What reviewers say

HDTVTest and What Hi-Fi praised the 40-inch model's detailed picture, useful smart features and sound. Both criticised aspects of its 3D motion. HDTVTest found sluggish menus and strong calibrated blacks; What Hi-Fi found the interface responsive but wanted deeper blacks and less red in skin tones.

Picture processing
HDTVTest identifies 200 Clear Motion Rate, without the higher Series 7's Micro Dimming, on its 40-inch UK model. Samsung's older online specification table is empty.
Picture modes
HDTVTest's 40-inch set offers Movie mode, two- and ten-point white balance, colour management and separate blur and judder controls.
Motion handling
Native panel refresh is unpublished in the checked maker manual. HDTVTest found forced interpolation on 3D Blu-ray films in its 40-inch test, with judder when defeated using Game Mode.
Viewing angle
HDTVTest observed colour and contrast washout beyond about 45 degrees off-axis on its 40-inch sample.
