Everything about this TV is beyond my expectations, was doing a lot of research and found this model to be just the right choice but was completely surprised as how beautiful the craftsmanship and features it has when I got home and set it up !! Hats off to you Samsung !!Keep up the good work.
Takes me a long time to purchase anything. Price and picture quality prompted me to go with this unit. The only problem i originally had was whether this tv was 60hz or 120hz. The site where i purchased it and the box said it was 120 clear motion rate. I already own an LG 120hz lcd and the picture is exceptional. Extremely noticeable when compared to a 60hz tv. Some site reviews kept claiming the tv is 60hz but after playing a few blu rays and calling Samsung tech support i'm convinced it is 120. Aside from that and the documentation not clearly stating whether this model also supports 3D i love the tv. Installed Allshare play on my PC and already have it on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 and the tv detects and plays all my media from my pc and tablet. The tablet also turns into a remote for the tv. The Smart tv page is also awesome. Has as many apps available for the tv as the Samsung app store on my tablet. Already talked some family members into purchasing a similar tv.
Samsung products all share a remarkably clear screen and this Smart tv is no exception. I moved to this after having a Roku and the ease in moving from app to app is amazing. In truth, the price was the same as buying a tv and getting the set top box. I especially like the search and schedule features so I can watch anything I'd like to see whether it's on a national channel or a video coming out on VuDu.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Its areally good tv, I got it a few months ago and works great. great image quality, sound and apps
This Samsung 40" 5300 series offers high resolution and the sound is outstanding. We mostly only use the built-in speakers when we watch TV, but even then the sound is very crisp and clean. The picture quality and depth is the best that I have seen. Best of all it is only 36.5" wide so it fits nicely in our entertainment center. The Smart tv features are pretty nice. Watching all sorts of YouTube videos on this tv is completely awesome. I have it connected to our high-speed broadband via a wired connection which was incredibly easy to setup. This tv comes with a nice remote that is simple and easy to navigate with. I would highly recommend this Samsung Smart TV.
As a Samsung product there is absolutely no doubt on quality of picture, sound, slimness etc. But as a SMART TV it is not worthy because 1. The browser is very very poor you can not play anything from internet more than 10 min. The browser crashes as the streaming is not possible. 2. I suggest better go for any Samsung LED TV and use wide range of streaming devices like chromecast, roku, apple tv etc it will give you better control on apps and browser. 3.Samsung app store is limited. 4. If you want to play anything from your ipad, android device you need to buy samsung all share devices that doesn't make any sense as SMART TV better we can go for any other widely available streaming devices. 5. Finally I can say it is Very Good as LED TV but not worth as a SMART TV.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, not worth as a smart tv
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great TV with nice features

Had this Tv for over a month now and loving every minute of it. It has a bright screen, clear crisp picture, and the smart tv apps and features are awesome. Excellent Tv for the price. Only downfall is when trying to use the web browser with the remote. Very time consuming and tedious.
