Samsung D5520 (UE40D5520) review

With superb Internet features, punchy pictures and a gorgeous design, the 40-inch Samsung UE40D5520 is a corking LED TV. At around £550, it's also a real bargain.

Good black levels ; Colours have real impact ; Great Internet features ; Low price tag

Audio could be better ; Slight backlight inconsistencies

The Samsung UE40D5520 puts in such a strong performance across the board that we think you'd struggle to find better value for money elsewhere. Its pictures have real punch and clarity, the line up of Internet and media-streaming services is superb,...

Samsung UE40D5520

Pretty-boy looks, excellent picture quality, and a strong feature set all for under £530? Surely Samsung's UE40D5520 must have a catch somewhere...

Phenomenally cheap ; Good all-round picture quality ; Very easy on the eye

Audio struggles when pushed hard ; No Skype or web browser ; Very slight (but containable) backlight clouding

While there are plenty of other perfectly decent affordable 40in TVs out there this year, the UE40D5520 is clearly the best of the bunch we've seen to date - despite being also one of the most affordable.

Samsung UE46D5520 46-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p 100Hz LED SMART Internet TV with Freeview HD - Charcoal Black

Bought this TV from one of Amazons competitors at a slightly lower price (which is quite unusual to find). I am really delighted with this TV. It integrated easily with my Samsung Blu-ray Home Theatre System. Everything was compatible and fairly easy...

Outstanding TV

This is a great TV with outstanding picture quality. It has work well streaming from a laptop and directly from the web. The only complaint is that I have not been able to get it to record to a USB drive and the manual is not very clear on this.

Struggles badly with motion blur

Let me start by saying this tv has a great "picture" quality and colours are good etc etc which is why it gets two stars.

piece of steaming Sh**

I will never buy a samsung telly again. It broke in 9 months (our last telly lasted over 20 years and only needed replacing due to digital). They make you take it to a repair place. They are unhelpful and condesending. I'd give it less than 1 if I...

No ON/OFF switch - TV turns itself on....

This is a fine Smart TV with good picture, clear controls and no problems (so far), EXCEPT is has no ON/OFF switch - so you have to leave it on permanent standby - not good in this energy saving era. HOWEVER, last night we turned the TV "off" (that's...
