The Samsung UE40B7000 - A Review

Build Quality: The most conspicuous feature of the UE40B7000 is that it could be described as the supermodel of TVs, being very thin. In reality it is around 29mm in depth.The black sheer finish to the border of the television looks wonderful, as does the thin transparent connection between the display and the stand. An added bonus point is that Samsung has included all of the key parts inside the set - various manufacturers have required viewers to find a site for a separate box for such items as the Freeview tuner.

Sound Quality: For the most part contemporary TVs have poor quality sound outputs and the UE40B7000 is no exception. The depth of the UE40B7000 is not adequate to add in good speakers so it would be a good idea to plug in a separate external audio system.

UE40B7000 Image: This is what sets apart the UE40B7000 from other comparable Televisions. It is atypical because it has done away with fluorescent tubes for backlighting and replaced them with LEDs. Not everyone realises that the UE40B7000 is still a LCD Television. it's just the backlighting that has altered. LEDs have the following advantages:

* An LED backlight system uses a system of grids to produce a more uniform backlight across the monitor.

* Only plasma TVs have created flawless blacks until now - this enables LCD ones to do so as well.

* Reaction times (when viewing a quickly shifting image) are faster.

* The colour palette is wider.

UE40B7000Connectivity: With 4 HDMIs, 2 USBs and a LAN connection, the UE40B7000 has all the connections you are likely to want for the anticipated future. With a separate, readily bought wireless USB stick, the UE40B7000 can access any home wireless network and also, any USB memory device can be used to allow it to play most multimedia file formats.

The Samsung UE40B7000 Remote: The principle remote control is a rather eccentrically created tool, a tad akin to a shoehorn. A little tricky to use at first, but OK after you are used to it. The second, smaller remote only allows volume power and channel changes.

Environmental considerations: In use the UE40B7000 uses merely as much power as a light bulb - a great deal less than nearly all modern televisions.

UE40B7000 Review - To Summarise: A great TV in what will undoubtedly be one of a fresh cohort of LED backlit TVs. Even with typical sound quality, the picture quality of the UE40B7000 is excellent.
