Samsung LE40A856S1W review

 

A good-looking 40" LCD TV with some not-so-useful extras

Appealing design ; Good value ; Vibrant colour

Contrast-heavy scenes lack detail ; Frustrating remote control

A good all-rounder, this TV will probably sell on its looks alone. Doesn't need its fussy extra features

Samsung LE40A856 review

 

We definitely think Samsung's skinny new screen measures up

Good all-round picture quality ; Beautifully thin design ; Connectivity

Disappointing audio ; Ponderous menus

Samsung manages to deliver a fantastic LCD without any of the usual catches

Samsung LE40A856S1M review

 

Extensive spec ; fine build and slim good looks ; good images, particularly striking black tones

Some stiff competition

The combination of looks, specification and performance means this Samsung elbows its way on to the top table

Samsung's latest LCD is slim, stylish and sports some tasty media-streaming skills

A superb, stylish high-end TV at a mid-range price. If only the speakers were better

The Samsung LE40A856 is Samsung's best-looking television yet. Luckily the awesome full-HD images match the eye-licking aesthetics.

Full 1080p resolution and 100Hz motion plus

Black levels aren't as black as your black heart

The Slim Series 8 LCD TV offers a truly unique viewing experience. The Series 8 LCD is equipped with LCD technology such as 100Hz motion plus, full-HD 1080p and ultra-clear panel. The Series 8 is also a multimedia centerpiece with features like...

Fantastic looks, a skinny frame that’s about as thick as celery, a huge range of connections (did we mention those four HDMI ports?) and most importantly superb picture quality – this really has all the ingredients required to make a fantastic...

Samsung Series 8 (LA52A850)

 

Samsung's Series 8 TVs are nestled between the incredibly impressive Series 7 and Series 9. They are more expensive than the Series 7 units and only a...

Impressive blacks, great colours, sharp image, lots of features, ultra-thin design

Some noticeable uniformity issues, a little detail lost in dark areas, large screen reveals more of the flaws in standard-definition footage

Another great TV from Samsung, the Series 8 offers the same excellent image quality and features found in its other units. However, its awkward positioning in the company's range may turn off some users who are willing to spend a little more to get the...
