Samsung LE40B650

With the LE40B650, Samsung has taken the internet and squeezed it into a TV. Plenty of brands have tried to do this trick in the past, by mating the PC with the TV, but this is the first screen we've seen that utilises the internet widget platform developed by Yahoo and Intel to get the same effect.

Much like standard PC widgets, these little apps, called 'Internet TV' by Samsung, live in flash memory and can be accessed via a horizontal dock at the bottom of the screen. Out of the box, the LE40B650 offers news, weather, YouTube and Flickr.

It's a very simple process of plugging in an Ethernet cable and taking the LE40B650 online. And if you don't have a wired network Samsung will sell you a wireless dongle for £50 pre-loaded with all the correct drivers. The set's considerable network credentials extend to streaming audio and (standard-def) video files from PCs on your network, and twin USB 2.0 ports for quick access to your digital stuff (dubbed Media Play), plus a whole heap of resident guff like still image artworks, recipes and kids stories, in the Content Library. Unlike previous Samsung sets which have offered such diversions, you can add and delete new material as it becomes available (quarterly) via USB.
