I had the Samsung UN40B7000 for about 3 weeks and loved the picture quality and the features it has. Coming from a 27 to a 32 and now a 40″ I love the large screen size. I would have thought the large the screen the more defects I would notice on the screen but that did not affect me at all. Now I can’t see my shelf viewing a smaller screen at all anymore. This past week I noticed that the prices on the UN40B7000 and UN467000 dropped dramatically at my local Fry’s $1499 for the 40″ and $1699 for the 46″ and both included the Samsung BD P1600 Blue Ray Player worth $225 for FREE. I had no choice but return my 40″ and replaced it with the 46″ for the same price I paid for the 40″ and received the Free Blue-Ray player. Now that I have hooked up the UN467000 I love the bigger screen and happy I upgraded to the 46″ for the same price.
Picture:
I didn’t notice any flashing or black corners on both of my Samsung 7000, only clear high resolution picture with vivid colors. Compared to the Sony XBR9 the Samsung LED picture quality is bright and the color pops out. HD picture is awesome and the SD is okay for an LCD much better than my old 32″ and my brothers XBR4. With 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 120hz Auto Motion that you can be turn off or adjusted this TV has an it all.
Blue Ray movies is outstanding, best picture I’ve ever seen in any TV set and the standard DVD plays great as well not Blue Ray quality but it’s a step up from my old TV. But I don’t know if it’s because of my new 46″ 7000 or the new Samsung BD P1600 that Fry’s throw in that make the picture much better or both.
Gaming:
I have the TV set up with the PS3 and it’s great. The picture quality is amazing no blur affects at all in fast movement.
Sound:
Speakers could be better but what do we expect for a TV that is 1.2″ thin. I’ve purchased the Sony HTC T100 sound bar to get better sound. I must say the HTC T100 has a great sound and meets my expectation and needs (See my review).
Features:
I haven’t yet connected the TV to the internet to see how the widget or DNLA works but I have used the USB connection to plug in my flash drive to view movies, picutres and listen to music. I’ve even connected my I-pod to it and it plays my music, video and even charges the battery.
Overall this TV is the best LCD TV I’ve seen and I’ve been looking for months. The prices are steadily going down and it’s much more affordable to go larger now than it was a month ago and according to what I’ve read the prices might go even lower when it gets closer to the Super Bowl and of course Black Friday. I highly recommend this TV to any one who is looking for a thin set that doesn’t compromises picture quality, features or price.
