Samsung has mastered the art of edge LED backlighting to create the 7000 series, which is really just the first wave of a three-pronged 3D invasion that will include the 8000 series plasmas and the flagship 9000 series über telly. But 3D aside, this impressive slice of TV tech is bursting with next-gen features that also include a Freeview HD tuner, HDMI version 1.4 sockets and a raft of new online apps.
How the 3D works and performs:
With the TV auto detecting the 3D material, you're prompted to put on the 3D specs by an onscreen message. The glasses sync with the infrared emitter on the TV automatically, the image flickers and then takes on a new kind of depth as the objects on screen seem to appear both in front of and behind the frame of the TV. Spaceships seemingly hover in the room, while galaxies stretch into the distance and planets loom half in and half out of the screen.
Design and aesthetics:
It certainly looks like a premium set too. There's something innately impressive about a very thin telly and it looks even better with the tapering glossy bezel and chrome stand. The stand is actually plastic, but you really wouldn't guess. Another nice design flourish is the set of touch-sensitive controls that illuminate within the mirrored strip beneath the screen and are only visible when you brush them with your finger.
Price: $2000(including 2 pairs of 3D glasses)
