Samsung Bordeaux LE26R74BDX 26" HDTV

Deep, vivid colors
Good quality on VGA output
Excellent design
Slightly grainy picture quality on extreme contrasts.
Flat sound

Since the Xbox 360 launched in India, desperate gamers all over the country have been looking for a cheap HDTV to experience the next-gen games the way they were meant to be. But sadly the TVs sell at a much higher rate in India than even in the first-world countries, no thanks to our brilliant tax system. Gripes aside, if what you're looking for is a high definition TV in a a room where you won't be sitting more than 6 feet away from your display, the Samsung Bordeaux 26" seems like a pretty good option.

But before I get ahead of myself, I'll start from the basics, as-in, the way it looks.

Like all other Samsung LCD TVs, this one too has a black piano finish that looks sleek and sexy at first, but attracts dust like its going out of fashion. The bottom of the panel is perhaps, the most elegant part of the TV, with the curvaceous extension in the center that houses the power button of the unit.

The speakers are well hidden under the unit, so even when you're using an external sound system (which you should), the speakers won't come in the way or occupy any extra space.

I ordered a samsung bordeux 26 lcd based on this review. to my utter surprise, ten days later i have come to notice that it does not have a s video output and headphone out option at all. this is not the correct review for the model they are selling in india. this review of yours only made me lose precious money!

Any day Bordeaux is better than Bravia. Got a 32" inch Bravia but i feel Bordeaux is better

Its a Good thing that you put the Photos of the TVs back showing all the I/O connectors..

But I always look for a specs sheet with all things such as list of all I/o Sockets. Max Res, Contrast Ratio, Response Time.. etc. etc.. as it really helps in comparing different TVs.. Its tiring to have to read the whole review and search for these specs hidden everywhere.

I hope you follow such things for all TV and hardware reviews... because its the only reason why Tech2 is last on the list for me when it comes to such reviews.

i have a 32inch samsung bordeaux.mark my words. VERY GOOD. i would also rate 4/5. the only thing to worry abt are the internal speakers. these are very flat, and does not produce enough noise as required. if ur attaching
external music system speakers, nothing like it. this is the best combination. but the killer looks strikes all these..its simply amazing

How much did you buy your 32inch bordeaux for?Is the sony bravia a better option?what about other brands like Sharp,Hitachi and pioneer

My family recently bought a 32 inch samsung bordeaux and its lovely.
Apart from the stunning clarity along with DTH, its really perfect since i play my 360 on it and you really get to feel the power of High Definition.
It does 720p and 1080i so really unless you are rolling in cash to buy a full HD which supports 1080p i think its the best out there.
Flat sound- hmmm... JBL speakesr which are hidden to give it a more aesthetic look- though i agree it could have been a tad better. Im really impressed by it overall though, 4.5 on 5 for me.
