The Samsung UE46B7000 – One For Your Shortlist
A lot of customers see the Samsung UE46B7000 initially in one of the DSG stores (Currys, Dixons or PC World). There are several model numbers for, in fact, the identical TV, though. What are the differences? Just aesthetic. The Currys model 46B7000, has a fine red surround. Amazon and other online sellers call it the 46B7020, and it has no red line. Now and again other sellers call it the 46B7000WW or 46B7020W.
Out of the Package – First Views: Wow – most people are surprised by just how thin the UE46B7000 is – in reality less than an inch and a half in depth.And Samsung hasn’t cheated, unlike a number of other manufacturers, by moving some of the internal components to a separate joined box. It has a shiny finish, together with a outstanding slim transparent neck, connecting the television to its support.
Sound Quality: This leads to a difficulty frequent in modern TVs – the audio quality is only average. The width of the UE46B7000 is too small to include a decent audio system. It would be prudent to look at adding a surround sound system.
Image Quality: The exclusive selling point of the UE46B7000 is the fact that it uses LED technology to take the place of the established fluorescent tube backlighting arrangement found in other Televisions. What various reviewers have not understood is that the screen itself still uses tried and tested LCD expertise. The advantages of LEDs as opposed to fluorescent tubes are:
* The LED backlit UE46B7000 has an even output of illumination across its screen. Fluorescent lit TVs are more inadequately lit in the centre of the screen.
* LEDs can make a faultless black – which has not been possible with LCD Televisions until currently.
* The response time of the picture is faster.
* The choice of colours that can be shown is superior.
Connectivity: The UE46B7000 comes with four HDMI, two USB, and one LAN port – all nearly everyone of us are likely to call for for a lot of years at least. The LAN one allows the UE46B7000 to retrieve files on your Computer set-up that you might wish to utilize. And the USB connections allow many file formats to be played when a USB stick is inserted. As well as facilitating a wireless connection to your home network – a separate dongle is needed for this.
The principle remote control is a rather oddly created device, a tad like a shoehorn. A little awkward to employ at first, but OK as soon as you are used to it. Just on / off, volume and channel controls are on the second remote – generally OK for daily use, nevertheless.
Environment: Using less than 130 watts in everyday use, the UE46B7000 will cost a smaller amount to run than other similar TVs
Summing up: Although the sound performance of the UE46B7000 is not up to the mark, it outperforms its competitors, with brilliant colours and black blacks. The finest image quality in its class.
