Simon, South Croydon

Score 9.0/10

+ A great picture, especially in HD. A very slim design. The tv has some good features like the use of the internet which works well. Make sure to search for the optimal settings on the internet though as they do make a difference.

- I didn't feel the sound was loud enough at the top end for a true cinema experience (as you have a large screen tv!). It may be worth considering a blu-ray home cinema system. I purchased the 1255 which works fantastically with the tv. If you want the latest kit, look out for the 8 series LED which I think is available. It has 200hz as opposed to 100hz on this one. I am not sure when the 55" version is available but 46" and below are.

+ Brilliant picture. Ultra slim design is very good. Relatively easy to use.

- We have had to buy a dongle in order to hook up the DNLA wirelessly. We also have to buy a sound system and the sound quality does not match the picture quality and this is much more expensive than I realised. Also the Ultra slim wall bracket is a rip off at £200!!! My partner has made one that does the same job for under £10!!!

+ Very stylish and astonishingly slim. Amazing picture quality even in Freeview.

- Not many, being picky it would be the screws to mount a frame for the stand that were problematic to use.

+ Thinness, Being able to play photo's & movies direct from hard disc or usb stick.

- When mounted on the wall with an after market bracket, the connectors are impossible to get at without taking it off the wall, but i suspect that would be the same with most non tilt wall mounts.
Spacers provided but no bolts to fix after market brackets and no mention of length of bolt needed.

Score 10.0/10

+ Image quality, design looks amazing definitely wife friendly, plenty of connections, on screen menus look great, very light to move around, the cable management on the tv is well designed and if you have a white wall behind the tv wires go through a white sleeve provided and pretty much turn invisible behind the clear stalk of the stand, the stand looks very nice.

- sound is liveable but not amazing but if your pairing this up with a sound bar or home cinema sound system or theatre in a box type systems this does not matter

+ Absolutely huge TV, really high quality picture even with this size screen, extremely easy to use & set up. Very cool styling & some great built in features (photo gallery, recipes, games etc)

- None really - it's quite heavy (although, relatively, the lightest in its class) but what do you expect from a 55" TV.

Paul, Birmingham, UK , “Games & films”

Score 9.0/10

+ Excellent picture quality. Supports all popular video connections. Games consoles look amazing, even the Wii doesn't look too shabby and the colours are vivid. 24Hz film mode is great for watching Blu-Rays. Default settings are decent, but everything is highly customisable too. Thin light & low power / eco friendly. Stays cool. Genius packaging - outside of box slides up and over.

- Clouding on corners of screen in dark scenes, lack of (analog) audio jack out. Some menu options are hard to find (eg. Game Mode under "General" settings). Sounds is better than expected for such a thin screen but still requires decent digital sound system to be bought separately.

Score 8.0/10

+ Samsung has finally updated their user interface and software compared to older LCD TV's and it is so much better now. Channels and sources selection is much faster now. Picture quality and black's are really good and unit is much cooler, thinner and lighter compared to non LED LCD TV's. This is the way LCD TV's should have been made in a first place and not using fluorescent tubes. Not sure if this is s a good or bad point (good for me as it provides flexibility) but you really should spend some time playing around with image quality settings to get the 'best' picture for yourself (not that factory settings are that bad). Once done it will look really good.

- Using internet services via TV is slow and rather awkward so I don't use it, much easier with computer.
Speakers don't sound that good.

+ Slimline design and fits flush to the wall with the correct wall mounting. Picture in HD particularly good.

- Sound quality very disappointing and definitley a home cinema system is required. Also the fact that Samsung attach a heavy stand which is not required as I cannot believe anyone would buy this not to wall mount it. To purchase the correct wall mounting is an additional £200. They should give you the option with stand or with wall mount.

Score 10.0/10

+ It has the wow x factor looks and delivers an image beyond expectations even with non hd equipment. The link to internet brings it all together. It is remarkably slim and hangs like a picture frame with Samsung brackets. So now we can display the mona lisa or any other piece of art on our wall as ascreen saver or enjoy and experience the sight and sounds of a movie without going to a cinema hall. Sports are excellent to view in HD, if only England could also improve its performance to match our new Samsung.

- Being new technology its a little on the pricy side and having to purchase HDMI leads and supporting bracket seperatly is annoying. Would have preffered a package price.

Product Features

Screen Size in Inches	55
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Type of Screen	LED
Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
HD TV	Full HD 1080p
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have • Minimum vertical resolution of 750 pixels (in widescreen format) • Ability to display 720p and 1080i formats • An HDMI or Digital Video Interface (DVI interface) Full HD is a higher standard. Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second. Full HD is becoming common, but you won’t see Full HD on normal TV channels for a long time, so it remains optional for many people.
Freeview or Freesat Tuner	Freeview
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site.
HDMI Interface	4
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of Scart Interfaces	1
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.
Frequency (Hz)	100
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	80000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Screen Resolution (pixels)	1080p
The number of pixels the screen has. The more you have, the more detail the screen can display, given a high quality source. A breakdown of resolutions can be found on Wikipedia here
Screen Format	16:9
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
PC Interface	Yes
If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.
USB Port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
Type of LED screen	Edge Lit
LED-backlit screens can either be ‘edge-lit’ or ‘local dimming’. Local dimming means that diodes in different areas of the screen can be independently switched on and off, allowing better contrast and black levels. Edge-lit screens lack the deep blacks and extreme contrast of local dimming, but can be even thinner.
Electronic Program Guide (EPG)	Yes
TVs with this feature have an on-screen guide to all the programmes that are currently showing or coming up, so you can find your way around all the extra digital channels easily.
Picture in Picture (PIP)	Yes
TVs with this feature are able to display a preview of another channel while you are watching your current channel.

Height in mm	815
Width in mm	1321

Depth in mm	29.9
Freeview	Yes
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. Many newer TVs have Freeview built in. For other TVs you will need a separate Freeview set-top box.
FreeSat Tuner	No
FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service. The main benefit is that you can get HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You’ll need a dish to recieve the signals though.

TV Buyers Guide

Manufacturer'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.

Pebble Shaped Remote Control

Like a precious stone or a sea smoothed pebble, the pebble shaped remote control is an exquisite piece of electronic art. It shines with a rare beauty that enriches its environment, making your world a more beautiful place.

HDMI

If there’s an easier way to get HD video and pictures onto LED TV Series 7 we’d like to know. All it takes is one single HDMI cord and images are transferred without data loss or headaches.

Eco Flower

Conserving energy is up to everyone. The Eco Label awarded LED TV Series 7 is made with eco-friendly materials and cuts down on energy use. So not only will movies look better, utility bills will too.
