Design and Features
The UN46C7000 comes in the standard glossy black bezel with curved edges, though its bottom half sports a translucent silver that shows a hint of amber color. The UltraClear Panel screen, which measures 1 inch thin, rests on a chrome, four-legged stand that can swivel to support its viewing angle. The speakers on the LED TV are found beneath its screen and feature SRS TheaterSound. Inputs include four HDMI ports, component and composite video inputs, a D-Sub 15-pin PC port, two USB ports, an Ethernet port and more.

Tucked away inside this LED is hardware that supports a 6 million to 1 contrast ratio, a wide color enhancer and other performance features. To watch 3D video on the UN46C7000 users must purchase active shutter 3D glasses, which are normally sold separately. However, users can enjoy a suite of web apps through Samsung Smart TV like YouTube, Hulu Plus and Facebook over either Ethernet or through a Wi-Fi adapter, which is also sold separately. The UN46C7000 is said to exceed Energy Star standards.
