    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent specification and value - don't overlook Samsung!, 16 Jul 2009
    The number of LCD, plasma and now LED televisions available now is mind-boggling for anyone looking for a new television. In fact, if, like me, you had specific requirements (40", 1080P, at least 4 HDMI + component) it can take a while to narrow the field down. Luckily, I found the Samsung LE40B550 and I have to say I'm delighted with it.

    First, connectivity. Not all televisions are made equal in this area. The LE40B550 has a wealth of inputs - 4 HDMI (1 side mounted) + component + 2 SCART + VGA (D-SUB) + AV ports (composite + L/R audio). Not only that, but one HDMI port and the D-SUB port also have a 3.5mm audio input, for use with a computer. Finally, there's an optical out, for transferring sound from your equipment on to an amplifier / receiver and a USB port for playing photos and music. This really is a well connected set and if you think 4 HDMI ports is too many, think again ... dvd player, 360, HD camcorder, PS3, blu-ray player, media PC, popcorn hour, freesat PVR ... all of these are HDMI equipped.

    Second, image and sound quality. Again, the Samsung delivers in spades. The freeview picture is incredibly clean and detailed looking (much more so than I had expected) and when you plug in an HD source, it certainly impresses with excellent levels of detail and rich vibrant colours. As with most television sets, some of the more aggressive picture processing options (edge enhancement, noise reduction, sharpness etc) need to be toned down or disabled, particularly on standard definition sources (the bits you might plug into the SCART socket). I plugged my media pc in to watch BBC iPlayer and at 720P resolution, full screen, I was impressed with the results (so thumbs up BBC and samsung) - so the television also seems to do an excellent job of up-scaling sources from 720P to 1080P, which is an important factor if your games console, camcorder or other source is set to that resolution. Sound output is excellent from the discreetly hidden downward firing speakers - speech is handled well and it sounds neither boomy nor tinny.

    Third, quality of build and design. Everything seems well thought out. Even the big box it comes in has a bit of magic up its sleeve. Pop out the little black plastic tabs and lift the top off to reveal the TV. Fitting the stand was easy - it's a manageable one man job. Put the stand onto a stable flat surface and lower the TV onto it. It's safe enough for you to add the 4 securing screws without worrying it's going to drop on the floor! When installed it's a nice, straightforward looking TV. All in all, it's a good looking set, which seems to be well finished, with no rough edges or anything that makes you think "if only they'd ..."

    One final thing. If (when) you buy this set, I'm sure you will want to disable the start-up / shut-down "melody". You can do this by disabling it under "general settings"!

    By P. Rangeley - See all my reviews

    I wanted a good looking reliable full hd tv to replace my old model. I visited lots of sites to check prices and features. i found the Samsung LE40b55oa5 40" full HD crystal tv on Amazon with the features I wanted and at a great price.
    delivery was very quick. The tv is great looking,easy to programme and install and the picture and sound quality are excelent. I have mine linked to a HD satelite box and a samsung dvd player with surround sound. Fantastic picture and sound quality.
    A most superb television.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung 40, 30 Jul 2009
    By Andrew Cowell (Bristol, England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I have been looking at TV's for a few months and as the prices continued to drop, finding the right one at the right price at the right time was always gouing to be hit and miss. As well as Amazon, I looked at the main retail outlets inc. J Lewis who I usually favour. Amazon have the top names and good prices so eventually I chose the Samsung 40.

    I wanted a TV large enough for my lounge but not too imposing, with all the features that let me and the kids watch films, dvd's and sport. The Samsung has it.

    I also purchased a stand which matches well.

    Amazon delivered when they said they would, setting up was simple (once I remembered where all the wires came from on the old TV) and within half an hour of unpacking we weere sat down watching.

    And it's brilliant - great picture and sound, easy to use and looks fab.

    Happy us!!
