Samsung LE40C580 Reviews...
I purchased this TV at the same time as the Sony EX503 40 inch & my plan was to compare the two & decide which one to keep. The Sony had got all the rave reviews in What Hifi & TV & on other review websites, but there were only one or two reviews of this Samsung TV.
I already owned a 32 inch Samsung I bought 4 or 5 years ago & I loved that TV for every second I owned it. I wanted to upgrade to a Freeview HD TV & a bigger screen at the same time. I tried out both TVs & I generally liked this one better. It's over a hundred pounds cheaper for a start. But apart from the price, I generally felt the picture was sharper & clearer on this Samsung. In particular the Freeview HD channels come out crystal clear. On the Sony I had to study the Freeview HD pictures
much more to notice any difference to standard HD. Eventually I did & the Sony is a good TV.
But with the Samsung the Freeview HD just seemed much clearer to watch. Also standard Freeview on the Samsung is good too & clear & not fuzzy at all. But on the Sony standard Freeview was quite fuzzy. I expected the sound on the Samsung to be really weak with no bass & distortion like the 32 inch model i had before. But Samsung definately have improved the sound on this TV. It's still not booming bass. But it is very clear audio & very good stereo. It has very light bass - much better than models from a few years ago. But the sound is still a bit light compared to the Sony which was much richer.
But after watching this TV for a few weeks now i'm used to the sound & it sounds great to me now all the time. I can plug it into my hifi if i want & it sounds much more powerful & bassy on there.
Also I just preferred the design of the Samsung as it looks slim, sleeky & expensive. The Sony's design was OK & i'm sure i would have got used to it. But it did appear to be much bulkier at the back & was completely made of cheap looking plastic. Whereas the Samsung's screen looks convincingly like glass (even though it's plastic) & the rest of back is metal & the plastic is well designed & expensive looking.
This Samsung does not have an internet platform and you can't use it by itself to get onto BBC Iplayer, etc... But it has 2 USB ports where you can connect your digital camera or any media usb stick & it plays video files, mp3's, etc... Plus at the back it has an ethernet socket to connect it to the internet. But you can't get on the internet using the TV alone. You can connect it to your home internet connection and stream media from your laptop for instance but you can't surf the internet on it. The Sony had a proper internet connection & some brilliant applications like BBC Iplayer, Five on demand, You Tube, etc... and it was very impressive. But I thought on balance, that wasn't a huge necessity as my laptop has a HDMI so i can connect to TV & surf internet whenever i want. Plus all the manufacturers are developing internet on tv on an ongoing basis, such as Google's Android TV, etc...
I also played games on my PS3 on the Samsung & they played great with great sharp pictures & sound.
My only gripe was Blu ray playback which was just ok & not as sharp as on the Sony. I watched Blu Ray on both & the Sony Blu Ray playback seemed much clearer & sharper. The Samsung Blu Ray playback is good but not as good as the Sony.
So if your main use of the TV is to watch Blu Rays maybe the Sony's a better buy. But as I'll only watch the odd Blu Ray & would be watching Freeview HD more. So the Samsung was overall a better buy I felt.
So I summarised overall this TV was better value for what you get & overall quality wise compared to the Sony (apart from Blu Ray playback wise). So I kept the Samsung & returned the Sony for a refund. I thought I may regret doing so. But one month later i'm very happy I made the right decision & have no regrets.

I bought this TV in May 2011.
I have absolutely NO issues whatsoever.
The tv is a great size, it has full hd capabilities, freeview hd, a fantastic epg with timer settings along with a whole host of connections.
4x HDMI input
2x USB
1x Ariel input
1x Scart Socket
1x Red/White/Yellow AV
1x Component
1x Common Interface Slot
1x PC in
1x PC Audio in
1x LAN slot
1x Toslink (Optical) sound input
This Tv has all the connections you could possibly ask for and more!
it is LCD, not LED, but I don't have any issues with the picture, it's as perfect as I could possibly ask for.
The sound, as with all LCD tv's is the only real niggle, but the room it's in is quite narrow, so i doesn't have to be TOO loud and, with it being Samsung, you can connect with ANYNET+ to practically anything, even Toshiba products work with it!
The LAN socket allows streaming from PC's over a network for videos, music or pictures. I have only used the feature once and it's fantastic, but it's not something I need; but nice to have!
The USB's are great and one of them is able to support 'HARD DRIVES'. The benefit of this is if you have digital copies of films, from blu-ray triple plays for example, or videos you have made youself,you can whack it onto a portable HDD and watch it via the TV's 'Media' centre.
Overall a perfect tv, I paid £500 for it when it was released, which is amazing value for money! I am very very pleased and couldn't ask for anything better (at the time of purchase) - Now, I want the FULL LED version, but I'm in no rush!
The newer model, le40d580 has no AV socket (red white yellow) and has a figure of 8 power adaptor as oppose to the kettle (3 prong) in this model. Not enough difference to make me want to pay the extra for the 'D' model!
Thanks for reading, hope this helps.
