Hi all
have sold my bravia 40V3000

the money is going towards a new screen.
Either a 40W5500, 40B7000 or 40B6000. Now, i know the bravia is a good'un but i am rather drawn to the samsungs. Could one of you kind chaps please explain to me what the difference is between the B7000 and the B6000 is because i cannot see that much difference in the specs.
I'm trawling the stores on sunday to get some comparisons, until then thanks for any replies

6 series has no PIP, whereas the 7 does

The 7 series has all the DLNA wireless, Internet TV, ethernet connection etc whereas the 6 has none of this.

Plus the 7 has one more USB connection to the 6.

SAMSUNG LED TV Series 6 UE40B6000VW - LED TV - television | SAMSUNG

SAMSUNG LED TV Series 7 UE40B7000WW - LED TV - television | SAMSUNG

iirc someone on here said that the 6000 dont have a lan port as they were sold a 7020 and got a 6000 or something like that.

oops sorry as greg said above

daley30 · 22-05-2009, 7:26 PM

Thanks very much guys, not really interested in internet tv, looks like the B6000 could be the one.

steve69 · 22-05-2009, 7:31 PM

no worries daley,
the thing i cant get my head round is that the 6000 and 7000 are the same price almost.
i saw a site today that was selling the 6000 twenty quid more than the 7020 which i thought saw stupid, it just didnt make sence to me.

scratch that, just had a quick look and seen them for 1099 at currys, so they are a bit ( £60 ) cheaper than the 7000 range.

Hi mate

I bought the samsung UE40B7000WW just the other day and i have know regrets.After seeing it in the shop, i had to have it

the picture is just amazing but the sound is weak but can be sorted with external speakers.I also got a blu-ray player,never had one before and yet again the picture is amazing

As for the 40B6000 there is no picture in picture and some online stuff is missing but i think thats it mate.
Hope that helps

Cheers

steve69 · 22-05-2009, 7:45 PM

Unfortunatly, you cant reserve online which to be honest is making me a little nervous about the stock, i am keeping everything crossed. Twice.

Yep, but i'm going for the B6000 @ £1099, just trying to see if i can get a decsent 2.1 system to go with it as i've heard that the sound quality from the tv is'nt up to much.

To me the sound is the only let down on this tv mate,i would love to add external speakers but we have a 18 month baby upstairs

so its not a good idea at the moment.

Does the 6000 have 100hz mate as it don't say on there wedsite?

Yeah, the 6000 also has 100htz

steve69 · 22-05-2009, 10:17 PM

sorry to but in here,
i know you need it by sunday, but if that wasnt the case you could of had the 7020 plus the bd player for £1305 from 2 different sites.
it was just a thought thats all, as i want one of these tv's and have been trawling the net for the best price on them.
