The Samsung LED 6000 and the Samsung LED 7000 are two series of high-definition televisions that use light-emitting diode technology from Samsung Electronics, the South Korean consumer electronics manufacturer. The 7000 series is positioned as being generally more advanced than the 6000. At the time of publication, a prime example is the comparison between a pair of 60-inch entries under Samsung's wireless technology-armed Smart TV brand: the UN60D6000VFXZA and the UN60D7000VFXZA.
