All new Samsung LE40C654 LCD television adds more beauty to its range of televisions and be a great contender among the other LCD televisions. This 40 Inch LCD television comes with many exclusivity than the previous models in the Samsung LCD series of televisions.

Design

The Ultra Clear Panel comes with most of the Samsung LCD Full HD televisions. They are very attractive to look and it adds more beauty to the living room. The black bezel gives royal and rich look to this 40 Inch LCD television. The Crystal Design is most latest trend among the LCD TV designs. The Samsung LE40C654 40″ LCD TV is built with Crystal Design, in which the extreme edges of the bezel are bordered with a transparent layer of fiber. It looks similar to glass, unless it is seen closer and the built quality is awesome.

There is an indicative light in the bottom of the screen, as it could be more helpful to find out whether the TV is turned on or off. Nowadays the back panel of televisions are being made out of plastic, where the fashion of having a metal back is gone. But, this Freeview LCD television comes with a metal back cover.
Although the design have some ups and downs, Samsung did a great job with the design of 40 Inch LCD TV.

Display and Picture Quality

The bezel is glossy and it has superior quality LCD display which makes Samsung LE40C654 Freeview HD LCD TV, an  Ultra Clear Panelled television.

Although Samsung LE40C654 lacks in IPS display, it has the best VA based display than any other VA based televisions. But IPS LCD televisions could be more expensive than a normal LCD televisions. Sometimes the television causes some reflections in the screen when its kept in a very bright room. The blacks are more sharper and deeper. Picture quality is pretty alluring and better than their rival brands’ television in its class. Most of the LCD televisions will not produce deeper and sharper black in darkened room, but its amazing that LE40C654 gives the best than all other competiting televisions in the market.

The 3D realisation which adds little bit 3D impression to the ordinary 2D input. But there is nothing more to expect out of this feature, as we all know that an original is always the best.
