40 Inch TVs – High Quality & Compact Screen Sizes For Extra Convenience

A 40 inch TV is ideal if you’re living in a condo or simply want to use your space economically. These “medium” sized screens give you all of the same viewing pleasure as a larger screen size, without taking up precious space in your home. They’re also perfect for the bedroom, allowing you to lie back and watch your favorite shows in comfort.

The good news? A smaller screen size doesn’t mean you’ll have to compromise on the technical specifications. In fact, the models in our review offer outstanding OLED screen quality, or 4k quality, rich audio and a host of smart features. They’re simply the best  They’ll also blend into your rooms seamlessly – without detracting from the rest of your decor.

So with all that said, which 40 inch TVs made the grade this year?

 

1) TCL Smart LED Roku TV

Overview

The TCL model has all of TCL’s expertise concentrated into this neatly designed 40 inch smart TV. It’s perfectly formed with slim bezels, and a well crafted V stand. This creates a beautifully stable and very stylish TV that can only add to a modern interior.

What We Like

TCL’s 1080p resolution provides a clear and crisp display. Coupled with smooth motion scrolling, great tonal contrasts, and realistic textural effects, size obviously doesn’t matter! With the audio, too, this diminutive TV packs a punch. The bass resonates nicely, while the top notes flow smoothly, creating an all-round treat for eyes and ears. We really like the intuitive interface – it’s simple to navigate and not overly busy.

What Needs Improving

Whilst not a problem, the consumer code could only be activated via phone and not online.

Samsung’s PurColor adds a stunningly deep dimension to the visual output. Colors are vibrant, textures detailed and the blacks, rich and dark. Motion Rate 120 provides image smoothing, allowing even the fastest chase scenes to be captured and followed in crisp clarity.

The beautifully curved stand supports the screen admirably and echoes the nicely slimline bezels. Sturdy and well made, this model will suit any modern interior, be it bedroom, office or apartment.

What We Like

With enriched colors and realistic tonal qualities, this Samsung TV delivers superbly on visuals. The audio utilizes the excellence that is DTS Premium Sound, providing a rich clarity within an all-round 3D experience. The sound and vision adventure aside, we love Samsung’s Eco Sensor. This energy-saving technology adapts the screen brightness to the intensity of light within the room, thus saving energy, without losing any image quality.

The Smart Hub allows sharing, streaming and downloading music, movies, games, and videos, along with internet connectivity.
