Initial Views on the UE55B7020: By far the most striking attribute of the UE55B7020 is its thickness. Less than 1.5 inches - stunning when you first see it. Samsung has done well by ensuring that everything you could do with is built-in in the package, unlike some of its competitors who sometimes move key components out to a separate box that you have to find space for. It also looks very modern, with a prominent black surround and a stylish transparent neck between the display and the base.

Audio: In common with nearly all modern TVs the sound output of the UE55B7020 is poor quality. The UE55B7020 is too thin to permit the inclusion of a sound system to begin to match its fantastic screen. Look to linking it up to a separate sound system to get reasonable sound to hope to match up the picture quality.

Screen Quality: This is the key plus of the UE55B7020 over its competitors, in that it has replaced fluorescent backlighting with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The backlighting technology in this TV is ahead of its time, being incorporated in the edge of the screen to improve performance and keep the thickness down. However, the UE55B7020 remains a LCD Television. LED backlighting is supposed to have the following benefits:

* This technology gives a much more reliable backlight across the television, as it uses a grid structure.

* Only plasma TVs have created faultless blacks until now - this enables LCD ones to do so as well.

* Sports and further fast moving action look better as the television responds more rapidly.

* The colour palette is wider.

Connections: The UE55B7020 has all the ports to link to other appliances and computers that most of us are likely to want - an LAN port, 2 USB ones and 4 HDMI connections. The LAN one allows the UE55B7020 to retrieve files on your computer set-up that you might wish to utilize. And the USB ports allow many file formats to be played when a USB stick is inserted. As well as facilitating a wireless connection to your home network - a separate dongle is needed for this.

There are in fact two remotes. The principle one curves over at one end (planned to rest on an sofa arm?). A tad bizarre to hold at first, but you get used to it. The second, smaller remote just allows volume power and channel changes.

Energy Efficiency: LEDs make use of a great deal less power (between 100W and 130W) than the usual fluorescent backlighting so the television will be less expensive to operate than its competitors.

To Summarise: If you look at Samsung UE55B7020 reviews you will see that most believe that it is remarkable television in what will undoubtedly be one of a novel generation of LED backlit TVs.
