Official Samsung UNXXD7000 Owners' Thread - Page 24

Either way he got a 60 inch led for under 3k. Unless you buy a Sharp. That's unheard of.

I know the changelog. But I'm just saying that during 3D playback, I'm noticing far more ghosting than on the previous firmware.

There's a Sony that retails in the mid $2000s (this year's model) at least online. Generally well regarded.

I have been reading a lot about the ultra thin Bezel of 0.5 inch, but I assume majority of people are talking about the 55" or the D8000 series. I Just bought a UN60D7000 locally , it does have a 0.5" Clear Acrylic trim on the outer edge and another One inch Black Bezel on the inside, making a total of 1.5". This is not the super thin size I keep reading about and the one I have seen on the D8000 series, in fact it is the same dimension (give or take a millimeter) as my 60" Sharp Quadtron I own.

I would appreciate it if someone can confirm this for me that in fact the bezel on the 60" is different that what everyone keeps talking about or do I have a different model...

Where might this be. a 60inch SONY for under 3K AND be an LED set? I really REALLY doubt that.

Hello everyone I've been doing some research for quite some time now on finding a tv that's going to be used 80% of the time on gaming and the rest on movies(netflix,bluray,etc....). I was wondering how's the input lag on the UN55D7000?

I'm skeptical the bezel on the D7000 totals 1.5". Have you actually measured the black interior piece? I doubt it's wider than the acrylic; at first glance it strikes me as slightly less wide.

Well, doubt it all you want. But you know, if you learned to master the ins and outs of Google and Amazon, you could find a page like this....

And, no, I'm not recommending anyone buy from any specific merchant. I'm just pointing out highly legitimate merchants seem to be offering a 60" LED Sony for less than $3000, which is all I said in the first place.

Wow, that's crazy. I purchased the 52 of that exact set for 2400K when it came out

Anybody know anything about the difference in above models?

Hi all,

I just got the UN55D7000 few days back. I have liked everything on the TV so far but have noticed a few things.

1. There were three scratch lines on my LCD screen. At first look many people said it was a scratch (including me). Using a LCD screen cleaner, I was able to take it out. I feel happy it is gone but unable to say what it was?? It does not affect any display while watching TV.

2. Edge flashlighting - Very visible when my Setup box is not switched on and it is a black screen asking me to switch it on. Or while trying to load apps. I see slight bright LED light just at the edges. I read through the forums and see people seeing that. I reduced the backlight, increased contrast and reduced the brightness and seems to have gone to a good extent. I have to look at it again tonight to verify that.

3. Two vertical lines: There are two vertical lines that exist in my TV when a black screen appears. These two seem to be the point where standard definition viewing ends (one of left side and other on right side) if I am not watching HD. Is this normal to see two vertical lines? Has anyone else seen this. I plan to go to the store and try to see it. I shall upload pics by the end of day.

Thanks.

I have this TV and I must say it is an absolute beast!!!! I am a huge gamer and the game mode in this TV performs really well....there is ZERO lag when I am playing in either 3d or non 3d.....So everyone who is scared of buying due to lag...just use the game mode the tv looks sick and runs amazingly well. Samsung definintely knows there stuff and this TV is just another example for me.....Blu Rays looks amazing very well defined detailed picture with accurate blacks and colors, games look sicks, and tv even has more of a pop to it than other leds I have seen. Trust me...buy this set you will not be dissapointed at all!!!!

I got my UN60D7000 delivered yesterday from Amazon.

Setup was a breeze (All I had to do was attach the base and connect HDMI from my receiver - everything else was already setup). I ignored all the network setup for now. I already have a network receiver, Apple TV, HTPC, networked BDplayer .

Out of the box, the settings were pretty bright and I punched in calibration settings from UN55D7000 amazon comment thread.

I saw the following
1. Pirates of the caribbean Bluray, 2. LOTR EE Bluray
2. Inception HD broadcast in Uverse
3. Some 1080p content from Apple TV (downsampled to 720p by AppleTV)

Initial impression:

BD content and the Apple TV content: Striking picture with delicious colors. I still havent done any additional calibration, but I can see what this TV is capable of. The bezel and the general aesthetics of this TV are an added bonus.

However, the Uverse content was not so good


Now the Issues:
1. Clouding/Flash lighting - As everyone have indicated, this TV has quite a bit of clouding and is very apperent in pitch black room. I dropped the backlight to 9 and it helped some . But I can see the light on left corner. This was also disappointing when the TV displayed the golden coint in a black screen in Pirates of the Caribbean. It was like watching a picture of some nebula!

2. Uverse HD content : Sitting at about 8 feet away I saw severe pixelation in action scenes in inception. I understand that this is due to the compression for bandwitch usage in uverse. I felt that My earlier 50'' plama handled this better. I am not sure if it there is a processing difference .



This seems like a min-max type of TV. It seems to blow everything else I have seen (I have access to a Samsung c8000 ' plasma and Panny GT30 set to compare) when the input content is of bluray quality and the scene is not completely black, But it definitely has clouding/flashlight issues .


This morning with ambient light, I couldn't see clouding or the flash lighting. so that is good.

So the question is to see if the upside of this TV is worth living with the downside

I have to 30 days to decide that

For my UN60D7000, With the Following settings, The flash lighting and clouding (which I could see in pitch black room) are gone. The PQ is amazing as well

How do you change the input source name for hdmi inputs. I do not see source in the menu as google relates to.
Thanks

Disregard, i found it in the manual.
source button- highlight source-press tools on remote- edit name

Yes you are correct about the bezel. I got my 60D7000 2 days ago and was disappointed that the bezel was as big as it was. Has a clear outside bezel and a 1" black bezel inside. Total bezel size is about 2 fingers width. Messing around with the setting trying to get rid of the horrible flashlight/clouding!!! seems like you have to almost turn off the backlight to get rid of it. I will try to post up some pictures later. During a complete black seen it looks like my screen has white clouds all over it, reminds me of looking at fuzzy black dice with 6 white dots showing.

Can someone post a picture of there 60D7000 please. I would like to see the differance in bezel from the 55". Thanks

Not a big deal - just me being OCD, but has anyone noticed on the top right corner of the bezel, that there is some folded material under the clear plastic? It looks like the wrapping around the actual display. If you wouldn't mind checking and letting me know if you have this as well, I'd appreciate it. I had a D6400 that I returned before the 7000 and it also has this folded material. Like I said, not a big deal, but was curious how many sets looked like this:

I'll post some tonight

picture of the 60D7000

Awesome info Anismo! Im expecting delivery of my set this tuesday and I'll start out with your settings. The wait is killing me!!!

Thank you for the pic of the 60". I think i like the bezel more than the 55"

Check it out in person. I just saw it in person and from a distance I thought it was a 6400 since the black part was so large. I did not like it anywhere near as much as the 55d7000. The 60d8000 bezel is also not as nice as the 55d8000 bezel, which is by far the nicest of the bunch imo.

That looks just like the D6400 bezel. The 55" version's bezel is much smaller.

^^ yes. I set this up for pitch black room (which is where I could see clouding and flashlight). I have since changed the settings for lightly lit room settings. However, Haven't settled on a final setting yet. Once I am real happy with all of the setting, I will update the settings.

I am considering getting the disney wow disk for calibration as well.

Does no one else have the folded material under the clear bezel as explained in my photos above?

why is that such a bother to u i mean does it mess wiht what the screen is showing u or do u just normal looks for these things when u buy a tv .its kinda crazy if u ask me but hey what can u do injoy the tv is it a 55 or a 60 inch d7000

I've seen that type of stuff in samsung bezel's since they started doing touch of color. I actually had to return an old a650 because there was that plastic stuff sticking out of the bezel and in front of the screen. It is a pretty hard flexible plastic that's not easily pulled or cut. I'm guessing it's part of the manufacturing process.
