Our take on the Samsung Class 5 Series 40" 1080p Smart LED Tizen TV
The Samsung Class 5 Series is a 40-inch 1080p LED TV running Samsung's Tizen smart platform, which puts the major streaming apps on screen without a separate streaming stick. It is a basic set: Full HD, not 4K, and edge-lit LED rather than the full-array backlights found on Samsung's step-up models. It suits a bedroom, kitchen, dorm or second room where a small screen and built-in apps matter more than picture quality. Against similarly sized budget rivals it stands out on the smart interface and app selection, but it lacks the 4K resolution, HDR and higher refresh rates of TVs one tier up.
- Tizen smart platform with the main streaming apps built in
- Full HD 1080p panel is sharp enough at 40 inches
- Simple setup and an easy-to-navigate remote-driven interface
- Compact size fits small rooms and stands
- Samsung's app store and screen mirroring support

What reviewers say
Owners of Samsung's small Class 5 sets generally treat them as dependable secondary TVs: easy to set up, with the apps they use already installed. Complaints center on picture quality, which is fine for the size but short of what 4K and HDR sets deliver, and on modest sound.
- Picture qualityMixedOwners find the 1080p picture crisp for the size but note it can't match 4K or HDR sets for contrast and color.
- Smart platformPraisedThe Tizen interface and built-in apps are called easy to use and quick to load.
- SoundCriticisedReviewers say the built-in speakers are thin and encourage adding a soundbar.
Questions and answers
- Is this TV 4K?
- No. It is a 1080p Full HD set, so it does not offer 4K resolution or HDR.
- Does it have the major streaming apps built in?
- Yes. The Tizen platform includes the main streaming apps, so no separate streaming device is needed.
- What size room suits a 40-inch TV?
- A 40-inch screen works well in a bedroom, kitchen, dorm or small living room, roughly 5 to 8 feet from the viewer.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Not required, but the built-in speakers are basic, so a soundbar improves dialogue and music.
- Can I mount it on a wall?
- Yes, it has standard VESA mounting points, though the stand is fine for a dresser or shelf.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It is fine for casual gaming, but the 60Hz panel and lack of HDR suit it better to everyday viewing than competitive play.
