Samsung - 40" Class (40" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV

The TV is wonderful with everything I expected from Samsung. The digital tuner is what I wanted most using outdoor antennas. Looks like we are watching in 3D with so much contrast, it is much higher than I imagined. The minature remote with hardly any buttons at all is a drawback. Good thing I have 4 other Samsung remotes, plus a Harmony 700 to use. If not, it takes so many button pushes that can be accomplished with a better remote. Not sure what Samsung was thinking doing this, maybe if all you did was stream Netflix, it would be fine. If you have 4 other devices hooked into your system, then you need access to these also. Icluding pic of remote, not TV.

I'm using this Samsung 4K - 40" to replace a 32 inch 1080p Samsung I use for small business graphics and web site work, plus accounting and point of sale system maintenance. This 40 inch 4K is a huge improvement for my purposes. Colors, brightness and contrast are awesome. It is the perfect size to show two full web pages side by side for various system maintenance tasks. The amt of video I've watched on it (Netflix mostly) so far is minimal, but the quality is exceptional with native 1080p content. Sound is better than most on board speakers I've heard, with plenty of volume range. Of course, adding amplification and external speakers would probably be desired for home theater or gaming setups, however stock sound is sufficient for most other application. The 2K-4K upscaling engine works well to improve sharpness and resolution of 2K content. Haven't seen native 4K content on it yet, but have to assume it will be at least minimally sharper with more dynamic range. I do not game (wish I had the time) on this panel, but bought it after reading reviews from others, many who're using it primarily for gaming and say it is great (with caveats of course) for that purpose as well (read those reviews for specifics). I bought it on sale and for my purposes, it'd be very tough to beat the value of this puppy for the price.. Am very satisfied. Side note: This is my 2nd of 3 - 4K LED screens purchased at BB since Thanksgiving '16, after owning only 1080p's prior. The other two - 4K screens are a Hisense 55" with HDR 10 compatibility and a Hisense 50" 4K w/out HDR compatibility. I believe this Samsung 40" does have low end HDR functionality also. Although the higher end 4K's than these have more advanced HDR and picture technology, they start at twice the price. The picture quality of these 3 low end 4Ks is worlds above any good quality 1080p LED screen. The difference between these and higher end 4K's is minor in comparison. Thus, I won't be considering a new 1080p panel ever again, while these great value 4K's regularly go on sale at Best Buy for just a few dollars more than their 1080p counterparts ;-).

I'm happy with purchase and use this TV as a computer monitor. My present video card does not support 4K and so it's a 1920 x 1080 monitor. It was my intention to use a 4K TV so as to fit more into the 42" panel. The Samung is a companion to a Sony TV 42" Brav1a in a dual monitor setup. I calibrated the Sony for photo editing and when screen matching the Sony and the Samsung, I find the newer Samsung has more contrast and the blacks had to be cut back some to the point they blacks appear grayer. Overall pleased with the purchase. As for the Smart TV feature, I've used it for watching some free DramaFever TV shows. The English subtitles do get lost and we have to pause to let it refresh. Could be a limitation caused by the the speed of my 3 mps internet download. After working about a month the DramaFever app has stopped working and even after uninstalling and reinstalling twice, it fails to load anything, taking a long time going nowhere. All the other Apps (ABC, Netflix, YouTube, etc) are fine. I don't have a subscription to any movies so can't rate viewing paid-for shows. Remote control. It's a clever use of push, pull and squeeze the long switch. I do like the simplicity of the remote. It's a clean look and and keeps sliding off my table. Gladly it came with the battery inserted because I haven't figured out how to open the battery compartment. : ) Sound. TV sound is decent. There is no head phone jack. I will have to get an optical cable and an analog converter to output the sound. Haven't tried that yet. Samsung has several TVs in this 42" range. The TVs even have similar model numbers and trying to compare them is like nit picking, but the nit piking nuances may be important to others. I got this based on price and 42" size during the Black Friday sales this past November 2016.

I can watch all my favorite cable shows as well as YouTube, Netflix,etc. it fits perfect on the wall in my exercise room. Great sound and picture for the price I paid.

The price seemed right and why get a monitor, when a 4k TV would be just as good? Very nice picture, but I should have checked to make sure it had a split screen. The next day I saw a bigger 4k for almost $100 less.

This TV has amazing 4K display as I play PS4 pro on it. Amazing amazing product great shipping and even for better price

I just have it hooked up to an antenna and wifi and the picture is crystal clear. All the wifi functions work perfectly from Netflix to YouTube to MyCloud, the only device that actually works great with the MyCloud. Sound quality is fine and its the perfect TV for my den.

Samsung 4K is the one to buy hands down. This is a must buy! Great quality great picture!
