Samsung UN55B7100 Review: 55” LED HDTV

Up for Review: Samsung UN55B7100 LED TV. One of the most notable features that sets this TV apart from others is the Internet connectivity. The B7100 series is built to give you the best of both worlds of television and the Internet. It allows widgets to be placed on the screen of the HDTV, which can be activated when required. Thus, you can get the latest quotes on stocks, learn about the weather or log on to the latest news. You can even access ebay, Flickr and Twitter through these widgets. And the best part is that it is all available on a split-screen display so that you can see your favorite TV programs along with accessing the Internet.

Contrast, color and clarity are emphasized boldly by the Samsung UN55B7100. An astounding value of 3,000,000:1 is projected as the contrast ratio which clearly means great black levels. The blacks are blacker than ever before. Color too includes a wide range with every shade appearing completely true-to-life. The images almost look real enough to make us interact with them. Clarity is of course, a sure factor in this HDTV with great improvements in the images. The edge lighting can cause a bit of a problem sometimes, but in most cases the quality is above reproach.

The design of this HDTV is one of its most prominent aspects. With a very thin silhouette, the set continues to be a hot favorite among the consumers. It can be placed in any part of the house, provided the room is a bit large. Wall mounts make it possible to hang the picture on the walls. It has a sturdy stand to support the large screen. The frame can be hung only 2 inches away from the wall and the hint of gray along the edges gives a classic look to the TV.

The accessibility has been taken a step further with videos, music and photos from your computer or DLNA-enabled cell phone being available on the large screen. Thus, you will be able to get the best of entertainment on the Samsung UN55B7100. Additionally, you can view the photos from the digital camera and music files from an MP3 device or a thumb drive through the USB port on the TV.

Like all recently released HDTVs, this one too conforms to the requirements of Energy Star. In fact, it saves about 40% power, which is quite a lot in comparison to the LCD TVs. Being complete in all respects, this TV is something which will make you feel good, provided you can spare the money. A $3599.99 price tag is sure to make you think twice!
