Samsung is known for its feature-packed TVs and remotes. The budget F5000 series is on the low end for Samsung electronics, both in price and features. However, for the money, it does have a lot to offer for fans of LED LCD TVs.
The TV features a minimalistic black frame, which is standard for Samsung. The stand is also made of black glossy plastic. For most sizes of the TV, the stand seems rather large and clunky, plus it does not swivel. The width of the TV is very thin due to the LED backlit technology, which almost makes up for the large stand. It comes with a small factory backlit remote with large buttons. The size of the remote is great, but with so many buttons, it is cluttered.
The F5000 offers two HDMI ports and USB connectivity. From the USB port it can play back videos, photos and music from thumb drives and other USB devices. It offers a decent amount of color management options, considering that it is a low end TV.
The picture quality of this model is excellent for a budget TV. The color is very accurate, with surprisingly deep black levels for LED LCD technology. The picture quality does rival that of more expensive TVs, but its video processing is its major flaw. All-in-all, it is a good value TV, even with its shortcomings.
