With a brilliant 1080p display, 60,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and multiple HDMI inputs, this HDTV provides a stunning focus for your multimedia center.

I purchased a LN40A530 six months ago and love it…quality, sound, everything about it is great. The only issue is that it will not fit in our new cabinet so I went out and purchased the LN40B530 couple of days ago because it is 2 inches smaller.
While the TV is indeed a bit smaller that is not all that has changed - I am disappointed that SAMSUNG has taken the path of providing less in order to achieve an artificial price point.
The new LN40B530 has a number of missing features –
No audio jack to allow for private listening
No side inputs that allow for a quick connection to a camera or playstation unit.
No backlit remote – very nice feature on the previous unit and speaking of remotes (the new remote seems to have less features and also seems flimsier) .
So my recommendation is to find an older LN40A530 at a possibly discounted price (much better value)

What's great about it: Overall size, picture quality
What's not so great: no audio jack for headset, no lit remote, no side inputs
I would recommend this to a friend!
