Consider The Samsung UE40B7000 - By: Andrew Emerson

The Samsung UE40B7000 Reviewed

If you are looking for a good television set, then the Samsung UE40B7000 is worth a look. It has consistently been given top ratings by reviewers and owners, and is one of the best of the mid range sets you can buy. It is contemporary in styling, and is done in a platinum black color. While the looks of the electronics are all on par with each other, this one features a clear stem to the stand, making it stand out slightly among everything else, and giving it a more unique look.

This is a next generation of LCD sets, where the back light is placed around the edges of the screen. Marketed as LED sets, they have designed these to make the set clearer and brighter. By doing this, the set is super slim, and only about 1 inch wide. One of the drawbacks top this is the brightness is not really all that noticeable, and those that own plasmas will notice it is roughly the same.

This 1080p HD TV does come with 4 HDMI slots, 2 USB ports and digital audio jacks. It also has Ethernet capabilities, Scart slots and has Free view already installed, so you can watch programs without extra equipment.

The set is helped with high action scenes with the Motion plus technology, which allows you to always see what is happening on the screen. The Mega Contrast gives a deep, rich black, but on very dark scenes, the edge back lights distort this somewhat, with the edges showing some of the brightness through it.

This is not to say the Samsung UE40B7000 is a bad set, it produces a clear picture with vivid and true colors. Brightness is only an issue if you watch it in bright light conditions. Even then, the picture can clearly be seen, but the dimness is noticeable especially under those conditions and is on par with plasma sets.

The extras this set has offer internet browsing and one of the best is the Yahoo widget. You can get updates on weather and sport, and this can make your set interactive, especially when you access other internet content. You can also connect it to a computer and use the set to watch content from there, and the USB ports allow you to add removable media for viewing as well.

The main problem is with the audio. This set is too thin to hold speakers that can give you a true sound experience, and you may find that you will need an external audio system to fully enjoy the cinematic scope of some movies. The sound is good for its limitations, but is slightly tinny sounding at high volumes.

The Samsung UE40B7000 does use less energy to run it. On average, it uses between 100 and 130 W of power, which is considerably less then competitors and this will definitely save you money running it. Over all the quality of the set is excellent from picture and value, and the few minor problems with dimness should be overlooked for all the great extras and additional features you get at this price point.
