LCD TV SAMSUNG LE32R86BD 32 inches / 81 cm



Samsung proposes is a mid-range TV extremely interesting, as proposed at the same price as the series Economically, the S86. What differentiates yet: going on R86BD to 3 HDMI inputs (very good!), We gain a better contrast and a few functions. The hull of the TV is so in vogue at the moment: brilliant on the edges, but with a slab of matte in the middle. Everything is proposed to less than 700 euros, it makes you want to crack. We can actually, you will not find a bad deal, but to really take advantage of this screen, it's best to follow this advice: turn off all its advanced features. We tested one by one: neither produces a good result. Worse, they systematically degraded images (see box).



Travel via the OSD (the Set menu of TV) is all it takes more useful (essential in our view) change the color settings. It's simple, fast and highly desirable. Basic, LE32R86BD seems settle for shops to slam into the eye of passing. But when it comes to loyalty ... Switch Mode simply Movies with a color temperature on Warm 2 will retrieve colors balanced, fairly neutral, with a mean difference between the ideal colors and displayed measured at 4.5, while it was starting from 7.2. Incidentally, it rectifies the dark, completely faded background (from 0.51 to 0.28 cd / m). However, even after adjusting not only what is not yet perfect (some LG and Sony televisions are much better), but it is far more contrast promised by the manufacturer. While it is common to see differences, we still raging read a contrast ratio of 8000:1 announced in the features, and find a real contrast of 640:1 at the end. To which we take on?



It ends with the recommended uses for this product. It's simple: HD movies, with an appropriate perspective of at least two metres fifty. Otherwise the tingling you can disrupt. Other uses have rather disappointed. Of the SD sources, such as DVD, there is a scaling up imperfectly reflected in the effects of stairs at the edges of objects. The Full HD 1080p is not supported. With regard to the persistence on the console, it is bearable but already crossed more responsive on many occasions. It is even less encouraging in PC mode: the image is a bit blurred. Do not this screen to mixed use, TV and office.



Despite this final a little hard, LE32R86BD remains a proper screen, and even a good deal for those who want a 32-inch at a small price. We appreciated his 3 HDMI inputs, the colors correct settings and after, though, his beautiful images HD. For the DS, a little back (3 meters or more) and it will go very well.
