Samsung UN46D7000 Review


Model: Samsung UN46D7000 
Description: 46" 1080p LED Backlit LCD Television with 3D (super thin)
Included: Table Top Stand, 2 Pair 3D Glasses
Reviewer: Robert Wiley and Jack Burden
Date: Late Summer 2011

No one can deny a few facts about the UND7000 picture performance. 1) It is extremely bright with tremendous light (especially in scenes with sunlight streaming into the picture). 2) Colors are vibrant to the point of over saturation unless you are careful with the Picture Mode (the preset Movie picture mode is best) and the picture settings (see our calibrated settings on the next page). 3) Black levels from the Ultra Clear panel are very good. 4) With the proper set up, you can obtain a fantastic picture quality with both HD and SD resolutions. 5) One must be careful to properly tune the Auto Motion Plus feature to get the best combination of attributes. 6) Contrast still decreases at around 25 degrees off center, but not as much as before.
  
  
Picture Gallery
The picture depth of this TV is one of the best we have tested due in part to the effective Ultra Clear Panel. The UND7000 is a good as a plasma TV in this area. Some of the 2D programming actually looks a little bit 3D which makes the picture come to life.
3D picture performance was also very good. The only drawbacks were some glare from the insides of the 3D glasses and tired eyes when viewing some material. We did not note any flashing, flicker, crosstalk, or bottom corner blurring – all problems experienced with last year's Samsung 3D TVs.

Design: People either love or hate the UND7000 table top stand. For those that will be wall mounting, this is not an issue anyway. It could be called obnoxious, but I like that it's different and it swivels 20 degrees. It's functional, cool design. The super thin trim framing this TV is only .35" in width all the way around the screen. It has a chrome silver finish on the edges. One thing I also like about the appearance is the jet black screen when the TV is off. This is Ultra Clear Panel which absorbs light and has a incredible depth.
