SAMSUNG 40-inch Class LED Smart FHD TV 1080P (UN40N5200AFXZA, 2019 Model)

But... I had carefully re-packaged and obtained a refund because... Website does not provide enough pre-purchase information. I even downloaded the so-called Manual that I regard as useless because it doesn't provide any info that is much better than the setup guide. I was looking for a rear diagram to check for RCA Jacks Audio output needed to operate my wonderful SennHeiser remote Headset that I require to hear TV because I am partially deaf. Otherwise I have to turn TV volume up so loud it vibrates the walls and my wife can't sleep. My 20 year old Insignia TV include red and white (right and left jacks) for audio output. This set does not, so I boxed it up for Amazon free return. I then went and checked other boxes at Walmart and Sam's Club and the rear panels are all the same. No RCA Audio Output. A little trap door marked "Optical Audio Digital Output" caught my eye. Audio? I check on Amazon and happy days! Doubly so because 40 inch sets are as rare as Hen's teeth, while 43 inch is too big and won't fit in my room; I find a Converter Cable that converts Optical to Analog RCA Audio at a very reasonable price. I complain loudly at the difficulty of finding good-quality 32-40 inch TV's as marketing strategy is always more, more, more, bigger and bigger. Where does it end? 200 inch TV's at 64K Resolution? I need help to be physically boosted into my Son-in-Law's Pickup Truck. I guess I've been stuck in a 20 year old time warp. I order the Cable, again, unbox this Samsung Unit and Voila! It works great! Cancel my return! Picture and Sound, (for my wife, who can hear a Cockroach fart), are very good. She listens to TV speakers at low volume while I listen separately on my Headset. Sound is so good it's like I'm a teenager; hard of hearing has melted away! I would subtract a star if it weren't for the fact that all the TV manufactures are all the same-manual is mostly useless, RCA Jacks a thing of the past. I blame myself for looking to the past, ignorant of the present. OH well - all's well that ends well.

I wanted a TV to wall-mount in my bedroom where I have limited space. I was a little surprised to learn that it's actually getting difficult to find a top-quality TV in a smaller size these days - this Samsung was about the best we could find in a 32" model. Still, despite it's small size, it does have all the essential features, as well as a very good picture quality. The TV itself is very light weight and was easy to wall mount. I used an articulating arm mount that lets me tilt and position the TV any way I want, and the light weight helped make this easy. The TV remote is the same as other recent Samsung TV's use, so if you're used to the layout, it will seem very comfortable to you. This is a "smart" TV, meaning that it has apps for things like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and many others available. With a fast internet connection, you should have no trouble watching whatever you like through the TV, even if you're a cord-cutter. It's probably a small thing to most people, but I also appreciate that the power draw - especially when the TV is off - is very low. I'd rate the picture quality as very good overall, with a nice bright picture that's sharp and contrasty with most content. Black levels are good, and about the only thing I notice is a certain "harshness" that's common to lots of TV's these days. I admit, I was a plasma holdout, and now my main TV is a 75" OLED just to avoid this issue, so I may be a little more sensitive than most. Overall, if you need a good quality smaller Smart TV that's still capable of putting a nice quality image in front of you, then this Samsung is definitely worth a try.

I’ve purchased several of these TV’s to use in a home remodel. They are a great size, simple to set up and at a very reasonable price point. I’ve had 4 installed recently in a rental home. Streaming is easy, picture quality is spot on and I love that there’s no glare. Wifi set up was a breeze, remote control is simple and the colors are crisp and can be adjusted to your preference. Zero complaints for my use!

It is four stars only because you need an additional gadget to set up bluetooth. The rest is top-notch. I have this TV for couple weeks and love the picture quality, the size of TV, and the price. Being Samsung TV, it has tons of Samsung TV channels, plus I use smart TV apps, and a few local TV channels I receive with a small indoors antenna (I have no cable TV subscription). It took to time to set it up, Wi-Fi connection did not work and I use ethernet, but I guess it is caused by the router being in another room. I am close to illiterate in tech gadgets and I am not paid to promote other Amazon products. I like to use headphones, but this TV has no bluetooth in it. If you go to TV settings - sound, it says something like HDMI-ARC. After googling all these mysterious words and reading answers about this TV, I bought "HDMI ARC Adapter Audio Converter" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0791CFGY1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I already had (also bought on Amazon) bluetooth transmitter receiver, and bluetooth headphones. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09DD33SDD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09JGF23V3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I paired these headphones with bluetooth a few days ago (they said "paired" but had no sound). I connected the converter to the HDMI ARC in TV via HDMI cable, and also to USB in the TV as power supply. Then I connected the converter to the bluetooth transmitter via audio cable (red and white cables), and got a great sound in my headphones. I had the TV connected to a soundbar via optical cable. Now I can use only soundbar (ot TV speakers without the soundbar), only bluetooth headphones, or both at the same time. The sound quality is very good. If you are looking for the best listening experience (bass, various music etc.), I can't answer because I was looking for a good quality sound via headphones and I got it. Overall, I highly recommend this TV.

I had this same model until about a year ago, and really liked it until a voltage surge damaged the audio. One of my housemates is still using that set with earphones, but I didn't want to go that route and made the mistake of replacing it with another brand I'd never heard of rather than with a Samsung or equivalent. That set lasted only a year before unexpectedly dying, so when it had to be replaced I went back and got the same Samsung model I'd had and enjoyed before. It's easier to set up [not as many unnecessary and annoying steps], has better video and audio quality, and I expect it to last a lot longer.

I don't write too many reviews. This is my 3rd. I really do like this TV. I bought it as a back up for the identical model from 2018, in case it goes bad. I bought it at Costco and it still works. There were some issues with picture quality. When you turned it on it looked pretty good and in a few minutes the overall screen just kind of became darker and stayed that way. I got used to it. I just watched it through a component and that made it a little brighter. This new one is very bright and it stays that way. I think they've added some improvements to this particular model. I kind of freaked out trying to start it up, I'm not too technically inclined. The picture and sound options are a little different than the 2018 model. Those are the only ones I've messed with. But I got the picture to my liking, so I'm happy with it. So if you're one of those people who like watching a 32 inch tv screen, this is a pretty good tv. And I don't even watch HD channels. The back panel is the same as the 2018 version. I'm not sure I'm going to use the smart features so, I didn't rate them. Well I'm done here. all the best, chris

I am very happy and impressed with this TV. We have been using ours for a few months in the kitchen area, and it has performed flawlessly. The picture quality is great! It is sharp, bright, and very natural looking. I think the 1080P feature helps too, and is worth the slightly higher cost of this TV over comparable models. But a great picture requires a little extra initial work. When setting up any TV, you'll find that there are many picture adjustment options; some are on/off, some are selections, and some are ranges. Yes, it's a little tedious, but take the time to go through each option and set it to what looks good for you. The effort is totally worth the enhanced enjoyment of your TV viewing. The sound quality of this TV is also excellent for its size. Conversations are crisp, music is pleasant, and the volume can go up much higher than I would ever want. Remember that you are listening to the built-in speakers of a relatively small television, so don't expect the same sound quality as you get from your Dolby 5.1 surround-sound entertainment system! Other reviewers have complained about WiFi connectivity problems (connections lost), but we have not had this problem. Perhaps it's a function of signal strength or modem brand? We are very happy with our purchase of this TV, and I recommend it highly.

I like the quality of the tv. Customer service was fantastic. I have a couple of serious issues and a lot of ticky-tack fouls, but I have only had it working for three hours maybe something will change. If you hit a non-letter key while entering your username, you start over. The paper user guide that comes with it is worthless: there are no instructions on using the tv in it. I know it seems obvious, but the start-up manual does not tell you to plug the tv into power. The tv rejected my attempt to register it during set-up then refused to recognize my wireless internet. Customer service was fantastic, spent a hour helping me get through the mess. The menu is about 11 icons on the bottom of the screen. Most of them are subscriptions. Could not find a way to either delete them or to more the channels I want to the left so I don't have to click umpteen times to get past the ones I will never buy (Netflix, Disney, etc). When setting up, the skip button does not work; you have to click the next step number. Privacy Settings are ridiculously complicated; I gave up trying to figure out how to change them. Manual is useless in that regard (and just about every other regard as well). Adding a channel does not add it to the menu; you have to do that manually. Channels are considered apps; use the app button to add one. But after you add one, when you click the add button to add another, it takes you to the channel you just added, NOT to the add apps screen. Powering off and on worked sometimes to get back to the add apps screen but not often. Screens time out way too fast. Frequently the Home button doesn't, and you are left trying to figure out how to get out of a submenu on your own. With some items on the menu bar (like Disney), it is difficult to tell which icon is selected; you have to move the selection to figure it out. The on-screen keyboard is really screwy. Click a letter and a checkmark covers the letter to the left. If that is the letter that you want, you have to move left twice: once to the letter, which clears the check mark, and once to select the letter. Frequently the letter that is selected changes to a different letter when you move the selection, then changes back when you move the selection again. Frequently when you click the Setting button, the Settings screen does not open leaving you wondering what to do; actually the first couple times it happens, you don't know that anything is wrong, so the instructions, if you found any, appear to be wrong. I didn't find any info on the remote control, like what the PRE-CH and A, B, C, and D buttons do. That's enough; you get the idea. OK, I hate it so bad that I have to continue. The user interface is aweful. They are so busy trying to get you to watch the channels they want you to watch it becomes a chore trying to watch your channels. I have the Newsmax channel on in the background 4 to 6 hours a day. Every day I have to search for it. When I find it, they offer me Newsmax on Haystack. When I select Newsmax, one more time they offer Haystack. When you move the selection, I mentioned it above, it is hard to tell where you moved it to. While you are trying to find it, the thing times out, takes you somewhere you don't want to go, and you have to start all over. If I could afford it, I would toss the thing; I'm 74 years old and on a limited budge. I guess I'm stuck with this thing for the rest of my life. :(
