At first I wanted to buy the previous model (UE40D6200), but because it has been discontinued and the new model incl. An additional 3D glasses came, I opted for this device.
Congratulations to Amazon & Hermes anticipate - pünkliche, reliable and flawless delivery and settlement.
-----------------------
Construction & Commissioning
The structure is quite easy, stand lock, anschraueben, stand up and finish. Caution about to let the best protector still there.
A drawback here is that to be bonded cable routing (on a round surface), as you can already see the glue that is keeping it not long.
I'm missing here clearly a cable guide which is to screw or plug. (-> Solved: have this foam abgeknibbelt clean and glued Tesa Powerstrips underneath, since it has not even solved)
When you connect the SCART cable (with USB less) I had the feeling that the TV a little bends inwards ... here you should still be a little careful, because you can not build up a counter pressure. But still very positive that a SCART connector is available for SNES, music system etc.
Otherwise, very easy and händelbar for each Leien.
(Update: 05/06/2012)
Where I had previously given me no head drum, many manufacturers (including Samsung) is a proprietary connection, where then an adapter is connected and on that you can then connect SCAT etc. ... you have not here, you can design it without Connect adapter directly, so some less, which can break.
-----------------------
Quality & Ergonomics:
Processing of parts and also the remote control is very positive.
The frame, the back and the base are (it looks like), well made and also looks very noble.
Slots are tight all, therefore there's nothing wobbles. The televisions are stable on the stand and the TV itself does not wobble.
TV can be rotated by about 30 degrees, which is convenient to reach behind the TV, or adjust to the sitting position.
The menu is clear and easy to understand, since almost every point right next to it has a small description.
In most settings to minimize the menu, very good to see directly whether the setting changed something on screen (not with all options).
Actually I wanted to have the previous model, which has a glass pedestal, after I seen it with a friend, this glass stand is a dust collector. This model looks with black stand out really well, it is not recommended in silver!
It should also be mentioned:
The televisions are six windows against exactly the afternoon the sun shines then exactly in the room at the TV (see the TV, then you have the sun exactly in the neck).
I would have expected or feared, that you have a mirror here and then see nothing more (as with another TV).
Even if the sun is just behind us, it does not reflect at all, you can see the images appear dark, of course that it is light, but no reflections.
That has really surprised me and I am delighted that you can watch TV super even in direct Sonneneintrahlung.
-----------------------
Picture & Sound:
The picture is very good and clear, so a sharp picture!
Here I can absolutely nothing negative to say, whether the signal from the HD Reiceiver, hard disk or from the network comes.
As described in the article, the colors are really good and realistic (tested with "Earth").
Image quality thus gets 5 stars.
As for movements must be tested with the True Motion Options something after a few tests I have found the right setting and lo and behold,
the movements do not look "fast" or choppy.
Positive also here to represent the color black even better, the television dims down minimally (depending on the source, it is adjustable).
In previous models, this was seen as a clear flickering. Since this is know, I counted very exactly sure, but you see nothing.
It only recognizes it when you have the menu open and is changed in the background between light and dark, or you. A station that has run down a white ticker
To make this really realize needs to know what to look for you, otherwise you can not see it and it also interferes in any way.
3D I would rather define as nice additional function because it is not yet mature easily. For me personally, the 2D image important, but of course I have the 3D function also looked at and tested.
If you have a source and matching film that plays these, then you can look really beautiful 3D images and scenes.
Here you can also see here (actually only for fast movements) called ghosting. Shadowing. It is admittedly not as strong as in previous models or other manufacturers, but still visible.
A negative point is the conversion from 2D to 3D. This function is even advertised and there is little or almost not visible.
It does not matter whether you take movies that are well suited for 3D (Example: Avatar)
The sound is fairly decent for the small speakers, of course, here are no deep bass to be expected, but for messages, normal broadcasts etc. super useful. Even if one makes even louder, the sound is still not overridden.
Another plus outputs for sound system (optical), sound (like the picture) crystal clear and without hesitation.

What certainly many interested, BluRay player I use the PlayStation3.
The picture here as well, as I expected, it's great!
But for example Skyrim I had in Game mode, since the image when eg look significantly warped / distorted.
Once the game mode is activated on the TV, this issue is resolved. The Sims 3 I could do without changing the function.
Beautifully Again, this setting will be saved only for the currently active HDMI input and not for all.
However, you should think about to disable at BluRays again, if you use the PS3 for it.
Response time between pressing a button and action on screen is super.
I personally am not a hardcore gamer who see any different, but I can not notice any delays there.
So völligst enough for me!
Unfortunately, I've found a flaw that I could not solve, and probably due to the 24p shots of BluRays (or True Motion Settings ...) that the image minimally jerky / follow suit (film Avatar - during slow flying over the landscape / even with Braveheart or Troy), this really is barely visible, so also added so late here. When something googled to find some.
Before her now but panics, it really is minimal and almost not visible, unfortunately I pay extremely on something and sat down in front of it also close to really test everything.

Additional Features:
Very simple and good integration into the network.
The apps from the smartHUB are nice gimmicks, but not usable without an extra keyboard and mouse.
The mobile app is not very useful, because you can can also draw on the normal remote control.
Access to Youtube is ok, but unfortunately it buffers not long before (despite 100 line), but in between stagnation and bucking, but nice to be able to filter directly to HD video.
Otherwise, access to the browser, etc. a bit too slow to really do something with it and really can not recommend using the remote control.
More of a "nice to have".
Software Updates is working properly (either manually via USB or directly via the Internet).
Unfortunately I could not find any document from Samsung, which is accurately updated with the updates.
Among the included 3D glasses should be said that this is to the cheapest model.
To time to watch it, it's ok, but a complete film, because it is exhausting.
Not suitable they are for spectacle wearers because the spectacle pushes on the nose and really is not good to wear.
Since a good spectacle was provided by an action, you can wear glasses to resort to this, the other person then "unlucky".
-----------------------
Open Points:
The built-in tuner and CI + slot could / I do not need to test, because I'm not going to use this.
The recorder function of course not, since this is done by other devices.
-----------------------
Note:
In order to improve the image in the dark, I can recommend, behind the television or cabinet to fasten a white LED strip, this should then illuminate the wall indirectly.
This "hidden" the TV not as extreme, depending on the setting of the brightness.
In the options Unfortunately I lack a way detailed system information (firmware version, model number, serial number, model of Pannels etc.) to see.
---------------------
Conclusion:
The TV is really good for those who do not feel like or not the technical knowledge, for days on end to read the instructions,
because in the default settings of this television is quite well set (which is rarely the case, usually).
My conclusion is surprisingly good, summarized here times:
+ Very good and clear image (HD TV, BluRay and Streaming)
+ LAN & Wireless LAN
+ SmartHUB
+ 3x USB
+ 3x HDMI
+ SCART input
+ Beautiful design
+ Easy operation
+ Easy commissioning
Neutral:
o 3D
Negatives:
- 2D / 3D Convertierung - visible but not worth it
Due to the good performance, nice extra features and good price a fair offer which I bereure no way!
I'm very satisfied with this purchase, and therefore clearly a recommendation from me!
