The Samsung UN55D7000 is a step up model of the Samsung UN55D6400.  The picture quality is great with relative deep black level, accurate colors and improved 3D picture quality.  Although there are some issues with the screen uniformity, the UN55D7000 is still a good choice for a 3D LED TV at the time and it is ca $400-800 cheaper than the UN55D8000, which has local dimming.

Samsung’s new  Smart TV includes Samsung Apps with a universal search and Web browser,  and built-in Wi-Fi.  The universal search can search across broadcast listings, networked PCs and mobile devices, and  Internet channels and Video on Demand services.

The UND7000 series support active-shutter 3D glasses that use Bluetooth. Samsung claims the bluetooth 3D glasses will allow for better line-of-sight and range than the previous 3D glasses that used a 3D signal emitter to sync the lenses up to the TV images. The bluetooth glasses would be less interfered by IR remotes.

The UND7000 series include 3 models and  will be available in the first half of 2010.
