    Provided you take these simple precautions, though, the LE40A656 really is rather special, and worth every penny of its slightly premium price. Read more

    But these flaws are dwarfed by all the good work on show. And, frankly, this great TV had us at the 'Rose Black' stage! Read more

    The first set from Samsung's new LCD range marks a stunning leap forward for the Korean brand in both design and picture performance - and that's saying something when you think about how good the brand's previous sets were. Now is it just me, or can you also hear the sound of many Japanese brands quaking in their boots? Read more

    bought as a recommend and to say that I'm over the moon is to put it mildly. I'm pleased with everything I've seen so far, the colour rendition is stunning, the sound is excellent and that rose black finish is to die for. Well up to the high standards you expect from Samsung. An absolute doddle to set up and navigate the menus. BUY ONE !. Also the service from Pixmania is outstanding, Read more

    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. Read more

    I have owned the Samsung LE40A656 for 1 week now and I am very impressed with the set so far. I paid £1,000, haggled down from £1099! I was originally going to purchase a plasma TV as I watch sports and play XBox 360 games and image clarity is very important to me. After seeing the Samsung LE40A656 in Curry's playing the built in freeview standard definition I was very impressed. The 100Hz technology ensures that there is no motion blur which is normally found with LC... Read more
