Samsung UN55B7000 Great Product,

Sleek, elegant, and efficient, this TV's picture quality is only rivaled by Samsung's new plasmas. If you're a gamer then go with LED TVs like this. If you're a film guru go with the plasmas.

Samsung UN55B7000 Excellent TV

Picked up the UN55B7100 from Best Buy this weekend (identical to 7000 except it is Gray ToC instead of red). I love this TV. Upgraded from LNT4061F from Samsung. It is so thin its amazing the wall mount screws don't go through the screen. At less than 50lbs without the stand it is substantially lighter than any traditional 55 inch lcd or plasma. The colors are vibrant, the blacks are solid and the picture just seems to pop. I haven't done any calibration or adjustments so I'm thinking it only gets better from here. Hooked up to surround sound system so I can't say anything about the speakers. Yes, it is more expensive than many similar sized tv, but I really think it's worth it.

Samsung UN55B7000 Top of the line

Had this TV for about a week and it lives up to the hype. I've never seen a tv with a blacker black. My wife's first comment when it was pulled of the box: "Wow, that is thin!". Amazing that they can fit such a fantastic product into 1.5" of depth. The only thing I would note is that I did see what some say about the light bleeding in from the edge. I noticed it at night during an almost completely black scene. I actually didn't notice it until I thought to look based on others' comments, and it's very discrete. It doesn't degrade the viewing experience at all. If that's something that would bother you, stop looking at your tv and start watching your tv.

Samsung UN55B7000 Great TV

This is a great TV. There are a few minor issues, first the viewing angle is not the best, but I always have the best seat so not an issue. The second issue is there is minor bleed through in the four corners from the lights but you have to look for it to see it. It needs some adjustments out of the box to make it look good and get rid of the ghosting and juddering. But after that it looks amazing in movies TV, and video games.

Samsung UN55B7000 Beautiful TV, great picture

I'm not an audiophile, but in my humble opinion, this is a great TV. The picture is stunning. My son and I just watch the World Series on it, and never once lost the ball in the picture due to slow frame refresh or the less-than-240 MHz rate of 120. Nor have I seen any of the issues referenced by others regarding the 8000 series and issues with "lighting from the corners". I pulled out a 65" Mitsubishi Diamond, and put this in the hole it created in our entertainment center. Even though it's 10" smaller, it's 1000% better. The only downside I see right now is that it's hard to turn the TV off now... I should be reading more books!

Samsung UN55B7000 Excellent but not perfect

Let me first say this is the fourth LCD TV I'ved owned,second Samsung.I can understand all the gripping about the uneven picture in dark scenes,however after proper calibration which includes going into expert mode and shutting off CE Dimming I must say the picture is outstanding,color,contrast,black levels are spot on.I used Video Essentials to calibrate the brightness,contrast,color,tint and sharpness.This tv is well worth the money.My only grip is the internet wigets thingy which is too slow for me.

Samsung UN55B7000 Amazing! LED all the way!

I waited long enough for a T.V like this to come out. I have holding out on buying a T.V as they are always coming out with newer technology. I am very please with my purchase. I have not played around with the settings but this picture is truly amazing. My dad had an older Samsung and he was amazed how the picture has changed since he purchased his about 2 year ago. The slim depth is just plain mind blowing. I also got this t.v for a great price after the huge promotional discount Amazon offered. A little part of my wishes that I would have splurged for the 8000 series but I am very happier with the picture.

The one concern I had after reading everyone's review is the overpowered LED bleeding through the edges of the T.V during the dark scenes. I have not really noticed this at all. I think some people are just overly critical on things. If you really pay attention to it you might notice it but if you are just watching the picture itself you can't notice it. So don't base your decision on this issue.
