Great Unit.
We have the UN55B7100WF which has the internet capabilities over the standard 7000 if I am correct. The picture quality is unreal for this whole line of TV's. The 1.177" thickness of the unit is amazing. I am blown away at the quality with the standard Cable box which only displays at 1080i instead of 1080p. I haven't tried a blueray player yet, but I am certain that it will surpass all my expectations. This is the first addition to our Home theater. The speakers on the unit are decent, but not home theater quality, but with even that said, I still rate this TV as a 5 out of 5. Very pleased and impressed with this unit.

Great price! Great TV! and about delivery, quick start and Wii
We're usually Sony TV buyers but got sold on the LED idea when we saw how great the screen picture is when viewing from the side - not distorted. Sony does have LED but it is still new which means still expensive. The Samsung 7000 came out a year ago so is now half of what it cost last year! (Now that there is already an 8000.) The 7000 is the same as the 7100 sold in Best Buy except for the frame or something minor. Through Amazon, as of last week, we got this for 300 dollars less than buying local, no tax and no delivery charges - super deal, couldn't resist, though this is the most expensive thing we've ever bought on Amazon.

Delivery was very good. Amazon advertises that the TV can be at your place in 3 days. For us, that meant it was in our city in 2 days. The delivery company didn't call us on checkout but did call us the day after it got to our city (4 days). They gave a 3 hour window for the next day which is pretty good and were here as they said (Got TV in 5 days from ordering.) Brought the TV just where we wanted it. Didn't unpack it because it was cold? They said to wait 2 hours. I'm no expert so I don't know if that was the truth or an excuse. But they were really nice. They gave instructions on unpacking and keeping the packing in case of a return or exchange.

Quick start is quick! Out of the box, plug, find channels and go! Already mounted on a stand out of the box. Love the picture as is without fine tuning. The back is designed maybe a little too slim, though. Not much space to get the connection for an ordinary cable in - had to squeeze it in its slot - couldn't use the screw type with no space to screw it in. There's much more space for HD connections which we don't have. Maybe when we add a blu-ray, etc.

Viewing distance with LED truly doesn't matter as the local sales guys say. We were afraid 55 would be too big for a 6-8 feet distance but it isn't.

Wii - if you don't already have one, you may need an HD-Wii cable (35 at gamestop, maybe cheaper elsewhere, plus there are 3rd party types). The original Wii cable has only 3 connections; you need the 5. Without it, we had sound, no color and fuzzy images. With it, and with Wii settings - Screen - TV resolution set to 480p, great!

This is Day 1 and we're loving it!

Great Decision
After an exhaustive research project of about 1 month I came to the conclusion that the UN55B7000 was for us. We were replacing a Sony WEGA 42" projection LCD HDTV that was suffering from the dreaded blue smoke/cloud caused by the optical block. After using the new Samsung for a few days now I must say WOW, what a huge difference. We weren't reacting to the truely spectacular picture quality because of our Sony problems but because the details this screen shows out performed our Sony when it was new. 5 years of technology improvement really shows through in the 7000.

If you are reading this then you are where I was in th beginning wondering which one is right for you and your family. Well look no further this is the ticket. You might read about the shiny/glossy screen causing problems, well my living room is brightly lit in the morning with the large picture window facing east which is perpendicular to the TV, we have no issues with the glossy screen. In fact we both commented on how the picture looks brighter than the Sony did in the morning.

I've not hooked up the widgets so won't speak to them, although I have to admit I'm not in a hurry as we aren't interested in checking the weather with a widget or updating our Facebook from the TV. Plus the laptop is in the other room for those activities, in addition we have a PS3 that can do that as well, more or less.

If you are still undecided I suggest visiting [...] as you will find a wealth of information from the members of this great audio visual forum. Your brain will melt from the information but you will go away knowing what to do, I believe.

Enjoy your new Samsung as we are enjoying ours.
