Customer Reviews: Samsung UE40EH5000 40-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p LED TV with Freeview HD
Just wanted to add some information about this TV, which seems hard to find.
It has Freeview HD built in.
It doesn't connect to iplayer, although there is a Network port at the back.
(I don't know whether this is going to be added as a feature at a later date or not, Currently the port can only be used for playing media from your home network.)
It uses the cheaper form of LED tech, edge LED - but for the price, that's expected.
It can display upto 1080p resolution.
The image quality whilst watching HD channels is great, whilst watching SD channels its not the best - This is just like all new LED / LCD TV's, if you want nice SD channels then buy a Plasma TV, in my opinion nothing else comes close.
The USB port plays everything that I've thrown at it, HD & SD content.
It uses only 39 watts of electricity, that the equivalent of one incandescent candle lightbulb!
WOW!
One downside, would be that the corners seem to suffer from dark corners visible when the TV displays bright scenes, I'm the only person in my house who has noticed these as everyone else's focus is on the center of the TV and not at the corners. I'm not bothered by it I just wanted to alert you to it. I've read on some forums that most Samsung LED TV's suffer from this - These dark corners are only the size of the tip of your thumb, so you might not even notice them.
Value for money I give this TV 5 out of 5.
Although maybe it should be 4.5 out of 5 because of the dark corners & for the not so great standard definition channels.

This tv is excellent value. very easy to set up. Great hd picture with excellent colour definition. The sound is better than most flat screens once you learn how to mess about with the equaliser. i will advise anybody to buy this set.you will not get better for this value,some of the high end sets are not this good, dont hesitate buy one now.

Cant reccomend this TV enough, brought this TV to replace my goodmans lcd tv in bedroom rather than buying a freeview box. took it out of the box and swapped it with the old tv onto my wall mounting bracket in under 10 mins. connected power lead and simply followed the on screen set up instuctions.
It is very simple to use and the picture quality is beautiful on the HD freeview channels I also tested it out with a blu-ray copy of Avatar and the picture was simply stunning.
Am giving serious consideration to buying a 42" for my livingroom

Got this set for £346, and at that price it is immense. Everyone that has seen it thinks it would have been £200+ more.
Wonderful picture, especially with Freeview HD. Invest in a good aerial! Also has a great media player that has played everything I've thrown at it perfectly; xH264, DivX, XviD, .mp4. .avi, .mkv etc etc.
The only minor fault with it is that it cannot swivel on its stand. Not a problem for me where it is but might be an issue for some people.
This is our first large screen LCD TV after having a 28 inch CRT TV for several years. The set is a nice looking set with good features and clean crisp picture quality and the USB port plays video files without any problems.
The only critism of this set is after using a CRT that the colours are not that natural and the picture has a bit of a 'grey' tinge when viewed off centre. this is not just an issue with this set but LCD in general. I beleive for good colour you need Plasma (high energy use) or Organic LED (very expensive) as these cheaper LED sets are really just an LCD set lit via LED and not LED actively providing the picture. A plus point of this model is the contrast is pretty good without any white light 'bleeding' into the dark areas of the picture unlike a smaller LCD set I have.
I like the HD channels which are pin sharp in every detail and this TV has a picture in picture feature so you can watch freeview in the corner while watching another source on the main screen.
One thing to note is that although the set is LED backlit the casing is not slim by any means at approx 100MM thick so would not really suit wall mounting.

My wife and I purchased this television set earlier this month. We needed to upgrade from an old flat-screen, widescreen standard definition TV and spent a lot of time looking at different full HD sets. The screen quality of this TV (along with all Samsung products) is phenomenal. On the set, there is a multitude of options for different settings for colour, screen and sound. The sound is very good, with different pre-sets giving people a range of options. Obviously, the inbuilt sound is not as good as it would be if it was connected up to a sound system, but for inbuilt speakers (especially given the slim size of the set), the sound is fantastic. I had read many of the reviews on here, many of which I believe to be overly critical. We bought this to upgrade from a standard definition set, so it's obviously a huge improvement, but the size, colour, sound and set are all first-class. It comes with Freeview HD built in and the HD channels look razor sharp and crisp on the screen. I am also a gamer and the jump up in picture and sound quality when playing my Xbox 360 is noticeable. I have connected my console simply using component leads rather than a full HD cable and even so, the picture quality is superb. I highly recommend this TV set - it is a great size, amazing picture quality and the price is staggeringly good. This price for a Samsung is unbelievable and I believe that you won't find a better TV set for this sort of money. Really great TV, so happy with our purchase and quick delivery. I was a bit concerned about buying such a big item online, but we ordered it on a Monday evening and it was with us by the Wednesday lunchtime - outstanding service and a great TV set - highly recommended.

Just got the set today.
Most important, like the other 2 reviews, i can confirm that this NEW 2012 model set is in fact FREEVIEW HD, even though it incorrectly only says freeview on every webiste.
I have a single appliance energy monitor and even putting the tv in Vivid mode, which wacked up the brightness etc, it still only uses 45.2 Watts. (My old LCD Samsung 32" TV used 150 Watts). I should save about £1 per month in electricity, just on this bedroom TV.
This new 2012 Samsung tv uses Full Array LED Backlighting. Very good black levels and no light bleeding on the sides, like on some side lit led tv's.
I would give it 4 stars overall, however with low power use, freeview HD and a stylish Design at a cheap price, i have given it 5 based on value for money.

After my Philips lcd went wrong after 5 years faithful service (not long i Know!) i searched around for a 32 inch set that promised a decent picture and sound, and that was not going to break the bank. well, i can honestly say that the Samsung UE32EH5000 is a brilliant tv for the price! the colours are rich and pin sharp even up close,had no beef with the clarity of the sound, with it being without any sign of "tinniness" also when i tuned it in (which only took 5 minutes!)i was pleasently surprised that it picked up Freeview HD channels, even though i was informed my area did not get freeview HD yet!even though the picture is superb on standard freeview, HD on this set is nothing sort of spectacular.attached a wii,standard sky box (via scart) and upscaling DVD playerToshiba SD3005/3010 Upscaling DVD Player (via HDMI)once again all the pictures from the attached were great to Behold, especially the upscaling DVD player which was nothing short of Blue ray player! Fantastic! if your an average joe like me and just want a decent set for the money go for this set its GREAT!!!!

I am a total nightmare when it comes to purchasing TVs...if the picture & sound isn't up to my high expectations it goes back! After purchasing an LG LED TV from another retailer that went back (rubbish picture and "jerky" HD, rubbish sound with a speaker that buzzed if it didn't like peoples voices and it kept going into fault mode if it was on for too long...sleep mode was turned off) I turned my attention to Samsung. Amazon had the best price and I know from experience that they offer excellent service, I have now had this TV for five weeks, the picture is fantastic through both a normal Ariel coaxial cable and a HDMI cable via my Sky HD box (HD programs are totally astounding for their clarity with an almost 3D effect). The sound is also excellent, so often with these very flat TVs a compromise has to be made with the speaker size and location, leading to poor/tinny sound...not so with this TV, the sound is so good that on MTV etc, it sounds like its the stereo playing in the room rather than the TV. Pound for pound I don't believe you could beat this TV, excellent picture, excellent sound, easy to set up and use, nice neat remote control, excellent price and most importantly totally fault free...is it any wonder that Samsung has now overtaken both Sony & Panasonic as the largest TV producer in the world?
