Review of Samsung LE40A656
Advantages: Looks, ease of use Disadvantages: Picture, speaker,
...when i turned up the Samsung the speaker began to shatter and produced a high treble noise which was extremely annoying, making me resort to the home cinema. Anyways, in order to conclude, my point is that the Plasma, in my opinion is much better, even though it was older and less expensive. Please think twice before choosing which technology to buy. I reccomed Plasma all the way. ...

Advantages: Excellent picture, set looks really nice. Disadvantages: Fan noise.

===First the bad:===
*It has a fan - and you can hear it! If it weren't for this, I would have rated it 5*
* Quality control suspect? My first set had no screw threads in two of the wall bracket holes - the set was replaced. My second set had a fault which meant teletext didn't work, and it always turned on to channel 16. Replaced again. Third time lucky, and the fan was quieter than the other two - but still too loud. (At 10 feet viewing ... ...you're using it to wake you up in the morning you need to check it regularly. It loses the time setting altogether when you switch off the mains.
*If the set is off, when you wipe it round with the duster, it switches on. (I would never have noticed this one! :-)
===Now what you'd expect:===
*The sound is good for a flat panel TV, but that's it. You can't expect HiFi from a plastic case this size. Quality sound is a science of its own, and LF ...

Advantages: Good Value for money, good quality Disadvantages: a feature can't be used to its full.
...unbelievable for this price. The Samsung tv boosts the colour and the sharpness of the television making it a pleasure to watch your favourite programs
Also the viewing angle on the television is very good as you can watch the tv from nearly 180 degrees. The 1080p screen resolution helps moving objects look smooth. This tv also has a few disadvantages. The Movie Plus and Edge Enhancement processing. these can cause flickering and and the sound quality ...

Advantages: Everything is so much clearer, just like the real thing. Disadvantages: None
I have owned this TV for just under two weeks, and so far I can not praise it enough.
When watching a wild life program I could truly appreciate the picture quality. It was as though I was seeing the scenery with my own eyes and not through a TV at all. I don't even receive a HD signal so to think that I am not seeing the picture at its full potential is well unbelievable.
The sound quality is Okay all though to be honest I always have the auxiliary ... ...The TV remote is well laid out and easy to use, the only draw back of the remote is that it uses the tiny batteries that most people will not have around the house, so when the batteries do run down it will mean that you can't 'borrow' them from from something else. ...

Im my opinion this TV is worth the money. Myself I have the 40' and the 50' that have never let me down. The swivel feature is nice, I don't know about you but the NBA play-offs have been a whole different experence whith these TV's. I would denifitely recomend this TV to anyone. Two of my friends already have this model. I know there are better quality LCD's out there but for the money its a steal. If you shop around you will see alot of different ...

We have just purchased this tv, and are so impressed! It makes our living room look so modern and swish. The design and look of the tv itself is just great, the best looking tv I have seen, no big border or lights around it, just a plain simple black thin border. The picture quality is also fantastic, we have it hooked up to sky + and it really does it justice! Watching films is so exciting as some of the time I feel like I am there!!! The size of ...

Advantages: It looks and feels real, the best qualities that a a TV device should have Disadvantages: Having such a wide screen and high definition might give you some headaches
This might not be a review made by a professional technician, but I will actually be able to tell you first hand what the productīs about. My boyfriendīs uncle is very wealthy and bought this new LCD, and I have to say, it is amazing. Although I still donīt find the use in such wide screen TVs, the sound and picture queality are the best that i have seen in my life. A funny anecdote: the first time i turned it on, there was a program about pools ... ...TV! I personally am a fan of books, but this TV makes the experience of watching so enjoyable, that you forget about the fact that watching TV is a totally worthless action (to me, I donīt want anyone to get offended) ... It looks and feels real, and I think that it the best and only qualities a TV should have. ...

Performance
LCD Manufacturers, Samsung among them, have been trotting out a stream of flat panel TV's over the past year or so with very impressive spec sheets which have struggled to produce the performance to match their on-board electronic wizardry. The LE40A656 is different in that it gives us a taste of a new generation of LCD TV's that actually begin to fulfil the potential of their high tech components.
100Hz processing, so long the object ... ...flat panel TV's manage to score highly in this respect.
Conclusion
With a cutting edge design a highly impressive spec sheet and performance that lives up to the billing Samsung have produced a highly desirable LCD TV that will be a joy to look at and to watch. ...
