Weeds Season 5 on Blu-ray has done something I'm thoroughly impressed with: it has delivered an undeniably awesome TV-on-Blu-ray experience. Opting for gorgeous 1080p video and 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, it's one of the highest quality TV experiences I've ever enjoyed. Seeing a show so entertaining with this much attention to presentation detail puts other TV-to-Blu-ray sets to shame. Read more...

It's even more amazing that the overall quality of the display is equal to or greater than that of some its equally expensive and much thicker brethren. On top of stellar visual quality Samsung has stacked integrated DLNA networking and impressive internet features. The Samsung 7000 and 7100 series LED display has a whole lot going for it. Let's break it down. Read more...
