Reddit mentions of Samsung UN40H5003 40-Inch 1080p LED TV (2014 Model)

My opinion, as someone that has had basically every combination you can imagine of 1-5 monitors:

If you're going side-by-side, your suggestion is fine. Size and resolution are important, not the panel type and refresh rate.

My preference is to wall mount a TV above the PC monitor. Right now, I have a 27" 1440p monitor and a 40" Samsung LED TV right above it.

TV on sale was the same price as a monitor, $279!

If you're watching netflix/youtube/video chat, it's nice to have the bigger screen. It's higher, so a friend on your bed or another chair can clearly see over your head. It's great for a map or tutorial while gaming. I use it all the time for a guide+Discord. Plus, you can always throw cable/console/chromecast/firestick on it and watch something while gaming while not bogging down the PC.

I actually had a post about this the other day and deleted it, because I found the perfect thing. No smart features at all.

I'm looking to get a good gaming tv that's around 40-inches for under $450 any advice on what tv I should get? I've looked at a few so far, but I would like to get one that doesn't have much motion blur and a low input lag. Any suggestions to the tvs listed below or any tvs would be deeply appreciated.

Up to $299 now.

What about this one: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN40H5003-40-Inch-Measured-Diagonally/dp/B00MYBR75O

the back is chunky as hell but i can stomach the price a lot easier and its still brand name.

btw, i sit like 5.5ish feet away from the screen so could i get away with a 32"? i really dont want to spend $400 if i can help it and would much rather buy this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V0923TG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=35ISRWYN2SZG9&coliid=I7DLGTN14T7D2&psc=1

if i did go that route is that a good 32 (taking into consideration i dont care about smart)?

ITT: why are people suggesting 4k Smart TVs? Honestly asking. Embedded apps are usually proprietary and they eventually stop pushing updates. Case in point: I have a 7 year old Smart Bluray player that runs Netflix like GARBAGE. Haven't bought 'smart' anything since, I'll stick with a Roku that I can swap out if it gets old. PS4 doesn't support 4k.

I mean, I get that it's not that much more expensive for a 4k TV now, but I bet OP could get a nice 1080p dumb TV for $250 with better picture quality.
