While Samsung's Movie mode delivered the most accurate picture prior to our adjustments, it was still overly blue with too-bright gamma and crushed shadow detail, albeit with extremely dark blacks.

Thats only the begining too, this set has almost everything you could possibly dream of except the glasses needed to view the 3D.

We used the Expert settings to make improvements during calibration and, as long as we kept the Local Dimming setting to Low, they worked well, delivering a smooth gamma and excellent color.

In fact it surpassed the color and gamma accuracy and linearity of our Pioneer Kuro, and we intend to use the D8000 as a reference display for color going forward.

DLNA streaming leaves a little be desired because it doesn't support MKV files, XVID, or other popular video formats.

Among the NX720's numerous picture presets we ended up preferring Cinema for dark-room critical viewing, but it did exhibit dark gamma in the middle areas and a too-bright overall image for dark rooms.

In default Movie mode the Samsung was characteristically accurate enough, delivering a relatively smooth grayscale overall, albeit a bit minus-red, and gamma that came close to our target.

it was well worth it to lose a little bit in screen size for a far superior picture!

It has great picture and the THX settings provide natural color accuracy.
