Samsung LN40B540

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Plenty of inputs, enough for most people's purposes. Adequate sharpness and detail to the picture for an entry-level TV. Setup of the swivel stand is very easy, swivels smoothly.

The Cons:Frequent problems reported with the backlight within the first year of use. Videophiles will find the contrast inadequate - some muddiness in dark areas and tinting of the whites.
