UN40C7000 The Great LED HDTV From Samsung
UN40C7000 Review
Samsung has endowed three LCD lines and one plasma line of its 2010 models with 3D compatibility, and the least expensive of the bunch is the UN40C7000 series of LED-based LCDs. The company says the series, which should be among the first on the market to feature 3D-readiness, can work with optional 3D glasses to create the 3D effect. An emitter to send such information to the glasses is included on the TV.
The set is agreeable with sevenfold 3D standards, including both half- and full-resolution 3D, as rise as the Blu-ray Plate Relationship’s “Blu-ray 3D” basic. But much activity is destined to be rarified during the nascent propulsion of the new divide, so Samsung also another a 2D-to-3D salvation system. It takes standard 2D content from the TV or other video sources and adds a dimension of depth. The good 3D see gift doubtless be had with true 3D proportionality, but we speculate having the alternative to add added faux magnitude to 2D content gift appeal to many viewers.
Divagation from 3D, the UNC7000 serial offers edge-lit LED backlighting, such similar more of Samsung’s 2008 models. The company’s press material also mentions a new kind of backlight technology said to combine the benefits of local dimming with the thinness of edge-lighting. We asked Samsung’s reps repeatedly to elaborate but got nothing more than that. When we get more information we’ll update this section.
The UNC7000 is also the least-expensive 2010 Samsung LED model with 240Hz processing, so it should exhibit similar motion resolution performance to the company’s UNB8000 series from 2009.
Like most other Samsung models in 2010, the Samsung UN40C7000 will also offer the company’s interactive feature suite, anchored by Internet @ TV (i.e. Yahoo widgets) and Samsung Apps. The widgets should operate similarly to last year’s models’ (although hopefully they’re less sluggish now), while the Apps are Samsung’s new proprietary content portal. As of now, it’s not perfectly clear exactly how it will work; Samsung says that the first free apps will launch in the spring, with premium apps following in the summer. We talked to Samsung’s reps and though official articulate is comfort unobtainable, unofficially they they admitted that Apps similar Vudu and Netflix would be slaveless.
