Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Full HD 1080P

Anyone can say they have the clearest picture, but only Full HD 1080p has twice the detail and twice the resolution of regular HDTV. It delivers dazzlingly, rich colour and vivid details, and even corrects the errors from standard definition content. It's definitely not your father's HD.

More real than reality with HyperReal Engine

Your mind won’t believe your eyes. That’s how breathtakingly stunning the picture quality you get with Samsung’s HyperReal engine is. Enabled by Super 3C Realization, the picture is as unrivalled as it is unbelievable. This way, you’re never just watching a movie, you’re living it.

Wide Colour Enhancer

Capturing nature is the goal of an artist. We've achieved it as well with our Wide Colour Enhancer. Our unique 3D colour stretching technology saturates each pixel until it achieves the true colour and luminescence intended by nature. So every colour on the RGB spectrum is brought to life. It is a work of art.

This TV doesn’t settle for less than perfect

A picture that’s smooth and clear doesn’t always magically appear. That’s why many of our latest HDTVs are equipped with a digital noise filter. When you have a less-than-perfect picture in a poor reception area, this filter reduces the analog noise created during transmission, reproducing clear images, sharp details, and bringing images back to their original beauty.

Anynet+

Take the drama out of enjoying your home theatre. Anynet+ delivers one-touch control for all compatible SAMSUNG audio and video devices connected via HDMI. Now one touch is all it takes instead of a coffee table full of remotes.

Control all your compatible Samsung devices with one remote control

3 HDMI

All it takes is one cable to connect your TV to your other audio and video sources. Our HDMI slot allows you to import all kinds of content without compression including pictures and videos from your digital camcorders and multimedia PCs. Now enjoying it all on a wide HD screen couldn't be easier.

Light controlling, energy saving

Samsung HDTVs are easy on the planet — and on your eyes. Our unique Eco Sensor measures the intensity of the room’s light and automatically calibrates the brightness of the image on the screen. In a brightly lit environment, the picture brightness grows even brighter, and in dim surroundings, brightness is reduced. So now you’re not wasting energy on a bright screen when it isn’t needed. Enjoy the best picture possible with a TV that’s aware of its surroundings.

So you can put your feet up and relax knowing you're leaving a smaller carbon footprint and conserving energy at the same time. Not only will the planet look better, utility bills will too.

    After looking at various TVs to replace my ageing 32" LG I settled for this Samsung 40" after reading the good reviews and I wasn't disappointed.

    Right out of the box you can tell that the unit is nicely designed and built. I got it hung on the wall and plugged up quickly and ran through the easy to follow set up procedure.

    Picture quality is really good considering the scare stories you hear about larger TV sets and SD pictures. The built in noise filter works well with most modern SD programs. Indeed, a few times I've had to see whether I'm using a HD signal or not. Give it a full HD signal and the result is spectacular. Crisp vivid images with nice black tones without endlessly fiddling with the many picture options. I haven't changed much from the default and I'm very happy with the result.

    Considering the small downward firing speakers audio is very good. Wide sound with lots of detail.

    I can't recommend this TV enough. The price is a steal.

    Our 1st HD TV 15 Sep 2010
    A great product, we bought this along with other Samsung products to complete a full home entertainment system and they all go together superbly. The TV is nice to look at, nicely made and, in common with the other components we bought has touch controls so no more clunky buttons to push. The picture is superb, even when watching ordinary TV. It really comes into its own when watching BluRays or HD TV though, it gave us a real kick to see our friends mouths drop open at how good the picture is.

    If I have one moan, its that I really don't ever want to leave the house now!!

    Update: 24/12/2011: Sorry to say that I must amend my review as, not 18 months after purchase, this tv completely stopped working, imagine our horror when we googled the problem to find page after page ranting about the same problem, evidently the powerboard is prone to packing up for no good reason. (we have since been told Samsung use the cheapest parts, surprise surprise)

    We called a repair man out (a Samsung specialist from a large electrical retailer), who for the princely sum of £150 mended the damn thing by fitting a new powerboard. 3 days later (two days before Christmas!!) the same problem occurred!!! Not happy, got a refund for the repair, the tv is in the bin and we now have a rather nice panasonic, will NEVER buy samsung again. Who needs a tv that dies after 18 months???

    I purchased this TV as I wanted a bigger screen. I previously had a 32" Toshiba which has gone upstairs. Easy to set up, I have a V+ box so didn't bother with setting the Freeview channels. The picture in SD is great, really clear but in HD it is awesome. The FA Cup yesterday was great to watch in HD and nature type programmes and Bear Grylls type channels are superb in clarity and detail. The sound is fine - I don't have a surround sound system and was "concerned" that the audio might not be that great but after a few tweaks of the equaliser it is fine. There is a touch of red that appears around the frame but it's hardly noticeable. Under the Samsung logo you may see a red light on pictures of this product but you can't really notcie it when you have the TV set up. I did query this with Samsung as I thought maybe this light should be more noticeable but it's not a light at all - more of a marketing thing I think. I have used the USB connection to watch photos and films which work well. My Toshiba DVD player however does not play colour pictures - shows films in black and white. Don't know why - it is a scart to scart connection. But anyway I have purchased the Samsung pebble DVD HDMI player which I will collect tomorrow to hook up to the TV. However the Wii which also connects via the scart (3 component leads into a scart) plays fine in full colour. So if you fancy a nice big screen (especially for the World Cup) I would definitely recommend this one - and it's a good price.
