Reviews of the Samsung UN40B7000

CNET Review
The Good: Produces relatively deep black levels; accurate color; very good dejudder processing; sleek styling with 1.2-inch thick panel; extensive feature set with Yahoo widgets, network streaming, and a lot of built-in content; extremely energy-efficient.
The Bad: Expensive; less-uniform screen than other LCDs; poor off-angle viewing; backlight fluctuates with program brightness; dark areas tinged bluer; shiny screen can cause reflections in bright rooms; red frame isn't for everyone.
The Bottom Line: Although its picture quality can't quite live up to the high price, the Samsung UNB7000 series is a technological and design tour de force.
