Samsung UE46C7000 Review

Samsung’s new television model, UE46C7000, offers an innovative concept despite our surprisingly modern world of technology, and it’s something people have been waiting for: three dimensional television. Since the emergence of 3D technology in 1953, movie enthusiasts have experienced many different three dimensional movies from inside of the walls of the downtown movie theater. Because of the commencement of Samsung’s UE46C7000, however, an everyday audience can enjoy the movie they loved when it was in the movie theater, even the movies that were in 3D, without leaving their home.

Samsung’s new LED TV set is totally enabled for viewing 3D films and comes with its own 3D wireless transmitter, which means 3D can be viewed immediately.

The TV offers an improvement in internet capability, the ability to connect to Wi-Fi, and gives access to “Internet@TV”, which lets television users reach certain online content; for example, BBC’s iPlayer and the capability to rent movies on the internet and even play them from Lovefilm online straight to the TV in their living rooms.

BBC’s iPlayer is a television and internet player that gives viewers the chance to catch up on up to a week’s worth of BBC Radio and TV. Lovefilm, a DVD rental company from Britain, offers movies which viewers can rent completely online and then view them on a computer. Using the Samsung UE46C7000, some of these movies will be accessible to view on the TV as well.

The UE46C7000 connects to the Samsung Apps Portal as well, offering access to Samsung’s App storage and store and makes them available to see on the TV screen. One can also attain PVR functionality by using a memory port or a USB external hard drive: one only needs to insert a portable device to begin to record TV programs directly into that device.

An average PAL television alters the rate of images at a rate of fifty frames per second or Fifty Hz. The eye can sometimes be receptive of this frequency, especially when it is dark; it will sometimes notice a flicker on Fifty Hz televisions. A One hundred Hz television shows twice the amount of frames, but quick-moving pictures may still appear to have a slight flicker. Samsung’s new set uses Two hundred Hz motion technology, delivering fast-motion sequences with a smooth, natural and fluid image, ensuring that the picture remains sharp. It also contains a Freeview HD tuner, which means users have immediate access to HD channels without difficulty.

The TV is also able to show 2D movies. The way it creates the three-dimensional image viewing for the audience? Samsung uses an Active Shutter or Frame Sequential system. One must by 3D viewing glasses separately to be able to correctly view 3D movies. The name of these glasses are “3D Active Glasses, ” and are designed to fit over corrective glasses.

The Active Glasses work first by blocking one eye, then the other in order to create an illusion of depth in 3D for the observer. The glasses come in different types: one option is rechargeable, and the other runs on batteries. They have been deemed safe by the group of Glasses Standardization of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), therefore approving them for use on other models of 3D TVs as well.

Samsung came out with the UE40C7000 in the UK recently. The UE46C7000 has a 46 inch screen rather than the 40 inch screen released in the UK.
