Customer Reviews

Best 1080p HD tv for it's size and price!
We had a long and tedious selection process for a full HD tv, and the Samsung A559P 40" tv came out the winner. The closest rival was the SONY V4000 40"

All the necessary features needed is included in this tv and the USB plug-in made the difference in our choice.

The features are all very good, and like another review the colour and settings needed some adjustment from the out-of-the-box settings to make it prestine ;-)

Choose a job, choose a career, choose this freakin big television. Choose Life

Just bought this
Just bought this TV last week and was definitely not disappointed! Was on a budget of under £700 and decided to go with the Samsung over others, the inbuilt freeview is good and the TV is very easy to setup - plug and play.

Needed to tweak the picture settings to optimise viewing quality, but after this was done I hooked up the PS3 and enjoyed some excellent HD gaming.

Great TV
I;m giving this a 5 star rating as it's easily the best TV I've owned.

My previous TV's have been 32 CRT affairs.
I've always been a fan of CTR as the picture is much sharper/brighter, response times faster, no fear of screen burn in ( which can occur with LCD and Plasma, nut just when gaming - but due to all the static logo's you get on every channel these days)
Plumped for LCD in the end, as a 40 inch CRT is well..not exactly practical due to the depth!

Choose this Samsung over others due to the high contrast ratio, sleek design, reasonable power consumption (166W) and more importantly the picture.
I had a good play in a high street store with the settings and my own DVD! and was very impressed. They even had a standard analogue source available and even with that it was a great picture.

Amazon of course had this product at the best price, and could guarantee when it would be delivered for just £7.95. Naturally it arrived within the window specified.

The sound isn't that bad, the bass is a little lacking which is expected with the built in slim line speakers, yet there is still surprising depth and surround effect.

Only problem I've had so far is none of the Samsung codes seem to work with the sky remote, and also another all in remote I have as well. Tried learning them, but it's not playing ball. so for the time being stuck to using two remotes.

Damn fine tv...
