Samsung UN46B7000 46" LED HDTV 46-inch 120Hz 1080p LED HD Television

This television has an amazing picture and does not heat up like a plasma screen. Viewing is excellent from all angles; sports are crystal clear with absolutely no motion blur. Be sure to visit some of the tech websites for a list of the most effective picture settings.

I've only had the TV for four months, but there have been no problems with it. It is currently wall-mounted and attached to a home theater system with a blu-ray player and a Wii. I'm thoroughly satisified with all aspects of its performance.

I absolutely love my new TV, and I love that Amazon was so easy to order from and the delivery was timely. The picture on this TV is incredible. I have it hooked up to a receiver and speakers, so I can't speak to the sound. Due to having it hooked up to a receiver, I have found that because my receiver is older and not a 1080 receiver, I'm not getting full 1080p reception. I plan to replace my receiver in the future to go with my Blue Ray player and new TV and I'm sure I'll be delighted.

I bought this TV about a week ago and have been fairly impressed. There is a lot to like about this TV, but there are also a few problems.

The Good:
The picture is great; very clear with both HDTV and BluRays. The black levels and contrast are very good. The sound isn't terrible (with some tweaking), but it isn't anything to write home about. The settings are very intuitive and easy to work with.

The Bad:
I've already mentioned the sound, but it bears repeating: the sounds levels are just okay. You will not be able to turn the bass up to what I would call an acceptable level without making the speaker housings vibrate which can be very annoying. This wasn't a deal killer for me as I paired it with a surround sound system, so I barely hear the TV speakers.

This TV is terrible for gaming. I should qualify this: This TV is terrible for playing music type games. There is considerable input lag using a Wii, even with the game mode turned on. I attempted to play Guitar Hero: World Tour after connecting the Wii to the TV using the new composite cables I had to buy (more on that in a minute), and found it to be unplayable. Because there is considerable lag, the strum does not register until just after the notes have passed, resulting in a missed note... many, many missed notes actually. This is not acceptable for me.

There are not enough inputs for gaming devices and there are only inputs for HD devices. While this may seem like a stupid complaint, remember that neither the Wii, nor the PS2 (outdated I know, but bare with me) have an HDMI output. I had to go buy HD Composite cables for both and a switch box because there is only 1 composite input on the TV. These cables aren't really cheap, so that was another $60 I had to shell out. Also, there are only 4 HDMI inputs total, so if you have multiple gaming systems, a BluRay player and a cable/satellite box, you may need to buy an HDMI switch to get everything to work.

The Ugly:
You will need to take quite a bit of time to calibrate this TV to make everything look the way it should. Here is a quick tip though: if you don't want everything you watch to have the quality of a commercial, turn off the 120Hz options (located in Picture Options > Auto Motion Plus 120Hz). Some people may like the ultra crisp effect that this adds to movies and programs, but I just feel it makes everything look very plastic and without depth.

All-in-all, this is a decent TV, that could will be great for some... but terrible for others. If nothing I listed will bother you, this is a great TV for the money and will not disappoint.

I am not a tech freak or a high def guy, I just like the picture. After 2 weeks, I will still see certain footage of a football game or even in a hdtv tv show and think to myself, 'that's pretty cool'.

Great TV. The picture is about as good as you can expect from an LED LCD TV. The delivery was expertly done as was the connection to cable. It took a total of 15 minutes from the time the delivery truck parked in my driveway until I was looking at HD television.

OMG! I love this TV. If it had a vagina and could make coffee, I would marry it! lmao. It is the best TV I ever owned.JMC

I purchased this TV one month ago. It was exceptionally easy to hook-up. I hung it over my fireplace using the Samsung Ultra-Slim Wall Mount. Its picture is absolutely great and it has many features that I have begun to use, but cannot yet rate. The only negative is the speakers blow downward, making it slightly more difficult to hear; not a significant issue though. It really is like a piece of artwork hanging on the wall, especially when its built-in artwork and scenery is displayed.

This TV is great and the picture is phenomenal, it blows away the older LCD sets that pixelated during fast motion. That was my main reason for waiting until LCD technology resolved that issue and this TV does exactly that. I've owned this set for over 4 months and the picture still amazes me and my friends.

A big weakness of the set is the sound out of the internal speakers. It is very poor and plugging into a sound system is a must, preferably with a optical cable.

The "fake" or soap opera look on DVDs and HD shows takes a while to get use to and is really not a flaw of the TV. It is actually displaying a picture that you are not use to seeing because the movement is crystal clear and fluid, almost like looking through a glass window and watching a live show. After watching a regular standard TV for many years, your eyes have been trained to see blurry motion (interlaced images) and your brain has been trained to compensate for it. It took about 2 months for things to look "normal" again. Also, things tend to look 3D, you can definitely see perspective and tell what objects in a scene are placed in front or behind the characters, which gives old movies and shows a new look. Watching Cable TV seems normal "flat" with HDMI cables, probably because they downgrade the signal before it reaches the house. The local over-the-air HD stations come in crystal clear and better than the corresponding HD channels on the cable box.

To take full advantage of this set, I would recommend using just HDMI cable connections, and a receiver and Blu-ray player that "upscales" the video content. My extensive DVD collection plays very clear on this set and most movies look 3D. I don't know how they do it or if the 35mm film had much more detail than was able to be shown on CRT sets, but the video quality from a regular DVD is amazing. Try watching The Shining or any James Bond DVD, especially during the outdoor scenes, looks like it was shot yesterday with a digital camera. I recently bought a Blu-ray/DVD combo movie and I couldn't tell the difference in the quality between the two, so I think it is just a bunch of marketing hype or very good video upscaling by the TV and BD player (but you need to use HDMI cables for the upscaling feature to work on most components). I just like the fact that DVDs are so cheap as a result of BD.

An extra that this TV offers is Internet connectivity. It has an internet jack to hard wire it into your network. I connected mine wirelessly after buying Samsung's wireless usb adapter for about $60 online. You have to use Samsungs wireless usb adapter because non Samsung ones will not work on it. It took a while for it to see my home network and I had to go down to a 64-bit security key but it finally joined the network (also no special characters or spaces in your Network Name). Right off you have Yahoo widgets and one of them being YouTube and others that you can download. Yes, you can search and play YouTube content right on the TV and it upscales the video so it looks better than what it does on my 23" computer monitor. The bad thing is that you have to use the remote to type in on the onscreen keyboard which it often times overshoots the desired letters and is more frustrating than useful. A wireless keyboard would be a nice accessory. Other widgets have weather, sports, stock prices, etc. but no web browsing capability. The widgets take a while to load and I don't really use them. The TV also has built in photos and music and games that you can download, while nice you are confined to using the remote for navigating and as a controller. I didn't use these features past the 3rd week of owning the set. Also, the TV will download any available updates for itself if it is hooked up to your network, which is a nice feature, usually does this late at night.

A network feature I do use often is streaming my videos, pictures and mp3s off my upstairs computer onto the TV. You don't need to copy your files over to a USB drive and put it into the TV, however there is an extra USB port to do this if you want, and the TV does have some internal memory. The set has 2 USB ports. To enable streaming off a PC in your home network, all you do is install the software from the CD included with the TV onto any PC connected to your home network and you select what folders and files to share within a windows explorer type interface. Hit apply and a few minutes later, the TV will detect your computer name (you can do this on multiple computers on your network) and these files will stream right to the TV. It does any divx, avi, mp3 and jpg photos. It works really well, however fast forward and rewind on video/movie files sometimes works but not often. Pause and play and exit is what you pretty much get. This TV does everything I wanted or envisioned at the time I purchased it. Definitely a great TV.
