Samsung - 40" Class (39-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - HDTV

The TV is great for a bedroom tv or kids game room. If you plan to wall mount the tv the HDMI cables come out the back, and you'll need to modify your set up. The 2 HDMI ports are vertical and with a traditional wall mount the tv doesn't latch, because of the cables hitting the wall. I don't like the tv sticking out far, but as a temp fix I used longer bolts and plastic spacers to get an extra 1/2 - 3/4 inch. I bought a right angle adapter so the cables will be flat against the tv, and I can remove the spacers and have the tv closer to the wall. Since the HDMI ports are vertical, only one adapter can be used. We plan to have a PS TV to remote play our PS4, PS3, Wii, Firestick, etc... I bought a 5 port switch (Kinivo 501BN) to be able to connect everything on 1 HDMI cable. If you plan to wall mount this TV, I'd look for a different Samsung TV with HDMI ports on the side or bottom. I spent $60 for the 5 port switch box, right angle adapter, and shorter HDMI cables. Since everything connects to the 5 port switch on the entertainment center, I didn't want 6+ foot cables looking messy all over the entertainment center. I would recommend this tv to anyone wanting a cheap tv for kids or a bedroom. If you plan to wall mount it, I'd look for something else. It's pretty thick and the HDMI port set up isn't ideal. I ordered online and didn't pay attention to the thickness since it was LED, my other 2 Samsung LED TVs are very thin. After picking it up and actually wall mounting it, I'm sure this TV will be replaced when I get a larger tv for the front room within the next 2 years.

I bought this TV with high hopes, especially after all of the rave reviews. I knew it was only a 60hz, but I thought I would give it a try. I have a 55" Samsung 7100 240hz 3D Smart TV, so I know Samsung delivers a good product. I've done hours of research on TV's to understand the Hz and all that good stuff. So, Best Buy was great, they price matched the TV for me and I was on my way. I got it home, hooked it up and started watching TV. The hook up, took maybe 10 minutes, if that. Super easy. As I was watching TV I noticed a lag in the picture. The next scene would come and there were pixels left from the prior scene. I had been watching for about 30 minutes and it was already driving me nuts! By then, I had decided it was going back. The picture was pixelating, it had a lag, I was not impressed at all. I have no idea how this TV has gotten such good reviews. It's a 60 hz TV and the picture and the blur left behind a fast moving object, is that of a 60 hz TV. If you are okay with that, by all means, get this TV. I was not. I went back and got the Samsung 40" 6350 120hz Smart TV. Wow! What a difference! Its a true 120hz TV, there is no lag in the picture and the picture is crisp. Many TV's descriptions are very deceiving. Some show a "Clear motion 120hz." This is NOT 120hz TV, it's a 60hz. The Best Buy guy tried telling me that the hz didn't really matter, it was the processor inside that made a difference. Well, this TV must have a slow processor, cause the TV can't keep up with the picture. Do yourself a favor, upgrade from this TV. Get a TRUE 120hz, you'll be glad you did.

I have a samsung 32 inch tv in the bedroom. I am so happy with it I wanted another Samsung. I almost did not buy this because of comments made in the negative reviews. I would like to address them. This is an energy star tv,so think of it this way,all settings are at low power to save energy.These were some of the reviewers complaints that almost stopped me- 1-Terrible volume,can not hear it. It has a built in equalizer,set to low(again energy saving) slide the bars over to a higher level. My tv goes 1-100 on volume,after adjustment i cant stand it over 25.Speakers sound good. 2- dim picture, 3 light settings, pick one 3-bad color-multiple saturation settings(energy) 4-This is my favorite. Samsung poorly enginered this product because I had to run to 3 different stores to buy an extra long screw driver to put this together. A standard length #2 screwdriver is what is needed 4 half inch screws hold the base together,then slide into back of tv, four more screws.Why would Samsung ship it this way?, so it can be hung on the wall without a base hanging from it,not to save shipping cost. 5. This tv does not have an earphone jack. This takes away the inexpensive option of adding a cheap set of computer speakers for those of us not wanting mega bass, knock the neighbors picture off the wall,heart stopping volume. 6. This tv is so complicated To adjust we hate it. I am technically challenged due to my generation and have not had a problem. Maybe this tv is not the greatest.Six years ago I bought the same size in 720p and paid 800 dollars.Is it perfect?,no. Price,size,resolution,picture quality,my budget,best purchase I ever made.

When I first turned on this TV to an HD movie (Kingdom of Heaven) I let out some spontaneous "holy this or that" expostulations. Of course, I was upgrading from an Insignia 32" so maybe I was too easy to please, but I've had decent-sized TVs before and still this picture tops my previous experience, with beautiful cinema-quality tones, crisp lines and rich deep blacks, The unusually detailed and intuitive Menu allows easy fine-tuning of pretty much anything you'd want to adjust, although after some experimentation I reverted to the default settings, which actually had it best. In HD this TV can actually convey something far closer to what movie directors had in mind, which we don't usually ask TVs to do. That said, I've had some disappointment with recorded shows (e.g., a Game of Thrones episode accidentally recorded not in HD) where the whole screen developed a pastiche of purple and other-color artifacts which formed a kind of messy pixilated transluscent layer that didn't move with the picture. Quite distracting and bothersome since I'd had friends over to watch it. I have no idea why the TV did this, despite some Google cruising for answers, although truly I haven't noticed it at other times so it's not a running problem. But it shook my faith in the TV's capacity to interpret not-so-great on-line recordings. And of course if you care about sound quality at all you'll want a sound bar or other external speakers, as the sound on all these flat screen TVs is typically very mediocre and this one is no exception. Just be sure your external speakers can sync to your remote - I tried and had to return a Vizio sound bar that didn't.

This replaced a damaged LED HDTV for my office trade shows. One feature I was hoping to find was the ability of the HDTV to play movie files from USB. This would eliminate the need for a separate laptop or computer to be connected. I FOUND IT!! To my surprise, the Samsung UN40H5003AFXZA HDTV has 1 USB input port. It then uses Samsung's ConnectShare built in software to run the movies. I can run *.MP4, *.WMV, *.MOV files with no issues. Setting them up to repeat individually, or repeat an entire folder, is easily controlled within the software of the HDTV. The picture quality at 1080P is also good. Many of the videos I play are in HD quality and this HDTV has no problems showing off dark blacks and bright colors. Overall, I am pleased to find this HDTV with a USB port and the ability to play "all" of my video files straight from the USB stick. I highly recommend this unit for those seeking similar needs.

After being on vacation and watching football games on the villa's HD TV, my wife, yes, that's right, my wife, decided it was time we replaced the 25+ year old Sony tube TV in our living room entertainment center with an HD TV (and not wait until the Sony broke to replace it). We wanted a basic, no frills flat screen, and after running the usual big box store trap line (Best Buy, Costco, Target, Wal-Mart), we liked the Samsung picture the best, and this particular model happened to be on a great pre-Christmas sale at Best Buy. Set up was simple (taking 1/10 of the effort of getting the old 75-pound Sony out of the entertainment center). The picture quality is great and if the Ravens didn't stink worse than our dog's breath I would have watched more games. (What's John Harbaugh's record since Ray Lewis retired anyway? Makes you wonder who was really coaching that team...) We considered a smart TV, but reviews complaining about slow load times for smart features added to concerns that the "smart" features might become out-dated faster than the TV, not to mention that plugging in a Fire Stick or Roku works just fine. Overall, this is a terrific product (unless it breaks tomorrow) even if it won't melt your friends with envy (but if you're into that kind of thing, you're probably not looking at a TV this size unless you're hooking up an entertainment center in your Hummer).

Picture quality was not that good, but it was less that $300.00. I purchased this TV on 01/19/16. On 02/19/2016 I turn on the TV and all I hear is a squealing on the TV. This was on all channels and the only way to stop it was to mute the TV. I contacted Best Buy in The Woodlands, TX, where I purchased the TV, and ask about an exchange on the TV. I was told that it would have to be sent in to Samsung for service. I was also informed that this would take around 10 days at a minimum for repairs. I have had this TV for 1 month exactly when it malfunctioned. I will be going and purchasing a new TV, Not SAMSUNG and not from BEST BUY! I have been a Best Buy costumer for many year and that ends now. If I sold a product that only lasted 30 days I would stand behind it. If you don't keep your costumers happy then you don't keep costumers.

This is my first HD tv. My old tv was 12 years old and on it's last legs, so this was the next step. I did the research , with some help from a friend, and found the 40" Samsung, which I love. Not sure how, but the settings were perfect right from the beginning and two weeks later still haven't needed any adjustments. I am extremely happy with the quality of the picture and sound, not to mention things I didn't expect like having no glare from my window (with my old tv, I had to close the blinds to see the picture). While the service I received at the store, Cherry Hill, was excellent and the salesman was very knowledgeable, I did have issues with the delivery person. The salesman had told me that the delivery guy would hook up the tv to the cable box to make sure the tv was working. Long story short, I literally had to fight with the delivery person to get this done. When I spoke to customer service afterwards, they confirmed that the salesman was correct and the delivery person was supposed to set up the tv for me. As it turned out, the tv was damaged so they had to take it back with them. I ended up picking up a new one at the store the next day and was refunded the delivery fee, no questions asked. In addition, the people at the pick-up counter opened the new box and set up the tv to make sure it was working before I left the store.
