Question 1

What are the differences between the Samsung UN40EH5000FXZA and Samsung UN40F5500AFXZA?

Accepted Answer

Several differences - 2 that come to mind - the F5500 is smart, the EH5000 is not but the EH has direct array LEDs whereas the F has LEDs along its edges.  The direct array provides a bit more uniform lighting and may provide a wider view angle but it is not as thin as the F model.

Question 5

What is the response time of this set? I am considering this one or the UN40F6300, I don't buy all the marketing gimmicks with refresh rate, but would like to compare response times of both thanks.

Accepted Answer

I was concerned about motion blur on this set particularly because I watch a lot of NHL hockey. From my viewing distance of approximately 12 ft., I don't see any noticeable blur and have been very happy with this set. The blacks are very deep and color is very good. Off angle viewing dramatically reduces picture quality but my viewing is straight on so it's not a problem.
