Is a 40-inch 1080p TV still worth buying?

Yes if the screen sits close to the viewer or in a second room. At normal sofa distance a 4K set of the same size shows more detail, so pick 4K if this is your main TV.

Does it support 4K or only Full HD?

Only Full HD. The panel is 1920 x 1080, so 4K content is downscaled to 1080p.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes. Both assistants are supported, so you can use voice commands for power, volume, inputs and basic playback.

Yes, it uses a standard VESA mount. At around 16 lb for the 40-inch model, a basic fixed bracket is enough.

Do I need a soundbar?

Not strictly, but most owners find the built-in speakers weak for films and sport. A budget soundbar is the single biggest upgrade.

What connections does it have?

HDMI, USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The HDMI count is small, so a switcher helps if you have a console, box and soundbar.

Our take on the Samsung Smart TV 40-inch

This is a 40-inch 1080p LED smart TV from Samsung, with HDR, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and built-in Google Assistant and Alexa support. It is a modest, mainstream set: Full HD rather than 4K, with a 60 Hz-class panel and virtual 3D sound processing. It suits a bedroom, kitchen, dorm or second room where a 40-inch screen is enough and 4K would be wasted. Against budget rivals it wins on the smart platform and voice assistants; against 4K sets at similar sizes it gives up sharpness and HDR impact.

Pros

Full HD 1080p panel is a clear step up from 720p
HDR support adds contrast on compatible content
Works with both Alexa and Google Assistant
Full smart hub with the main streaming apps
Wired Ethernet plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Light for its size, so easy to wall-mount

Cons

No 4K, so it trails similarly sized 4K sets on detail
HDR on an entry LED panel is limited, not a showcase
60 Hz panel shows motion blur in fast sport and games
Built-in sound is thin; a soundbar helps
Fewer HDMI ports than larger Samsung models
