TVs from the South Korean company Hyundai are very popular: this inexpensive technique is appreciated for its good build quality. Hyundai model H-LED40F401WS2 was introduced in 2018. One of the cheapest in the brand's 40-inch TV line. Price - 13,400 rubles. For this money, the consumer gets Full HD resolution, a convenient control system, simple settings and a universal player capable of playing video content in different formats.
This model participates in rating of the best Full HD TVs and in rating of the best 40-inch TVs.
Screen
Liquid crystal, 40 inches (102 cm) diagonal. The aspect ratio is classic - 16: 9. The screen resolution is Full HD (1920 × 1080 px), so the content is high-definition and detailed. The TV has the same characteristics. Prestigio 40 Wize 1... But it costs less - 13,000 rubles.
The Hyundai H-LED40F401WS2 has LED backlighting. The LEDs are located on the sides of the matrix, so the display is slim. The only drawback is the highlights around the edges. The viewing angle is 176 degrees.
Appearance
The design is simple, no frills. The monolithic frame surrounding the screen is made of silver-colored plastic. Standard stand - complex-shaped legs made of durable plastic. The TV is stable, with a slight tilt back. Interface connectors are located in two niches on the rear panel. Some of them are directed downward, some - sideways. Can be wall-hung with VESA mount bracket 300 × 300mm. Weight - 6.8 kg.
Connectors
To connect additional devices, the following are provided:
- HDMI - 3 pcs.;
- USB - 2 pcs.;
- AV input;
- headphone jack (3.5 mm).
The USB port turns your TV into a home theater. You need to insert a USB flash drive or hard drive into the connector to watch your favorite movie on the big screen. The HDMI connector allows the TV to be used as a home entertainment center. Through it, you can connect a computer, smartphone and other devices. The Hyundai H-LED40F401WS2 screen is much larger, so it is more convenient to watch a movie or play.
But these connectors may not be enough. 200 rubles more HARPER 40F660TS, which is equipped with such connectors: AV input, component input, SCART, HDMI (3 pcs.), USB (2 pcs.), Ethernet (RJ-45), headphone jack.
Sound
Acoustic system - 2 built-in speakers, each with a power of 8 watts. The total sound power is 16 W. For comparison: the same HARPER 40F660TS has a more powerful sound of 20 watts. However, the built-in speaker system is loud enough for a typical living room. There are high and medium frequencies, there are practically no low frequencies. Even at moderate volumes, the cabinet resonates, which severely degrades sound quality. The sound quality is better with headphones.
Functions
The Hyundai H-LED40F401WS2 TV for the current times has limited functionality, since it does not belong to "smart technology" running on Android OS. There are only two basic functions available to the user - video recording and Time Shift. The first allows you to record on-air programs on an external storage medium, and the second allows you to stop the broadcasting program and record it in order to continue watching from the moment it was stopped. If this is not enough, then it is better to choose HARPER 40F660TS with Smart TV function that expands its capabilities. The user, having connected to the Internet, can browse the web, use different applications.

Hyundai H-LED40F401WS2 - for those who are not chasing fashion and do not see the point in using the functionality of the Google Android platform.
