HDTV Reviews – LCD & Plasma TV Review

Up for review: Samsung UN55B8000. Samsung ultra-slim LED TVs combine breakthrough picture quality, eco-friendly design and advanced connectivity options that will keep you entertained 24/7. Including InternetTV that allows you to receive content via Yahoo!, Flickr, and other online TV Widgets on screen. USB 2.0 Movie: Multi-Media Center makes it easy to watch movies, browse photos and listen to music on your TV. The Samsung UN55B8000 LED HDTV also makes it easy to be green with up to 40% less power consumption than conventional LCDs.

For images that are stunningly true to life you need the 3 Cs: contrast, color and clarity. Ultra brilliant Samsung LED TVs have them all. 5,000,000:1 Mega Contrast provides an incredible range of
brightness – from pure blacks to pristine whites. Advanced Color Processing enables a wider range of natural colors and provides greater depth for a vibrant, captivating picture – even with subtle colors. Plus the Auto Motion Plus 240Hz technology eliminates virtually all motion blur leaving your picture smooth and crisp.

The Samsung UN55B8000 has the most advanced HDTV technology contained in a razor-thin silhouette. Stunning at only 1.2″ deep, Samsung LED TVs are the slimmest HDTVs yet. Supported by a unique stand with an elegant, crystal-clear neck, you’ll have no trouble finding a place for one in any room. Thanks to the innovative, optional Wall Mount (WMN1000B), the astonishingly slim LED TVs can be hung just like a picture frame – less than two inches from the wall. Only this frame is made with a hint of grey. Samsung calls it a Touch of Color. One look at it and its soft, square corners is all it takes to see that this isn’t just a TV you’re hanging, but a work of art.

Samsung LED TVs are easy on the planet as well as the eyes. Samsung LED TVs use 40% less power than conventional LCD TVs and are mercury free. So you can put your feet up and relax knowing you’re leaving a smaller carbon footprint. Suppose you feel like playing a game of chess or cooking instead of watching TV. Samsung Series 8 LED TV’s Content Library Flash feature lets you do just that. Enjoy hours of built-in entertainment features, then personalize it by adding content that’s available online. There’s so much you can do with the Series 8 LED TVs.

Clever Reviews found this top of the line Samsung LCD HDTV to be one of the very best on the market. It retails for $3,799, but we have found it online for around $2,199.
