Samsung UN55B7100 55" 120Hz LED HDTV Review

Accessories & Remotes

Considering the price you are paying for the UN55B7100, it is good to see a full-rounded list of accessoies, many of which you will probably never use. There are a number of wire holders including one which is rolled as well as clamp-type self-adhesive units. A “PC Share Manager” CD with various programs to facilitate communication between your PC and TV, a microfiber cloth, wire cover and a few other tidbits round out the accessory package.


As with most high-end Samsung TVs, there is a pair of remotes included with the UN55B7100. One of them is your traditional multi-function affair while the other is what Samsung calls their “pebble” mini-remote. This small unit has some basic functions on its svelte frame including channel forward / back buttons, volume control and a power button. Unfortunately, this makes its uses limited especially if you are already using a Logitech Harmony or have more than one source running to the TV as it doesn’t allow you to switch inputs.


The primary remote control has the same layout as we have been seeing on Samsung’s remotes for the last few years. It is broken into four separate zones: direct input, browsing, media and extended functions but it has done away with the somewhat clunky center wheel from previous generations. It also incorporates an extended grip o keep it from tipping on a flat surface as well as fully illuminated keys.
