Samsung - 40" Class (40" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - Smart - HDTV

I spent a lot of time at the store comparing screens. I walked in with the intention of getting a 40" Sony Bravia since it's supposed be a high quality name. However, the Bravia had an issue with displaying the color known as "black". When I saw all of the screens side by side, the Samsung seemed a cut above the rest-- clear and great color quality. The salesman told me this J6200 model had just arrived about a month ago. When I saw the sale price, I decided to go with this Samsung. I made the right call, it is excellent! You can customize the picture any way you want. The sound is great for my normal sized living room, I do not feel the need to get a sound bar at all. It doesn't have that horrible "fuzzy" sound when you turn the volume up like a lot of TV's do. And it doesn't blast music compared to the talking. There is a volume leveling option to keep everything at the same volume, I love it. The built-in Netflix is great. I had to do a software update the first time I plugged it in-- I recommend selecting Yes when you are asked to do this. It solved issues some people were having with Netflix at first. It's working great now and you do NOT need to re-login to Netflix every time you use it. Everything works great. It has a "sports" button on the remote to switch to sports mode when watching a game. This gives a brighter look and higher volume in one touch. You can also pick a "movie" mode which I use most of time, and a standard energy saver mode which supposedly only costs $7 per year on your energy bill if you use this. You'll want to turn off that "MotionPlus" or "ClearMotion" feature in the picture settings, that's what people call the Soap Opera Effect. I turned it off immediately and it looks great now. (Most people hate this feature, it looks so strange. I wish manufacturers would have it off by default) To sum up, great picture, colors/blacks, options, smart hub/netflix, and sound. A totally customizable picture. What more could you ask for? Especially for under $500. This is an excellent deal!

I was looking for another TV before they stopped producing them being user friendly. There getting to difficult to operate because they preform and have to many functions. I'm old school and prefer simple operation. For the size of my living room the 40" is perfect. I have a 5 series Samsung 40" TV that I bought from BB three years ago. It is still a good TV and we use it everyday, but it's refresh rate is only 60.But this new 6 series has the 120 motion refresh rate and I can really see the difference. The 6 series also has a feature called a" Wide Color Enhancer". The picture doesn't fade out if your setting more to the side instead of being right dead center in front of it. And the colors are so much brighter, crisper, sharper, and truer with this Color Enhancer. And it's still simple to use and tweek being also a smart TV. Leave it to Samsung, they know how to make electronics. I would have given it a full 5 stars but the sound quality on this model is still the same as on my 5 series. You have to use a sound bar. Great sound goes with a great picture. They had a 7 series that was just forty dollars more. It was slimmer, the picture had that same color enhancer, and the sound was superb. It had the new improved larger speakers. I wouldn't have needed a sound bar. But the stand was so ugly. The TV looked like it was sitting on a boomerang. I much prefer the simple black basic rectangle shaped stand. I have the same stand on my 5 series and I love it. I polish them with a car wax made for plastic and fiberglass and it makes the stand beautiful. And the rectangle stand fits the 40" TV perfectly. It's form and function together. The boomerang stand was just plain ugly. If the 7 series had the same rectangle stand as the 6 series did, I would have bought that one to because of the picture and speakers and just stuck it in a closet and saved it until my next TV goes out. I would have had a really nice spare without having to buy a sound bar. But for the review on the 6 series the one I did buy...I'm extremely pleased. I saved $150.00 off the original price and I'm really pleased with the picture quality. I differently got my moneys worth.

Good Afternoon, I always try to write these reviews in the hopes of helping someone out. I purchased this TV as a Christmas gift not even two years ago, this past summer I would say just around the start of May the picture gave out. We had no picture only sound, after looking into this and placing a few calls to the Samsung service center they informed me that they could fix it for about $400 not to mention how much it would cost for them to come out and look at it, they wanted $80 just to come to my house. I then contacted PC Richards where I bought the TV. They sent out two guys "Winters Service" the owners company name. The owner of the truck never even got out of his truck, he sent some young looking kid maybe in his early 20's who came into the house looked at the remote tried to turn the TV on and told me "You need to buy a new TV" he then told me "My boss Joe said this house call is $50". $50!? Are you kidding me for what? I could do the same thing and call myself a "PC Richards" "tech". PC Richards "pride" themselves on "106 years" of service then hire guys who don't care about the customers who pay their hard earned money. I was outraged, you think when you purchase a "Sumsung" product your getting the very "best". I placed a few more calls and found a TV repair store willing to change the entire inverter light and panel for $250. After shelling out the $250 the TV was back up and running but talk about a nightmare, do yourself a favor if your thinking about buying this TV "DON'T"! If your thinking about purchasing anything from PC Richards "DON'T"! Not to mention the sound on this TV is awful, can't hear a thing without a soundbar. I hope this review helps. Thanks

Purchased this TV as a replacement for a 32 inch Vizio we had in our bedroom. After getting it mounted up on the wall we have really enjoyed it. There are a few cons. 1. Speaker volume is okay. Since we are using it for a bedroom TV, it works good enough. In a larger room you will most likely want to pair with a sound bar, or surround sound. 2. Smart apps. The smart apps interface seems really dated, and clunky to use. I recently saw the new interfaces on the lg smart tvs, and that blows this out of the water. Personally, I have a Chromecast hooked up, so I rarely even use the smart apps built into the TV. Pros - 1. The TV does have a powered usb port on the back, enabling it to power the Chromecast. 2. Picture quality is good, and as expected with Samsung panels. 3. Screen mirroring - Although the built in apps are not that great, the screen mirroring works well. I paired it with both my phone, and tablet, and both mirrored without and hiccups. Overall, as I said, this is a good value. Getting it on sale for 369.99, and having rewardzone certificates made this purchase very worth while.

The UN40J6200 is the first flat-screen TV I have ever purchased. I've been checking prices of various models, and BestBuy had lowered the cost of this model $100 below their normal bargain price right before Thanksgiving. I also had the Geek Squad do the delivery and setup, which took only 15 min. A couple of minutes to download and install a software update over WiFi, and a few more minutes to connect to about 20 OTA channels (I do not have cable). The OTA channels came in very clear and I was amazed at the quality of the picture. This TV is packed with a lot of features, most of which are easy to get at via either the Menu or Tools button on the remote. The remote is is well designed. The hardcopy documentation that comes in the box gives you the basics, but there is an e-manual built in. I recommend you download the pdf manual from the Samsung web site because it's easier to navigate. The sound quality is very good, given the size of the set. There is a menu selection for wall-mounted or stand mounted. The DTS simulated surround sound works well with the internal speakers. There are menu selections that are either dimmed or not visible at all, depending on other menu selections or what is physically connected to the unit. For instance, under Picture settings, Stadium is only visible if you have selected "Sports" under the System menu and BD Wise picture mode is only available if you've connected an HDMI Samsung Blu-Ray player to one of the HDMI sockets. The documentation could be better in this regard. Some reviews posted here about other Samsung sets complained about slow turn-on speed, slow updates, and poor sound. This has not been my experience. The internet WiFi connection runs at about 10Mbits/sec, which is fine given the location of the set. You may want to get a repeater if your connection is poor... Overall, I am very happy with this television.

I bought this TV so I could give my older LG 1080p/60 to one of my children (yes, I get the better TV!). It was a breeze to get out of the box and assemble the stand, plug in my satellite receiver and Bluray player. The next step was getting online. Connection to my WiFi was simple. The only issue was when I launched Samsung's "Smart Hub" application. I wasn't prompted to login, but rather to create a new account. When I put my email address in I was told that there was already an account with that email address (from an old DVD player from way back when), Anyway, I went to their website and reset the password. Then I launched the "Smart Hub" application again and was NOT prompted to login this time (what's up with that?). Anyway, I was disappointed that there isn't a list of applications to download - you have to know what you want and search for it, then it will install if you tell it to. Great for Netflix, VUDU, YouTube, Crackle, TubiTV, but there were apps that I used to get on my Roku that aren't available (Smithsonian Channel, Nat Geo TV and some others). I know those channels required authenticating to my satellite provider on the Roku, but I don't know why those weren't an option here. In any case, I got the important ones installed. Now on to the GREAT part: the color and sound on this TV are absolutely fantastic! I don't need a soundbar because the built in speakers are great. The screen is awesome with crisp colors, dark blacks, and no blur whatsoever (I'm very happy I spent the extra $30 to get the newer model with the 120hz refresh - 60 is good, 120 is great). All in all, I can't recommend this enough! For the price and performance, it is a much better option than a more expensive 4K TV. And it is a real Smart TV, so you don't have to use a smartphone to do stuff (no "casting"!). And there is a fully functional remote control! What a concept! Finally, a center stand is a much better option than the wide feet other manufacturers use. Great job, Samsung!

First I have 2 other Samsung TV's in my house. Both are very good but several years old. I also have a new Sharp and new Sony TV. I returned this TV because of one mail reason. The firmware was out of date by 3 years. The tool on the TV to update would not download this firmware. The software etc was slow and not very responsive. Contacted Samsung was told to download said firmware and insert USB drive containing firmware into TV and use software on TV to install. There is NO option to install from USB drive. So contact Samsung Tech Support and lo and behold the USB port is 1.5. Ancient!!! USB 2.0 was released April 2000. Samsung Tech tells me that TV must have USB 2 to install firmware from USB drive. So the smart TV does not perform well because firmware is out of date but I cannot install via TV software until Samsung so desires and cannot install via USB port because it is out of date. Picture quality was good but was not going to fight the firmware issue so this TV was returned. BTW this was a Geek Squad Certified TV. I mistakenly thought that everything would work great and save a little money. WRONG. Will not buy Geek Squad Certified again.

I have an Xbox One, AppleTV, and Chromecast hooked up to this. I do not have cable service so I cannot comment on the TVs performance with it. The TV is in a medium-sized bedroom. The games I play on the Xbox look insane on this TV! I play Blu Ray movies on the Xbox as well and those look great also. The most recent release I watched on this was Interstellar. Normal scenes in the movie looked OK but the CGI scenes were amazing. There was some noticeable pixelation or halo effect when fast moving objects were going across the screen. This is apparently common with all TVs with a 120Hz refresh rate and you need to change the Auto Motion Plus setting to "Low" to alleviate this. This happened with both Blu Rays and video games. The AppleTV I have is 2nd Gen so it only puts out video at 720p. Still, all of the content looked great despite it not being full HD. The Chromecast is hooked up to the Xbox One's HDMI input. I stream content to it from my 15" Macbook Pro Retina since it's more seamless and stable than the AppleTV (surprisingly). The picture still looks great even when casting non-HD content to it. The SmartHub is convenient but can take a while to start up and is sluggish during operation. A lot of the content/apps are available on my Xbox One and I prefer to use that instead because of the better interface and speed. The sound on this is just OK. Companies are focused on the picture so the sound will never be amazing without a sound bar or system. However, for a bedroom, the sound is perfect. The speakers on this are too weak to distribute clear sound in a larger room. I'm very happy with this purchase but understand that the longevity of this TV is still up in the air. I purchased the Geek Squad protection for 5 years as insurance.
