| Design |
| The new Samsung Series 6 has been very thoughtfully designed with a great level of class and sophistication. This unique series has a red tint to the frame and a sleek round stand. The depth of the screen is 83.4mm so ideal to wall mount but is as equally as attractive on the sleek stand. The Rose Red tint adds a high level of style to the screen and the seamless frame without being too obvious or distracting. |
| Features |
| The specifications of the Samsung LE40A656 LCD TV are impressive to say the least, with a full HD resolution of 1920x1080 with a dynamic contrast ratio of 50,000:1 to ensure that the image you receive contains the deepest blacks and also to assist this Samsung has included a dynamic contrast system which enhances black levels during dark scenes. The LE40A656 also has a 120MHz mode which has been included to display a smoother playback of 24fps sources creating the image that the film director intended. Also to eliminate motion judder, Samsung has added the 100Hz Motion Plus picture processing which adds extra frames per second to ensure the outcome is super smooth. The Super Clear Panel has a combination of high and low reflective layers ensures that images are displayed with high detail and depth as well as eliminating ambient light reflection. Samsung’s DNIe Pro also adds to this with its built-in Colour and Motion Optimisers and Contrast and Detail Enhancers. Four HDMI’s complete and already outstanding package and create excellent connectivity. |
| Performance |
| The HD images we achieved were of a particularly high standard and had great depth and amazing colours. Standard definition was not so impressive but the way high definition is becoming more and more popular, the less this is important. SD images were not poor by a long shot but there’s just no comparison to the high quality HD images. Detail is amazing and colour reproduction is equally as good. The sound quality is definitely worth mentioning as even without a good surround sound system, dialogue and soundtracks sound amazing. |
| Overall Opinion |
| The Samsung LE40A656 LCD TV displays images superbly at High Definition and sound is outstanding. Gamers will be impressed with the colour reproduction and graphic detail in which games are shown as well as how the sound effects make images appear to be jumping out of the screen. |
