Customer Reviews

Unbelievably Stunning
I have been researching televisions for quite some time now and was originally going to go with a Samsung 4 months ago but when I found the 2009 line would be coming out I figured I'd wait and boy am I glad I did. When I first saw some reviews on Cnet I was a bit concerned, even though they listed the 40B7000 as their top choice they stated some cons regarding the viewing angle and some issues they noticed with the LED's being visible sometimes. This made me decide that I would view the screens in person as opposed to just purchasing on Amazon as I intended to do and really didn't think I needed to see in person. Never the less I'm glad I did because any fear I had was immediately irrelevant once I saw the set in person. Needless to say I saw none of the issues mentioned on Cnet and the set blew me away that I couldn't wait any longer and purchased right then! I have had the set for about 2 weeks and I kick myself every time I turn it on, everything looks just AMAZING!! It is the most beautiful TV I have ever seen. My mother and 2 of my friends who were in the market for TV's came over and all of them are purchasing the same set. I plan on getting the 55'' when I move into my new house! There are so many features I haven't even been able to figure out yet. You will not be disappointed with this product. Thank you Samsung!!!

Samsung LED B7000 beat the Sony XBR9 in picture quality
After having a Sony 27" CRT and then moving up to a Samsung LCD LN S3296D in my bedroom I was ready to move up to a 40" inch TV. The Samsung S3296D picture was amazing but I wanted a bigger size and 1080p picture quality vs the 720p in the Samsung. My dad currently owns a Sony 46XBR2 and my brother a Sony 40XBR4 and every time I look at their TV's I couldn't believe how better their TV's were compared to my Samsung but yes their TV's are 1080p vs my 720p but the features and the look was better. So I decided even before I began my search that I wanted the most current Sony XBR TV. After some research I fell in love with the new Sony 40XBR9 in paper the TV is amazing 1080p, 240hz motionfow, Bravia 3 Engine video processor, 24p True Cinema and 100,000:1 dynamic ratio, much better than my current Samsung S3296D. When I walked in to my local Best buy I looked at other LCD TV's and none could match what the Sony XBR9 had until I came across the Samsung LED 46B7100. The Sony and the Samsung was right next to each other and the picture quality of the Samsung was much better the color just popped out and it almost matched all of Sony's features and inlcuded Edge LED, 4ms response time, 3,000,000:1 dynamic ratio and yes it is only 120hz vs the 240hz on the Sony but you couldn't tell at all on fast pace scenes. BB didn't carry a 40" B7100 but I found out that Samsung made a 40B7000 that were sold by Amazon same features but the only difference was the bezel color. The price on the Samsung was less than the Sony so it didn't make sense why I would pay more for a picture that wasn't as good, so I decided to pick up the Samsung over the Sony even though I had my mind already set but sometimes you have to go with what looks better to you in person vs what is written on paper. Now both my dad and brother look at my TV and can't believe how far LCD TV's have gone in just the last 2-3 years. The Samsung LED TV is only 1.2" thin and can connect to the internet via Samsung Linkstick and the picture quality beats any LCD TV's out at this time, I'm sure in the next few months something newer and better will come out but for now, no LCDTV can match the features and picture quality the Samsung LED B6000,B7000, B8000 in my opinion.

One last thing I also purchased the Samsung 2.1 HT-WS1R sound bar as the speakers on Samsung LED aren't that good but once I connected the sound bar it didn't make a difference actually the standard speakers on the TV was louder than the sound bar and the wireless sub interfered with my wireless Wifi network so I retuned it and purchased the Sony HTC C100 and couldn't be happier. It meets my requirements and the sound is much clearer and louder than the Samsun. The Samsung looks better but in my opinion we should always go performance over looks and the Sony out performed the Samsung in the sound bar category.

Worth Every Penny
I've been researching TV's for the past couple of months now. I own a samsung 26 inch hd tv thats 1080i that I got two years ago and wanted to get an upgrade. After reading numerous reviews I decided to go with an Led backlit TV over a plasma since I play a lot of video games and was worried about the burn in. I like the previous reviewer read the cnet review and was a little worried about the off-angle viewing and the variable backlighting with this most recent model of tvs.
I've had this tv for about a week now and absolutely love it. The TV itself looks amazing. The stand is both sturdy and stunning. The picture quality is absolutely breathtaking. I have little to no problem with the glare. The viewing angle is extremely wide I have yet to encounter a problem and the lighting is very uniform. This tv produces the most true blacks I've seen on any TV. Images really pop out on this set. I can definitely tell the difference between this tv set and my old one.
Another great feature is all the additional content the TV has. It has recipes with step by step pictures, teaches you how to stretch massage etc. I can't say enough about this tv. I highly recommend this tv especially if you own a PS3 and or blu-ray player.
