The Samsung UE40B7000 - One For Your Shortlist

Initial Impressions: The earliest thing you observe is how slender the UE40B7000 is. Just greater than an inch (and less than 3cm) in depth.Unlike some other manufacturers, Samsung has found room for everything inside the package - no need for a separate box. And the set looks lovely as well, with a sheer black frame and a see-through stem linking the support and the television itself.

Audio Quality: On the whole contemporary TVs have poor quality audio outputs and the UE40B7000 is no exception. The depth of the UE40B7000 is not ample to integrate good speakers so it would be a good proposal to plug in a separate external sound system.

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

* LEDs provide a more even light - they make use of a lattice system, rather than the usual fluorescent light source.

* As the LEDs are totally controllable and can simply be completely switched off, they can make flawless blacks.

* The image can respond faster.

* The range of colours that can be displayed is better.

UE40B7000Connectivity: The UE40B7000 has four HDMI ports, two USB, and a LAN (Local Area Network) one - future proof at present. The USB ports allow the playing of a wealth of multimedia file formats as well as to your wireless network (you will want a separate dongle.) And the LAN network connection permits straightforward access to files on your home network.

The Samsung UE40B7000 Remote: There are in fact two remotes. The principle one curves over at one end (planned to rest on an easy chair arm?). A bit surprising to grasp initially, but you get used to it. And a small remote is also provided - enabling power of and on, together with channel and volume changes.

Energy efficiency: LEDs make use of a great deal less power (between 100W and-0W) than the traditional fluorescent backlighting so the Television will be less expensive to own than its competitors.

UE40B7000 Review - To Summarise: A great TV in what will certainly be one of a fresh cohort of LED backlit TVs. Notwithstanding regular sound quality, the screen quality of the UE40B7000 is outstanding.
