCD display.

@bobafett

Blur on these Samsungs only occurs in non HD content such as the footy. Gaming wise it will make you happy.

Oh no Samsung have started with the clangers - where is that headphone jack, a sign of awful design and the remote is second most important feature to the screen. For a Sammy fan this shows bad signs.

Come on you guys at TR! What on earth is the point in reviewing a product that is not for sale here in the UK? Surely you check the availability of a product before you review it? Very disappointing!

Where? The only place I can even find it listed is Pixmania, and their listing is in French! Dixons/Currys/PC World no longer have it listed on their sites.

When I bought it, the seller was sure it didn't have speakers and told me I had to buy an extra set what I did. It's only now, reading your review, a week later, that I see it has speakers on the backside... And to think I already thought this is a fantastic monitor for a small price.

In regards to some comments. This set was on sale (and in stock) at the time of review. However extremely high demand has depleted stock. I've been given no date as to when it'll be back on sale, but hopefully it will be soon. It's easy to see why it sold out so quick.

I like many others, read the review, thought "this is exactly the monitor I have been waiting for" and hastily went to buy it. Alas, its very disappointing to not be able to find this monitor available for sale + in stock anywhere...

Does anyone know of any similar / comparable monitors with built-in tv input functionality? (Note, does not need to have freeview - composite / scart inputs alone would suffice)

Mrs Harris - as it clearly states in the review, this TV / monitor has an in-built Freeview tuner. You can use it in your kitchen just fine.

Hey guys, any idea how this compares to the older LG Flatron M2294D 22in LCD TV??

http://www.trustedreviews.com/monitors/review/2008/07/30/LG-Flatron-M2294D-22in-LCD-TV-Monitor/p1

I have heard a lot of complaints of sound from the LG one, but it has much better connectivity and is cheaper and available now. What are the main differences and what TV would you guys recommend as you reviewed them both?? (Trustedreviews.com)

looks like shop direct group's catalogue brands (littlewoods, very) have this monitor available (price from £249 now or £299 on credit).

Does someone know if all LD220HD models have the same DVB-T tuner? I need the one which is called TNT HD Tuner in France (able to receive both mpeg2 and mpeg4 dvb-t1 broadcasts). IS the UK model the same as France model?

I have been avoiding having to buy one of these so called TV's for years but my 2nd old style TV died a few days ago.

The 'stand' on this model does not want to work for me, it is spring loaded and just keeps going back to where it springs from, I eventually stuck a sock in it to stop it closing up, must be missing something, any ideas?

The colour balance is awful in the red range, it seems happy with deep greens, blues and greys, anything in the red spectrum is poor, I have fiddled with the advance settings but not much luck, any ideas?

The remote control is a poor piece of equipment, I would disagree that it is well laid out.

Other than that I suppose you get what you pay for, I dread the day when my main TV which is a 10 year old Sony dies as I will be forced to spent a fortune of one of these tv's for what will not produce the consistent quality that I currently enjoy. Mabye by then they will have a 4D, 10000000...hertz version that acutally does the job properly?

Yours

Terence

Just unboxed and setup my Samsung LD220HD. £165 all in including delivery from Pixmania and i'm very happy with my purchase with a few minor issues.

1. Some options like Magic Angle:(Standing Mode)(Side Mode) Colour Tone: (Warm 1/2) Size: (Screen fit) etc are greyed out. Any idea why? maybe cause i've just got a tv arieal attached?

2. the foot is only secure fully open which leans the tv to far back for comfortable viewing, i've got it jimmied half open and is ok but would prefer it to be 90degrees vertical.

What vesa base do you recomend that allows for height, swivel and vertical angle adjustment?

Anyone who demands flexibility on a small budget should seek out the LD220HD. For £200 it offers truly stunning value, particularly as the performance and attention to detail of the set far outstrips anything you'll see on no-name alternatives. Read full review
