Samsung UN60F7500 60-Inch 1080p 240Hz 3D Ultra Slim Smart LED HDTV

Samsung never fails. The previous model had outstanding picture quality and I didn’t know how they can further improve it. First let’s look at the dimensions, the previous model (UN55ES7500) is 48.8-Inch x 28.7-Inch x 1.2-Inch this one is 48.4 X 27.6 X 1.4 Inches without the stand. Surprisingly Samsung didn’t make the TV slimmer actually it added 0.2 inches in thickness but it decreased the frame size to compensate for it. The TV was securely packed in a large box and it seemed to be very well protected so don’t worry about buying this TV online. I tested this TV by watching a blu-ray disc, a dvd and playing Black Ops II on it. The blu-ray movie I watched was 300. I’ve watched this movie at least 15 times before but watching it on this TV was a different experience. I was looking for any flaw in the TV but couldn’t find one, the colors were so rich and bright and shades were clearly distinguishable. This TV combined with a blu ray movie is enough to make people working for movie theaters go out of business, it is this good. The second movie I watched was dvd quality, I did this because blu ray looks good on any tv so I had to be sure. The movie I watched was Monster Inc and mike have never looked greener, the picture quality was good and the colors were vibrant. The last thing I tried on this tv was playing Call of Duty with my younger brother, this would allow me to test the sound of the TV. We played multiplayer split screen which means that the screen is divided into an upper part and a lower part, usually this interferes with the gaming experience but the tv’s screen was large enough for us not to notice it. The sound of the tv was really good but it needed a subwoofer for additional bass, I would recommend a Polk Audio subwoofer if you want your system to be complete. The stand looked nice and I am very pleased with this purchase. My dog never watched TV on my old 32 vizio but now he declared the middle spot on the sofa and seem to be enjoying this TV as much as I do. Feel free to ask if you have any questions 🙂

This is fantastic TV with a great picture, snappy fast menus, and a very low profile look. I’m sure that you can read about the detailed features in the description, so I’ll just mention what mattered to me when deciding:

When comparing the F7500 to the 8000 (1 model up) and the 7100 (1 model down), there are just a few features that change (e.g. blur reduction, micro dimming, webcam). Frankly, you can’t tell the difference in picture without a side-by-side comparison and some really keen eyes & the webcam isn’t useful enough to change anyone’s mind. The deciding feature for me was the faster quad-core chip and the Smart Evolution kit compatibility. In short, the menus on the 7500 and 8000 are just faster. Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, and especially Plex all load and play faster with the faster chip than on the lower models. Also, this chip only upgradeable ($200 extra kit later) on the 7500 and 8000. That means the top two models will be faster longer; the 7100 and below will not be able to be upgraded. Truthfully, I think Samsung is completely aware that the 7100 or even the 6300 are as good picture-wise as the upper end TVs, so they put in a slower chip and locked down the upgrade ability to force you into the higher end model. That was the case for me anyway.

All in all, it’s a great TV and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Pair it together with a Sanus LL11-B1 mount from Crutchfield for a terrific low-profile that puts the screen <1″ from the wall.
Pros:
-Some useful SmartTV apps especially Plex, Netflix, Hulu+, and Pandora. If you don’t know what Plex is, Google it immediately. It’s basically a free Roku in your TV for playing your own music, movies, and pictures. Amazing! -Great picture, which is made even better with the thorough picture settings -Small bezel (~1/4″) and thin panel (~1/2″) -Very fast menu navigation due to quad core cpu -Wireless (this is 802.11 N, so it’s very fast) -Camera can be hidden (unlike last year’s model
Cons:
-The motion detection is gimmicky and not particularly useful. I hid the camera. -The SmartTV stuff is cool enough but not as good as a standalone Roku, AppleTV, or WD Play. -NOT A TOTAL CON, but the remote is a little different. What’s great is how small, fast, and low profile it is. What’s annoying is that is has so few buttons, that many inputs and options (ex. for a DVR) are hidden in secondary menus that require additional clicks to get to.
