LED Samsung UE48H5500 | big smart TV

The 48-inch Edge LED Samsung UE48H5500 has the most comprehensive smart TV app platform of all alongside a Full HD panel and a Freeview HD tuner, all for around £500. But it is missing one thing: 3D. Oh, the horror! Though it&become almost a standard feature on TVs, the active vision 3D system that Samsung favours means battery-powered 3D specs, so perhaps it won&be missed. Design The UE48H5500 suffers from an entirely plastic build quality, a trend that¬iceably creeping up the TV food-chain to encompass even so-called high-end TVs. However, the UE48H5500 does remain reasonably lightweight despite its monster-big screen; I had no problem constructing the two-piece desktop stand, which requires eight small screws. Although the desktop stand is basically a slab of cheap-looking black plastic, it&reasonably low profile, while the TV itself has a slim frame around the screen that measures a mere 8mm on the top and sides, and 18mm on the undercarriage. There&a slim plastic rim at the bottom, though not on the sides.
