Samsung Un55B7000 Led good price

TV looks great on the wall -- nice clean and simple design.

Impressive image quality when viewed straight on. The 46" version seems to have better image quality (I know 3 people with 46").

Terrible mini scart adapter -- the standard size scart lead is always falling out of this. It's a shame Samsung couldn't provide a 1m or 2m length mini scart lead.

I was going to purchase a Samsung HDMI/Bluray/Hard Disk player, but reviews were very bad, and I'm not taking the chance. Damn shame, because they look good and would match the impressive aesthetics of the screen.

No problems connecting to HDMI sockets (these are physically secure unlike scart), but had a problem with sound (i.e. lack of) when connecting to (new) PC -- resolved with downloaded software drivers for PC.

The ultra slim stand (not included) doesn't allow as easy access to back as literature suggests -- the angle is insufficient. Recommend a USB extension lead to access USB socket.

Unless someone can show me otherwise, there seems to be a lot of built in redundancy with the remote control and on screen interface, for me anyway, as I'm on Virgin Media, and perhaps for anyone else, as analogue TV broadcasts are being phased out. That aside, the on screen interface is great, especially the diagnostics. I was particularly taken by the sounds that play when the unit is turned on and off... the little things matter!

Samsung Plasma TVs analysis

Samsung is one of only a few major manufacturers that still produce plasma TVs. Plasmas produce better blacks and less motion blur than LCDs, but struggle to match the brightness of the competing technology, meaning they're only really suitable for use in a dark room. Nevertheless, Samsung produces some excellent models, with higher series offering multimedia playback and even internet access. In the 5 and 6 series, Samsung plasma TVs manufactured from September onward will also support CI Plus encryption technology.

Samsung Plasma: 4 Series
This series, the cheapest among Samsung plasma TVs, offers a lot of picture for not a lot of money. The 100-hertz technology is supposed to eliminate large-area flicker on this type of screen. Buyers of 4-series models will have to live without Full HD resolution and fancy extras. The TVs do at least have built-in tuners for DVB-T and DVB-C, although they lack CI Plus support.

Samsung Plasma PS 42 B 430, 42 inches (107 cm), 470 GBP
Samsung Plasma PS 50 B 430, 50 inches (127 cm), 650 GBP

Samsung Plasma PS 42 B 450, 42 inches (107 cm), 600 GBP
Samsung Plasma PS 50 B 450, 50 inches (127 cm), 1,100 GBP

Samsung UE40B7020WW 40 Inch 7 Series LED TV

SAMSUNG LED TV Series 7

Soft square clean cutting design delivers the feeling of perfection. SAMSUNG Crystal TV™ design LED TV series 7 gives users a futuristic experience of an enhanced TV with Medi@2.0 and 4 HDMI connections. In addition the 7 Series LED TV is very environmentally friendly.

Standard LCD TVs use a simple constant backlight to illuminate the image on trhe screen. But this type of lamp is too bright to display decent black images, so blacks can look grey and washed out.

LED backlight is a new technology that converts elctrical energy directly into light, producing a dramatic improvement in colour and contrast. Samsung LED replaces ordinary flourecent backlights with multiple LEDs, arranged around the outer edge of the screen, that can brighten, dim or turn off all together depending on the picture. This gives you deeper authentic blacks and greater subtlety of colour gradiation.
