Design
The UE40ES6300 will suit almost anyone’s tastes, because it’s both slim and cleanly designed. The LCD panel is framed by a glossy black bezel which is roughly 1cm thick at all sides. Framing that is a final transparent plastic border, with the faux-glass look that Samsung made so popular.
The 40ES6300 is shipped with a black variant of the “chicken foot” quad-legged stand. Attaching it was no trouble at all – unlike some previous Samsung HDTVs we’ve reviewed, the parts easily fit together, and given the relatively lightweight nature of a 40-inch LCD screen, it was no trouble at all to flip the TV on its side and screw the stand in.
Connections
- 3 HDMI inputs
- 1 Component input
- 1 SCART input
- 1 Composite input
- 1 PC “VGA” input
- Aerial input (DVB-T2 / “Freeview HD”)
- Satellite input (DVB-S2 / “Freesat HD”)
The UE40ES6300 uses “real”, direct inputs for all of its AV terminals, with the inputs on the back of the unit facing towards the wall. This will be non-ideal for wall-mounters, but there is some relief in the form of a single side-facing “HDMI3” input, which all video could theoretically be piped into if an ultra-clean installation is your priority.
Given that most users will simply be using the supplied table-top stand, we imagine the direct inputs, eliminating the need to dig break-out adapter cables out of the box, will be a blessing.
