Introduction

Design

The design of this television may define the classic look for years to come. There is no touch of color, no flashy metallic finish, no extra Gorilla Glass bezel, just a tight black outline to a fine looking LCD display.

We were a little disappointed by the connectivity on this Samsung. These days, two HDMI ports really holds back the home theater enthusiast. There are plenty of consumers that can get by with just two high definition ports, but many others that will simply have to choose another television.

Overall Design

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

Here we have a really svelt television. Samsung has given the consuming public many a dapper television in the past few years, but this time, they have designed the classic HDTV. Like a timeless dinner jacket, the {{product.model}} transcends frill, flash, gimmick, and style, in a tight black bezel and an out of the way stand. Its beautiful simplicity is so spare that it is hard to describe in words. Take a look at the pictures and you will see a very basic looking television that is quite pleasing to the eyes.

Back

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

Sides

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

Stand/Mount

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The stand is unobtrusive, made of black plastic and set back a bit from the display. We were disappointed to figure out that it does not swivel at all. This is a surprise, coming from Samsung, a company that usually includes this feature on their televisions. Without any motion, the ports are hard to access, especially if the television is ensconced within an entertainment center.

On-set Controls

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The manual control joystick is very strange. On the bottom right side of the display, there is a knob that moves in four directions, and can be depressed to make for four more options. When on, the knob can go back-and-forth for channel up and down, or side-to-side for volume up and down. When pushed in, a small menu comes up detailing which directions get you to the following options: menu, media, source, and power.

It's a creative system, but somewhat inconvenient. You end up having to push three buttons to turn the television off. You have to push the knob in to get the menu, pull it back to select power, and then push the knob in again to select off. It's not a burden exactly, but it's not convenient either. We will say that any old knob is better than touch controls.

Remote Control

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The remote on the {{product.model}} is exactly the same as the one from the EH6000, both of which are a derivative of the Samsung remotes from last year. Last year, the remotes were a little bit bigger, the shape fitting into the hand better. We also noticed that the directional buttons were hard to distinguish in the dark. False confidence in the area of the arrow keys made us make incorrect adjustments in the menus several times.

Other than these shortcomings, the remote is well designed. The keys have great travel. The tactile feedback matches the rate of adjustment of volume and other settings. There is also a backlight for the buttons that will light up the keys in the dark. This is especially helpful because the directional keys could be anywhere.

In the Box

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

In the box came a television, a stand, a remote, batteries, a paper manual, and warranty documents.

Connectivity

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

There are two small sections of ports located on the back and right side of the {{product.model}}. Samsung has really simplified their connection offerings this year, scaling back to a couple of analog connections on the back and a handful of digital and HD connections on the side. For the average consumer, keeping it simple is the way to go.

On the back, there is a shared component/composite port, an anlog audio in, an RF antenna port for cable connections, an ex-link port for service, and the SPDIF digital audio out.

On the side, there are two HDMI ports and the USB media port. This seems a bit bare bones to us. If you have an HD cable box, a BluRay player, and an Xbox, there is not room for all three devices. There are also plenty of other devices that use the HD cable. We think two is just not enough.

However, there are plenty of consumers that could get away with two. There are people that want a television just to watch broadcast television (crazy, we know). These people are diminishing in population as TVs become more of an entertainment hub, but the {{product.name}} is designed with this demographic in mind.

We like that the HD and digital ports on the side are mostly separated from the analog ones on the back. There are so few ports that the arrangement remains uncluttered even if all are connected.

The stand is unfortunately static. With no movement to the neck, you have to turn the whole television to get at the ports to make any changes.

Performance

In every one of our tests, the {{product.name}} shot out some all-star results. We liked the black and white detail, the color accuracy and the motion processing. What more is there to say? Take a look at the following sections to get a detail of exactly how these scores match up to some competing televisions.

Contrast

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The {{product.name}} has some tough competition in the contrast comparison chart you see below. With a really strong black level of 0.05, this Samsung shows a great contrast ratio, even compared to televisions with some of the best ranges on the market. It was surprising to see this model outperform the higher level Samsung UN40EH6000 in both black level and peak brightness. You will see that the {{product.model}} has a few advantages over the more expensive EH6000 throughout this review. More on how we test contrast.

Color & Greyscale Curves

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The black line in the gamma graph below represents the amount of grayscale detail a television shows throughout the range of light and dark values determined by the contrast ratio. This particular graph tells us that the amount of detail is almost perfect. The smoothness of the line shows that, for every one of the 256 input values, the {{product.model}} has a resulting output value that is different than any other. Having 256 unique gray values from dark to light means having a great amount of detail at every luminance.

The slope of the line is ideal, except for the early part of the chart in the dark gray region. The highly slanted line here means that the gray values will transition from dark to light too quickly, going from dark black to dark gray rather suddenly. After middle gray, the line has an ideal slope. From a dark gray, all the way to the brightest white, the {{product.model}} shows a ton of detail as well as transitioning evenly, in accordance with the input signal. This is one of the best grayscale graphs we have seen in a long time. Great job Samsung.

The color curves in this chart represent the amount of detail distinction in the three primary colors. You can see that they all have different trajectories. The ideal would be that they all are in line with each other, reaching from 0 to 100% luminance without any flat lines or bumps. We see no bumps really, the smoothness of these lines is excellent, but both the red and blue lines peak before the brightest possible input. After a certain brightness, the red and blue values can have no more detail, as shown by this peaking. The greens seem to be the most accurate, showing that the red values are oversaturated throughout most of the spectrum, and the blues are undersaturated for most of the spectrum. Other than these foibles, the detail in color is mostly very good. More on how we test color performance.

Color Temperature

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The color temperature proved to be too cool for us (it was busy going on dates with cheerleaders and drift racing Nissans). Throughout the spectrum from dark to bright, the color temperature was too high, veering towards the cool and showing a blue tint to pictures. We had the color temperature set on Warm 2, which was the warmest setting possible. Other settings bumped the color temperature up to about 10,000K, way away from the ideal of 6500K. More on how we test color temperature.

Color Gamut

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

Accurate is the best word to describe this color gamut. Rarely do we see all three primary colors and the white point matching the Rec. 709, the international standard set of HDTV colors, so well. This is another one of the advantages the {{product.model}} has over the more expensive EH6000 series by Samsung, which had some very gray greens and oversaturated blues. Such accuracy is a very strong mark of quality for this television. More on how we test color temperature.

Picture Dynamics

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

This section reviews how well the black level and the peak brightness are maintained given differing amounts of black and white on the screen. We find this test important because we picture stunningly bright stars in a night sky, or the jet black nose of a polar bear in the snow. Both of these scenes would be less visually powerful if the blacks were brighter or the whites dimmer. In both tunnel contrast and white falloff tests, the {{product.model}} did not brighten the black level when there was little black on the screen, nor did it dim the peak brightness when there was not much white on the screen. More on how we test picture dynamics.

Resolution & Formats

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The {{product.name}} is a 1080p native display and can handle all standard NTSC formats.

Viewing Angle

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

For an LCD screen, the viewing angle is great. We measure the extent of the viewing angle by recording at which angle the contrast ratio falls below 50%. During testing, we actually saw the contrast ratio increase slightly off-angle, before dropping below 50% at a little more than 35º off-center, for a total of 71º of suitable viewing.

Motion Performance

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

We tested both the {{product.name}} and the Samsung UN40EH6000 back-to-back, giving us an excellent vantage for comparing these two in our more subjective tests, like motion processing. What we saw on the UN40EH6000 was shockingly bad. There were large pixel artifacts at the start and end of every motion, which were visible during actual content as well as our more challenging motion tests.

We saw no such artifacts on the {{product.model}}, in fact, artifacting was less of a problem than detail retention. Faces were no longer recognizable and background details blurred into obscurity, but jagged edges and pixel artifacts were kept to a minimum. Objects with straight edges became distorted while in motion, which is definitely a motion artifact, but this distortion was no worse than what we saw on the 6000, which had a few other unique artifacting problems.

The software differences between these two televisions may explain this mismatch. The EH6000 comes with a 240Hz processing function, an interpolation overdrive function that affects the signal before you get to see it. If this function were improperly tooled, it could create some incorrect frames, something you would not see on the EH5000. For now, we see the {{product.model}} as clearly a better motion processor than the EH6000.

{{product.manufacturer_specs['Motion Performance Image']}}

Screen Uniformity

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

An all-white screen showed some great smoothness, with none of the patchy gray spots that can be a problem for LCD screens. At it's worst, the {{product.model}} showed some slight dimming in the corners, but we were really looking to see it.

When the screen shows nothing but black, the backlights switch off completely, making for an obviously uniform black screen. This scenario never happens, except between commercials, so we have to judge what it would look like when the screen is almost completely dark, like it would during a credit sequence. Just before the screen shuts off, we could see some blooming artifacts caused by the backlights shining through the display. While none of these artifacts were egregious, the blooming disrupted the smoothness of the picture and we could see reflected lights most notably around the edges of the screen.

{{product.manufacturer_specs['Screen Uniformity Image']}}

Audio Quality

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

We don't expect much from 10W speakers, but those that come with the {{product.model}} are passable. They are not a replacement for surround sound speakers, though there is a built-in surround mode called TruSurround that attempts to simulate surround sound by bouncing the sound off the walls around you. We tried this out while watching our usual warfare content, and found that this setting helped to create a depth to the soundscape, where we felt that sounds in the background were further away than those in the foreground, but surround us it did not. If you had some small external speakers with this high powered display, you would be very happy with your overall experience.

Power Consumption

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The {{product.model}} costs a little more than ten bucks a year. LED televisions use so little energy that the yearly costs are almost negligible. This particular model costs less than many of the LED televisions out there, as you can see in the comparison chart below.

{{comparison_bars title="Average Cost Per Year", attribute="Minimum Recommended Cost per Year Measured", xLabel="Dollars"}}

Calibration

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The {{product.name}} required only a few adjustments to shepherd it into a correct picture. We jacked the backlight all the way up, as we do (which incidentally has no affect on the contrast ratio or other qualities because the increased light raises all numbers linearly thus all ratios and transitions are preserved), raised the contrast all the way to get the most detail out of the black and white values, dropped the sharpness all the way to remove the oversharpening halos around all objects, and messed with the color a little to regain some detail in the brightest color values. You can see our calibration settings in relation to the factory settings below.

[

All of our calibration is done in conjunction with the DisplayMate software.

Video Modes

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

We found only a couple of video modes on the {{product.model}}. We always calibrate and test our TVs on the movie setting.

Software & Internet

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The menus are easy to use and match the simplicity of the feature set. The options are laid out in a column on the left side, each of which open up to a menu with settings that are well explained by captions at the bottom of the screen. There really is not too much to control here. You can change the calibration settings, a few advanced video settings, there is an audio equalizer and a few other options like parental locking.

We didn't quite love the way that the menus take up the whole screen. When you change a setting, the menus become a smaller box, but this box sits right in the center of your picture making it less than easy to see how you are affecting the content. It's not terrible but, we've seen better attempts.

Other Interface Features

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The USB interface is idiot proof (no offense to the idiots out there). Plug a USB memory stick or a USB compatible camera into the port on the side of the display and a media menu pops right up, asking if you are looking for video, music, or photos. The paper manual has an impressively long list of compatible video formats, a list of audio decoders, and lets you know that JPEGs are the only type of photos it can read.

For photos, you can watch them in a slideshow. You can control the transition speed and type, while including music for an easy-to-use multimedia presentation.

Instruction Manual

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The instruction manual is like one of those fold out maps that you never know how to refold properly. There is no table of contents, index, or other reference to help you navigate this little guide dotted with miniscule fonts. Following the page numbers seems to be the only way to get around. This may sound obvious, but the pages do not necessarily read from left to right, top to bottom, so the only indication of where to go next is the tiny number at the bottom. The manual tells you what you need to know basically, but it can take some time to find it.

A manual for so many TV models, they have to be further categorized by type.

Value Comparison

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

This comparison is difficult to believe. Samsung claims that the only difference between these two televisions is that the EH6000 series has a higher native refresh rate, a better contrast ratio when using the dynamic contrast function (which we turn off because it detracts from the overall detail of the picture) and comes equipped with a motion interpolation function that can get the CMR up to 480. We looked at the motion processing on the EH6000 and strongly disliked what we saw. With the motion interpolation turned off, the higher native refresh rate did not provide any noticeable improvements over the {{product.model}} in our tests.

If you take away the supposed advantage of better motion processing, the {{product.model}} stands out as far better than the EH6000, with a significantly better contrast ratio, more accurate color production, a wider viewing angle, and a smaller price tag. We are unsure how these two models, so close to each other in the 2012 Samsung line, could be so different, but this is why we test them all. A higher number and more dollars does not mean a better television. It all comes out in our standardized tests, and the {{product.model}} came away with the underdog win. As a side note, the EH6000 series starts at 40 inches and goes up to a 60-inch screen, so if you are looking for larger than a 40-inch screen you will have to consider the EH6000 series.

Blacks & Whites

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

With a deeper black level and a higher peak brightness, the {{product.model}} beats out the higher regarded and higher priced EH6000, both from Samsung. This is why we do the testing on all the models. The manufacturer says there are only a few differences in features between these two, but when we do our usual tests, we see some differences, differences that can save you money and get you a better machine.

Color Accuracy

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The {{product.model}} showed us a more accurate color gamut and superior gamma curves to the EH6000, but lost out big time in color temperature accuracy. The {{product.model}} showed significant errors throughout the spectrum from dark to light, where the EH6000 was mostly dead-on. However, as we see it, the color temperature errors on the {{product.model}} are mostly consistent throughout the spectrum and the result will be that you will not notice the cool tinting because it is on everything. This is why we give the color accuracy win to the {{product.model}}. The color gamut accuracy and the gamma curve reproduction are marks of quality that are harder to achieve and more important for perceiving a strong picture than an erratic color temperature, especially if the errors are consistent.

Screen Performance

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The viewing angle on the {{product.model}} was the widest of the four televisions we compare in this review. The visibility is surprisingly wide for an LCD display in general.

When we compared the motion processing on these two televisions, we found confusing results. According to Samsung, the main difference between these two models is the higher native refresh rate and a motion interpolation function that brings up the CMR to 480 on the EH6000. However, we thought the motion processing was more digestible on the {{product.model}} than the EH6000. We saw some serious artifacts on the EH6000 when the Motion Plus mode was turned on, no such errors on the {{product.model}}. With this interpolation off, we saw about the same level of detail retention and artifacts as we did on the {{product.model}}. If this is the only claimed advantage, and we did not see it as an advantage, we would go with the cheaper of the two almost identical televisions, the {{product.model}}.

Connectivity

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

These two Samsungs have the exact same number of ports and layout design.

Value Comparison

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

From the outside, we see two, similar, flat-screen, LED LCD HDTVs. Looking at the mechanics, we see two very different displays. The {{product.model}} is an ordinary television with high marks in all of our testing categories. The Sony KDL-32EX523 is a smart television that can connect to anything and everything all at the same time. If you are looking for a technological super-theater, the Sony has a great picture, internet connectivity, and will proudly stand in the center of your shrine to the media entertainment gods. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a TV just to watch television and movies, then you can't get much better than this basic television with some outstanding performance scores from Samsung.

Blacks & Whites

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

This Sony model had the best contrast ratio we tested all year last year, and probably beyond that as well. The incredible 7239:1 even broke our scoring model such that it got a rating higher than 10. Comparably, the {{product.model}} doesn't look like much, but it is still a leading television in this category.

Color Accuracy

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

Comparing gamma curves and color gamut, the {{product.model}} has more color detail and primary color accuracy than this Sony. When we look at color temperature, we see that the {{product.model}} had errors throughout the dark to light spectrum, where the Sony mostly did not. We find that if these errors are consistent, like they are on the {{product.model}}, then they are inconspicuous, and should not be heavily factored into the color accuracy assessment. The {{product.model}} is a better color performer than the Sony.

Screen Performance

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The {{product.model}} has a wider viewing angle than the Sony in this comparison, and any other LCD model we matched against it in this review.

We saw fewer artifacts and slightly smoother motion on the {{product.model}} than on this Sony model.

Connectivity

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

Oh the ports! This Sony has two more HDMI ports, another USB port, extra analog ports and things that the {{product.model}} just doesn't have. Both of these televisions show a good picture, so if you have a league of extraordinary devices that you are trying to connect to your entertainment hub, you will be disappointed by the limited selection on the {{product.model}}.

There's more than just accessibility though, the Sony here has built-in WiFi and can connect to streaming content on the web. We know there are consumers that would like to save money, time, and hassle by having a bare bones television that performs it's primary function with professional ease, but there are many more that would like a smart TV with a legion of port connections.

Value Comparison

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The Haier LE46B1381 has three advantages over the {{product.name}}: motion processing, number of ports, and dollars/inch-of-screen ratio. We liked the motion interpolation function on the Haier LE46B1381, but we recommend you turn it off for all film based content, which includes most television shows and just about all movies. The ports were many, but laid out so poorly that you couldn't even use some of them. It is a cheaper television by screen size, but the quality you get from the {{product.name}} is well worth the extra hundred dollars in our esteem.

Blacks & Whites

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The Haier LE46B1381 may have a higher contrast ratio by a hair, but the grayscale gamma curve was atrocious, meaning that the great range determined by the contrast ratio does not really matter, because the detail within this range is terrible.

Color Accuracy

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

As we stated above, the gamma curves for the Haier LE46B1381 were abysmal. There was not a single praiseworthy note to make about the detail for any one of the primary colors, or the grayscale.

The color gamut on the Haier LE46B1381 was better, but not quite as good as what we saw on the {{product.name}}, which also showed spectacular detail in grays from dark to light, as well as solid color detail.

Screen Performance

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

The {{product.name}} has a better viewing angle than the Haier LE46B1381, and a great viewing angle for any LCD screen.

The Haier LE46B1381 showed some better motion performance with the 120Hz function than what we saw on the {{product.name}}. With this function off, the two were about the same, and we say that motion processing should be off for most types of content.

Connectivity

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

Yes, there are more connection options on the Haier LE46B1381, but we found them to be so poorly laid out that some of them, like the USB port, were entirely inaccessible. For more on this debacle, you can read the connection section of the Haier LE46B1381 review.

This is a very subjective summation of this comparison, but we like the simplicity and accessibility of the ports on the {{product.name}} though there are not as many possible connections to be made.

Conclusion

{{product.vanity}}

A 40-inch Samsung for less than $700 is good deal without knowing much more. Being that we are a business based on writing scientific reviews with testing data, we will give you some actual insight on the performance and usability of this product in our conclusion.

The {{product.model}} ($679 MSRP) from Samsung is in many ways the perfect television for some consumers. We do not recommend it for the people trying to setup a technologically advanced home theater, because it lacks internet for streaming video, and the connectivity is limited to two HDMI ports and a singular analog connection. This will restrict the ability to hook up the entirety of your media empire.

We think of our parents when we say this is a great television. The design of the display epitomizes a classic style such that it is wholly unobtrusive and will fit beautifully in any room in the home. The setup couldn't be easier. It is a plug-and-play style television. Once you have this Samsung going, calibration is simple and the picture quality is about the best you can expect, especially for the money. There are enough connections for an HD cable box, a DVD player, and maybe one other device. And that's it. It's simplicity and quality, for a reasonable price, from one of the best brands in the business (and it happens to be a better display than the UN40EH6000 with similar features). If in your later years, you are overwhelmed by new television features, but need a new TV, this may be the best and easiest television you've ever owned, and probably the last one you will ever need.

Model Series Comparison

{{section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}}

You can grab a television in the EH5000 series at 32, 40, and 46 diagonal screen inches. Each of these displays are 1080p, with 10W speakers and only two HDMI ports. They lack advanced features like 3D imaging and internet connectivity, but produce a very accurate picture.
