The Samsung UE55B7020 Model Reviewed
The Samsung UE55B7020 LCD TV bills itself as the thinnest, clearest and most elegant looking of television sets. It’s for certain that a TV that makes use of LEDs — light emitting diodes — as a backlight will be extremely thin, and this Samsung delivers on that front. It is so good at what it does that there is no picture blur along the edges, which is a hallmark of LED TVs.
The UE55B7020 comes in at an extra large 55 inches and presents a picture resolution of’20×1080. It uses Samsung’s LED engine to present its WCE — wide colour enhancer — to put it all together, taking advantage of the 100 Hz Motion Plus video capability. Less expensive televisions in this segment tend to make use of cheaper fluorescent tubes to help present all of this, not LEDs.
Because Samsung uses light emitting diodes, TVs such as the Samsung UE55B7020 save quite a bit more energy than do LCD TVs that make use of older-style fluorescent tubes to backlight the screen. When placed along the edges, the TV can be made much thinner and more stylish than when fluorescent tubes are employed. There is almost no need for any sort of thick casing, in other words.
There is a wide range of sophisticated multimedia and network features contained within this particular Samsung UE55B7020, by the way. Most experts say that the network functionality of this TV is what really tv sets it apart. This model can be connected to a network of PCs through use of a standard Ethernet cable. It can also be connected via a wireless adapter for wireless PC networks.
That wireless capability is made use of through standard USB ports contained within the UE55B7020 tv. In order to make all of this run, the PC must be running standard DLNA server software, but that’s increasingly very common in many a PC. Additionally, the Samsung will play multimedia files and will accept video, music and photos directly from a device that connects to one of the USB ports.
To create the vivid pictures that the UE55B7020 tv set displays, Samsung has gone out and created the same sort of picture panel that started being featured back in 2006 on most flat-panel LCD computer monitors. This allows the television set to present extremely clear and crisp images. The Samsung name for the panel is, of course, the “Ultra-Clear Panel.” Colours and richness are first rate all round.
The UE55B7020 television set comes standard with a high quality surround sound system that includes Dolby Digital Plus and what Samsung refers to as a Trusurround SRS HD. There is also an RMS unit that comes with a nice woofer and 15 watts of sound power. Along with all that, but Samsung has other nice features such as a smart content manager and auto volume leveller contained within it.
When seriously considering the Samsung UE55B7020 LCD TV it means that one will have gained a realisation that one will probably be buying not only the thinnest LCD tv on the market but also one of the most elegant looking. Its use of light emitting diodes along the edges and other technologies — which don’t come cheap, by the way — means that one will be buying a tv set of extremely high quality.
