    CNET Review

    April 10, 2009

    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.

    Review Summary: . If price is not a deciding factor, then this HDTV is the one for you. On the higher side of the price range, the Samsung UN40B7000 has many innovative features which stand up to the exaggerated prices. Due to the LED lighting, the bezel is very thin ...
