Samsung LN40B500
$600.00
Released November, 2009
The Pros:Low price for any TV in this size range. Colors are bright and vibrant, works well in a bright room. Doesn't draw too much power while in operation, doesn't waste electricity on heat production either.
The Cons:Stand is flimsy, bumping into the TV sends it rocking and heavy cables can pull down on the TV at an angle. Only 2 HDMI ports, which get used up fairly quickly in most homes with modern equipment. Dark scenes tend to bleed all the shades in together, details are hard to pick out.
The LN40B500 is a 40" high definition LCD TV from Samsung's mid-range 5 Series. The television features a widescreen display with a native resolution of 1080p and dynamic contrast ratio of 40,000:1.
