Just 30mm deep at its thickest point (without stand), the Samsung UE40B7020 has the body to satisfy the style- or space-conscious. There's a price to be paid in sound quality for this slimness, but thankfully not in the TV's picture, which is intense and detailed. Thanks to the 100Hz engine though, SD content suffers from some motion blur.
However, as usual with a Samsung TV, it's aggravating that you have to put a little legwork in to get the best out of the UE40B7020. And I really think it's time Samsung put as much effort into improving its TVs' audio as it clearly does revamping their aesthetics every year.
That said, the UE40B7020 really does look sensational, and providing you're willing to tinker with its numerous picture options, it can produce superb pictures for what is a decent price.Read full review
