Have a movie night with this 40-inch Samsung LED TV. It has a 4K resolution and 120 clear motion rate for lifelike video, and it has DTS Studio Sound to fill the room with dynamic audio. This Samsung LED TV has built-in Wi-Fi, so you can stream content from your favorite apps.

Great picture, awful software
on July 2, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
As a 4K TV, the picture looks decent for Samsung's low tier offering. Actually more pleased with the picture quality than on a mid tier Sony I had.
The problems come into play with Samsung's Smart TV software. There was a notification that Samsung's Checkout Service was down from 6/21 to 6/22. This notification pops up once an hour every single day since 6/21 and it's not going away. Following through support and forum links and Samsung has no solution for their customers on this other than to factory reset and not sign in with your Samsung Account. You can try to Delete the Notification but it will come back in an hour and continue to be disruptive to your viewing. It never goes away. Had I not tossed the box out this TV would be getting returned. If Samsung happens to patch this annoying error than I will be fair and update my review, but as it is this TV is more bothersome than enjoyable.

Potential to be good, but only just "ok"
on September 24, 2016
Posted by: Ryan
PROS:
- Inexpensive
- Detachable keyboard with 2x USB ports
- 11.6" screen with 1920x1080 resolution, most tablets in this price range don't have this good of a resolution (usually 1366x768 or 1280x800)
- USB 3.0 Type-C for charging and devices. I was able to attach a USB 3.0 docking station and run 2 external monitors with no problem
CONS:
- 32GB storage. Any Windows 10 device should come with a minimum 64GB storage, period. 32GB just isn't enough and can make it tricky to get big Windows updates
- Keyboard feels "cheap" when you pick it up, not really sturdy enough to pick up the keyboard with the tablet attached like you would a laptop
- 2GB RAM may have been enough in 2010, but in 2016 not even Chrome or Edge perform well with that little RAM
Low-priced Intel Atom devices with low RAM (2GB) and low storage (32GB) have been coming out for years. I took a chance on this tablet given that it has the 1080p screen and USB 3.0 Type-C included.
Overall, the device technically does what it sets out to do, it just doesn't do it that well. Performance lags in even Microsoft Edge, and most sites will take longer than usual to load regardless of how fast your WiFi connection is. You'll get better performance out of apps from the Windows Store but most people that will buy this have the expectation of running traditional Windows programs.
