Samsung UN55D7000 User Reviews
Amazing Product by Sloopy
I was instantly blown away from the design of this tv, from edge to edge, the broadcast comes alive. With very little bevel and amazing crispness, the HD images pop out at you even without the 3D affects. I love the built-in WiFi and the Netflix and Hulu+ along with the easy to use integrated browser. I also have many friends and family living abroad so the Skype is a great tool as well. To enhance the built-in feel of the television, hang it against the wall with Samsung's Ultra Slim bracket. The sound was not too important to me as I have a home theatre set up and nowadays feel that if you are buying a tv of this magnitude, leave the audio to external sources. The graphics are incredibly realistic and gaming is incredible on this tv. I liked it so much I have ordered the smaller one for my office!
Half TV, half computer, totally awesome! by Donald Copeland
This TV replaced an aging Samsung 52" 650 series...a fine TV in it's day. Well the D7000 blows it out of the water. The LED backlighting really brings the picture to life. I'm confident that this set is among the best of 2011, both in performance and aesthetics. Definitely one of its coolest features is its internet connectivity. Like many other brands you can browse through apps (Facebook, Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, etc.) but this is the first to have a full web browser...and assuming you have a solid internet provider, it's fast too! The only unfortunate thing about it right now is that you have to wait 10-12 weeks before you receive the full Qwerty remote, so you'll be browsing with unimaginable inefficiency (you're using the numeric keypad to enter web addresses)!
So far the only minor issue I have found is that sometimes there is obvious "bleeding" coming from the edges/corners when the screen is black. It doesn't seem to happen during movies, only during the transition phases, like when programs are loading or you're scrolling through sources. I have not tried the 3D yet so I can't comment on its quality.
In summary, a ridiculous amount of technology in a small and beautiful package; a near perfect TV.
Awesome Samsung! by Seth P. Moyer
The picture is so noticeably better than both my Plasma in my Den and LCD that was in my family room - and when I say better, we are talking not even close. I had the LCD still set up in my family room when I set up the Samsung LED - side by side and had Avatar running on both via my DVR. Both are full HD, etc. The picture out of the box on the Samsung was more vivid, clearer, life like, vibrant, etc. And remember I had my LCD for 2 years, so all the settings have been tweaked to my specific liking, while the Samsung was in it's preset mode. It really is unbelievable. By far the best picture on the market of any LCD's or LED's. And the best picture I have ever seen. It looks so much better than in the retail stores as well with proper lighting...
As you know it comes bundled with the first 3 Shrek 3d DVD's and 3D MegaMind (along with the Samsung 3d DVD Player). The 3D quality is as good as any movie on the big screen I have seen. It really was so much better than I had anticipated. I didn't buy the TV for the 3D, more of a nice to have for my children... They all agree that the experience is as good if not better than at the movie theater. The glasses (comes with 2 pair) are quite expensive and a family of 5 will need to fork out a 250 extra for additional sets.
The profile of the TV is ridiculous. It is so thin and the bezel is almost not there. Everyone that has seen it thinks it is more of a picture than a television.
I have played around with the browser and applications a bit. As others mentioned it is pretty cumbersome to navigate. However, you will probably spend very little time in these apps outside netflix and an occasional YouTube video. Once you set up your DirecTV or Cable to control the volume and on and off. You will probably not use the remote that often either due to using the remote from your Sat or cable provider.
Overall I really can't say anything negative about the overall TV. It is by far the best picture and 3D experience you can have that is on the market today.
Best TV I've ever owned by SnoBrd
This 55" replaced a 47" Sony Bravia XBR. With the very small, clear bezel, the physical dimensions are very similiar. The picture is much better and it has the ability to wirelessly connect to my modem. It mounts very easily onto the wall...I believe this is going to be a game changer!
