40 inch 3D LED TV 1080p HD Ready Freeview HD. Important UE40D6530 3D information! Samsung LE32A558 review from the experts at whathifi. What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Mon, 22 Dec 2008, 1:00pm For Smooth good looks half-decent tuner good with DVD, cracking Blu-ray pictures Against Sound is easily flustered some coarseness to TV pictures Samsung has been so full of enthusiasm for its 'rose-black' range of screens that we've struggled to get hold of any representative from the more prosaic (for which, read 'not a hint of red') 5-series of screens.
This, happily, is where we rectify that – and, later, it's where we bemoan the fact we didn't see them earlier. There's been no scrimping where the LE32A558 is concerned. The remote is interesting without being overwrought, and the partially-illuminated buttons fall logically under your thumb. Remote buttons need a bit of a stabEach button needs a bit more of a stab to get working than is ideal, though, and if you're going to light some of the buttons why not light 'em all?
There are prodigious levels of detail on offer, smoothly tracked movement and utterly convincing textures described. Samsung UE32D6530 review from the experts at whathifi. What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Fri, 10 Jun 2011, 2:17pm For Excellent Freeview HD tuner smooth motion, natural colours, fine attention to detail extensive features including 3D… Against 3D performance is average Samsung sells more TVs than any other company in the world.
Packed to the gills with featuresThe Series 6 sets are the most affordable of Samsung’s LCD screens to offer 3D, and at around £600 for this UE32D6530, it sits neatly between the more expensive Panasonic TX-L32DT30 3D TV and a cluster of more affordable sets. It’s an active-shutter 3D set and you’ll need a pair of Samsung’s 3D glasses, which start from just over £50. Samsung’s design boffins obviously reckon that more is more – so a full complement of features is present and correct.
There’s access to the company’s Smart Hub, finally now offering BBC iPlayer, plus LoveFilm’s streaming movie service, apps for the likes of YouTube and Facebook and a web browser. It’s happily more of the same when we switch to DVD and Blu-ray. Samsung LE37B550 review from the experts at whathifi. What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Fri, 15 Jan 2010, 12:00pm For Full HD superb black levels clean tuner brilliant all-round picture quality Putting a price against the products we review remains as essential as ever with our mantra of ‘performance per pound'.
Manufacturers are under stricter limitations over setting prices, so, with the wealth of retailers around, especially online, there can be a huge variance in price. This is good news for punters. We've seen B450 and B650 screens from Samsung, but this is our first look at a B550 model, which foregoes 100Hz and offers a lower claimed contrast ratio. Watching brilliant sci-fi thriller District 9, the deathly dark black levels are what strikes us first.

What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Mon, 10 Oct 2011, 12:38pm For Skinny chassis extensive spec tremendous picture-making ability Against Not brilliant off-axis If there’s one area of TV manufacture where Samsung has established itself as a front runner, it’s perceived value.
Take this UE40D5520. The lack of 3D support might drive some into the arms of LG’s 42PW450, but in every other respect the Samsung is the most accomplished sub-£1000 screen we've tested. Excellent spec for the moneyFull HD resolution, Freeview HD tuner, wireless networking with the purchase of a dongle, a chassis depth of less than 3cm, a host of Smart TV online functions (BBC iPlayer, LoveFilm, Twitter and so on), spotless ergonomics and a remote control you don’t have to study at length before use. These are all good reasons to investigate D5520 ownership. The Samsung’s at its most equivocal when upscaling DVDs, and even then it does impressive work. See all our TV Best Buys. Samsung LE40B550 review from the experts at whathifi. What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Fri, 19 Feb 2010, 10:00am For Deep, insightful blacks pure whites vibrant but natural colours brilliant detail and definition clean SD images Against At this price, nothing For more than a year now we've been hearing about inevitable price rises in the flatscreen market.
A 40in screen for £550 is astonishing, and makes the LE40B550 the cheapest set on test by quite some margin. It's not as if the spec's rubbish, either. What's more, its performance is way above and beyond what you'd expect for this money, too. More than a match for pricier sets Kicking off with Inglourious Basterds on Blu-ray, it's immediately apparent this is the best sub-£1000 performer in these parts. It has the deepest blacks of the most affordable sets in its genre too, but there's still enough insight in them to reveal the detail in the dimly lit corners of the house. The light shining through the windows is also brighter and punchier than that produced by price-comparable rivals.
