Build Quality: The most outstanding feature of the UE55B7020 is that it could be described as the supermodel of Televisions, being especially thin. In fact it is around 29mm in depth.The black sheer finish to the surround of the television looks great, as does the slim see-through connection between the display and the stand. An added plus point is that Samsung has built-in all of the key parts inside the TV – certain manufacturers have required viewers to find a space for a separate box for such objects as the Freeview tuner.

Sound Quality: This leads to a fault widespread in recent TVs – the sound quality is only average. The UE55B7020 is too thin to permit a good enough audio system. Look to linking it to a separate audio system to get decent sound to hope to match the picture quality.

Picture Quality: This is the main plus of the UE55B7020 over its competitors, in that it has replaced fluorescent backlighting with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). While the backlighting technology is unusual, the UE55B7020 remains a LCD TV. LED backlighting is supposed to have the following benefits:

* LEDs present a more even light – they use a lattice system, rather than the customary fluorescent light source.

* Faultless blacks are realizable – out of the question with traditional Televisions.

* The screen can react faster.

* The colour palette is wider.

Connections: With 4 HDMIs, 2 USBs and a LAN connection, the UE55B7020 has all the connections you’re expected to need for the near future. The USB connections allow the playing of a wealth of multimedia file formats as well as to your wireless network (you will require a separate dongle.) And the LAN network connection permits easy access to files on your home network.

The UE55B7020 comes with 2 remote controls. Advantageous if one gets misplaced! The bigger one looks relatively bizarre. It curves over at one end, a bit similar to a shoe horn. Odd to use at first, but OK after a bit. And a baby remote is also available – enabling power of and on, together with channel and volume changes.

Green considerations: In service the UE55B7020 uses merely as much power as a light bulb – a large amount less than nearly all modern TVs.

Winding up: Although having only ordinary sound quality, the UE55B7020 makes spectacular pictures, with deep blacks and none of the slightly washed out looks that you can often get in LCD Televisions.
