Samsung LE40A558 Pro Reviews

hdtvtest‘s review Edit

Blessed with black-level performance, connectivity and video processing that are very good but not quite best-in-class, the Samsung LE40A558 nevertheless represents an attractive proposition due to its bargain-basement price, especially if you’re willing to take its technically-identical siblings LE40A559P and LE40A556P into consideration when shopping around. That said, if you can spare an extra £200, we highly recommend going for the LE40A656 which does quite a few things (blacks, colours, motion resolution, native 24fps playback) better.

Of course, the picture is where it’s at, and the Samsung will win many fans here. Kick off with 3:10 to Yuma on Blu-ray, and the detailed, sharp image is immediately impressive. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe look especially craggy, while the glorious scenery looks textured and true-to-life, even when it’s whizzing passed in smooth 24fps style. The campfire scene demonstrates a good black performance, too, though in order to achieve that the backlight needs to be turned to a fairly low setting, which does adversely affect punch. The result is daylight scenes that can look a little overcast.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

Samsung's LE40A558 is a bit of a mixed bag with great pictures being spoiled with some motion smearing.

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit

The various motion issues exhibited by the 40A558's pictures make it impossible for me to give it a whole-hearted recommendation, and will likely make it a non-starter for AV purists. In other words, if I'm honest, I wouldn't seriously consider buying one myself, saving up instead for something from the A656 series or beyond.
