Pros: Full 1080P, 240HZ, 1 inch thick, 3D ready and swivel stand.

I’m not into having to spend $[...] bucks for glasses so the 3D really doesn’t concern me and I’m not going to run a line for the internet so the internet tv isn’t going to be used. bottom line on this set is the outstanding picture. Even my hidef cable service blows me away and on Blu-ray it’s a killer. I know I paid top dollar for a new model but using coupon code WS920X5750 at exponj saved me $272.64 ! If you have been setting on the fence check out the UN46C7000 and you’ll be off that fence as fast as I was.

Cons: Price, internet tv, too many bells and whistles

Got this set a week ago, its the third Samsung LED in the house (but the first 3D). Hung it on the wall, and immediately noticed a red line stretching from the top of the picture to the bottom, regardless of which input you use. Obviously not pleased, but I understand these things can happen. I’ve read the horror stories about Samsung customer service. I just called to log my issue. So far, so good. Ignoring the red line for a moment, the picture quality is excellent. The set is incredibly thin and light. Assuming the outcome of the customer service experience is favorable, this rating will go up to 5.

If you purchase this item make sure that you outfit it with the very best. I purchased a expensive Monster 3D HDMI cable and I suggest that you do the same. I actually didn’t want to after I saw how much I was spending on this purchase but then I was talked into it because I had the 3D TV and the 3D blu ray so I said what the hell I might as well get the 3D HDMI. Boy am I glad I spent the extra money for the cable. Just watching normal blu ray DVD’s, the picture quality is so life like it is ridiculous. When watching a 3D DVD it was so awesome to be able to see the items popping out of the TV. Also the ability to up-convert 2D DVD’s to 3D was so awesome. I popped in the 300 blu ray DVD and up-converted it to 3D and it was still pretty awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it.

The only thing that I would suggest with a 3D TV purchase is to make sure that your couch is back far enough to get a clear picture. If you are to close to the TV you will see the double vision but if you are back far enough it will be gone.

Great product: excellent picture quality (in HD), great design, great apps (LOVE the Netflix app- quality is unsurpassed) and great remote. Only complaint really is that unless the black level is set so low that the tv is unviewable during the day, there is somewhat significant backlight bleedthrough on large black areas- and not only at the corners or edges. On black title screens there is an odd mottled effect from the uneven blockage of backlighting.

Other than this one problem, which I understand is corrected somehow in the current 8000 series, I couldn’t be happier with my purhchase.

One of the best tv I have seen. The surface of the tv is glossy an beautiful. The design looked like it was designed by apple. The back of the panels have enough ports for you to play in anything. I have an 55 inch Vizio LCD and this samsung LED completely destroys the Vizio LCD in quality. It is so light and thin that I lifted upstairs myself. Refresh rate is so high that the pictures looked fake (in a good way). Buying this is like having an art peice in your room. Even the remote controls are state of the art design. It looks metallic and expensive. When my girls come over they look at it and play with it cause it looks that good.

WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS FOR THE 3D. Buy it for the LED TV. This 3D is the worst I have seen. The quality for 3D is so poor that I invited 4 friends over the see it. One got dizzy, the other ones said the picture looks fuzzy. Which is true, they blur the background making the image quality fuzzy just to create a 3D effect that is garbarge to my eyes. If I stared at it for too long my eyes might bleed. I hope this is a firmware issue and that samsung can eventually update this technology…. Even with the “free” 3D glasses they gave me, I can honestly say it was not worth it.

4 Stars for the LED TV. ZERO stars for the 3D technology Samsung invented.

Fantastic picture quality! Easy to set up and use. Shippers were great, unpacked the TV and made sure it worked before they left. The only complaint is I spent my 1st whole night wondering why all my shows looked the Soap Operas. Turns out this is caused by Samsung “Auto Motion Plus” feature that adds extra calculated frames to the video stream. Turning this off made the picture look as I expected (i.e. Law and Order’s proper gritty/jerky camera motion when the detectives are on the street). When this mode is off the tv is still running at 240Hz, but shows the same frames unaltered over and over just like the movie theater does rather than trying to “make stuff up” in between frames. I now only turn on the “Auto Motion Plus” when watching hockey.

At te begin I thought it was a bit expensive, even when AMAZON offered the best price, but when I received the TV I was really impressed. First looks really smart and incredibly thin (less than one inch!), is definitely beautiful. The picture quality is spectacular, when you look at high definition channels cannot believe the sharpness, colors, etc. 3D function is great and even when the supply of these movies are limited, the offer will increase rapidly. In short, the best of tecnology (including internet connection) in a beautiful design. About the sound, is pretty decent, you cannot expect 1000 watts of power (for that are home theaters). For those who love television the spending is more than justified! Definitely I recommend it.

First Samsung LED is GREAT- so much brighter than an LED. Amazon delivery included “white glove” – meaning it was carried into house, unpacked, plugged in and operated. Great service. My UN46C7000 does not have backlighting like the 8000, but we can not see any difference. But the 240Hz refresh rate does give a better picture than even the 120Hz.

I use a powerline wired internet connection (PLK300) and Windows 7 (Intel i7-920) – I set up a shared homegroup for videos, photos and music on my PC and Samsung instantly knew it was there. I have no need to use the Samsung DLNA software, as Windows 7 does it all for me. I record TV and etc on my PC and Samsung plays them; even pauses and rewinds and fast forwards!! I tried wireless (using AE1000 adapter) it was good but not as fast as the powerline wired connection. Setting up Pandora and other apps is amazingly simple.

The 3D glasses do not work well in brightly lighted area (ours kept going in / out of 3D) – called Samsung and they were going to send someone out to investigate!! I declined their offer, because when we closed the shades to block the bright sunlight the glasses worked OK.

Recommendation – get the 240Hz refressh, no need for backlighting, no need to load Samsung’s DLNA software manager onm your computer. The powerline ethernet PLK300 is sooo easy to use.

I own several Samsung products and have been pleased with each one. I have also read of the horror stories of working with Samsung customer support and must say in my case all were proved false. I did my homework and was waffling between the UN46C7000 and the UN46C6300, thought for the extra money the 7000, 3D Blu-Ray Player and starter kit would be a fun addition to the house. The TV showed up as promised on the day I arranged, eagerly put it all together, inserted the 3D movie Monsters vs Aliens…it didn’t work. Just got a blured image. What to do? My first thought was to return it to Amazon and start all over. But, decided to give Samsung a chance to correct the problem. The TV worked fine in 2D it just lacked the 3D and wow what a picture, it truly is crystal clear. The Blu-Ray disk player (BD-C6900) is awesome as well, a little pricey, but fast! Well the call to customer service went well, started with the standard card flipping problem solver who quickly passed me to technical support. He had me run through a battery of problem solving checks and decided a visit from a technician was necessary. Got the call the following day for a visit the next day and get this “When it was convenient for me”! I’m a teacher so it’s not really easy to up and take a day for the usual “I’ll be there between Noon and 7:00″ appointment. He showed up at 5:00 ran through a series of tests, no not much different than the one’s I ran through with the phone tech, but I guess he had to confirm the previous tests. Still no 3D. He needed to make contact with Samsung about his findings. Early the next week he returned, (yes, again when convenient) and found that I had at best a failed IR transciever or worse a failed main board. Got a call Monday of the next week that parts were ordered and an appointment was made for Thursday to make the repair. The tech showed up again and I now have 3D. So from beginning to end we waited a little more than 4 weeks to have the 3D but wow, it really is impressive. Yep, I know it’s a gimmick and there are few movies to support the feature but Blu-Ray movies and HD television look spectacular and I would recommend the UN46C7000 on that alone. If I were to have one wish granted it would be to include built-in Wi-Fi instead of the add on stick, come on Samsung I paid a premium for this TV!

If I had it to do all over would I buy this television again? Yes, but I had a working 2D television with a broken 3D feature. If the TV had shown up totally broken I might had a more negative review. Oh and at the advice of the technician I extended the warranty 2 years, just to be on the safe side.

This TV is really amazing. the blacks are perfectly black (no light from the screen is emitted from black areas) the colors are vibrant. the picture is super crisp. my only complaint is the sound from the TV is quite. I have changed multiple settings and yet we still sometimes have problems hearing soft dialog. we are looking to invest in a 2.1 sound bar to enhance the sound a little more. I have this with the 3D BluRay player from Samsung and frankly we never watch anything in 3D. the Nintendo Wii is sometimes a little fun to watch in 3D but I found it took a little too long for the TV to process the video quick enough to get accurate response with the remote and it quickly becomes annoying. overall I still feel this is one of the best TVs out there
