The Samsung UE46B7000 TV is the version of the UE46B7020 that’s exclusive to Dixons, Currys and PC World. The 46B7000 has a red tinged bezel surround to the screen. Whereas the 46B7020 has white edging to a platinum black finish – sometimes its called the 46B7000WW or 46B7020W. They’re all the same TV under the skin.
First Impressions: The first thing you notice is how slim it is. Just over an inch (and less than 3cm) in depth. And Samsung hasn’t cheated, unlike some other manufacturers, by moving some of the internal components to a separate connected box. It has a glossy finish, together with a striking slender translucent neck, connecting the screen to its stand.
Sound Quality: This leads to a weakness common in modern TVs – the sound quality is only average. There is so little depth to permit decent speakers. So, if you’re planning on investing a lot of money in a TV like this you seriously need to consider connecting it to separate speakers.
Picture Quality: The unique selling point of the UE46B7000 is the fact that it uses LED technology to replace the traditional fluorescent tube backlighting system found in other TVs. What some reviewers haven’t understood is that the screen itself still uses tried and tested LCD technology. The advantages of LEDs as opposed to fluorescent tubes are:
* LEDs give a more even light – they use a grid system, rather than the traditional fluorescent light source.
* LEDs can produce a perfect black – which has not been possible with LCD TVs until now.
* Response times (when viewing a fast changing picture) are quicker.
* The colour palette is wider.
Connections: With 4 HDMIs, 2 USBs and a LAN connection, it has all the connections you’re likely to need for the foreseeable future. The USB ports allow the playing of a multiplicity of multimedia file formats as well as to your wireless network (you will need a separate dongle.) And the LAN network connection allows easy access to files on your home network.
The main remote control is a rather strangely shaped device, a bit like a shoehorn. A little uncomfortable to use at first, but OK once you’re used to it. And a baby remote is alos provided – enabling power of and on, together with channel and volume changes.
Energy efficiency: LEDs use much less power (between 100W and 130W) than the traditional fluorescent backlighting so the TV will be cheaper to run than its competitors.
Conclusion: Despite having only average sound quality, this TV produces stunning pictures, with deep blacks and none of the slightly washed out looks that you can often get in LCD TVs.
