With HDTVs fast becoming the standard, TV makers go to greater lengths to justify higher price tags. To date, no other TV makers have matched Samsung’s intensity. The company is the only one thus far to announce a full line-up of edge-lit LED-based LCDs, that is priced at a more affordable range but offering the most advance technology within the most stunning outlook available–at least until OLED comes along. What is written here is only a brief review of the Samsung HDTVs and do check out the full HDTV reviews for the models that have caught your eyes. The two Samsung models in this review are the thinnest production TVs ever made, measuring a mere 1.2 inches wide. It is achievable to place the TVs such that they hang just 2 inches away from the wall with Samsung’s elective wall mount. The energy efficiency of these two models is also unquestionable when both are LED-based.
The Samsung UN55B7000 offers good connectivity, as long as your AV system doesn’t have a lot of analog components. The focus, placed vertically down the back of the TV, are the HDMI inputs. In addition, there are two USB inputs, a PC input, and a single component-video input which is adept to be altered to accept composite video as well. An RF input for antenna or cable, an optical digital audio jack, and the Ethernet port complete the picture. Compared with the Samsung UN55B8000, the Samsung UN55B7000 loses out in its refresh rate of 120 Hz to its bigger brother’s refresh rate of 240 Hz. Even so, the 120 Hz refresh rate of the Samsung UN55B7000 is two times as fast as the bulk of other LCD TVs and allows the TV to ease or abolish motion blur that may occur while watching fast motion videos. The colour performance from the Samsung UN55B7000 is also brilliant, and there’s an abundance of picture controls that help get things perfect. The flaw, which prevents viewers sitting far to the side from getting the best picture, is the poor off-angle viewing of the otherwise perfect HDTV. However, the Samsung UN55B7000 have Yahoo Widgets, built-in content, and the capability to stream music, photos, and video from a networked PC.
Unlike its older brother, the Samsung UB55B6000 is not set with local dimming but is nonetheless able to generate respectable contrast ratios. Keeping the digital buff on cloud nine is the 4 HDMI inputs that allows you to maintain the Xbox, cable box and other digital gear connected at the same time without having to unplug any to plug in another. The Samsung UB55B6000 boasts the InfoLink, which is a considerably plain portal to Internet-updated information when compared to Yahoo Widgets, and limited to only screening news, custom stocks, and local weather information. Similar to the Samsung UB55B7000, the Samsung UB55B6000 is fixed with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and dejudder processing with boasts more adjustments than any other display of such so far. Expected from a 1080p TV, the Screen Fit modes ,in the midst of a few other modes, enables the Samsung UB556000 to balance 1080i and 1080p sources neatly into the panel’s pixels without any overscans.
