Samsung UN55B7100 LED HDTV Review

Topic:

Samsung UN55B7100 LED HDTV Review Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review The 55-inch Samsung is the top LED TV in the Samsung 7 series. Compared to the UN55B7000 the UN55B7100 features 3,000,000:1 Mega Contrast. Besides that I could not find a difference besides the difference in the frame color.
Of course the Samsung UN55B7100 (MSRP $3,599.99) is not as advanced as the current ultimate LED HDTV from Samsung. The Samsung UN55B8500 (MSRP $4,499.99) has a 7,000,000:1 Mega Contrast and 240Hz instead of 120Hz.
To see if the Samsung UN55B7100 is still a great choice for an LED TV consult this review just posted by HardwareCanucks.

Samsung UN55B8000 LED HDTV Review Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review We reported about the top of the line Samsung LED HDTV UN55B8000 already a couple of times. Now there is also the new Samsung UN55B8500 which is actually the new Ultimate LED TV, featuring a higher contrast ratio of 7,000,000:1.
Last week we looked at the huge discounts that are already offered on the Samsung UN55B8000 LED HDTV. Tweaknews has tested the 55-inch Samsung LED HDTV UN55B8000 and published this in-depth review.

Quote from the review: "After over a month and a half of daily use, the Samsung UN55B8000 can be summed up as a mixed bag of great and not so great characteristics. The first thing to mention and the distinguishing feature is the 1.2 inch depth profile. There is no consumer grade TV this side of perhaps an OLED display that at the time of this review is as thin as this model. Read more
