Samsung H 7150

Display & Audio

A quality video display is essential in any TV. The better the display, the better 3D content will look. Most HDTVs will have a 1920 x 1280 resolution, and the Samsung follows suit. The best 3D TVs feature deep black levels. Samsung is known for having amazing picture quality. This is one of the many reasons Samsung is an industry giant in the LED television business, and its 3D TV is no different. This high definition screen produces rich colors and deep black levels that are unrivaled by most other companies. When you purchase a TV from the Samsung H series, you're guaranteed one of the best 3D TVs on the market.

Features

The difference between 3D TVs mostly comes down to one thing: 2D to 3D conversion quality. This is your TV's ability to convert 2D video content into a 3D video. The Samsung H7150 is one of the best at this. It takes an incredible amount of processing power to convert a 3D picture in real time. Samsung is one of the few companies known to include a quad-core processor in its TVs. Faster processing power means better 3D conversion.

There are two different ways to display 3D content – active and passive. With active 3D, the glasses quickly shutter the right eye and left eye. The glasses work wirelessly in conjunction with your TV to coordinate when to shutter on and off, and what left side and right images it wants your brain to detect. Most people think this is the best 3D technology because it’s real time and active with the material on the screen. The downfall of these active 3D glasses is that since they are battery operated, they are more expensive than passive 3D glasses that don’t require a battery. Remember to factor this into your budget, in case you need to buy extra sets of 3D glasses.

Superior 3D conversion is only one features of this 3D TV. One big hit with customers is internet connectivity, which allows you to browse the web and use video streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and Hulu Plus. There is no need to connect an extra peripheral like a Roku to watch your favorite shows online anymore. You can stay connected with the built-in Wi-Fi on this TV – fewer wires, less clutter.

Connections

Speaking of wires, you will probably have some extra devices you want to plug into this TV. Peripherals like a cable or satellite box, a video game system, a Blu-ray player and a number of other devices will give you access to 2D and 3D content. Hardware that distributes high-definition content will need to be connected with HDMI cables. The Samsung H7150 has an impressive four HDMI ports, which is the highest number of ports we have seen on a 3D TV.

Older peripheral devices and non-HDMI devices need to be connected through a composite or component connection. This TV has one of each, and the composite connection doubles as a second component connection as well. Sound bars can be connected through optical cables or HDMI, and there is an Ethernet port in case you want a hardline connection. This TV has plenty of connections for several devices.
