Samsung PN63C7000 Review

Samsung PN63C7000 is a sleek stylish Plasma Tv with inch deep panel. It has superb streaming and widget content via well-integrated Apps platform and a solid 3D picture quality. The good about this TV is its excellent black level performance and accurate color overall. It is equipped with numerous picture controls and tweeks. It is a better 2D performer in the price range it is available.  Samsung PNC 7000 series plasma tv also comes with 3D.

Even though it has many features it has some draw backs. It fails to handle 1080p/24 sources.  When it compared with LCD in some features it is less eeficient than LCD. One more disadvanges of this model is it has duplicate application and widget which may  confuse the user. This model is not shipping with 3D glass.

CNET rating of this product is 4 out of 5.
