This TV has an internet facility – This added feature is great but can cause configuration problems which can be complex to understand if you are not technically minded.

Ratings:

Samsung UE40B8000 40 Inch LED TV
Image Quality
Samsungs Ultra Clear Panel technology produces glare free crisp, clear images. The anti reflective coating delivers dramatically darker blacks, reduces reflection and ensures that you see only what is on the screen and not what is behind you. Awesome!

Audio Quality
Featuring Down Firing Speakers and SRS Trusurround HD & Dolby Digital Plus with Sound Output (RMS) of 10 watts x 2. The UE40B8000 offers crystal clear, cinema quality audio.

Reliability
The more complex the machine, the more things there are to go wrong. Issues with this model tend to be user based rather than fault based. I recommend a hi-tech machine for the hi-tech consumer.

Useability
You will need to configure the settings when you receive it, this can be a bit fiddly. The remote control is well designed and easy to use, so with patience you can have it set up in no time. Even though it has a plethora of functions it is still fairly simple to use.

Value for Money
It costs £1,234.93 (1staudiovisual.com) which is the lowest price on the internet. You will struggle to find another TV of this spec for less.
