Best 3D TV, July 17, 2010
By Baljinder S. Badyal (Fremont, CA US)

This review is from: Samsung UN55C7000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
Sorry, I did not buy this TV from Amazon, could not wait after seeing various demos. What can I say about the TV, best purchase ever made, was able to hook it up in less then 5 minutes. Has lots of additional features, my favorites are the Internet related, specifically, Netflix, been playing lots of movies using wi-fi dongle, no problem what so ever, no drops, lagging, delay nothing. Picture quality is awesome, I could watch hi-def programming all day along. All share (DLNA) option is great, multi tasking is not available, i.e. can not view pictures and listen to music on the remote PC same time, hope I am right on this one. It would have been nice if you could hear music in the background while viewing pictures etc.. Agree with some of the other customers thou, on the remote control you can not feel the keys, it's pretty uniform, you actually, have to look at keys when pressing but, it's kinda cool remote, looks pretty sexy, reminded me of some of the Apple products. Allover, if I were to buy a TV again, Samsung would be first choice, thank you Samsung for makaing a great TV. It's winner.

This set ROCKS!, July 16, 2010

I bought this almost as soon as it was available (ok, I waited a couple of weeks after it was released until the first package deal with glasses, 3-D DVD Player, and the stupid Monsters 3d movie), wanted to use it a while a while before I published a review.

I've had it about 4 months now, so it's time.

This television ROCKS!!! The picture is amazing, *everybody* who sees it is instantly jealous. Then I tell the to look from the side, and they are again blown away...it's 1" thick! I mounted it on a power-tilt wall mount...as soon as it comes on, it tilts down form the wall, and back up when I turn it off. They sell the mounts on Amazon, but I was in too much a hurry and got it from a local big-box store (for more $). Definitely a great accessory for this set, and at 50 lbs you can use mounts meant for smaller sets (as long as the VESA is right).

There are a bunch of apps (which seem to want to "update" precisely when I try to show off this feature to my friends...not a great selling point, but if I used the apps more often it wouldn't happen exactly when I was trying to show off!), that are neat and some are quite useful. It was easy to match my set to the different services. ***Computer required to look up website and enter your tv's unique number before using app***. Netflix streaming rental app is really nice (although the movies for streaming aren't the newest ones) and I ditched my Blockbuster mail-in service immediately after realizing their app only *sells* movies, no rentals, and the Netflix combo mail and streaming was cheaper anyhow. The YouTube app is great, have watched lots of those in full screen mode. Weather, traffic, and other stuff too. I tend to just watch TV on the set most of the time.

I bought the 3-D DVD player, too, which seems to have the same apps...so there's too much redundancy for my taste there. Also, as soon as I turn on the DVD player, it takes over the TV immediately...that blows, sometimes I want to give the DVD a chance to warm up and get staged while I'm watching the end of something else. No *real* problem, just grab the remote and switch inputs again...but annoying for sure.

The sound leaves something to be desired...but what can you expect from a 1" thick television??? I feed the output to a Samsung soundbar with wireless subwoofer and all is well!

Controls are pretty intuitive, all made sense. The remote is really neat and shiny silver, and there are strange (color a/b/c/d) buttons I have no idea what they do...but I could look it up if I wanted. They may be macros or something. The DVD player's remote is similar, and can control some of the TV functionality, too...which I like.

3D is...well...there, and still under development by broadcasters. I haven't done much with that, as there's not that much to do. I didn't realize some World Cup games were broadcast in 3D, or I would have tried to stand that horrible buzzing sound form those obnoxious horns to see how it looked. "Converting" regular signals to 3-D seems silly, but every now and then you can see an effect. A basketball game did look 3D-ish, for sure. The glasses are a bit less comfortable than I'd like, so I prefer to watch in 2D without them on. As channels are added with 3D, I may change my mind. The "kids" (adult kids) like messing with that stuff.

There is something about the picture...it's so High Def, so "real", that for a while everything looked like a soap opera. It's hard to describe what I'm trying to say. Everything seemed to have that "soap opera feel" to it, some stuff was kind of uncomfortable to watch for some reason. We got over it, I guess, because we don't notice it anymore...but visitors mention how "real" things look and I think they are noticing the same thing we used to see.

Very happy with decision to buy this from Amazon. Unit arrived exactly when it was supposed, to. The delivery guys called in advance, and were very polite. If I wasn't going to wall-mount it, they would have taken it out of the box and set it up for me. I bought the 4 year Square Trade warranty from Amazon, too...repairing this thing only once would have to cost WAY more than the price of the warranty!

Very satisfied, very happy customer.

THE TV IS AWESOME! YOU DO NEED TO HOOK UP A SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM TO GET THE QUALITY OF SOUND.

NO BLEEDING LIGHT ISSUE WITH THIS TV! I don't understand what the deal is with those reviews but I have not seen any of these issues. I haven't seen any clouds and there is zero light leaking from the edges. Yes local dimming sets might deliver better performance, but I doubt it is worth the extra money. I have lived with a 42 inch Samsung Plasma 720p for the last few years, and a Sharp LED in the bedroom and this TV is light years ahead of them. Replacing an old 55 inch Philips LCOS rear projection TV so obviously this thing kicks its tired butt. TV looks great and was very simple to set up. Colors are spectacular. Black levels are fantastic, and I love the 240hz Clear Motion feature. Now if you're a serious film buff and videophile it might annoy you, but I think it looks great. I keep it on for movies and it gives a very 'super-real' effect which I love. If you turn it off, you will definitely notice some judder but not too bad.

So far my only complaint is that the optical audio output provides at best 2ch stereo. I have a two year old Onkyo receiver that I use which does have HDMI, but does not support the return audio channel (HDMI 1.4). So if you want to watch any Internet video on this TV and get the sound back to the amp, you will be limited to 2ch Stereo as there is no HDMI output from this TV. Not a problem with Netflix (yet). My amp then has to change sources and it is very annoying to me, but I'm not willing to upgrade the amp just yet, its only 1 year old. That being said, Samsung themselves say that receivers that do not support 1.4HDMI will not render the 3D effect. I can definitively say that that is not the case with mine. Running the Blu-ray player through the receiver and 3D is working fine. Internet apps work fine, though would be nice to have a flip out keyboard on the remote to enter text when using them. Pecking out letters with the number pad is just dreadful.

awsome 3d tv, June 18, 2010
By Katy (Sacramento)
This review is from: Samsung UN55C7000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
i have seen Panasonic plasma 3d tv and samsungs,they are really close. i bought the samsungs because its bigger,works better in a well lit room,better colurs and brightness,dosnt heat up the whole room,no burn it,dosnt weigh a ton.both tvs are great in 3d but i liked samsungs a little better.

Clouding Issue:there was a few time i notice some, but not that big of a deal,not sure what all the complaints is about.

cross talk:Panasonic and samsung had the same ghosting effect on the same scene,i spent 4 hrs over time comparing them both.but it only happens once in a while.I have heard on forums there where a samsung firmware up date the makes these issues less noticeable.

3d glasses: well i like samsungs better.

3d gaming:not sure yet have not tried it.

sound:not the best but better than last years model.

found the best deal online $2,249.00 total shipped no taxes.include tv 7000 series 55". free 2 pairs of 3d glasses and movie kit+samsungs 3d bluray player.what a steal!i cant be more happy with my purchase awesome tv.
