Our Verdict
Passable TV for a mixed usage. The Samsung J5200's picture quality is about average, but it's only capable of a 1080p resolution. It's picture quality also degrades when viewed from an angle.
- Great picture quality for movies, due to great blacks
- Noticeable motion blur.
- Loss of colors at an angle.
Medicore movie performance. The J5200 produces a decent contrast which helps it have deep blacks, but it lacks a 4k resolution to take advantage of modern content.
Average choice for watching TV shows in a bright environment. While it has a good anti-reflection finish, it cannot get bright enough to stop reflections from being overwhelming in a room with lots of windows.
Passable TV for watching sports. the J5200's screen is quite uniform, but it's narrow viewing angle and mediocre motion performance make it less suitable for this usage.
Decent choice for gaming. The J5200 has a decently low input lag which helps it stay responsive. Unfortunately, its motion performance leaves a lot to be desired.
HDR is not supported.
HDR is not supported.
Poor TV for use as a PC monitor. The J5200 does not support a 4k resolution which is important for using a PC monitor at a larger size. It also has a lot of motion blur which reduces the readability of moving text by a lot.

We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
