Samsung UN55D7000 REVIEWS

Samsung UN55D7000 Half TV, half computer, totally awesome!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.

Samsung UN55D7000 great purchase.
This is an awesome tv. I know some people say they have clouding issues but I dont have them myself. I fooled around with the picture settings a little, nothing to drastic and I have no complaints. This tv replaced my Sony XBR9 I sold to a friend and Im totally happy I did. The 2D picture is awesome and 3D is better than I hoped for. I remember las years model 3D was pretty crappy so I was considering a Sony but the overall appearance of this tv is just to great. 3D games, movies, and the few available channels are all fantastic. I know some peoples eyes are bothered by 3D so that is always something to consider. The remote is pretty intense but also pretty neat overall I like it. Sound isnt bad for how thin the tv is but with the sound bar and sub I have great sound anyways. Hopefully this will help some people make decisions.

The only issue I had was payment with the Amazon store card. I had to charge to my max on the card and it was declined multiple time because they were charging me an extra dollar on my card which they often do at amazon, they start with $1 then charge the rest after. Besides that a great purchase.




Samsung UN55D7000 Simply a well defined TV
I had a 2004 Sony 60" KDF-60X955 DLP TV. The TV was on last leg about one year ago when I started to see blue color at the lower right hand corner of the screen. I was looking at Samsung UN55-C8000 since last Xmas. I hestitated to buy it back then because of the hefty price tag. When UN55-D7000 first came out, I bought it from Amazon.com. I love the slim 0.5" frame and 1.2" depth of the TV. Next, I was looking at contrast ratio. I saw it somewhere that the TV has 16 MM: 1 contrast ratio. The D8000 has 25MM : 1. The sales guy from bestbuy said that Samsung dropped the contrast ratio specification this year because it is so high that they quoted the ratio as infinity. This is another reason I picked the D7000 over the C - series. I didn't buy the D8000 series because it costs $800 more than D7000 and I don't think I can notice the difference. Another reason I bought this TV is that the D series is internet ready without a dongle while the C - series needs an external dongle. The apps are fairly comprehensive. You definitely need the QWERTY control to type things it. I am still waiting for my QWERTY keyboard to show up. I don't understand why Samsung did not include it in the TV packet. It needs to be ordered separately (for free) via internet or phone with the registration code that comes with the TV.

After 2 weeks of use, the HD picture quality is simply amazing - a million times better than my KDF-60X955 DLP TV. The SD picture quality is many times better than my old TV. I like this TV. 

Samsung UN55D7000LF  "Smart TV" says it all!
There is a lot I could say about this TV because it does it all! It is a great buy and I have no regrets. I upgraded from last years Samsung LED UN46C5000 and the picture quality is amazing compared!


Samsung UN55D7000LF After tons of research, I finally pulled the trigger
Like you, I have many things to do and not a lot of time to do them in, so here are my Pros and Cons in bullet format:

PROS
- Beautiful design
- Great viewing angle
- Easy setup
- QWERTY remote is easy to set up if you follow the simple instructions given
- Not a Shrek fan myself, but my mother is, so she loves the 3D voucher
- Hulu+, Vudu, Netflix = AMAZING
- PC input makes my TV my new computer monitor (PDFs are easy to read and reduces eye strain)
- Sound is adequate for me. I'm not an audiophile, but I saw 'Black Hawk Down' and 'Full Metal Jacket' and felt immersed in the movie. Not to mention, PS3 games and Microsoft Kinect games are AMAZING and fun with friends!
- No Soap Opera effect while watching TV
- Photos/Videos app is great to have while entertaining guests (My fiance had a bridal shower and displayed photos of us in a slideshow throughout the party)
- Basketball games and other sports look great. I did have a complaint about the football in American football (see below)
- I'm not a 3D tech fan, but the glasses and 3D functionality work wonderfully compared to the previous Samsungs and all of the Sonys that I've seen 3D on.

CONS
- Remote took a while to get here, I wish it came with the TV
- Some 'blooming' on the very edges of the screen, but is less compared to my friend's LG and Sony (The sony was worse)
- Maybe its me, but when I see football games, the football seems to spin a lot faster, then accelerate after seemingly stalling for the tiniest instant. I think its me, I had this 2002 model 19" Sony Flat screen that weighed a ton, so I guess I'm not used to seeing football on an HDTV)
- I wish the 60" model was available when I bought it, I'm a typical guy and want the biggest and baddest TV out there. I have the 55", and for the time being, I know I own the biggest and baddest TV out there.


Conclusion
I spent almost a year looking at TVs, almost went with a Sony during their PS3+HDTV event in January - so glad I didn't. LG has some great TVs, but I just couldn't get it to the correct setting while messing with some TVs at Best Buy - it always seemed something was missing compared to the Samsungs.

I almost bought the Samsung C7000, but for $400 more, I got this baby and the 3D voucher and my PS3 (the ps3 was due to an awesome Slick Deals... deal).

I couldn't be any happier with this TV. My fiance comes over a lot more to watch her favorite TV shows, my work productivity has gone down, but its great to spend a night watching the tube with my favorite gal.

Enjoy!


Samsung UN55D7000LFXZA EXCELLENT!!!
Delivery was excellent, freight company was very careful with boxed TV. Unit powered up great, would suggest having WiFi connected. TV needs to update firmware, will do automatic after Web connection.

Picture is excellent and very clear. I would recommend this set to anyone.

Samsung UN55D7000 Best Price, Love it.
I received this unit in a timely fashion and love the quality of the TV and would recommend this product and seller to anyone considering ordering a TV online. This is my first major purchase though Amazon and I cannot be more happy with everything to date service, shipping, quality etc.

Samsung UN55D7000 Best Price, GREAT TV!!
So Far So Good. I got this TV after a pretty big price drop and with the free Blu-Ray player and Megamind starter set. I wanted the TV for the refresh rate and slim design, the 3D was just a sidenote. The Hi-Def is insane and makes you feel like you are watching people act in person. I haven't watched anything with a lot of black in the background but the bleeding seems to be controlable with tweaking. Other reviews say they did not get the QWERTY remote with theirs but mine had it in the box. I am still in the process of tinkering with the setting to get the picture possible but love what I see so far. Just buying from Amazon you will save a couple hundred just on Tax and Shipping alone.


Samsung UN55D7000 Best Buy,  Awesome TV if the right picture setting are used & here they are.
Use the picture settings in my Review listed at the end and the Samsung un55d7000 will look awesome. First off I notice major black light bleed out of the box & even after tweaking the TV on my own until I found the right settings from a other users.

What I really like about this tv is that my playstation 3 is synced with the tv. My tv come's on when the playstation is turned on and I can control my ps3 with my Samsung remote nice feature. The tv is nice a thin not very heavy. The 2d to 3d conversion is total crap some stuff looks good but for the most part it's a BIG gimmick. Movies & stuff filmed in 3D look amazing sometimes it's a hit & miss. So far my favorite 3d movies are : ( Monsters Vs Aliens ) ( avatar ) ( Despicable me ) Resident evil looked like crap & I really didn't like monster house. I am hoping the studios will improve 3D filming and make live action films pop out more. I tried some playstation 3 games in 3d I like the idea but WoW it really makes your eyes hurt after awhile.

Setting up the tv was pretty easy I did found setting up the wireless on the Tv to be a real pain. I am pretty good with computers and wireless network it was still a pain. I have a netgear router and I was not able to link it with normal settings the tv kept saying my pass word was wrong password ended up doing the button method on my router and samsung tv. Right away the Tv found the router and no more issues.
