The new TV replaces my, in long need of replacing, 15″ portable which I bought more than 6 years ago. The TV I opted for was from the Samsung R72 Series (26″ version).

It boasts an impressive array of features on the website, including HD-readyness and an integrated digital tuner. HD seemed the way to go and ensures that whenever this new format war is settled that either of the HD-DVD formats will be viewable on the set.

Due to the recent demise of my current Freeview box, i.e. it stopped working at all, an integrated digital tuner is probably a plus and saves having to have that pesky box sitting around taking up space.

Most of the other stuff on the site looks to be pretty much jargon for sharp picture and good colour quality. Other than that there looks to be a pretty cool looking PIP (Picture In Picture) mode which allows you to watch TV whilst playing a console, or watch a DVD whilst flicking through TV channels.

Other than these extremely endearing features I mainly bought the thing for the “Ingenious Swivel Stand”:

The LCD TVs ingenious swivel stand affords consumers the ultimate flexibility in positioning the TV in their house. It allows for mobility and ergonomic comfort in your house.

It swivels on the stand, crazy!
