What reviewers say

HDTVTest and TechRadar praised the UE46H7000's contrast, colour, smart features and broad connectivity. Both found that picture adjustments improved results. HDTVTest's sample had unusually even edge lighting and strong motion clarity, while TechRadar saw mild edge clouding, some lost shadow detail and occasional 50 Hz judder.

Display

Panel: LED LCD
Panel detail: Flat edge-lit LCD with active-shutter 3D. Samsung's 800 Clear Motion Rate is a processing figure, not native panel refresh.
Resolution: 1920 × 1080 (Full HD)
HDR formats: None
Picture processing: Samsung's UK specifications list Micro Dimming Pro, Wide Colour Enhancer Plus and 800 Clear Motion Rate. HDTVTest found deep black levels and strong scaling on its 46-inch set; those measurements are not assigned to the other sizes.
Picture modes: Movie mode and white-balance and colour controls. HDTVTest and TechRadar found the reviewed 46-inch picture benefited from adjustment.
Motion handling: HDTVTest measured 1080 lines of motion resolution on the 46-inch set with Motion Plus engaged and 300 without; these are reviewer measurements, not native Hz. TechRadar noticed some 50 Hz broadcast judder on its sample.
Viewing angle: HDTVTest observed colour and contrast washout beyond about 45 degrees off-axis on its 46-inch set.
