Live From CES: You’re Looking Thinner
The Runway Supermodel of HD Televisions
Flat screen televisions are getting thinner and thinner as we will practically be painting your next generation television right onto the wall. This latest TV from Samsung is only .2″ deep.
That razor-thin frame significantly out-slims the 2010 champ, LG’s 7/8-inch-bezel LE8500/LX9500, and allows Samsung to make statements like “consumers can enjoy the 55-inch screen in the same space of most 52-inch TVs.” It’s so thin the controls have to be mounted behind the TV–although front-facing indicators make them easy enough to use.
In addition to its design chops, the UND7000 improves upon the step-down UND6400 models with a few extras. It offers a 240Hz refresh rate and the company says it has improved 3D performance significantly over 2010 models.
The D7000 has an edge-lit LED back-light, but we saw no mention in Samsung’s press materials whether it shares the same Motion Adaptive Dimming found on the step-down D6400 series. The step-up D8000 offers improved local dimming from an edge-lit configuration, according to Samsung.
The materials do specify that the D7000 series adds a Web browser and built-in Wi-Fi to the D6400′s Smart TV suite of Internet options, which includes new features like “universal” search and a recommendation engine in addition to numerous Samsung Apps. The D7000 lacks the touch-screen remote found on the D8000.
Samsung UND7000 series features:
- Edge-lit LED backlight
- 3D compatible
- Supports Bluetooth 3D active glasses
- 240Hz refresh rate
- Samsung Apps with universal search and web browser
- Built-in Wi-Fi
