    Yes Samsung yes Kezo tv Dan says that on you tube have you saw him he un boxes the TVs and sets them up going through all the settings and show final picture and his thoughts he is in Leeds

    Can’t find the review Mike – feel free to post a link.

    Samsung UE40EH5000….

    I’m looking for it’s peak brightness in cd/m2 or nit’s, I’m getting 200cd/m2 but it may have a little more. It doesnt have HDR from what I can find, so it could well be circa 200-500 sc/m2 (nits) given it’s a 2012 TV costing around £400 in Samsung budget line up. The couple of LED TV’s Ive put up and of course the Hisense Oled you asked about have a far superior peak brightness. However this is not the be all and end all of buying a TV.

    The TV is directlit which is good and far superior  to edge lit – It won’t be a match on TV’s of a decade later with Quantum dot- mini LED that have local dimming zones.

    For the period the TV had impessive vibrant colours with fairly natural tones asides skintone issues. HD images were crisp, high contrast was good with decent blacks for a budget set. Motion has some blurring and loss lcd/led suffer particularly a decade ago. The TB is at its best in HD but perfectly watchable in SD. The picture quality is leagues ahead given it’s budget price.

    Info from AVforums, hdtvtest, tv productz and trusted review.

    So all in all it doesn’t sound like a bad set, whether it will go up agains’t TV’s a decade on is a completly different matter – of course you know this. Regard’s putting a video up of BBC Breakfast with a lady on a red sofa – I don’t think I will see what your seeing due to compression, along with o/led its difficult to get a good video due to the tech and will look crap as did the links I put up. By all means do it and we can have a look 🙂
