| Introduction |
| Editorial Note: This is a review of the Samsung UN46B7100. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the Samsung 7 series. The Samsung 7 series also includes the UN40B7000 and the UN55B7000. Read here for more details on series differences. |
 The UN46B7100 is part of Samsung's line of internet-capable LED backlit LCD HDTVs. The TV runs 1080p and is a mere 1.2 inches thick. The TV can also access a decent amount of online content, most notably Yahoo! offerings such as Flickr. The TV also has a 120Hz cherry on top.
The main sticking point is the TV's price, however, which is a staggering $2,800. |
