complete review in case your on the fence. March 18, 2010 Jeffrey Withhart (baltimore maryland) Ok i researched and price shoped. Compared eveything out there for under $10,000. The un55b7000 is by far the best thing out there. Is it perfect? No. But it tries really hard.
First of the negatives.
1- sound
Sound is the most commented on negative aspect of the tv. The speakers on there own are adequate but i think the problem most people have is the picture is so amazing they expect the sound to match. I found the sound to be decent and loud enough to hear fine and im in a room thats 20' x 25'. The sound is mostly clear, by this i mean its the subtle things that get muddled up. On a 1 - 10 on sound alone if i was blindfolded and asked to rate the sound of a typical show i would give this set a 7 or 7.5. So its not gunna wow ya but your not gunna be so unhappy you want to take the tv back.
2- The menus
The menus are ok but are also not the most user friendly. My wife thinks it too complicated but i have no trouble navigating it. The only source you can directly switch to is the TV. But c'mon who shells out this kinda money for a tv and doesnt have cable or satalite? so if you switch to tv you have to push the source button 3 or 4 times to get back to hdmi. Again not the end of the world but hey. I love the backlite on the remote.
3- The 120hZ automotion plus
I agree with most of the negatives saying that when its on it looks kinda home movie or jumpy like a scene from lost lol. But this can easily be turned off or in my case turned down to a minimal setting.
Now the good
1 picture.
Isnt this why we bought this tv in the first place. Ive had this tv about a week now and i feel like i have a great picture without usung one of those home calibration discs or worse yet paying some man to come set my tv the way he thinks it shoudl be. Some people complained about the bright corners or uneven backlighting. I will say that out of the box i did have the same issues. But just by lowering the led backlighting(not the tv brightness mind you) i was able to fix both of these. Now the blacks are so black their like black ink and the whites are crisp. My wife was against the purchase until she saw the picture. Shes a fan now for sure.
2- inputs
Lots of em. And for me i have a sony receiver and it has 7 hd inputs that all run to the tv on one hdmi so all those extra hdmi ins are just resting for now.
3- the thinness.
Is that even a word? well if not it will be soon. I have the samsung slim mount picture frame deal. Its so close to the wall it looks like its built into the wall.
LED - The future of TV March 15, 2010 Dave T (Lititz, PA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The future of TV is LED, sharper colors, deeper blacks and almost a 3d looking picture in some cases and 40% less energy usage. Now is this the best LED tv, no. Most people will say it will be the Samsung 9000 series tv 55 inch coming soon at $7000.00. The new Samsung UN55C7000 might be a tiny bit better but again you will pay a lot more at $3000.00. Right now this TV at $1800.00 is a steal with free shipping and no sales tax and even 3% less if you have an amazon credit card. This TV was $3000.00 a year ago like the new UN55C7000 today, and if you wait another year I'm sure the UN55C7000 will be $1800.00 too. But the wait never ends, next year will always be a better tv at a better price. The only problem I came across with this tv was the auto dimming as others have said. It doesn't happen often, and most of the time the auto dimming works, making night scenes darker and more realistic, so I would not recommend turning it off. But you may see the picutre go a little darker all of a sudden in dark scenes. Like I said it doesn't happen often and watching Star Trek the other night with dark scenes I didn't notice it. I would recommend watching this tv at a store with dark scenes before you buy it just to make sure you are happy with it. Overall this is a great TV and I would buy it again.
Happy with the 7000, but.... March 12, 2010 Robert J. Dengler (pa) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
After less than twenty four hours with my new Samsung 7000 LED 55in TV, it is a great tv except one thing, I wish it was twice as big! If you stacked one on top of the other, that is the size I wish it was.
I am just a normal tv watcher with a wife and two little kids. All the add ons I probably won't use. I have it in a family room in between two windows. I wish the tv was the size of a picture window, so size has it over features as far as I go. And I can see now why my friend who is into DLP's says the bigger the screen, the better.
That aside, the 7000 looks great, the TOC is nice and with the little kids, it's nice not having buttons exposed for them to play with.
I have mine set on the settings out of the box except I switched my picture to Natural instead of Standard. We seem to like watching the tv with a light on in the room at night. I didn't notice any reflexion.
I use the universal remote from Comcast and I like just having one remote.
The four star rating is only because I wish it were bigger for where I have mine and the lack of HD channels. But that's not the tv's fault....
Prepare to be blown away... March 10, 2010 Christopher Smith This TV is incredible! I researched LED tv's for a while before deciding this was "The One" This Tv will change your level of enjoyment while watc hing your favorite Movies/Shows! IT'S THAT GOOD! I cannot say enough about the picture quality. Everyone who has come over and looked at it has been speechless at it's vibrant colors, and the rich beauty of it's display. If you need further proof go to Best Buy and see this TV on display, then prepare to see it change the dynamic of you living room with it's sleek stylish modern look and feel.
I have an LCD and it looks great...but this TV looks INCREDIBLE!If you are on thev fence...don't be. This is the one you've been looking for!
Absolutely Beautiful Picture, Minor Drawbacks March 10, 2010 Benjamin A. Minshall (Michigan, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The most important feature of this TV is the absolutely incredible picture quality. This cannot be overstated; the picture quality is fantastic. Based on picture quality this is a 5 star product, however the following keep it from being an overall 5 star TV:
1) The built-in sound is pretty lousy, but I bet most people will use it with an external receiver.
2) The menu system is clumsy and even makes something as simple as switching inputs a pain in the butt requiring multiple button presses. Picture-in-picture requires navigation of several menus to turn on.
3) The Internet features are so slow and clumsy to use that they're basically worthless. I can open my laptop and complete my Internet activities in less time than it takes the widgets to load on the TV.
4) Limited inputs. The component input and the composite input share the same RCA plugs, so only one or the other can be used at the same time. No s-video.
Overall these are minor distractions from what is really a great TV.
