I bought this tv for my bedroom just before Christmas I am very happy with it, it has all the latest apps like ITVX etc. I did connect the tv myself took me about an hour quite easy going even for me. The sound quality as far as I am concerned are pretty decent I can't have the too Loud in my bedroom I live in a flat and have neighbours upstairs. Thank you for your review. I would recommend purchasing this tv.
Bought it for new years and I got to say it is amazing it supports my ps5 just like I wanted honesty I wanted something else but ot wasn't in stock at all not even ordering ot was available so I looked for another one and I found it and tbh it was like I struck gold although it was a little bit more expensive but it was worth every penny I wish I knew about it before
Go into setting, sound mode, turn on optimize. That is a much better sound, and higher volume.? Option Menu, scroll left to setting, in settings choose sound mode and then optimize.
I have to comment that this is one of the best reviews of a tv I've seen. You've included everything that normal reviews seem to miss out like the size of the TV and the space for the soundbar. Be great if you could mention tv mount type eg vesa 200x200. But this is specific to my needs haha. Thanks again for the great review
Absolutely great tv for the price. Many people confuse the 5300 with the 4300. The 1080p screen is much crisper than the 4300's 720 display. I use mine as a monitor for study and some RUclips and so on on the side. The reason this TV is so cheap is that its manufactured with a single board, a main/power combo. We see them in for service quite a lot, but my theory is that they are so popular around Ireland, some of them are bound to break down. Really excellent TV, single speaker is fine for what it is, the reviewer says the sound is poor, I don't know about poor. A soundbar might be overkill for a device this affordable.
We have ours as a second TV in a bedroom and having a nice pair of (cheap-ish) Edifier speakers sounds excellent & adds real punch to anything you watch. I can see how some people definitely won’t need this, but I always like some decent audio when I’m watching TV 🙂 And you’re dead right, the 1080p screen is so much better than the 720p you’ll find on most budget sets. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@Endpoint101your review of this one helped me decide to get it among other things, it seems pretty similar, i might do a review too, but feel free to ask
The only way to get audio out on this model is via the optical connection. It has Bluetooth, but it's only for connecting peripherals like a keyboard & mouse. If you use a FireTV stick with the TV, then that CAN give you audio over Bluetooth, which could be a way around the problem.
Hmm, no idea. It doesn’t tell me on my main Samsung TV either.. I can only tell on there due to the brightness of the menus being ramped up. It’s not bright enough on this model to tell.. but I’ll try to see next time I’m using it.
Couple questions about this TV, how are the black levels? Cause I have no idea whether this TV has a VA or an IPS panel, also how’s the motion? Is there interpolation? Is it 60fps all the time?
I’ve had a look and can’t see any info re the panel type. I’m not a pro reviewer so don’t have equipment to measure contrast/black levels, so can only go off what I can see. They’re not bad.. not as good as a flagship model, but acceptable for a cheap bedroom TV, which is really what this is. I’ve noticed how it dims down in some scenes, then back up in brighter scenes.. there’s a service menu where you can switch off that behaviour. Motion handling is good with all the enhancements turned off (not that there were many to alter). Hope this helps a bit.
@@Endpoint101 Despite this, I've compared it to my old LCD 32" Samsung 32d450 (2011) which is only 1366 x 768, using the same source (USB) and the same movie. Result is surprising: On the old TV I see no pixels. On this one, on exaactly the same scene, I see some big ones. Sound comparison is even more humiliating for the new TV. Returned it. Modern industry is in a downfall in my opinion.
I've read that it has HDR game mode. The reason I'm thinking of getting one of these. The reviewer keepsreferring toit as a budget TV. What's a better choice then at 32"? I'd pay more but struggling to find anything that reads up better for the size for gaming. It's only xbox one x and not the modern generation of series x etc
Hi. I can't comment on the HDR game mode, but don't expect much from a TV at this price range. At the time I struggled to find any half way decent 32" TVs that had a 1080p/full HD screen. You may want to check out gaming monitors and see if any of those are more suitable for your needs.
I'm afraid I don't know.. this is the only model I have. Tbh, the speakers in my Q9FN 56 inch aren't great either & I'd say you're nearly always better with dedicated speakers.
Nice review thankyou! I'm stuck between one of these and the new LG 32LQ63 which is also meant to be one of the best budget 32inches.......what do you think?
Ah, now that’s a new one that I don’t think was available when I bought mine. Looks a good alternative to the Samsung. I’d say either.. Pick the cheapest of the 2 😁
@@Endpoint101 thank you for the quick reply! It's difficult they are almost the same in cost.....the only thing I can see on the LG it has eARC and HDR+ not sure if this makes it the better choice 😫
It’s a tricky one.. there are no mainstream reviews for the LG that I can see, so that makes it hard to wholeheartedly recommend it right now. All I can say is either wait for the reviews, or pick a retailer with a good returns policy, so you can send it back if you don’t like it.
Yeah, I ended up going for these Edifier speakers, which have optical in & have good bass. I looked at soundbars and couldn't find one that suited my needs. amzn.to/3M1dTMn
I had a poke around the menus.. it has Bluetooth, but it only seems for connecting peripherals like a keyboard & mouse. There's no mention that it can route audio through Bluetooth. I connected mine over optical to some Edifier speakers to beef up the sound.

Hey.. the TV sits flush against the wall. With a mount added the mount adds space and the tv naturally protrudes out and it is 100% flat. Also there are two ways of getting audio out of the TV. 1. Optical out 2. ( Audio return channel) ARC port on HDMI 2 port. That port is multi-functional. Compatible audio device needed such as Sonos beam for example…
Ah good idea re the VESA mount. Hope you like the TV; we use it all the time in a second room, and it's good for the price, especially if you add some decent speakers if you want better sound/bass.
@@Endpoint101 I want to control it with smarthings on my phone with touching can you please help me and tell me if it work on it or not because I can't add it on my smarthings app
Hmm, I don't see any mention of SmartThings in the TV menus. I'll try pairing it with the app tomorrow. With it being a budget TV I'd be surprised if it had it, but you never know!
It's best to check the spec on the site you're looking to buy it from .. looks like there are newer models of the T5300 that are 120Hz, but you need to check to make sure that applies to the one you're looking at buying.
Does this tv have a game mode? I asked Argos this question and they aren't very clear with the answer they given me. Which just mentions there being a HDMI connection on the back.
There isn’t a game mode, no. I checked the menus and there’s nothing in there. Not sure whether it’s good for gaming.. anyone with a console able to comment?
Not good Leaves an after image and i can't turn it off If you're playing fps you will not see anything in low light environment or looking to dark color object the farther the object the more pixlated it looks
The is a maintenance menu where you might be able to turn off the adaptive brightness; I’ve yet to try that myself, but it might make it better for dark games/scenes.
I had to go and check 🙂 After getting the tv onto the same wifi as my ipad it appeared as a device I could connect to from airplay (on the ipad).. worked without issues for me.
Yes, I just bought this TV, and I use a PS4 Pro, the TV goes up to 1080p 60fps full hd. So yes this TV is a good match for the PS4. If you want 4k it’s better to wait for when you can get ps5
