Brilliant LED picture quality and a wealth of entertainment options.
Slim and Stylish LED HDTV
LED backlighting is not only more energy-efficient than its CCFL couterpart, it allows for a slimmer television design, allowing the UN40D5500 to check in at just just over an inch deep without its stand. Samsung’s slim bezel design adds to the visual appeal, making this display almost all screen, and a worthy addition to most any room.
The UN40D5500 also features Samsung’s “Touch of Color” design, which blends a hint of amber color into the traditional piano black bezel frame, for eye-catching style even when your TV is turned off.
1080p Full HD With Four HDMI Inputs
The UN40D5500 delivers Full HD 1080p resolution, for a superb level of detail and clarity in your picture. To connect your sources, four HDMI inputs are provided, for delivering a Full HD picture and audio over a single cable.
Exceeds ENERGY STAR Standards
The UN40D5500 taps into the energy efficiency of LED backlighting, and exceeds the strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy by up to 50%. That means you get lower utility costs, and a smaller carbon footprint.
Samsung’s ConnectShare lets you easily connect a thumb drive or digital camera via USB and enjoy videos, music, or picture files.
Wide Color Enhancer Plus delivers the entire spectrum of color and luminance for rich, saturated images with intense detail.

The challenge of any TV screen is to recreate reality through color and light. Samsung takes on this challenge with their Wide Color Enhancer Pro feature. After analyzing each pixel, it stretches them to their 3-dimensional limit. What you get is the the entire spectrum of color and luminance for rich, saturated images with intense detail.
Audio Performance

SRS helps ensure you get the most out of the UN40D55000′s two 10-watt speakers, and additional technologies like Dolby Digital Plus and support for multi-channel sound (MTS) add even more on the sonic side of things.
