Samsung UN55C7000 REVIEWS

Samsung UN55C7000 Great TV, really great feature nobody mentions!
I spent a lot of time reading on-line reviews of this TV and its little brother the 46 inch model before going to a store. I was mostly interested in the downloadable apps and the picture quality. 3D wasn't a primary concern.
I was very concerned as to how glare would affect the picture as I have a south-facing wall of glass behind the viewer that is a real issue in the winter when the sun is low and we are watching football. I had a second generation plasma that was 8 years old and the glare could be enough to force us to TIVO the games and watch them at night.

Well, we bought the 55 inch model and wow, what a picture. It is significantly better than the plasma that we had before. Individual blades of grass stand out perfectly. When the screen is black, the set is a mirror and the glare is significant, but once a non-black picture comes on, the set is capable of reducing the glare to only a very minor issue. This was really beyond what we had hoped for.

We were pleased to find out that the set automatically detected DVDs in our SONY player and switched to the DVD source when one starts to play. My wife is more than a bit technophobic, so less remote fiddling is good.

The apps/widgets are very nice. You get both the Samsung apps and Yahoo apps, so there is quite a variety.

But, and I do mean a big BUT, these are not the coolest thing on the set. Samsung has included a full implementation of DLNA, I think for the first time this year. What is DLNA and what does it matter? It is a fancy set of intials (Digital Living Network Alliance, if it matters) that are a standard for devices accesing data on other computers.
In my house I have a network device that I store videos and music on for the house. I had a dedicated Media Center computer next to my TV to play movies from this and the TV was essentially a display for the computer. Now, the TV gets the files all by itself and the computer is no longer necessary. Essentially, the TV can show a movie on another computer by itself.
Other sets have been able to have PCs play the movie on them using an early version of DLNA, but now you can use your remote to play movies without messing with the computer. This may sound techy, but it is really nice and my wife loves it. Home movies and stored DVDs can be pulled up with just a couple clicks of the remote.

The DLNA was easy to set up. You can download and run a program from Samsung on a Windows machine or run any other DLNA server program on your mac, LINUX or whatever computer. Then you go to the TV and it automatically finds the computer(s) and shows the files. I have a Netgear NAS and it had its own DLNA program that worked first try.

All in all, this is as good of a TV as I could have hoped for.


Samsung UN55C7000 Best Ever.
ok so this tv is the best tv ive ever seen in my life..... im sure that a hardcore tv nut might have something different to say but so far i can find no fault with the tv i gave it 3 stars for sound because i havent used the sound as i have surround sound i bought this tv "Used" from amazon and it was brand new when i got it it still have the plastic sticky stuff on the edges and it looked absolutly pristine i wont need another tv for years to come thank you samsung

Samsung UN55C7000 Great TV for price!
Excellent TV especially for the sale price and promotioal offers that came with it. You will not be disappointed.

Samsung UN55C7000WF The picture is amazing!!
I just received the TV yesterday. I was blown away by the picture quality. I was originally concerned about what the sound quality would be with an LED but this exceeded my expectations. Watching sports on it is unbelievable. The 3D capability is amazing. The only negative is that you have to purchase the Samsung Link stick to hook up to your wireless network. Overall very satisfied!


Samsung UN55C7000WF GREAT TV!

Absolutely great tv. Havent tried out the 3d yet because the dvd player is on back order but I would recommend this tv to everyone.

Samsung UN55C7000WFXZA AWESOME!
I have had this TV (55 inch 8000 series) for about a month now. I wholeheartedly love this thing. Before I bought it I spent many hours reading reviewers complaints about the negatives of this TV, then I read a review here on Amazon saying that only a serious videophile will find fault with this tv. He was dead on, the biggest issue seems to be with "panel uniformity" which as I understand it translates into spikes of leakage of light onto the screen. This does happen in certain dark scenes and frankly it makes so little of a difference I couldnt care less. The settings/features are numerous and deep. This tv can be customized in a million ways. Video games are amazing and the 240hz feature (which can be turned off/on/preset levels/customize) is perfect for video games and animated content, it makes big budget movies look terrible, but like i said, its perfect for video games and animated stuff.
The HD is crisp and fast moving. Theres not actually any con that i can list here for the tv, and mind you ive had it for at least a month now. Want to have some fun? put on Wall-E in Blu-ray with the 240hz set to "smooth", thats how i make guests in my apt. jealous and loathsome at the same time. I havent tried the 3d yet but cant wait to. If youve got the scratch and you want one bad mother of a tv, go with this one. Its a thing of beauty.

Samsung UN55C7000WFXZA Very good.
I thought I was buying the package and I ended up with just the TV. I contacted Amazon and found each and every item should of been put into the shopping basket, which is something I did not do. After speaking to a couple of different people, I got the problem resolved I was sent a bluray DVD player and the 3D package at no additional cost to me, it is something Amazon did not have to do, but they went out of their way to solve my problem. I am indeed happy with the products and with Amazon. Thank you so very much. Norm

Samsung UN55C7000 Best Price, Simply Brilliant
I Have had this TV for 4 months now and I would simple say its just brilliant. The picture quality is outstanding as well as the 3D capability.
I dont understand the folks who are complaining about Backlit problems.....unless you are extremely critical of video performance or own a Ferrari and cannot settle for an Nissan GTR then this is not the TV for you go look else were.
I have tried hard to find video problems in this but for an average observer like me I have not found any deficiencies in this TV.
I changed the Black level to the Deepest and that works awesome for me in extreme dark scenes on TV its as dark as it gets.

I give Amazon 5 stars for its service, Delivered the TV within a week , the delivery guys opened the tv and checked it, everything looked good. I got the Samsung Blueray 3d dvd player and the 2 3d glasses as part of the bundle.
Note : you have to add these to the shopping cart individually at checkout Amazon gives you the credit for the dvd and glasses.

I also bought the samsung slim tv wall mount and it works awesome, my tv is mounted 1 inch from the wall. I also bought the Logitec RF Remote so all by DVR, DVD,and componets are hidden behind the cabinets.

I am attaching a picture of it in my living room.

This is a great TV for the price, dont look back just buy it.

Next thing on my list is to buy the Bose Lifestyle Audio system.

Samsung UN55C7000WF Love it!
Overall I love it! Amazon said delivery would be the 7th...was actually the 17th. That's my biggest negative, but the delivery guys were right here on that date when they said they would be and they were WONDERFUL!

The TV is my first HD and I love the picture! The 3D effect is fun. I'm hoping more 3D movies become available soon. I am in a rural area and there is only one 3D movie in this area to rent! Redbox doesn't have any. I have Dish and they don't have any 3D channels, but I hear that Direct TV does.

I feel like I got a great deal with the bluray player and starter kit. Everything came before Christmas and was easy to set up. With such a large screen it seems that more than 2 people will be watching a movie so it would be nice to have more than two 3D glasses.

My son got the Internet on it working. My favorite ap is the weather. I can't get Netflix to work correctly yet through the ap. It tells me to go to settings but there is no settings associated with it. I wish that the Flickr ap had an option to show the pictures full screen.

I love that this led is much more energy efficient. I have been around some other HDs and you can feel the heat emitting from them. This one is not like that at all.

The TV itself is very sleek and I am glad I got it! I'll warn you that once you go 55" HD, nothing else measures up!

Samsung UN55C7000 Best Price, Amazing picture!
I purchased this television as a Christmas gift for my husband -- and so far, we are both very happy. The picture (especially HD movies and NFL and college bowl games) is so real that it jumps off the screen. The sound is more than adequate for the room, and we are comparing it to an existing surround sound set up for another TV. The price was reasonable, and the decision to go to LED turned out to be an excellent one.  


Samsung UN55C7000 Best Buy, This is a cool TV!
I held off buying a flat screen tv for quite some time. I had been eyeing this tv at Sams Club for quite some time. Now that I bought it from Amazon and it hangs in my living room.....I'm loving it. The picture is almost sureal. The people are almost in the same room with you. It has many features, lots of inputs and is intelligent when connected to CEC compliant devices. I bought a slim line bracket and hung it on the wall. I put all of my audio/dvd/components in a closet 15' away. When I went to run the ac cord though, it has a non-standard plug for connecting. I would have expected a computer type female plug-in but nope. Oh-well, I guess that would have taken up extra room in the ever slimming design.

Lighting of the TV is great, colors are great, very vivid.
