For this money, the consumer receives Full HD resolution, a convenient control system, simple settings and a universal player that can play video content of various formats.
This model is involved in ranking of the best Full HD TVs and in ranking of the best TVs 40 inches.
Screen
Liquid crystal, with a diagonal of 40 inches (102 cm). The classic aspect ratio is 16: 9. The screen resolution is Full HD (1920 × 1080 px), so the content is very clear and detailed. TV has the same characteristics Prestigio 40 Wize 1. But it costs less - .
Hyundai H-LED40F401WS2 has LED backlighting. LEDs are located on the sides of the matrix, so the display is thin. The only drawback is the flare around the edges. The viewing angle is 176 degrees.
Appearance
The design is simple, no frills. The monolithic frame framing the screen is made of silver plastic. Native stand - legs of complex shape made of durable plastic. The TV is stable, with a slight tilt back. Interface connectors are located in two niches on the rear panel. Some of them are directed downward, part - sideways. Can be hung on the wall with a bracket for the VESA 300 × 300 mm mounting hole. Weight - 6.8 kg.
Connectors
To connect additional devices are provided:
- HDMI - 3 pcs.;
- USB - 2 pcs.;
- AV input;
- headphone jack (3.5 mm).
The USB port turns the TV into a home theater. You need to insert a USB flash drive or hard drive into the connector to watch your favorite movie on the big screen. The HDMI connector allows you to use the TV as a home entertainment center. Through it, you can connect a computer, smartphone and other devices. The Hyundai H-LED40F401WS2 screen is much larger, so it’s more convenient to watch a movie or play.
But these connectors may not be enough. On the expensive HARPER 40F660TSwhich is equipped with such connectors: AV input, component input, SCART, HDMI (3 pcs.), USB (2 pcs.), Ethernet (RJ-45), headphone jack.
Sound
Acoustic system - 2 built-in speakers, each with a power of 8 watts. The total sound power is 16 watts. For comparison: the same HARPER 40F660TS has a more powerful sound at 20 watts. However, the volume of the built-in speaker system is sufficient for a typical-sized living room. There are high and medium frequencies, almost no low frequencies. Even at moderate volume, the body resonates, which greatly reduces the sound quality. In headphones, the sound quality is better.
Functions
The Hyundai H-LED40F401WS2 TV for today has limited functionality, since it does not belong to the “smart technique” running on the Android OS. Only two basic functions are available to the user - this is video recording and Time Shift. The first allows you to record broadcast programs on an external storage medium, and the second allows you to stop showing the broadcast program and record it to continue viewing from the moment it stops. If this is not enough, then it is better to choose HARPER 40F660TS with a Smart TV feature that expands its capabilities. A user connected to the Internet can browse web pages and use different applications.
