Samsung UN32EH4000F (2012): Full Review – Part 4

While the TV lacks advanced colour controls, the colour I was able to get out of it was the best of our small, 32-inch group. Colours were natural-looking and well-saturated, and skin tones were as true as you could expect from a $300 TV. Even in the mono-colour palettes of “Star Trek,” the strong blues and greens look as true to the source (by way of the accurate Samsung D630) as you could expect for this amount of money.

The TV lacks a dedicated 24p mode, and so Blu-ray playback isn’t as silky-smooth as you’ll see on some TVs. The playback was actually the jerkiest on our test fly-by of the USS Intrepid in “I Am Legend” and therefore earns a fail.

If you activate the 60Hz mode (LED Motion Plus), you can get some additional smoothness, and based on my observations it wasn’t as obnoxious as some of the 100Hz modes I’ve seen. Yet, even with this mode enabled the TV wasn’t able to divine much more in the way of motion resolution out of our synthetic test with only 350p visible.

The EH4000 was able to handle interlaced content well, with a pass in our 1080i de-interlacing test. This is especially fortunate given the TV’s inability to display 1080 content natively due to its 1,366×768-pixel resolution.

Though the Samsung had the glossiest screen of the TVs we tested, it was still comparatively matte. When I watched the TV in a lit room there weren’t any distracting reflections exhibited. When viewed under these conditions it also boasted the greatest level of contrast of any of the sets and so is a good choice for rooms with low- to midlevel brightness.
