I think both the 7000 and 8000 are side lit. You may be thinking of the 8500 as that is back lit. We have the 7000 and really like it. The only thing I have noticed since I bought it is the screen is not glass like Samsung 550/650 plasma models. We have ours on a stand and my little todler has climbed up and marked up the screen. It has not affected the picture, but there are some marks on the screen that would not be on a glass screen tv.

I think it depends on what your main priority is, if it's Smart features this new TV looks better but I usually look at picture quality first and then the added features; for example I would buy a car for the way it drives not how good it's sat nav is! From experience with this TV and I know there are issues with the 65" version but the 55" seems to be a lot better so screen size is also an issue, if going for 55" I would certainly buy last years version.

Yes, the only difference apparently is they support simuview. However I very highly recommend the Samsung 5150 glasses over these. These glasses will sit at the bottom of my pile till I have too many people watching for the good glasses. Then I will give them to the guest I don't like so much.

I have a total of 6 Samsung TV's. I have a 46" 7000 and a 46" 7500 that are 3 years old. 2-22" inch tvs and this summer i purchased 2 of the 50"-6400's. the 7500 primarily used for gaming (xbox360, ps4) and it is fantastic. I am extremely happy with my all of Samsung purchases. After buying the first 2 samsungs 3 years ago I have been very happy. they work well in bright sunlight and have a great picture. We rarely use the 3D feature on our Tv's but it works well. I would highly recommend samsung tvs.

Smart Evolution Chipset installed in the 7500 and seems to have a faster clear motion rate. Comparisons are readily available on Samsung's website of all of their models. That's how I just answered your question.

This is one feature of the TV that I have not used in a while. I personally think that it is just a novelty. I still have the 55" TV I bought and it is still working fine. I chose the passive 3d because you can use the glasses from the 3d movies you would watch in theaters. The active 3d shutter glasses are expensive and needs to be recharged.

A. Leetham,Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. Based on your informative review of the C7000, I've decided to hold off on purchasing the C7000 until I read your review of the C8000, and until I have a chance to see it in person. Plus, I want to take advantage of the free 3D Starter Kit that Samsung is supposed to be offering soon.By chance, do you know when the C8000 will be available for purchase?Thanks!

I saw both the samsung and panasonic and must say the panasonic is by far the better TV for 3D, the image actually came out of the TV as opposed to just being "deep" like the samsung, although i guess it depends on the content u are watching. Overall the picture was clearer and more brilliant in color, plasmas are superior to LCDs in picture quality in 2D so I am not surprised they also are in the 3rd dimension.

I have the 40 inch version of this Smart TV with 3D and am quite pleased. I have not used the feature permitting the computer screen to be seen on the TV but it's there and now that my taxes are in, plan to watch movies. Also taking a Great Courses lesson on Philosophy and will watch it on TV. Had a 22" Samsung TV and it performed so well I stayed with Samsung. Bob C

The 7100 was 2013, the 7150 (the one you are questioning) is the 2014 variant.. It's the highest 1080p non curved screen samsung currently offers

I personally haven't seen the 3D on this TV yet but I had done a lot of research on this particular model before I ordered it. It is arriving tomorrow. The 3D quality on this TV is one of the best available out there. Ghosting and crosstalk at almost nonexistent. If you are not looking for a 4K tv, this is your best choice among 1080

When we purchased ours we were told it was 3d ready? What does that mean because when I look on the samsung website it says it is not compatible with any of the 3d products? I'm confused.

I did not see the Samsung 65" in action, but then again I did not see the Vizio either before I went ahead and bought it. I have been extremely pleased with the Vizio 80, it is a fantastic TV and especially on the HD and BluRay! One small downside with it is that for whatever reason, this model does not support the Skype app - one thing to consider if you were going to use it for video conferencing. No regrets, quite the experience.

It's close to half the price of a new 4k and as of right now there's almost no 4k content to watch anyway. Personally I'm not a fan of the 4k picture, it's simply just too bright, and for no good reason. The only one I've watched for an extended period gave me a terrible headache. The 8500 to me is just about perfect.

I went ahead and put in my pre-order for the 554 a few days ago. Seems like a good bet that they'll start to flow along the system in the next few days. I may even spring for some 3D specs, just to try it out.
