Samsung LED TV Review

Posted: June 16, 2009

We've got the perfect Father's Day gift with the new Samsung Series 7 LED TV. Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn take a look at an LED Television, which is only 1.2" thick.

What You Need to Know

This is the thinnest TV we've ever reviewed at only 1.2" deep
All of the inputs are side-mounted, so you can wall-mount it
This is extremely unique and makes the design that much more practical
Samsung has added a customizing mode where you can adjust the amount of blur or judder reduction, so it won't be as jarring to the eyes
Of course, the more you turn it up, the more you get artifacting around the edges of moving objects
However, Samsung is still the best at this video processing when compared to other 120 htz. televisions
The set also has a 3,000,000: 1 contrast ratio
These are some of the brightest and most vibrant colors ever on AOTS
We could see reflections and details never before seen in previous viewings, because the images were so clear
The only weird thing was that the LEDs along the edges of the screen would change according to how bright the image was and make blacks and whites bleed into each other for a split second; it's not that noticeable, but it's there

Price

$3,000

Sounds great and all but seriously, maybe Samsung didnt notice that America is kinda having some economic trouble lately? I mean, I LOVE TV/Movies/Games and I want the best quality but 3'000$ is just too much.

Yeah its got fantastic picture quality but can we watch cable on it because all I hear is it can be only has usb ports and HDMI port. Who is going to be dumb enough to buy a tv which can't display cable or any television programs.

Picked up the 55" 7100 from Best Buy last weekend and it is amazing. The 7100 is only sold at Best Buy and the only difference between it and the 7000 is that it has a grey bezel instead of red, which is the one thing I didn't want. Overall an expensive, but completely worth it purchase. Halo 3, Infamous, COD:MW and every other game look incredible.
