The Samsung UN40C7000 is one of the smallest LED LCD television by Samsung that also boasts HDTV and 3D capabilities. It’s size and dimensions mean that it is perfect for the smaller rooms of the house or a smaller residence.

The main selling point of this TV is the sharp colours and brilliant contrast created by the LCD LED screen. Its blacks are rich and the colours are vibrant. The LED edge-lit screen has many advantages over its predecessors. For starters its power consumption is very low. The whole Samsung range of these LED TV’s far exceed Energy Star ratings.

The main problem with other flat screen televisions is the juddering effect that appears on some high action sequences. The Samsung UN40C7000 attempts to combat this with some new technology. For starters, there is a 240Hz refresh rate. This means that the picture is smooth enough even for use with 3D, which uses shutter technology. The Samsung UN40C7000 also automatically chooses the correct resolution when viewing blu-ray DVD, as this can differ slightly depending in the movie.

The Samsung UN40C7000 is enhanced by a built in surround sound system. It has speakers built into the bezel frame. Two of the speakers are at the base of the frame to enhance bass sounds. This is supported by 10 watts of power and there are 2 audio channel settings too.

Connects to the internet via wires or wireless

The new generation of flatscreen TV’s are now being built with internet capabilities. The Samsung UN40C7000 is no exception. There is a well placed ethernet port and wireless capabilities. This means that the Samsung UN40C7000 can directly compete with other internet TV’s.

Other internet facilities are also available. The Samsung UN40C7000 comes with internet@TV facilities and is Skype enabled. The Samsung Apps platform is also available which means that up to date news and weather from the internet is available at the click of a button. The wireless capabilities also mean that video and music streaming are available on your TV.

The 3D TV capabilities are there but it is currently difficult to experience the full value as TV and movie makers are not producing much 3D television. This will change, but until then the Samsung UN40C7000 can convert normal 2D TV into 3D. Although not true 3D, this adds a bit of interest for those who like to get the most from their gadgets.

Wall mount the UN40C7000 for that picture frame look

The Samsung UN40C7000 can be wall mounted or you can use the swivel stand that is included in the package. Either way you can situate your TV so that you get the best view of the screen and all it has to offer. The dimensions of the LED TV ensure that whatever you chose, you can fit it where you had your old TV or safely hang it from the wall.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion the Samsung UN40C7000 is a perfect all rounder. The HDTV capabilities give you all the new technology available with only a small energy consumption. It provides great home entertainment but also fits perfectly into everyday life. For its size the quality of the picture and sound are very good and it is definitely one of the best currently available on the market.

Samsung UN40C6300 LED TV Review

November 25, 2010 By 4 Comments

samsung un40c6300 led tv
Over recent years, advances in technology have allowed televisions to offer larger screen sizes while most of the other components have become smaller, producing much slimmer designs with flat screens.

The Samsung UN40C6300 takes the meaning of the word ‘flat’ to a whole new level thanks to the fact that it is an LED TV which measures just 1.2 inches thick and promises big things for the future.

Image quality is of paramount importance to many people, particularly sports fans and movie buffs, so the processing credentials of the Samsung UN40C6300 are worth covering without delay.

120Hz refresh produces blur free images

As you may be aware when things get particularly busy onscreen, during an action sequence or a hectic bit of movement, on lesser TVs you might experience blurring and ghosting which can really spoil your enjoyment.
Samsung has made sure that this does not happen by including Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology. This means that this Samsung LED TV will refresh the image more frequently than the source which it is displaying all the while stitching frames together by inserting its own frames created by analysing those that came before and resulting in a consistently smooth onscreen image.

Outstanding color reproduction plus deep blacks

Contrast ratio is another important aspect of any HDTV’s performance and the Samsung UN40C6300 has a Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio of four million to one.
In layman’s terms this means that the distinction between the bright and dark areas of an onscreen image will be crisper and clearer than in less capable models, which means movies will look natural and just as the director intended.
Colors also benefit from this impressive contrast ratio, so you will be able to enjoy pure hues that are unaffected by those which surround them.

Plenty of connections on the UN40C6300

You will definitely want to make the most of the Samsung UN40C6300 40 inch display and native 1080p full HD resolution by connecting as many HD devices as possible.

There are 4 HDMI inputs for this very purpose and you can plug in a PC or laptop through the D-Sub input, which comes complete with its own audio input.
The presence of two USB 2.0 ports is welcome, allowing you to plug in a memory stick and then access its stored still images and video in your living room.

While the built in speakers will provide ample audio support, you might have your own hi-fi or home cinema system to use in unison with your Samsung UN40C6300, so the availability of the optical digital audio output will benefit those with the right technology.

Power saving features galore

Energy efficiency is a direct attribute of LED technology, which means the Samsung UN40C6300 will consume less electricity and leave less of a carbon footprint than older TVs, making it an ideal upgrade route.

Samsung has made sure that there are other power saving features onboard to minimise wasteful consumption and the smart light sensor is just one of these.
When you have it active it will detect the level of ambient light in the surrounding room and then automatically reduce or increase the intensity of the backlight.
In sunny conditions when the display will be harder to see the brightness will be ramped up, while when the lights are down it will be reduced.

Final Thoughts

The Samsung UN40C6300 is a good-looking, highly capable HD LED TV with impressive imaging technology onboard and plenty of flexible features.
Pros:

  • Superb picture clarity.
  • Power saving features.
  • 4 HDMI ports, PC input (D-sub) plus Audio Digital Optical Out allows plenty of connections to your equipment.

Cons:

  • Lacks Samsung Apps that are available on higher spec panels.
