The following is a review of the Samsung UE40D5520
Packaged the whole thing is compact and neat. The weight is also very pleasant.
The structure of the stand is not a problem with four screws and done quickly. Only during the assembly of the foot to the TV, we have done something difficult. Upon insertion of the foot you have to take a closer so it snaps right on the device. The fixing of the screws was also tricky because it does not hit right away the threads and screws might be a bit longer. With a little pressure on the screwdriver, it eventually went. Device, is checked off.
All connections are located on the rear panel and go, for the purpose of wall mounting, away either to the right or down.
The connection of components and connectors scart is in each case using a supplied adapter.
After the TV is connected the “plug and play” starts, which, according to the label, allowing intuitively without much effort to set up the TV.
Network settings, I’ve skipped over because I have the TV not connected to the Internet. After the automatic channel search is all done and you can dedicate the merits of the TV.
Since we have the picture in analog cable customers operation is of course no revelation. Compared to our predecessor, Samsung, and also more than 3 times as expensive, the picture is somewhat better.
The fun begins, however, when you play HD material. I was particularly impressed with the Samsung ue40d5520 when I have connected a hard drive to the USB port. The not combined came about and also very fast access to files smoothly. Self. Mkv were played without stuttering. Super! The picture is very clear and contrasted. Compared to a conventional LCD absolute top!
I tested the gaming capability via PS3 with FIFA 11. Even here the picture is flawless. Fast movements are displayed without visible delay.
Clouding I could not determine when the device even though I specifically looked for it. The complete picture is evenly lit for my taste.
The reflective display is of course a topic of discussion. While it sucks in poor light penetration and restricts the Ferseherlebnis, on the other hand, it provides for a clear looking image. Crucial here is probably the location and orientation. For us it is not disturbing.
All in all I can say anything negative about the television on. In the price range is a very good choice. I rate the value for money in terms of my requirements and not compare with devices that are twice as expensive.
For all the good TV mainly for video games, Blu-Ray and DVD, no need 3D, normally watch TV sometimes and want to spend a fortune, I may make a recommendation good conscience.
