The LE40C530 Review

Review 1

Purchased this TV without the support of my husband who is a complete technology and review reading freak. He initially wanted to find a 100HZ model but as it cost about £600 and funds were tight after xmas, opted just to take a chance on this one at £360.Great size but you do need sufficient distance from the seating area in order to fully appreciate the picture. Initial setup was easy for me and once my husband came and changed the standard HD cables from our sky box and DVD to THAT cable branded stuff, the picture was fantastic. We had been watching a cheap German brand 32 inch model which gave up after 5 years. Usual Samsung build quality and the remote is more than adequate. Fine tuning of the picture settings was well worth the effort. Scour the internet reviews and tests to get the best settings then tweak them for your own room. Our DVD collection has a new lease of life although it’s not full on 200 Hz Picture or in 3D, I cannot fault the value of this television. No dead pixels found after about 35 hours use. All the connections I will ever need for the next 5-6 years, by which time; who knows what the standard TV will be. Exceptional service from Amazon and the courier even called at our house on his return home after leaving a while you where out notice.

Review 1

Having decided to buy a bigger TV, I liked the look of the Samsung LE40C530 40in and started trolling through all the reviews. I soon decided, judging by so many positive comments that for £365.50 at that time, this was the TV for me and ordered it in mid January 2011. It was delivered within three days. I followed the simple on-screen instructions for initial tuning, had no problems connecting to my Blu-ray player, amplifier, or to my cable box. Needless to say I'm delighted with this TV.

One small observation you may find helpful, if it's not too obvious; a couple of purchasers wrote that they had difficulty fixing the base as the TV is large and bulky. As I intended putting it in a large bedroom, I simply laid the TV face down on the bed to protect the screen, then had no problem fitting the base. If it's going in your lounge, then maybe laying it on the sofa will offer the best protection as you also fit the base.

This TV is brilliant for the price, I originally bought the LG LD450 (same price bracket) because of all the good reviews (didn’t buy from Amazon)but returned it as I was very disappointed with the picture quality so I bought the Samsung le40c530 instead ,there is no comparison, this TV has a great picture HD and SD channels, I totally recommend it, very happy now

Review 1

I had searched many of the TV before buying this TV and its worth the price.

The picture quality is great and having 3 hdmi is perfect for my Xbox, cable tv and personal laptop to connect.

Highly recommended.

Review 2

The TV has an excellent picture even without a HD box. It looks great on the wall and bigger than i expected. I bought mine for a really good price and i had no problems with the seller. Would defiantly recommend.

Review 3

I upgraded from an old cathode-ray type Sony TV, which had an excellent picture, apart from missing the sides of the broadcast program to this 40" LCD HD-TV, which is fantastic. It was extremely straightforward to set-up; it is easy to navigate through and the Eco-Solution picture mode is a great idea. The quality of the picture is amazing, particularly with the HD channels. No complaints so far, and the price and delivery from Amazon were also without fault. It is a Which Best-Buy model by the way.

More real than reality with HyperReal Engine

Your mind won’t believe your eyes. That’s how breathtakingly stunning the picture quality you get with Samsung’s HyperReal engine is. Enabled by Super 3C Realization, the picture is as unrivalled as it is unbelievable. This way, you’re never just watching a movie, you’re living it.

Wide Colour Enhancer

Capturing nature is the goal of an artist. We've achieved it as well with our Wide Colour Enhancer. Our unique 3D colour stretching technology saturates each pixel until it achieves the true colour and luminescence intended by nature. So every colour on the RGB spectrum is brought to life. It is a work of art.

This TV doesn’t settle for less than perfect

A picture that’s smooth and clear doesn’t always magically appear. That’s why many of our latest HDTVs are equipped with a digital noise filter. When you have a less-than-perfect picture in a poor reception area, this filter reduces the analog noise created during transmission, reproducing clear images, sharp details, and bringing images back to their original beauty.

Review 1

We purchased the 40" Samsung to replace our 32"LCD Sony.We like eveything about this television.
Delivered 4 days from purchase date,using free super saver,City Link (courier)
It took less than 30mins to fit stand and auto tune etc.Picture and sound quality excellent.
Considering the size,it is easily lifted,and would look good wall mounted,but we prefer free standing and the
supplied stand allows adjustment to suit required veiwing angle.
A slim, well designed television which we would recommend to anyone.

Review 2

I bought this for my parents, who wanted an HD TV that was simple to use and reliable. I chose Samsung as it's a trusted brand and I have not been disappointed. Picture quality is great, as is sound quality. I don't know anything about the technical side of TVs but I do know that this was a good purchase. The price is amazing.

Review 3

I brought the samsung 40inch widescreen with express delivery, I then put my tv up easy to assemble, however it was on for a few hours it then suddenly turned off. I switched it back on and the whole time their would be volume but no picture what so ever, i then complained to amazon about this. I received an email the same day saying they will send me another one. I received that two days later and now this one itself is working perfectly!

Main points

1. Good picture quality - we are not TV aficionados but it does the job
2. Was easy to set up and connect to our cable box and DVD player
3. It doesn't weigh much so can be moved around quite easily
4. We have it mounted on stand which rotates and we find this useful for accessing cables and sockets behind TV
5. Read quite a few reviews on Amazon which were very useful especially from the 'geeky types' - very much appreciated
6. Bought this when it was on offer from Amazon

I upgraded from an old cathode-ray type Sony TV, which had an excellent picture, apart from missing the sides of the broadcast programme (!) to this 40" LCD HD-TV, which is fantastic. It was extremely straightforward to set-up; it is easy to navigate through and the Eco-Solution picture mode is a great idea. The quality of the picture is amazing, particularly with the HD channels. No complaints so far, and the price and delivery from Amazon were also without fault. It is a Which Best-Buy model by the way.

Sound and Picture

ive only had this telly few hours but i have to say the sound and picture quality are far better than i ever could of hoped for and has left my old tv which was an lg make on its sorry backside.I have my tv hooked up to my sky hd box and now i appreciate programmes and films far more than before, i also have my ps3 hooked up as well with an hd cable and the games i have given a quick try on this new telly are even more realistic adding to my game enjoyment.The tv was delivered prompt and intact and once again i cant praise amazon enough for their service provided. I end by saying i would highly recommend this product and would go as far as to say this cheaper version of tv leaves many of the dearer tv's in its wake.

Excellent product and service

I purchased this TV for my daughter Ruby as an upgrade to her old 26" CRT. This new Samsung LE40C530 40-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD TV with Freeview is of superior quality to its Model predecessors and definitely good value for money. The image is very precise and sharp even without HD connectivity.

Easy to set up - plug and play and the best part is Amazons excellent order and delivery service - the item arrived within 36 hrs of purchase (although they state 3/5 days free delivery) - I had to call them soon after placing the order due to a duplication error on my part - and they were very professional, thorough and curtious about the correction process.
