Samsung UE46F7000ST Pro Reviews

It’s not the best Samsung TV available, but the F7000 comes very close

The Samsung UE46F7000′s picture is every bit as composed as that we’d seen (and praised) on the flagship F8000 series. HD content looked rich yet natural thanks to the comprehensive array of calibration controls provided which allowed us to nail greyscale and colours down to a tee; standard-definition processing was top-notch but for a slight hiccup in maintaining lock on 2:2 cadence; and 3D presentation was plenty bright, gloriously full-res, and wonderfully free of flicker. Input lag in excess of 40ms may deter hardcore gamers demanding lightning-fast response from their HDTVs, and just like the F8000, the Samsung F7000 does not support 24fps playback natively in 3D mode (i.e. there’ll be a bit of judder visible which can be smoothened by engaging [Motion Plus], but at the expense of introducing soap opera effect). But for users who do not wish to stretch their budget to the F8000 (or do not have the space to accommodate the arc stand), the UE46F7000 is a perfectly viable alternative.
