Looking at the Samsung UE55B7020

By Dwight Monroe

Taking a Look at The Samsung UE55B7020 LCD TV reveals a liquid crystal display television sets that is almost stunningly thin and extremely elegant looking in its presentation. This is so because the manufacturer has placed LEDs or light admitting diodes around the edges to serve as the backlight media. There's no evidence of picture blur along those edges, by the way, which is what LEDs are famous for.

As stated in the model description, this UE55B7020 television set presents itself in 55 inches of glory. It also has a resolution capability of 1920x1080. Samsung uses its proprietary wide color enhancer (WCE) to drive the LED engine that helps to make the backlighting on the screen so nice. Its own motion plus capability is driven via 100 Hz, and the LEDs -- and no fluorescent tubes -- make it all possible.

Using LEDs allows TVs of this size to be much more efficient, energy-wise, than LCD TVs that use fluorescent tubes as backlight. Because the UE55B7020 tv has LEDs television up along the edges of the screen, the TV itself can be much thinner than standard LCD TVs that make use of more traditional methods of backlighting. Generally, this means classic fluorescent tubes.

When it comes to multimedia and networking features, there is no end to such features within this UE55B7020 TV. Just about every expert who has ever evaluated it has said that the Samsung network functionality capabilities are first rate, and helped to make this TV really stand out. It can be networked to a PC through standard Ethernet or via use of a wireless adapter for home wireless networks.

Wireless capability is handled through one of several USB ports that come standard with the UE55B7020 TV. In order to take advantage of the capabilities, the personal computer that is being used must have DLNA software on it, but Samsung has thoughtfully included certain software with the set to make this possible. Also, the TV plays video, music and multimedia files through a handy USB port.

To present a very vivid picture, Samsung uses the same panels that one can find on flat-panel computer monitors starting in 2006. The crispness and richness of the image presented through such a panel is of extremely high quality. Samsung's proprietary name for such a panel is an "Ultra-Clear." For sure, colours and depth of field on the UE55B7020 are outstanding because of this panel.

The UE55B7020 set comes standard with a high quality surround sound system that includes Dolby Digital Plus and what Samsung refers to as a Trusurround SRS HD. There is also an RMS unit that comes with a nice woofer and 15 watts of sound power. Along with all that, but Samsung has other nice features such as a smart content manager and auto volume leveller contained within it.

When seriously considering the Samsung UE55B7020 LCD TV it means that one will have gained a realisation that one will probably be buying not only the thinnest LCD tv set on the market but also one of the most elegant looking. Its use of light emitting diodes along the edges and other technologies -- which don't come cheap, by the way -- means that one will be buying a set of extremely high quality.
