Samsung UN40EH5300 - 40" Diagonal Class 5 Series LED-backlit LCD TV - Smart TV - 1080p (Full HD) 1920 x 1080

I had purchased two Visio 42" TV's before this one. The first was refurbashed and had a lot of cosmetic issues. I returned and purchased another one. That one had a horible picture. Then I changed brands and purchased a 40" Samsung smart TV. The picture is spectacular and I had no problem setting up the Smart TV functions. I love this TV and will stick with Samsung from now on.

You will NOT regret this purchase! This is the best TV purchase I have ever made. This shows why Samsung is one of the world's most popular tech ocompanies. The TV has the best picture, sound quality, and turns on quickly. I feel like I am in there with the actors and doing the activities. Definitely will purchase Samsng for my next Tv!

Great buy, very satisfied with the features available. Can be used as additional monitor, excellent video quality for streaming movies. With wireless connectivity mouse and keyboard can be connected from anywhere from the room. Wireless mouse can act like a remote when TV is connected to laptop through HDMI and if streaming from a PC, no need to stay closer to the laptops wireless mouse can handle most of the activites. The Xbox playstation will add an awesome gaming experience. Youtube, Netflix apps work really great. since the youtube connects to any device, anything can be played on the TV through laptop , mobile or ipod which really adds amazing options. with the Galaxy S4 having remote feature adds a new dimension to the suggestive programs and also the mobile can act as a remote. HDMI , USB connectivity ensures I can connect any camera, hard disk , laptop almost any device with the memory and enjoy family pictures, wonderful trip experiences in HD on big screen. This is really a wonderful companion in home which is sure to add joy in living everyday.

I am very happy with this tv. It is everything and more than I wanted it to be. Great features - it was easy to hook up, add DirecTV to, hang on the wall, sound is decent and great color. I think that anyone who would buy this tv would be very satisfied. I had read other reviews and debated but I am glad I moved forward and purchased it.

Bought the Samsung UN40EH5300 Smart TV to replace a recently purchased Vizio 39" Smart TV. The Vizio wasn't bad, but I bought the Samsung Smart TV primarily to have access to the Plex app. I use Plex as my media server on my mac mini on my main TV (also a Vizio) and now that I have this TV with the Plex app downloaded from the Smart Hub store, I can now be in my bedroom watching all of the movies that are stored on the mac mini in the living room! My wife was annoyed with me returning one new TV for another, but she's thrilled now that she sees the added benefit of having the new Samsung Smart TV. I must admit, the layout and the choice of apps are also much better than those on the Vizio Smart TV.

We "upgraded" from a Samsung 32" LCD to this 40" LED Smart TV. While it does everything it is supposed to, we did not fully understand the limitations of a typical "smart" TV. We hoped to be able to watch missed episodes of TV shows directly from the TV network's website, as we previously did through a laptop connected into the 32". However, we learned too late that the "smart" feature does not include full PC-type interface and support. You must subscribe to paid services such as Hulu to enjoy this feature. Since there is no VGA input on the 40" Smart TV, we can no longer connect the laptop to it without additional expenditure for a VGA-to-HDMI converter and cord adapter. Otherwise, we are satisfied with the picture quality. The sound quality is typical of mid-range flat screen TVs: nothing to write home about. This did not matter to us as we have it connected to a home theater system. Set up and connection to home wireless network was quick and well-guided through the on-screen procedures.

This set looks really good in the family room. The picture is noticeably brighter than any hdtv set that I have owned and it has wonderful color with great contrast. The speakers are in the rear, so placed in my alcove they sound hollow when set is first turned on, but this becomes unnoticeable after a minute and acceptable (i think bose uses this reflecting method in their infomercial products to make sound seem bigger). The thin bezel looks nice when tv is not on but takes getting used to watching as the picture lacks the framing we are accustomed. The built-in apps are a convenience (with the hdmi jacks it is just as easy to watch the apps from a pc or ipad instead). We use netflix lots so this works for us, most of apps require extra fees. The web browser is unneeded (again just use a pc) and frustrating to use without a mouse and keyboard (not supplied). My recommendation: this is a very fine tv at a good price ($449). When shopping, great pix and sound for price are the goals. The apps and browser are bells and whistles so dont pay more to get them.

We've had our tv for about a month now and really like it. We bought it to upgrade our 32" Samsung LED, which we still are very happy with - in a smaller room. We have the sound hooked up to our stereo surround sound, so I really can't speak to the quality of the sound. I think the only cons we have are the cursor and the search feature when online. They are very slow when compared to a mouse and keyboard. We bought a wireless keyboard and that has helped a lot. The other negative is watching TV shows from the internet. It's so slow and choppy with a lot of buffering that it's not worth watching. One reason for buying this tv was to do away with cable. At this point we'll need to keep cable to be able to watch many of the shows (our local news station, PBS, HGTV etc.) we like. We are able to watch online tv shows from our computers. That being said, Netflix and Pandora work wonderfully. We haven't had the time to try Amazon, Hulu plus or some of the other apps on this tv.

Samsung owner's manual leaves a lot to be desired. The TV has many features which are not adequately covered in the manual. There is an assumption of a level of knowledge that does not necessarily exist. Speaker sound quality in this day and age should be far better than this TV provides. The optional speaker bar should be able to be attached to the bottom of the TV just like some computer monitors have. The optional sub woofer should be available as either wired or wireless not just wireless.

Purchased TV well below market price. That made this TV my best choice for my money. There are 2 important things you should consider before buying this TV or any Samsung Smart TV. One is that the 120 Clear Motion Rate is still only 60Hz so pictures in fast motion will still look clearer in true 120Hz. The scond is the remote, which works well as a TV remote, functions poorly with Apps and is almost usless with Internet. If you want to use Internet or Apps, I recommend looking at Vizio as an option as the include a 2 sided remote that works well compared to a normal keboard. This Samsung is a very good TV in most aspects but I recommend only buying if discounted 40% or more.
