Samsung UN55C7000 The Top 3D LED HDTV With Samsung Real 240 Hz Technology

Could you’ve had your brain within the sand within the last couple of months – you will be certainly aware that 3D is a new “it” idea anywhere of end user electronics and entertainment. Both manufacturers and Hollywood have begun falling all over themselves in an attempt to bring 3D into your life in a big way. At the same time it truly is still first, the 3D assault in theaters seems to be operating, thanks partially (or possibly exclusively) to James Cameron’s Avatar. Even so, 3D in your home will not be as fluid a move, although all signs indicate a full frontal attack on your senses, including your wallets, that is coming…soon.

On the forefront of the 3D movement is Samsung with their focused lineup of 3D enabled HDTVs and peripherals. One such model, the 55-inch UN55C7000 3D LED HDTV reviewed here, The Samsung UN55C7000 is an LED lit LCD HDTV with a 1080p native resolution for its 55-inch diagonal screen. However a true 3D display, the UN55C7000 will not look any diverse from many of Samsung’s current crop of LED or LCD based HDTVs.

The UN55C7000 is super thin, measuring in at only an inch deep without its included table stand. The UN55C7000’s total dimensions are 30 inches tall (without the stand) by 50 and a half inches wide and it weighs in at just under 50 pounds. The reason the UN55C7000 is so thin is due in part to its use of LED backlighting over florescent, which is what was used in earlier or cheaper LCD displays. The UN55C7000 is not a fully backlit display; instead it utilizes LED edge lighting whereby the LED lights are positioned alongside of the display, versus being arranged in a full matrix-like panel. Previous edge lit designs, especially those from Samsung, didn’t float my boat. However, all things consumer electronics get better with time and it appears with the UN55C7000 that edge lighting isn’t going to be its Achilles heel. I should also point out that the 7000 series displays don’t employ local dimming or Samsung’s own Precision Dimming; instead the LEDs inside operate at a constant or fixed level. If you’re looking for an LED HDTV with local dimming or the equivalent, you’ll want to step up in the Samsung product line to their 8000 series. Besides cutting down on the display’s overall girth, LED backlighting also helps cut down on the display’s power consumption, saving you money, over time, on the meter. The UN55C7000 is also Energy Star Compliant.

In terms of connectivity the UN55C7000 has a host of options and features. The UN55C7000 has four HDMI 1.4 inputs located on the display’s back panel, mounted sideways near the left side (when looking at the front of the UN55C7000) of the display itself. The UN55C7000 also has inputs for element movie, a PC as well as RF for its built-in DTV tuner. The UN55C7000 has two USB 2.0 inputs capable of displaying or playing back video, music and photo files. Along with its USB connectivity the Samsung UN55C7000 can also connect to your home network wirelessly or via its Ethernet port, allowing you to stream content from your PC to the UN55C7000 as well as take advantage of Samsung’s Web-Connected Apps. The UN55C7000 can also stream Blockbuster, Netflix and/or YouTube movies.
