First Impressions: The earliest thing you see is how thin the UE40B7000 is. Just greater than an inch (and less than 3cm) in depth.Samsung has done well by ensuring that everything you need is incorporated in the package, not like some of its competitors who sometimes move key components out to a discrete box you have to find room for. It also looks good, with a prominent black border and a slim transparent connection between the display and the pedestal.

Audio Quality: On the whole contemporary TVs have poor quality audio outputs and the UE40B7000 is no exception. The thickness of the UE40B7000 is too small to allow a decent audio system. It would be sensible to look at adding a surround audio system.

UE40B7000 Display Quality: This is the foremost plus of the UE40B7000 over its competitors, in that it has replaced fluorescent backlighting with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Not everybody realises that the UE40B7000 is still a LCD Television. it is just the backlighting that’s altered. LEDs have the following advantages:

* An LED backlight technique uses a system of grids to generate a more unvarying backlight across the picture.

* Flawless blacks are achievable - impossible with traditional Televisions.

* Response times (when viewing a rapidly changing picture) are quicker.

* The assortment of colours that can be shown is better.

UE40B7000Connectivity: The UE40B7000 has four HDMI ports, two USB, and a LAN (Local Area Network) one - future proof at present. The LAN one permits the UE40B7000 to open files on your Computer network that you might want to avail yourself of. And the USB connections allow many file formats to be played when a USB stick is put in. As well as facilitating a wireless link to your home network - a separate dongle is required for this.

The Samsung UE40B7000 Remote: The UE40B7000 comes with 2 remote controls. Helpful if one gets misplaced! The bigger one looks fairly weird. It curves over at one end, a bit akin to a shoe horn. Odd to use at first, but OK after a while. Just on / off, volume and channel controls are on the second remote - generally OK for daily use, though.

Expense in use: The UE40B7000 consumes around 115W in use - well below the customary requirement. Less than a watt on standby.

UE40B7000 Review - Wrapping up: Despite having only ordinary sound quality, the UE40B7000 makes gorgeous pictures, with deep blacks and none of the somewhat washed out looks that you can often get in LCD Televisions.
