My father was recently hospitalized and is now spending much more time in bed than before. Moving the large TV into his bedroom was not an option, so I purchased this from a local retailer. The following notes are after a couple of days usage.

Pros: this is a very compact unit and is not too heavy. It fits on a hospital bed table (like this one: Hospital Overbed/Over Bed Top Table Computer Tray ). This allows his caregivers to move the TV to easy viewing distance and is a real plus. I was concerned that the unit would be unbalanced, but the weighted base is more stable than I originally imagined. It seemed like it took a long time to find all the channels on his cable system during the initial setup, although I have not done this often enough with other TVs to judge. Finally, the basic controls are on the left side of the unit, and the TV can be operated without the remote.

Cons: The remote is not designed for use by an older person with declining eyesight. The controls on the side have no contrasting labels, only labels molded into the black plastic, and unless you have good lighting, it is difficult to use them. In my fathers case, the caregivers will probably be the only ones who can operate the TV.

One additional point, which was a pro for my situation. The plug is two-prong polarized, which works with my father’s very old electrical wiring. A three-prong plug would have been a problem for me.

In our case, I placed the unit near the riser for the over bed table. This left a lot of space for other things if needed.

Recommended for anyone who wants a decent quality, small footprint TV.

This is an awesome TV despite some of the negative comments you may read. I have to mention that Amazon offers quality products, same as your local store (Best Buy, Sears, etc.) but at much more cheaper prices. Their service is excellent, super fast shipping and no surprises as far as the product condition and/or description, you can rest assure that you get right original product every time.
Back to the TV, looks beautiful On or Off. The contrast ratio is AMAZING, super blacks and pure whites, the quality of the image is superb! Just make sure you have HD content available to really appreciate the picture quality. No problems so far with corner light issues, you will have to be extremely picky and force yourself to find this type of issue. Samsung has the best design in the market, so thin, lightweight and energy efficient, it produces NO heat whatsoever.
Perhaps the only negative is the speaker sound, it’s not great but good enough for regular TV programming. However, this is not a problem to me, I have always used a home theatre system for music concerts or movies with all the TV’s I have owned.
The 120Hz motion effect is very cool; it may not work with all types of programming but for nature or sport events is pretty neat! The good thing about it is that you decide when to turn it on or off or how much of it you want.
I will definitely recommend this TV.

Received my Samsung 55 LED 7000 TV 1 hour ago and I am ecstatic. 99.00 no interest for 24 mos., free shipping in 3 days and no 8 1/2% tax. This is 0 better then best local at Frys. and with tax savings and delivery charge!! Was delivered by Pilot Transport. They wheeled it into my living room, unpacked, set it up on my fireplace and hooked up cable and electric. Took about 15 minutes. I am 70+ yrs old and can not lift or use my hands well. The man from Pilot, Orlando Amayas, was really nice and above and beyond in his service.

I read the quick setup guide and ran it through time set, channel scan and started watching.

Picture is brilliant!! Have in a well lit area and cabine is beautiful Love the controls and the little mini-remote. This is a replacement for my Samsung 40″ HD that is three yrs old and now destined to my home office.

I looked at the 8500, 8000, and the 7000 side by side at Frys. I really couldn’t see any significant difference so the 240HZ at bigger bucks didn’t make any sense to me. My son has the 8500 and he is a sports nut and says he can see the difference but of course with much younger eyes. Do the side by side your self and see what you think for yourself. If any changes or problems I will update this. For now, I am a happy camper in Houston. Go Aggies!!!

Man oh man is the other review to harsh. Andrew B. Leetham must be the biggest perfectionist in the world. I’m a HUGE perfectionist when it comes to HDTV’s and owned the UN55B8500 before this one and must say… THIS TV ROCKS!

The quality of the UN55C7000 is almost exactly the same with only minor blooming of colors when the screen is completely dark. I also see what Andrew is talking about with the LED edge-lighting issue… But honestly, it doesn’t ruin my viewing experience AT ALL! As for the 3D issue, Andrew is only speculating his own opinion on that. I honestly can’t say whether the edge-lighting will effect 3D cause you can’t yet, the glasses are not available for purchase!

I have to tell you though going from the UN55B8500 to this set wasn’t really that hard for me, PLUS, when those 3D glasses come out I’m hoping all these truly minimal glitches which Andrew is making a big deal about will all dissolve. I am a HUGE Samsung fan and trust that they have put the time and energy into this television to truly make my jaw drop when those 3D glasses become available. This T.V. also added a few really cool features for the new year so to give it a 3 star rating is WAAAAAY harsh.

I gave it a 5 just for being able to hold it’s own next to the UN55B8500. The only slight issue is the edge-lighting, which incidentally, isn’t even a HUGE deal or a deal breaker to non-perfectionists. It’s an amazing TV which I feel should be welcomed with open arms from any tech savvy individual who loves new technology!
