Featured Expert Review

Samsung UN55B8000

Posted 2 months ago - THE GOOD: Produces relatively deep black levels; mostly accurate color; very good dejudder processing; sleek styling with 1.2-inch thick panel; extensive feature set with Yahoo Widgets, network streaming, and lots of built-in content; energy-efficient. THE BAD: Expensive; less uniform screen than other LCDs; poor off-angle viewing; lower contrast in dark scenes; shiny screen can cause reflections in bright rooms; benefits of 240Hz difficult to discern; scarce analog video inputs. THE BOTTOM LINE: The expensive, stylish Samsung UNB8000 series has its share of picture quality drawbacks, but a firmware update helps, and the thin frames are worth serious bragging rights. - Read Full Review

Best HDTV for Watching Sports

Posted 2 months ago - Bestcovery's experts have ranked this the #3 Best HDTV for Watching Sports. Samsung’s UB55B8000 is the company’s higher end edge-lit LED LCD TV, combining excellent performance with an ultra-sleek, ultra-thin design. The large 55” screen is ideal for friends and family gathering in the living room to watch Sunday games. Though not perfect, image quality is very good with deep black levels and accurate colors, and there are plenty of adjustable settings to dial in an optimal picture. This HDTV also has very good video processing and custom mode for adjusting the dejudder processing, which works very well. 240Hz processing and 2ms response time, both step-up features of the 8000 series, improve motion performance while watching fast-motion sequences such as those in sports programs. The B8000 series also boasts internet connectivity, which provides that allows you to receive content from Yahoo! and Flickr such as stocks, weather, news, and photo albums. Input connectivity is solid with 4 HDMI inputs, a PC (VGA) input, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, and an Ethernet port. Overall, the UN55B8000 is an excellent HDTV that performs as well as it looks. And despite its large screen size, this set is very energy efficient thanks to its LED technology, which should help keep the power bill down. The only drawback is its price, and you can undoubtedly find better performing plasma HDTVs for a lower price. But with its 55” screen, excellent color accuracy, and great motion performance, the Samsung UN55B8000 is definitely one of the best HDTVs for watching sports. - Read Full Review

Samsung UN55B8000 55 inch LED TV Review @ Tweaknews

Posted Nov 30, -0001 - After over a month and a half of daily use, the Samsung UN55B8000 can be summed up as a mixed bag of great and not so great characteristics. The first thing to mention and the distinguishing feature is the 1.2 inch depth profile. There is no consumer grade TV this side of perhaps an OLED display that at the time of this review is as thin as this model. The second is the color reproduction. This by a small margin has the best color reproduction I have seen to date. Couple these with the overall aesthetics and improved USB video, mp3 and photo functionality and at first you would think this is a touch down for Samsung. But hold on. - Read Full Review
