Description

Description

Screen Size

The model 40FG2S14 by Thomson features a 40" screen size. The minimum recommended viewing distance for this size is 1.5m and the maximum is 2.5m. This size is recommended for placement in living rooms or larger rooms.

Full HD

The resolution of the TV is Full HD. TVs with Full HD resolution are aimed at consumers who seek higher image quality compared to HD Ready TVs. Full HD resolution, which amounts to 1920 x 1080 pixels, offers more detailed image reproduction, making these TVs suitable for watching movies, sports events, gaming, and other entertainment activities with higher image quality demands.

They are usually targeted at consumers who seek good image quality without investing in more expensive TVs with higher quality resolutions, such as 4K.

Direct LED

The TV panel is Direct LED. The main advantages of the Direct LED panel in televisions are the uniform brightness across the entire screen, improved contrast, and deeper black representation. The panel consists of multiple small LEDs that are placed behind the screen and can be controlled individually to offer greater accuracy in color reproduction and improved contrast. Additionally, TVs with Direct LED panels are usually less expensive compared to OLED and QLED TVs of similar sizes.

Smart TV

This model belongs to the broader family of Smart TVs. Smart TVs represent the evolution in television technology, as they incorporate Internet functions, allowing browsing of websites and the use of online applications (e.g., Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, etc.). They are, in other words, an example of the technological convergence between computers and televisions. The latest Smart TVs have the capability for full Internet browsing, while older models support access only to popular websites (e.g., YouTube, Facebook, Twitter) through appropriate applications.

Direct LED

Local Dimming
No

Local Dimming

LED TVs use LED backlighting behind the screen. LED TVs with Local Dimming capability can illuminate different areas of the screen with different intensities, achieving better local black performance and contrast compared to regular LEDs.

OLED TVs do not require this technology as the lighting is integrated into each individual pixel and can be completely turned off, providing absolute black and even better contrast.

Audio

Channels
Stereo

Channels

Channels refer to the number and type of individual speakers contained in the television and are described by 2 numbers separated by a dot. The first number refers to how many full-range speakers (speakers for the entire frequency range) the television contains, while the second refers to how many subwoofer-type speakers (speakers specialized for bass frequencies). For example, a television with 2.1 speakers has 2 regular speakers and 1 subwoofer.

2. Almost all television programs are stereo (for playback from at least 2 speakers), meaning they are designed to sound different in each of the 2 speakers to give the listener a sense of space. More speakers make this feeling even more realistic, and the presence of a subwoofer gives fuller bass.

Stereo
Most televisions have stereo speakers, meaning they contain 2 speakers for stereo sound (sound with depth).
Power
16 W

Power

The sum of the power of the TV speakers. Most TVs have 2 speakers of 10 watts each, which add up to 20 watts.

The TV speakers are sufficient for basic use, but for an improved experience, it is recommended to use a Soundbar or a Home Cinema system.

    Very mediocre picture for direct LED. The sound is terrible but that's expected in this category. Decent Google TV that "struggles" at times. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it

    This review is about the size: 40 "

    Compared to the TCL 40s6203 that I had and accidentally broke, this one is better. I bought it mainly due to space constraints for movies (not for gaming at all). The reason I chose it is the direct LED (check on YouTube what it does) which makes the black much darker, and indeed compared to the TCL, its picture quality is far superior; this will be more evident in a high-resolution movie. Although I read online that TCL makes Thomson's TVs, the truth is they are different. The software is not the same as Thomson's; it is simpler and easier. Setting the channels to your desired number is the easiest and quickest I've seen on a TV—3 minutes tops. The Thomson remote is of much higher quality, with backlit buttons that light up as soon as you press any button, and it has two functions that are not present on the TCL remote. The first is the live TV feature, which allows you to enter the TV with one button, something that will help the elderly, as it is located at the very bottom, making it even easier for them to find. It also has another favorite button that you can set to whatever you want. Netflix, YouTube, Disney, Prime Video are standard buttons. The Thomson responds much faster when switching channels than both Samsung and LG and the TCL I had previously, but I noticed that this only applies when you zap one channel at a time with the +/- on the remote; if you zap using the buttons, for example, from channel 1 to channel 8, it will take longer to change channels, but still, it does it faster than the TCL. Even in adjusting the volume, it has a better response than the TCL, which took 2 seconds to display the sound indicator. The voice command works perfectly. In summary, my dilemma was the Direct LED that only Thomson offers in the 40" versus the HDR10 that TCL offers. Having both in my possession, I can confidently say that Direct LED and Thomson is the best 40" available on Skroutz

Even in adjusting the volume, it has a better response than the TCL, which took 2 seconds to display the sound indicator. The voice command works perfectly. In summary, my dilemma was the Direct LED that only Thomson offers in the 40" versus the HDR10 that TCL offers. Having both in my possession, I can confidently say that Direct LED and Thomson is the best 40" available on Skroutz

    Very mediocre picture for direct LED. The sound is terrible but that's expected in this category. Decent Google TV that "struggles" at times. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it

    Good picture and sound. The remote control seems to be of good quality. Compared to the cheap JVC & FU, it is superior by far. I would choose it again

    After a month of use, it is definitely value for money. Sometimes it takes a while to open applications, and the transmission from the computer also freezes.

    Compared to the TCL 40s6203 that I had and accidentally broke, this one is better. I bought it mainly due to space constraints for movies (not for gaming at all). The reason I chose it is the direct LED (check on YouTube what it does) which makes the black much darker, and indeed compared to the TCL, its picture quality is far superior; this will be more evident in a high-resolution movie. Although I read online that TCL makes Thomson's TVs, the truth is they are different. The software is not the same as Thomson's; it is simpler and easier. Setting the channels to your desired number is the easiest and quickest I've seen on a TV—3 minutes tops. The Thomson remote is of much higher quality, with backlit buttons that light up as soon as you press any button, and it has two functions that are not present on the TCL remote. The first is the live TV feature, which allows you to enter the TV with one button, something that will help the elderly, as it is located at the very bottom, making it even easier for them to find. It also has another favorite button that you can set to whatever you want. Netflix, YouTube, Disney, Prime Video are standard buttons. The Thomson responds much faster when switching channels than both Samsung and LG and the TCL I had previously, but I noticed that this only applies when you zap one channel at a time with the +/- on the remote; if you zap using the buttons, for example, from channel 1 to channel 8, it will take longer to change channels, but still, it does it faster than the TCL. Even in adjusting the volume, it has a better response than the TCL, which took 2 seconds to display the sound indicator. The voice command works perfectly. In summary, my dilemma was the Direct LED that only Thomson offers in the 40" versus the HDR10 that TCL offers. Having both in my possession, I can confidently say that Direct LED and Thomson is the best 40" available on Skroutz
