(More customer reviews)Hello folks, I thought I would go ahead and write a review since there seems to be none on the net about this specific model. This was the first time I ordered a tv through the net however I am not new to the flat panel world. I currently own the samsung LED 120Hz TV UN40B6000 as well as two other 42 inch panasonic plasma televisions and now this beautiful LN4C560 LCD.
I needed a spare tv for the guest room and was originally looking at no name brands and almost pulled the trigger on the samsung ln40c500 which is the stripped down holiday version of this model (1hdmi, no apps, no wifi,...) for [...]. At first nothing stood out to me about the Ln40c560 from the other 40 inch samsungs other than the price. Amazon had this at a special price on 1/4/2011 for [...] shipped including the [...] Samsung LinkStick for free. The special was only on for 2 hours in the middle of the day. The package shipped from UPS with the factory box (Samsung logos and model numbers). It was at my doorstep 2 days after I ordered it, the linkstick however just shipped out today which is not really a big deal for me. Tv was spotless and the box was well handled, the UPS guy didnt mind waiting while I took it out the box and inspected it throughly too.
The Tv itself is very beautiful in person, My Samsung LED also has the red touch of color and its perfect on this set too, just enough to know the red is there but not enough to distract from the home decor. I wouldnt call the set heavy, when you hold it it feels very solid. For example, on my LED the hdmi and UBS ports wiggle around a bit, not at all with this model (trust me i tried lol).
The picture is amazing. Being a Samsung owner I already knew what to expect, but the picture is a lot better than what my Samsung LED is throwing out. The menus on this model are revamped with better graphics and run a lot smoother than my LED Tv. This can partially be because my LED is a 2009 model and this is a 2010 however I thought being my LED cost almost double what the LN40C560 is going for right now, I thought the LED would still be a step up, apparently not. In my honest opinion, I don't see ANY difference at all with the 60hz and 120hz everyone is talking about and I watch a lot of football. There is zero blur or lag, just a very clean, clear, and detailed picture. I don't know how else to put it, as long as your source is HD, the picture on this set will look exactly like the picture you see on the displays at BestBuy. Standard channels look like they should and are not distorted or grainy.
My advice would be to look at Samsungs site for the specs and not on amazon for this set because it DOES have the internet apps, as well as the DLNA feature to wirelessly stream your videos and media from your pc to tv which is a very easy process if you use Serviio. The USB works very well too, plays videos and pics... Remote is also nice and better than the one from 2009. New one doesn't have that terrible wing at the bottom, and has grippier buttons.
The built in speakers are the nicer ones for an lcd tv. After using an LED with he stock speakers for over a year I finally upgraded to a small home theater, however the speakers on the Ln40c560 are a TON better than the ones samsungs gives in its LEDs and are actually bearable. I only have to raise the volume to 20 on this set versus 50 on my LED. You can always put a sound system later on however I find this LCD has a really good set of speakers for what it is.
Other than that this has been a great experience so far, I used to be a pansonic fanboy until samsung stepped their game up and started making the better televisions at very competitive prices. For anyone looking to buy this model I would say don't hesitate, its a great piece of equipment. If you have any questions, I would be more than glad top help answer them.
cheers,
moe.
