8000 Series (2011 LCD) by c|net (Apr, 2011)We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 55-inch Samsung UN55D8000, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by Robert-Leo (May, 2012)I purchased the Samsung UN65D8000 because of its size and edge less design for the screen.
thickness
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by Stephen-Gates--Steve-GThere is no denying that this TV looks beautiful with it's thin edge and it's slim design makes it look fantastic when you out it on the wall.
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by RODikUlus (Feb, 2012)With that said, the sound from this TV is pretty good...considering how thin it is, but I wouldn't crank it.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung 8000 Series (2011 LCD)
power consumption
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by c|net (Apr, 2011)We did not test the power consumption of this size in the Samsung UND8000 series, but we did test the 55-inch model.
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by Skywalker (Aug, 2011)is saying something, since she could care less for the Smart TV applications, low power consumption, double sided remote with QWERTY keboard or any other features then the following: 1.
black levels
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by Flyer215 (Aug, 2011)I am amazed with the black levels that this set produce which contrast well will the vibrant colors that the set produces.
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by c|net (Apr, 2011)In the course of our calibration we were able to basically nail color accuracy, even in near-black, and improve shadow detail and gamma somewhat, the former at the expense of some black level.
contrast ratio
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by eDER80 (Jan, 2012)The picture quality is simply AMAZING!!! 25 million in contrast ratio,1080p 240 Hz with a 960 clear motion rate( which eliminates blur and gives great smooth motion on any fast scene),WiFi,internet browser, need i say more?!?!?! The incredible detail, deep blacks and rich colors will leave you breathless!
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by eDER80 (Jan, 2012)I wanted to upgrade from an LG 32 inch 1080p 120hz LCD with about 100k in contrast ratio.
