The Samsung LE40B530 may not include all the latest techno gadgets or even LED backlight but is now great value at under £500 for a 40 inch Full HD LCD.
Internet TVs with widgets may sound a must have but the technology for web browsing is really in its early days yet. Another tempting feature is the latest ultra slim TVs but as not everyone wall mounts their TV the panels thickness shouldn’t pose a problem when placed on a corner TV unit or stand.
