What reviewers say

HDTVTest and What Hi-Fi praised the 40-inch model's deep blacks, colour balance and detailed picture. Both liked its smart features. HDTVTest found limited viewing angles and a motion-processing quirk on its sample; What Hi-Fi preferred a cheaper Sony rival for value and found Samsung's pointer remote twitchy.
