Overall a very nice TV set. Even the sound is not bad (which worried me when I was reading reviews prior to purchasing this TV set).
Excellent picture. - Bad points:

Although the sound is not bad, it lacks volume, so I purchased a sound system, and it makes all the difference when watching films. This makes the TV set really come to life, and it's like being at the pictures!
My main issue was (and I remained defeated) not being able to hang the TV on the wall. Very little help from Samsung or anyone else as to what wall brackets I could or could not buy to get the set up against a wall.
This is a real disappointment when you pay over two grand on a TV. If you're simply putting the set on a unit, then you have no problem. But if you want to hang it, then be careful! the only bracket that appears to be acceptable is 4 bolts and a piece of wire, very good in theory as it is supposed to make the tv set look like a picture frame, but in reality so close to the wall that the wires coming out of sockets are in the way...

Mark , Port Quin, Cornwall. Film and documentary lover
- Good points:
- Great picture quality (using HDMI). great picture viewer, connect a hard drive or key and play downloaded files.
- Bad points:
- The Sound is rubbish, but that's to be expected from a TV thats 3cm thick. most people will be using a surround system anyway so it's not a problem to them. The only major bug with the TV is that does not support DTS sound on media files so you have to convert any video you download with DTS too Dolby Digital using a freeware audio converter on your pc , such as "popcorn" The TV states it supports MKV files but it does not play the sound unless you convert the audio.

TV Buyers GuideManufacturer's Description
There can be only one thinnest, clearest, most elegant television. Easily, it’s Samsung’s LED 7000. Breathtakingly thin, it’s designed as one seamless piece of flawless crystal. On its LED screen, vivid details are captured in every frame. Picture edge-blur removed and full, robust color restored to each pixel. Watch television programs, web content or your own, knowing you’re also being kind to the environment. It’s a remarkable feat of design, on or off.
Picture Perfect
For images that are stunningly true to life you need the 3 C’s: contrast, color and clarity. LED 7000 has them. Its Mega Contrast Ratio feature brings out all the shades of gray as well the shades of amber, fuschia and magenta. A Wide Color Enhancer pro with LED gamut ensures every entire pixel is robust and vibrant. Plus our 100Hz Motion Plus technology removes edge-blur. Leaving your picture smooth and crisp. And your jaw, dropped.
Depth without depth.
Unlike other “slim” televisions, LED 7000 is one of the slimmest television in the world. Instead of multiple parts molded together, it’s one solid, seamless, incredibly beautiful advanced television. Elegantly supported by a unique crystal neck. You’ll have no trouble finding a place for it in any room.
It takes only one screw to mount the astonishingly slim, light LED 7000. And just one look at the Touch of Color frame with its soft, square corners is all it takes to see that it’s not just a television you’re hanging. But a work of art.
Green works in any room
The LED 7000 is easy on the planet as well as the eyes. Its recyclable bezel frame contains no VOC’s. And by using mercury-free LED lights that require less energy, less CO2 is emitted. So you can put your feet up and relax knowing you’re leaving a smaller carbon footprint.
The world wide web just got wider
Can’t decide if you’d rather watch TV or a YouTube video or check your stocks on Yahoo? Do it all on the 7000 TV. An easy to use widget lets you watch, add or delete content. View it all on the roomy sidebar or across the incredibly wide screen. With the 7000, TV goes way beyond just TV.
Getting on TV made easy
LED 7000 takes the struggle out of sharing your talent with the world, or at least with your family. Transfer your videos, music and photos from your PC or from your DLNA phone. Wirelessly and effortlessly. It even connects with multiple PCs. Who said you need connections to get on TV?
Your audience awaits
There’s no excuse anymore for leaving all those great digital pictures and videos in your cameras. All you need with the 7000 TV is one USB 2.0 movie connection cord. Just plug it in then instantly, play, save or delete. It even works for your music collection. So now anytime is showtime.
Library hours extended
Suppose you feel like playing a game of chess or cooking instead of watching TV. LED 7000’s Content Flash Library let’s you do that too. Create your own content, from children’s games to fitness. And downloading is easy. here’s so much you can do with LED 7000 TV. Including watching it.

Eco Flower

from House of Fraser to Tesco,
no one is selling it, we're sorry to say,
not 385 retailers nor anyone on eBay,
but please don't worry even if it hurts,
you can look for alternatives or
