HD 1080p Picture Quality: There is nothing subdued about this LED TV, from its super thin good looks to its super saturated colors. Blacks are rich and deep and colors vibrant if not over powering at times. Some dark shadow detail is gone and subtle color notes forgotten. But it’s a colorful picture many will relish. Read our extended picture notes below.

Dark Shadow Detail: As a result of the super saturated blacks, shadow detail can get lost in some scenes. In others, it was fine.
Black Level/Contrast: With color information both light and dark appearing so deeply saturated, contrast effect is excellent. Blacks appear inky and sometimes lose dark shadow detail. White light sometimes is distractingly too bright. Contrast appears more intense on the screen than the average of 191:1 post calibration ANSI checkerboard pattern contrast that we measured - probably due to the effects of the LED backlighting and saturated colors.
Color Rendition/Color Accuracy: Color saturation is a strength of these new LED backlit Samsung LCDs. Colors are super vibrant even if on the unrealistic side at times. It’s what our society (maybe not so much purists) likes these days. On rare occasions there is some over saturation within blacks.
Motion Lag: The Samsung UN55C7000 did a good job eliminating motion lag and judder with the 240Hz feature turned on. by turning the Automotion Plus feature off will introduce some side to side judder (jerkiness). Nevertheless, we recommend this action for especially film based DVDs and movies on broadcast TV.
480i DVD and Broadcast Viewing: For any film or broadcast TV non-sports based material start by turning off the 120Hz/240Hz rate feature as follows: Click Menu/picture/Scroll down to Picture Options/Press enter/Scroll down to AutoMotionPlus 240Hz/Press Enter/Scroll or press to Off position. It is important to turn this feature off (see more on this feature under features section below).
3-D Content Viewing Note: At CES 2010 we had our first chance to see this TV in action with 3-D content from DirecTV. There was notable eye strain as scenes changed. I found myself blinking a lot and started to get pain in my head fairly rapidly as my eyes tried to focus and refocus. It was not a smooth viewing experience. The upside to this is that I believe the tired eye experience was primarily due to the content from DirecTV and not the fault of the TV. I believe the content was rapidly patched together for the show and not likely typical of future 3-D content.
Aesthetic Considerations: The Samsung 3D TV UN55C7000 comes with a 15 to 20 degree swivel quadrapod (our word) table top stand. The stand is heavy, sturdy and gives and expensive quality with its gloss chrome metallic finish. The new 4 legged stand is a brave move and I like it. There are accompanying screws to further secure the stand to the TV. The super thin 1.2″ screen depth is accompanied by an improved 1″ bezel frame surrounding the screen. This is an improvement of an inch over last years model. The bezel frame itself comes in a new Touch of Color called Mystic Earth but which is a charcoal gray color. The frame really appears gloss black/charcoal gray.
Calibration Settings: Calibrating white balance was somewhat difficult on this TV. Blue tones continue to lack consistency in these edge lit Samsung LEDs, To dial in close to D6500 follow the following picture settings: Click here for extended notes and technical information regarding calibration.
Remote Control/Menu Functionality: The backlit push button remote control for the 55C7000 is simple, basic and straightforward without the flash of the highest end Samsung models. This standard remote control contains a discrete button called P. Size for changing the video aspect ratio. The overlaid Menu system is very attractively laid out and thorough, but slow and cumbersome to navigate.
Audio Output: Sound volume levels seem weak from the 15W X 15W built in speakers. We alsoknow the challenges for speaker placement in a 1.2″ deep TV. For a majority of programming changing the mode to movie, and utilizing the Clear Voice feature will help a lot to improve voice tone in DVD and broadcast material. SRS True Surround is a useful feature for HD content but it doesn’t help voice tone. Overall, audio delivery from the UN55C7000 was slightly better than last years model, which was not impressive.
Features: The Samsung UN55C7000 is loaded with extra features, some surprising, others more useful. AutoMotionPlus “240Hz” Refresh Rate: This is a true 240Hz with greatly reduces motion lag and judder in sports programming. But that’s the only format for which we recommend it. Media Play: Use this feature connected through USB to keep picture and video files. Clear Voice, SRS and Movie sound options are listed above under Audio Output. PQ has been prepared in the 3-D features of the new. Click here for an overview of all the new features on this TV.
Internet Connectivity: The 55C7000 series expands the list of potential Internet partners with Blockbuster, USA Today, Netflix, VUDU on Demand, as well as the previously offered Yahoo news, Flickr, Twitter, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Video. These options are nice improvements from last years package and make it more viable. Response time is still a little slow when clicking on the various options. This feature is wireless with an optional accessory.
You could not believe the quality of the 3D movie, it seemed better than seeing it in the movie theater. One of the main things that sold me on this TV was the outstanding quality of the 3D pictures…one of the best You’ve ever seen. The images are crystal clear and the definition is superb! Thanks for Samsung for bringing this futuristic entertaintment to reality in our time. Just be patient and wait for all the wonderful content entertainment that will be flooding the marketing very soon.
