The Samsung UE55B7020 - An Initial Review

By Karen Puckett

Taking a Look at The Samsung UE55B7020 LCD TV reveals a liquid crystal display tvs 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.

The UE55B7020 television set itself measures a very nice 55 inches and has a resolution in its picture field of 1920x1080. It makes use of the Samsung-proprietary WCE (wide colour enhancer) to push that LED engine. It can do so because it has a 100 Hz video capability in its motion plus, which is another Samsung proprietary function. There are no inexpensive fluorescent tubes used to backlight; only LEDs.

Generally speaking, the use of light emitting diodes also means that this UE55B7020 television set is far more energy efficient. Because these LEDs can be arranged around the edge of the screen, the tv's casing, therefore, is much thinner than in those TVs that make use of traditional technologies for backlighting, meaning those fluorescent tubes.

There is a wide range of sophisticated multimedia and network features contained within this particular Samsung UE55B7020, by the way. Most experts say that the network functionality of this TV is what really televisions it apart. This model can be connected to a network of PCs through use of a standard Ethernet cable. It can also be connected via a wireless adapter for wireless PC networks.

There are a number of ports, including USB, that comes standard with this particular Samsung. Any personal computer that will be hooked to it must have a DLNA software package installed on it, but Samsung has taken care to include network interfacing software with this package. In addition to everything else, the UE55B7020 TV can play music, video and most any other multimedia file through one of those USB ports.

To create the vivid pictures that the UE55B7020 television set displays, Samsung has gone out and created the same sort of picture panel that started being featured back in 2006 on most flat-panel LCD computer monitors. This allows the television set to present extremely clear and crisp images. The Samsung name for the panel is, of course, the "Ultra-Clear Panel." Colours and richness are first rate all round.

The UE55B7020 television 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.

The Samsung UE55B7020 LCD TV features a very nice LED backlight function that helps to make this television set among the thinnest of any on the market. At 55 inches, sitting down in front of it is almost like sitting down and watching a movie in a theatre. It has extremely nice surround sound capabilities, and the price -- while not inexpensive -- is still within the market for TVs of this sort.
