Anyone got a Samsung UE55MU7000 ?
Discussion
Hi folks
It's TV upgrade time. I've been researching for a few weeks and been into JL to review and talk to the customer service guys. Have finally decided on the above TV, will likely purchase through JL or Richer Sounds. As a final check I wanted to get any real world views here on PH.
The TV will be utilised mainly for watching standard & HD TV through a Smart Now TV box, and to watch movies either through the NOW TV package or via a standard blueray.
Can anyone comment on how the TV works with regard to upscaling of standard definition TV through a NOW box >? Also, how do you find wider viewing angles ?
Not interested in the sound quality as all sounds channels are run through an Onkyo amp for 5-1 surround.
Thx
Steve

Well an update from me. TV now installed as below. Very pleased although haven’t really had the time to watch or test it extensively. It was relatively easy to set up and I think the smart remote including voice commands will work fine ... as I get used to it.
One minor niggle is the power cable length and routing. The system has a hidden cable system but it only goes cables to go down the left hand leg (from front) and the power cable is way too short to reach my power sockets. Would have been a better design to allow cables to go down either leg. Compromise is to run the smart connector down the leg and power cable just runs directly behind from the middle.
Picture below. I’ll need to move my centre speaker up a little when I can be bothered / have the time.

Sorry to reopen this thread with a problem. Anyone had problems with recording or timeshift ?
I’m using a 64Gb sandisk Cruser blade plugged directly into the 5A USB slot on the TV.
Its worked fine to start with, but now won’t record or pause live tv. I’ve deleted existing programs that I’d recorded off the USB stick so it’s completely clean but still no luck. It recognises I have memory card in place, tells me it has loads of capacity but just won’t record on the programmer nor pause.
Thoughts ? Haven’t had chance to contact Samsung but will do so at weekend.
