Good Points

Slim looking visual appearance is very pleasing. Picture quality/clarity is excellent. Rotate able stand is highly useable. The advantage of being LCD rather then plasma is highly advantageous namely half the power consumption (lower bills) and less heat being generated. There is lot of added features with this particular 8 series model. There is limited internet facility, being able to play media straight from USB or straight from your desk top/laptop pc is highly advantageous. You can connect to the internet ether by ethernet or by using wireless usb dongle.

Bad Points

Sound quality is poor without proper surround equipment. Screen seems to act lot of dust, when compared to old CRT television,you are for ever more cleaning the screen. Lacks full internet capability – hopefully this may be available in the near future. Wireless capability requires expensive special Samsung wireless dongle. .

Good Points

Really impressed with the Samsung, I spent a great deal of time searching different manufacturers of LCD & Plasma TV's,and the LCD that really stood out from the croud was with the Samsung 8 series LE40A856 40", time well spent. The design, slimness, & picture quality are top notch. Set up was a breeze.

Bad Points

Can't find any.
