Samsungs high end flat panel TVs have been getting all of the attention recently with their mid level and budget TVs slipping quietly under the radar. The LE40B550 deserves as much recognition as Samsungs higher end models in that it offers quite p...

In the past, we've frequently struggled to persuade Samsung to send its relatively low-end tellies over for review. It's been tempting to see this as Samsung thinking its cheaper TVs are a bit shoddy and not wanting them to be pummeled in reviews leading...
Yes, the main review of the 40B550 finished with a few negatives. However, it's the positive points about this in some ways quite remarkable TV that really dominate, leaving the few flaws to be easily swallowed up by the allure of its astonishingly low pr...

Samsung's LE32B550 has a curvy, clear-edged bezel that looks classy and, along with the solid glass plinth, will look great in any living room. The remote also looks stylish and has large, clearly labelled and grouped buttons. The menu system is well l...

Samsung’s latest 37-incher bins the 100Hz processing of its more-expensive siblings, and offers a lower claimed contrast ratio. But still, it’s a £550 (you’ll find it cheaper online) 37in telly with some pretty serious specs. We’re impressed.The deathl...
