Samsung LE40F86BD Reviews: F8 Series, 40" Screen LCD Full HD 1080p TV

+ GREAT LCD TV

- NONE

+ Ease of operation, features, design, contrast, colours

- None

+ every thing was good

- only let down was not enough information on setting up

+ Lots of features and useful inputs. Good testing on internet, could get best picture settings from the net.

- Manual could have been more filling, hard to find out how all the features work.

+ Absolutely STUNNING picture (sound is routed though an amp so don't use the TV's speakers) - the SEXIEST way to turn on a TV ever! (sounds weird but if you do it you'll know!)

- menus are slow - I'd heard a few folk mention this before I bought it anf thought "huh?" but if you're tatrting about with any of the settings whilst watching something you can't just quickly dink in and do it, they ARE sluggish to respond. There are an UNBELIEVABLE amount of settings available (3 basic picture setiings, which can be set differently for each input and THEN tweaked indefinitely within each setting) but I have stuck to the off-the-peg and they are fine by me. None of the bad points would stand in the way of me recommending this TV though - it is fantastic.

+ basically an all round great tv for the money with great picture quality even when not connected to a HD source [very pleased]

- tv cannot fit flat back to wall because of connections coming in from the back and not from underneath neads to be about 70mm so think of this if buying a bracket,if it gives this amount

+ Very good standard definition picture. Looks stunning. Very easy set-up.

- Sound quality needs tweaking often.

+ A GOOD SLEEK DESIGN
GOOD PICTURE QUALITY

- SLOW IN CHANGING CHANNELS
SOUND COULD BE BETTER

+ Everythng about this TV is great.
The picture quality in GAME MODE is amazing.

- None so far.

+ Picture, connectivity, stylish product

- None

+ design build quality

- sound

+ Lovely design, User friendly controls.

- Very poor picture quality. (Maybe due to the Virgin Media Cable reception I have to endure as I'm not allowed to put a Sky Dish on my flat). Haven’t tried it with an HD DVD yet which might prove the point. Overall I'm very disappointed with the picture quality.

+ Fantastic picture quality and excellent finish on product.

- None really.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Not very impressive quality with SD signal (even Sky).

+ great look and excelent picture

- cant really think of any!

+ The picture quality is superb, in particular when viewing in high definition. The sound quality is excellent as is it's looks.

- The only thing that is disappointing to me is the warranty which is only twelve months. I would have thought a three year warranty would have been normal these days with this type of product. Does this indicate a lack of faith in the product by Samsung? I hope not.

+ Good Picture when calibrated properly out of box picture is not good,blu-ray films and tv looks very grainy but when properly calibrated looks alot better,Search for forums and read or click link below http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=509999

- Poor sound,but not a problem as i have sound through my stereo.

+ Picture (of Blu-Rays) is absolutely stunning.

- Freeview quality is quite poor.

+ great picture, easy to set up.

- slow menus, i.e settin picture up etc.

+ Looks gorgeous! Very clear 100Hz picture. There is a button on the remote control that lights up the buttons so you can see them in the dark.

- Sound can sometimes seem a bit quite - this may be the source though.

+ The picture on this tv is absolutely stunning. I have watched planet earth on hd dvd. You just can't believe how good the picture is.

- A bit slow when moving between input options.

+ Swivel Base

- Find black finish a bit shiny

+ Picture and colours are excellent and that is what you are buying it for after all, as you will most likely have bought an up-scaling 5.1 to go with it.

- When switched off it is an extremely large black, black space in the room.

+ Looks very stylish.

- None noticed yet other than I have to press the remote twice sometimes as the initial press does not change channel etc?

+ It is a fanatastic picture

- The Remote has to be aimed straight at the specific point.

+ Great Design and stunning picture with our Blu Ray player ! Looking for a even larger LCD for our side room !

- None !

+ Great image quality

- Internal speakers are not very powerful

+ Nice looking telly.

- Picture could be slightly better.

+ Great looking TV. Very slim and great piano black finish. The picture is superb and the blue strip at the bottom and light up touch controls on the glass edges is a nice touch. The swivel stand comes attached and matches the style of the TV. You will not be dissapointed!!

- None really. Some people might prefer a deeper base sound which is hard to achieve in such a slim TV, but most people would then have surround sound anyway.

+ nice size, fashonable design, good overall preformance, the touch sensor buttons are superb

- a bit difficult to get it set up as instructions are a bit confusing

+ Looks good, sounds good and picture quality is very good.

- None as yet.

+ it is smart looking, menu system is easy to operate, additional features are good like reading a usb stick. I like the sound it makes when switching off/on. The off/on button is a nice feature and light is programmable so it can be disabled while the tv is on.

- does not switch off, you have to switch off at mains. would be nice if would accept analogue signal aswell as digit. will not recognise a more uptodate usb stick typically will read 2gb but not 4gb. The colour of the edges where the speakers are should be black. The samsung name at the bottom should be in a dark colour. if it could clean itself !!!! [self cleaning glass - what a selling feature].

+ the design of this television is as fantastic as the picture it provides, with it hooked up to SkyHD and my PS3's blu ray player am now in TV heaven.

- Sound is a little weak and is much better using a surround sound system with an amp.

+ excellent picture with more inputs than I can use

- Big Frame

+ a really good looking TV with a great picture
