Yet another strong-performing and feature-rich TV offering from Samsung.

Excellent 2D and 3D pictures, Lovely design, State of the art online features

Poor presets, Slight backlight inconsistencies, Very slight crosstalk with 3D

Samsung UE46ES7000

If you can't quite run to Samsung's flagship ES8000 TVs, the UE46ES7000 is a fine alternative.

Aggressively excellent 2D and 3D pictures ; Very pretty design ; Rich online services

Occasional backlight consistency problems ; Unhelpful presets ; Gesture control system not quite there yet

Samsung UE46ES7000 review

High fashion meets quality LED TV vision - if you're careful

Gorgeous design ; Terrific pictures mostly ; Excellent online service ; Control innovations

Backlight inconsistencies ; Unhelpful presets ; Gesture control needs work ; A bit expensive

Samsung's high-end TVs can generally be relied on to set some sort of bar for the AV world each year, either with their designs or their feature counts. Or, as happens with the Samsung UE46ES7000, both!

Samsung UE40ES7000 review

Control is everything in the star of Samsung's latest wave of Edge LED TVs

Smart Hub video content ; Voice control tech ; Freesat HD & Freeview HD ; Upscaling & 2D/3D Blu-ray

Too many apps ; Can't customise Smart Hub ; Poor sound ; Game mode

You are being watched. Like all members of Samsung's Series 7 and Series 8 collections of Edge LED-backlit LCD TVs, this 40-inch television has a built-in webcam. The advantages are many. Skype on the Samsung UE40ES7000 from the off, with no need for...

Samsung UE40ES7000

A great telly with dazzling looks and performance

Cracking picture; plenty of smart features; good interface and controls; looks fantastic

Slightly pricey; there are rivals with smoother motion

The dazzling looks and wealth of smart and online content aside, it’s the UE40ES7000’s picture that’s got us hooked. You’ll be entertained for hours when watching this TV, and it’s worth every penny of its price.

Samsung UE46ES7000 review

This attractive beast is rammed with cutting-edge technology – including four remote controls if you count your mouth and arms as two of them. Gesture and voice control can make you feel self-conscious and possibly embarrassed as you gesticulate and...

Impeccable HD images; attractive menu system

3D X-talk poor; soft SD Freeview; no BBC iPlayer

Samsung UE40ES7000 3D TV review

If Samsung's flagship Series 8 ES8000 TVs (see our review of the 46-inch UE46ES8000) are priced just out of reach, or you simply don't like their distinctive 'Arch Flow' stands, then the brand's more affordable Series 7 sets, such as the UE40ES7000...

Offering an identical screen and picture processing brawn to Samsung’s top-rated ES8000 at a step-down price, the UE40ES7000 is the TV to look for when prices are slashed to make way for the brand’s next-generation 2013 models later this year. Given...

Samsung 40inch Smart TV

TV's are getting larger and are no longer just a device to take external connections, hence the word ‘Smart' as now they do not even have to have an Ethernet connection as a reasonably good wireless link will do it all for you.

This is far more than a TV if you connect a keyboard then you could do all your web browsing from your sofa. Its nice not to have your TV even a ‘Smart’ one with an Ethernet cable it gives youso much more flexibility.

Samsung UE-55ES7000 55 Inch 3D LED LCD Smart TV Review

Samsung have struck another winner with the design of the ES7000, it's ultra-sleek and the almost bezel-less frame creates a real wow factor. We'd prefer it if Samsung did away with the quad stand but you do get accustomed to it. Samsung include two...

Fantastic styling Amazing feature-set Excellent colour gamut out-of-the-box Reference colour gamut after calibration Reference greyscale after calibration (Mostly) excellent video processing

Some undefeatable noise reduction Some issues with motion processing Poor off-axis performance Gesture controls can be problematic Only 3 HDMI inputs
