Back at Boulanger Aubervilliers (who we would like to thank for allowing us to do this review), we crossed paths with the Samsung H5500 entry-level TV set, the follow-up to last year's F5500 series , and decided to take it for a spin. Here's what we found...

The only thing new in the new 5500 series is the prefix. Just like 2013's F5500, 2014's H5500 has good contrast and faithful colours. But, like many an LCD TV, it has extremely narrow viewing angles. It doesn't do 3D, but it does come with connected servi...

One of the few TVs around that manages to be both great value and feel like a real treat, the UE48H5500 is perhaps the best 48-inch TV for the price-conscious living room. Its pictures do have tiny flaws if you look for them, but it impresses with both H...

Well, it's the first five series Samsung we've seen in 2014 as the manufacturers are understandably keener for their upper tier ranges to receive more publicity. This is a Full HD TV that comes in a variety of screen sizes – UE32H5500, UE40H5500 & UE48H55...

Is it worth buying?We think Samsung's UE48H5500 is tremendous value. In sheer picture quality terms, it's more than a match for many TVs costing considerably more with great blacks, fantastic colours and excellent screen uniformity. What it lacks is a fan...

For this review we tested the 40in model in the H5500 range, but it's also available in 32in (UE32H5500) and 48in (UE48H5500) screen sizes. All models have identical specifications except for their dimensions and power usage. We're confident that image qu...

We expect that an awful lot of 40-inch Samsung H5500s will be sold over the Christmas 2014 period. It ticks a lot of boxes, as far as the public is concerned, by virtue of the fact it's a 1080p TV boasting an incredible suite of Smart TV features, at a pr...

Samsung UE40H5500 – Sound Quality The UE40H5500's audio isn't as satisfying as its pictures. Its down-firing speakers sound a little muffled when pressed hard, creating a sound that feels almost like it's firing back behind the image rather than being pro...
