Is this TV good for a bedroom?

Yes. The 40-inch 1080p screen suits a bedroom or small room, and it is light enough to wall-mount or move. It is not bright enough to fight strong daylight.

No. The panel is 1920 x 1080 (1080p). If you sit close or want future-proofing, a 4K set at the same size is the better pick.

Does HDR work on this TV?

It accepts HDR signals, but a Full HD LED panel cannot show the brightness and color range HDR needs. Expect only a small difference.

Which voice assistants work with it?

It works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it by voice through a compatible device or the TV's own assistant features.

What connections does it have?

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, USB and HDMI. That covers streaming, a console or set-top box, and a wired network if Wi-Fi is weak.

Should I add a soundbar?

Most owners should. The built-in speakers are the most common complaint, and even a budget soundbar improves films noticeably.

Our take on the Samsung Full HD Smart TV Wi-Fi 40-inch

A 40-inch 1080p LED smart TV from Samsung with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, USB and HDMI, plus HDR and support for Alexa and Google Assistant. It is a basic set aimed at bedrooms, kitchens and small living rooms where a 4K panel would be wasted. Against budget rivals it leans on Samsung's Tizen smart platform and voice control rather than picture quality. Reviewers of this class of Samsung set praise the easy setup and app selection but note that HDR on a 1080p panel adds little and that sound is thin.
