| Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch LED HDTV Review |
Remember the time when flat panel TVs started to take over the old bulky CRT TVsall Well the second wave of change is coming. LED HDTVs will soon take over conventional LCD and plasma HDTVs. LED HDTVs are super-thin, uses very little energy and produces superb video quality. It will be just a matter of time before they take over the HDTV market. Currently, the Samsung UN55B8000 LED HDTV series has been touted as on of the best in the market. Here is a quick look at the 55-inch model.
Design: Firstly, it must be mentioned that the Samsung UN55B8000 55-inch LED HDTV looks just stunning. This model is just 1.2-inches thick at its thickest point, giving it an amazing side profile. On the front, it has a glossy black surface that is decorated with a thin layer of transparent acrylic/plastics along its edges. It rests on a transparent stalk that connects it to a brushed-metal stand. The chic design and looks of this model is on its own a good enough of a reason for you to get one of these.
Features & Performance: Like most high-end Samsung HDTV models, the Samsung UN55B8000 comes with Yahoo Widgets. When connected to the internet, it allows you to access a variety of online content such as streaming videos from YouTube. For connectivity, it comes with a wide array of connectors that include 4 HDMI ports and 2 USB ports on the side. The video quality on this model was as expected, nothing short of amazing. The black levels on this model matched those of some of the best plasma HDTVs in the market. The colors were accurate and watching fast action sequences was a flawless experience. Like most LED HDTVs, the 55-inch Samsung UN55B8000 is currently a little more expensive that regular HDTVs. If you can afford the hefty price tag, this LED HDTV would definitely be worth the investment!
If you after the latest in HDTV technology then this model will not let you down and it beats Sony's price by $2000. I'll just mention a few of the sweet features this TV has.
1) 1.5" thick- Yes that's right it is about the same thickness as a deck of cards! The reason for this is because this new generation uses LED's instead of LCD or Plasma so there is no need for light bulbs in this one.
2) Super COOL- The Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV not only looks cool but it actually STAYS cool. Because it doesn't use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (those are light bulbs for us simple folk) that means that it doesn't heat up at all.
3) 240 hz refresh rate- Most TV's refresh in the 60hz-120 hz range so the images get blurred more easily. With 240 hz fast motion images appear ridiculously clear.
4) Energy Efficient- The Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV is almost 40% more energy efficient than standard LCD and Plasma HDTV's. This is again due to the revolutionary LED technology that does not use light bulbs.
5) Do you like Gamesall- This TV features game mode which enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response. Basically it makes your games even better to play than they already are.
