Nothing else comes close!,
I spent a year or more researching flat screen TV’s, that includes visiting stores to check out the latest releases & friends who had just purchased as well as endless online articles & reviews.
I wanted to get the best my budget would allow.
I finally decided on LED technology as not only was the picture bright and clear, it also used hardly any power.
Out of all the LED TV’s Samsung seemed to be streets ahead of the competition.
I finally decided on the UE37C6530 series 6, it had everything, in-depth picture tweaking, internet access (albeit via Samsung Apps) and the ability to link wirelessly with other equipment. I bided my time waiting for the price to drop knowing that the new series 6D was just around the corner.
Then to my amazement Samsung released this years series 5D, it had all the features of the previous series 6 and then some. On checking with Samsung the panel and supporting technology actually surpassed the series 6. It was also cheaper, so with no hesitation I purchased this model.
Setting up the TV is a breeze. The build quality of the set and stand is superb and went together in seconds!
Picture:
The initial picture was excellent but still slightly too vivid for my living room.
The picture menu settings are easy to access & follow and after an hour or so fine tuning I can honestly say I have the best picture I have ever seen on a TV.
The detail and clarity is phenomenal. I only have it connected via RF so I get the normal SDTV and 4 HD channels. The up-scaling technology used on the standard SD channels is nothing short of a miracle. There are virtually no artifacts whatsoever, even on the poorest reception.
The HD channels as expected are breath taking.
The difference between SD & HD on this model is very slight, I just don’t know how Samsung have done it.
There is no judder and virtually no motion blur (I say virtually because on one of the poorest channels I did notice just a tinge of blur on high speed action…but I can safely say that was the broadcast quality and not the TV – on everything else it’s SO smooth)
Clearly Samsungs new ‘CMR’ technology works!
The depth of field in the picture has to be seen to be believed, you really do feel like you’re there.
The colour perfomance is truly remarkable and the depth of the black unbeatable.
The picture is undoubtedly the best I have seen on any 37inch LED screen.
Sound:
This is where you see the most complaints about Samsung the `tinny’ sound. What people confuse with `tinny’ is actually just a sound system that has been tuned far too bright.
The top end causes sibilance so `s’ type sounds can be quite piercing.
Fortunately Samsung include a basic graphic EQ section within the sound menu. I quickly raised the bottom end and took the top two bands right down and achieved an excellent near studio quality sound. Even with the volume right up the speakers stood their ground, no distortion or loss of depth in a TV barely 3cm deep Samsung have clearly worked some serious magic here!
The `surround sound’ feature is also excellent adding even more depth especially to movies.
External:
I hooked up a cheap DVD player and the results where outstanding. I then tried various formats via USB, not one hiccup and the quality simply blew me away.
I’ve yet to purchase a Bluray player but I’ve no doubt that the results will be excellent.
You can also have completely separate picture settings for each EXT input and the TV will remember them…awesome!
Internet:
I have only connected via the wired LAN so far (I was hesitant to purchase the separate Wifi dongle until I had judged internet content) but I was able to access various apps, also Google, Facebook, ect; BBCiplayer was incredible, the quality was excellent.
This model doesn’t feature the full blown web browser as I first thought, that feature is currently only available on series 6 up but it may be available via a later update, including a 4OD app and other promised apps (but i’m not going to hold my breath!)
Some of the features are gimmicky others very useful but all free from glitches.
As this TV has the ability to access various PC’s and other wireless devices in the home I will be purchasing the Wifi dongle.
Cons:
There are only two things that niggled me, the first is that when changing channel it takes 3 seconds to load. This is certainly no slower than many other TV’s on the market but I feel it’s worth a mention. Also for some reason the `Teletext’ doesn’t always work (I tested this on 2 sets) I have no idea why and as it’s not a feature I use it doesn’t bother me.
Finally:
With the correct `ECO’ settings which are especially useful at night in a darkened room the TV uses a mere 34 watts, on full blast with all…

Stunning!!,
Bought this TV on Monday using Free Super Saver Delivery, arrived on wednesday. Very impressed with all aspects of the TV-
Very easy to setup.
Bright and crystal clear picture in SD and HD.
Internet features are great and very easy to use, the BBC Iplayer and Youtube Apps are very good and easy to navigate and the picture on the Iplayer is fantastic.
Although I had to connect the TV to the router with an ethernet cable, my laptop was connected wirelessly and I very easily connected to my laptops music, videos and pictures. This is an absolutely brilliant feature, I’m able to play all my music through my TV connected to my amp and speakers, without even getting up!
All in all, a very good bit of kit, buy one now!!

Samsung 37″ UE37D5520,
Great TV and Great Service from Amazon.
Ordered Late on a Wednesday evening for Next day Delivery yes i know i missed the next day but i knew it would arrive by 12pm on Friday which it did via Citilink with no issues. Packaged well and in perfect order.
Excellent picture and Sound Quality (Especially for a Flat screen)
After coming from a 28″ CRT i guess the puicture quality would be good though.
Very easy to set up. Internet Telly with Samsung apps working fine, Done at least 2 upgrades in only a week. Watched Doctor Who on iplayer via Virgin Media connection and no issues.
What else can i say apart from buy one now.
