Samsung UE46D7000 Pro Reviews

The UE46D7000 has a great assortment of picture calibration controls which allow the LCD panel’s output to be adjusted to within an inch of its life, resulting in images that are realistically coloured. Additionally, this 3DTV is capable of some very appealing 3D images: Samsung has seemingly performed miracles and has brought crosstalk artefacting down to “mildly irritating” levels, a huge improvement on first-generation 3D LCD attempts. The D7000 produces a consistently coloured, full resolution image in 3D mode, with little in the way of unwanted artefacts. Crosstalk has always been the biggest weakness of LCD-based 3D TVs, but if it’s being cleaned up at this fast a rate, it seems that LCD will certainly be able to hold its own when it comes to tri-dimensional images.

So by now it’s clear the UE46D7000 is a formidable TV with talent to burn. The price difference between it and the LG 47LW650T makes us feel the LG represents even better value, but if you’re in the market for a premium product that features premium looks alongside premium performance, the D7000 is the TV for you.

While last year’s Samsung 7000 models represented a significant step down in quality from its 8000 models, this year’s D7000 models are all-but identical. Which is to say they give you the same outstanding performance level for around £100 less in a slightly less flash but still lovely design. In other words, they’re another reason for the 2011 competition to feel really rather scared...

The UE46D7000 gets your attention right from the off. Its bezel-free design is remarkable, the connections are generous and the newly designed onscreen menus, complete with impressive onscreen and interactive instructions manual, are a breeze to use.
