Product Description

Product Description

The Samsung UN40B7000 Series of television build upon the success of Samsung's first and second generation LED HDTV models. Each using LEDs as their primary light source, the televisions all feature ultra-high contrast ratios as well as slim depths that allow for more artful designs, plus increased energy savings.

From the Manufacturer

(March 3, 2009)
Redefining the standards for viewing quality, energy-efficiency and home entertainment decor, the Samsung 7000 Series LED HDTV deliver unparalleled picture quality and enhanced connectivity while also helping you reduce your carbon footprint with the reduced power consumption of the LED screen. Using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as its primary light source--rather than traditional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL)--this cutting edge HDTV also offers the benefits of an ultra-high contrast ratio and a slim depth that allows for a more artful design.



Samsung's 7000 Series LED HDTV line-up boasts high dynamic contrast ratios, complements of the ground breaking LED light source. It also incorporates a number of innovative features to reduce the motion blur and image judder, which traditionally plague LCD HDTVs when displaying fast movement. The Auto Motion Plus frame interpolation technology utilizes a 120Hz refresh rate helps ensure crisp, easy viewing of sports, video games and movies.

The 7000 Series features Samsung's new InternetTV online content service. Developed with Yahoo!, InternetTV uses either a wired or wireless Ethernet connection to access content onscreen from Yahoo!, Flickr, YouTube and more with the push of a button. The widget-based interface and scrollbar run along the bottom of the screen for easy browsing of the latest programs and content. And this HDTV is accented by Samsung's TOC (Touch of Color), which offers a hint of a translucent color around the edges of the unit for a uniquely fashionable look.

Full HD 1080P


Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable.

Samsung’s 1080p panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder.

Compared to a traditional CCFL, LEDs produce darker blacks that appear endlessly deep to the eye. Whites also remain crisp and bright with vivid colors. The result is picture quality that measures up to the natural beauty of life. For instance, Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer Pro feature lets consumers enjoy a broader color palette. The Ultra Clear Panel further allows the preservation of every detail even in brightly-lit, imperfect viewing conditions. This is done by effectively allowing more light to pass through the screen and simultaneously reducing reflections from ambient light. And with an adaptive "Natural" mode, Samsung's LED HDTVs can combine the recognized brightness advantage of LCD displays with the cinema-like viewing experience of plasma displays by automatically optimizing picture settings.

>

The benefits of using LEDs include not only improved picture quality, but also reduced power consumption levels to easily meet the stringent new Energy Star v3.0 guidelines. The LED modules are mercury-free, which makes for cleaner manufacturing and safer recycling when compared with backlight technologies currently available. In the LED HDTV line, energy consumption is reduced by 40 percent versus traditional LCD HDTVs of a similar size. The LED HDTVs also include a power indicator menu, and an optimized energy savings mode. In addition, these TVs require less material to manufacture and are thinner, reducing packing material and consumer waste. The smaller packaging allows for more units to be shipped and less fuel to be consumed at a time which potentially reduces Samsung's carbon footprint.

Auto Motion Plus 120Hz


This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next.

Touch of Color


In 2008, Samsung created its unique Touch of Color (ToC) design, which uses dual-injection molding to coat a translucent, colored surface to achieve an attractive crystalline appearance. The latest evolution of Samsung's ToC design begins with a deep piano black bezel that fades into distinct chrome that finishes as light ruby highlights on the 7000 and 7000 Series LED HDTVs. The intensity of the color subtly changes depending upon the viewing angle, and further accentuates these TV's slim bezels.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)



You already know something about digital living. There’s the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you’ve copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven’t had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another?

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world’s leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand.

Think for a moment about all of the photos "locked away" on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive "PCexperience".

Or, say you recently downloaded your daughter’s birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV’s remote to call up the video on your TV. That's it.


With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

    5.0 out of 5 stars I was going to wait for the 9000 series... but am glad I didn't.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2010

    I'd been hearing about the upcoming Samsung 9000 series, with the wireless "media box" and the full localized LED backlighting (this one uses edge-based LED lighting). I kept waiting on it to come out, but it was delayed repeatedly, and I finally decided to go with this one (assuming that when the 9000 came out, I'd move this one to my bedroom).

    Well, let's just say I feel no desire to "upgrade" my living room TV now. This set is BEAUTIFUL... even though it's not "localized LED backlit" I've still got so much black-to-white contrast, compared to any set I've ever seen before, that I can't imagine, right now, that I'd be able to see the difference on a better set. If I can't tell the difference between a device and the "better" version... as far as I'm concerned, there IS no difference.

    This set is part of a complete "home theater" setup, including a full 7.1 speaker system (two original-release Bose 301 speakers, a set of Klipsch Quintet IIIs, and a Polk PSW505 12" subwoofer), a Pioneer 1019 receiver, a home theater PC, plus a full range of sources (turntable, cassette, VCR, DVD-changer, Archos 5 internet media tablet, cable-company DVR, and blu-ray player).

    If I had a much larger living room, I might want a LARGER set, but as far as the picture quality, I'm just amazed. Note that everything I watch on this set (in High-definition, at least) comes in through the receiver, and I'm sure that contributes some elements to the overall picture characteristics... but I've never seen a better picture anywhere.

    The sound quality from the built-in speakers is better than "fine" but obviously not truly hi-fidelity. The feature set is very complete (though I think I need to upgrade my "wireless G" uplink point to a "wireless N" uplink point so that I can watch movies from online... you need a FAST connection for this to work, though all the rest of the internet-ish features work flawlessly on my "wireless G" connection).

    Note that if you want the "internet" features, you'll either need to connect a network cable to it, or do as I have and go wireless. If you go wireless, you have only one choice... Samsung's PROPRIETARY "usb dongle." That's the one criticism of this set I can really make.

    As far as the set's cosmetics... I would have preferred it to be provided without the "touch of color" bezel, and instead just be the functional monitor (which would actually be a bit smaller overall). But I'm a guy, I couldn't care less about the appearance (provide it doesn't have "Hello Kitty" on it or something!). I care about how it works... and it works magnificently. I got it here because it was VERY affordable here... that's what keeps me coming back to Amazon (instead of shopping at my local Best Buy or whatever). Mind you, I'd gladly patronize my local shop, if they had the stock, and the prices, you get here.

    But let's just say... I've decided to buy the smaller version (32", 6000 series) to go into my bedroom now, and I bought that from Amazon as well. It's hard to beat the service you get here!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Samsung NO SUPPORT poor customer service
    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I just purchased series 7000 40 HD TV and part of the hype is ability to stream video to it. Well after getting it, the software and tools samsung provides stink, but samsung in their wisdom uses open source and other third party tools lime Samygo was availble. Works great and samsung does have a good picture. Well - the firmware version on TV was 1016 and SamyGo worked fine, until another feature called auto firmware update on TV started. It asked if I wanted to update, sure why not. The TV downloaded via my network and installed 1017 firmware.

    The 1017 not only blocked ability to revert back to 1016, but encrpyted all widgets and USB add on's like SamyGo. So Samsung has decided to let their developers cripple use of third party tools and enhancements. Not only have they done this, their tools don't work anymore and they WILL NOT help you if you call.

    This TV is worth NO MORE than $700.oo - don;t buy this and stay away from SAMSUNG - Sorry SAMSUNG you make great TV's but your lack of support and process of stopping people from added functionality is just STUPID.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing picture but..
    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    This television has an amazing picture but the backlighting for my particular set was off. When a completely dark scene was up the television went black (the deepest black that I have ever seen on a set). However, when a lighter image appeared the backlighting would shift and would have a white tint around all four corners of the set. Once I noticed this that was the only thing that I was looking for and became annoying. I sent the television back because I have an older 46" Samsung and had to deal with Samsung customer service which was a nightmare. I replaced it with the LG 42SL90. The LG is perfect. This set has an amazing picture, no shifting of the backlight and no white areas. You have to mess with the setting for awhile to get it just right but once that is done the picture is ridiculous.
