Samsung has grown massively as a brand in recent years and the 40in 40ES6800 is a good example of why. It's a great looking TV that includes both Freesat and Freeview HD tuners. Round the back there are three HDMI ports, three USB connectors, including...

There's much to like about the Samsung UE40ES6800. Its design is cute, if hardly groundbreaking, its feature list is long for a mid-range TV, and its online services are second to none. It's also capable of producing some very fine pictures, especially i...

This is the first of Samsung’s ES6800 range we’ve tested, and visually it’s more than a little reminiscent of last year’s D7000 range.That’s not a criticism, by the way – the is a handsome, slim-bezelled device, and the claw-like stand remains a worth...

In its bid to produce an affordable mid-range TV in the UE40ES6800, Samsung has taken away some of the headline attractions of its flagship ES7000 and ES8000 models. For instance, it doesn't feature an especially slim bezel, it doesn't offer any 'alternat...

Samsung’s ES6800 series screen rolls back the kookier features found in the top-end ES8000 range, instead focussing on delivering solid image quality. Its stripped back feature list matches its mid-range price tag, but does it rob the ES6800 of all that made...
Though a little more rough around the edges than the ES8000 series, the ES6800 represents good value for money. Image quality is strong for the price range, and there’s a superb selection of Smart TV content on offer. Some will argue that the ES8000’s...

The Samsung UE46ES6800 sits nestled just below their top-tier ES8000 and ES7000 in its range of 3D LED TVs and as such features a slightly diminished checklist of specs and features. There's no built-in camera and therefore no gesture controls – that's pr...

The UE46ES68000 possesses two down-firing, full range speakers with a claimed 10W per channel output that were predictably thin in the lower frequencies but coped well with dialogue and capable of hitting reasonably high volumes before any noticeable dist...

Being the world’s largest television manufacturer by shipment volume, as well as the one responsible for seeding the popularity of “LED TV” displays among consumers, Samsung Electronics understandably offers a huge selection of such TVs to cater for al...
The Samsung UE46ES6800 is a decent enough alternative for those who can't stretch their budget to the ES7000 or ES8000 series, even though its HD picture quality – particularly from the inbuilt Freeview and Freesat tuners – is a touch off compared to its...
