As the most expensive horse in the stables of Edge of Samsung LED-based LCD TV LED that company as a TV in most of their marketing materials, designated colleagues UNB8000, stoves cheap differentiated by the addition of 240Hz processing. If you are wondering if this feature is worth the money, not more, in our opinion, has not requested. Apart from further Hz, Edge is lit Samsung shares more characteristics of image quality, including levels of deep black and very expensive, and some problems of consistency that could have something to deal with the extremely thin plates. Column Again, the image of UNB8000 always still dang good enough – especially after a firmware update – and the design of the Samsung, it can be defeated easily. We have a practical assessment of 46-inch Samsung UN46B8000, but the criticism applies to the 55-inch Samsung UN55B8000. Both have identical information and should offer similar picture quality.

6 things we like about the Samsung UN55B8000

• Deep black levels are relatively produced
• Accurate colors mostly
• Dejudder processing is very good
• Styling is sleek with 1.2-inch thick panel
• Network streaming
• Energy-efficient

5 things we don’t like about the Samsung UN55B8000

• Quite expensive
• Less uniform screen than other LCDs
• Off-angle viewing is poor
• In dark scenes there is a lower contrast
• In bright rooms shiny screen can cause reflections

Samsung UN55B8000 Review

The UNB8000 measures only 1.2 inches deep in thickest point and tapers to the thin edges of the group. Samsung offers a special thin-wall mounted, if you decide to keep the TV on its stand, what the body is thin look impressive side. From the front, the crowd is not standing still either. In contrast to the red members of Samsung Edge LED illumination line is part of the 8000 black good old days highlighted by a transparent border that adds a jewel in the TV show together. An index of the thin blue power which can be disabled provides the only hint of color on this TV Samsung. The State has a sleek metallic surface and a transparent single minute panel suspended majestically to the surface to keep. We believe that the media can turn the TV on both sides.

Apart from the obvious delicacy if the lights are a bonus from another design. The UNB8000 run much cooler than other LCD and plasma, particularly at a similar amount of light and the group itself weighs less than other models.

Samsung uses the same menu system as last year, and I still think it is one of the best in the industry. Transport is easy. It is useful explanatory text at the bottom, and we dug the context-sensitive pop-up menu, which sometimes offer even more options. There is another turning point in 8000 compared with the remote, step-down models of Samsung. In a first among HDTVs control the RF included clicker has the capability, so you are not working in TV revenue, even in the same room. RF has worked hard in our tests, when it combined with the remote control (a simple first step), and we very much appreciate the comfort. Another important difference is the scroll wheel, an additional amount, we are big fans. While the bike was better than the model of last year or so had to turn in most cases, the first, when we navigate the menu. With widgets slow (see below combined), it was estimated, a user experience that we have. Outside the steering wheel, the remote is good, the buttons that most distinctive backlit and easy to use, depending on the size and shape. We liked the dedicated Tools button for quick access to e-manual provides (see below), video and audio media, sleep timer and picture-in-picture controls. We do not know how to choose the glossy black finish at a distance, but more than its share of dulling fingerprints minutes. The company also includes a small, almost useless, hockey puck style that only the remote control, channel, volume and power.

Edge-lit LED backlight, the heads of the intended UNB8000 function. Despite the LED TV moniker, is actually different normal LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), TV with LED (light emitting diodes) instead of standard fluorescent backlight. Watch the slideshow in bed more information on how advanced LED-backlit display and reduces performance below for details on how to show cell technology disadvantages local dimming LED backlighting.

The 240Hz is twice as fast as the refresh rate of 120 Hz found in many other ensembles. The main results improve the analysis of motion, even though the improvement is almost impossible to recognize for most viewers. Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus processing dejudder are also members of the board and new for 2009, including a well-implemented custom parameter sets a blur and reduce ticket.

The system collects information driven web modules called passages in a bar at the bottom of the screen. The model I tested came with widgets for stocks, weather, news, photos, and Flickr, YouTube, Yahoo Video, sports, games, and excitement – and most certainly will occur in the near future. For more information, see our detailed description of the Yahoo Widgets. This review is based on our experience with a Samsung UN46B7000 and our impressions from the series UNB8000 system is essentially the same, including response times relatively low.

Other interactive features abound in this set. You can do streaming video, photos and music from DLNA certified devices on the network and connect through port USB, MP3 player, USB drives thumb, digital cameras (not tested) that status. There are also included in the content, the following recipes, games, education, and a slideshow of art high definition with music and photos. We went later in the debate about the characteristics of last year that are similar this time also, for more information, please read and check the interactive part of the 2008 Samsung LN46A750.

Samsung offers unusual number of image adjustments, starting with four adjustable picture modes that are all independent entrance. There are five presets for color temperature are complemented by the ability of each set a custom white balance menu, three varieties of measures to reduce noise, including an automatic setting a video mode to run 2:3 low (also works with 1080i sources), a seven position control gamma transition from darkness to light TV sense, a dynamic contrast control that affects the image of the fly, adapt, and a vote black to control shadow detail, and color control room regulating the color range of Samsung.

You can choose between four ways, depending on sources of HD, two of which give you an overall picture on the screen horizontally and vertically. How can we expect from a TV 1080p, one of the ways, called Fit screens are wide UNB8000 1080i and 1080p sources directly to the pixels of the group not over scan – the best option if you want to see the fuss around the edge of the screen as may be the case with some channels or programs.

We considered three energy-saving measures that substantially reduce energy consumption. For other conveniences, Samsung launches the picture-in-Picture, E-Guide to a drive USB flash, indicating that the manual for the monitor and screen customer service saying that the firmware version contains, if need be call the company. We get also big fans of the new-for-2009-capacity, firmware updates via download directly rather than going to the site, as was the case. Another Nice touch: the latest version of the firmware of the TV automatically maintained, so that you can return if not update.

The UNB8000 series offers easy access without system AV, many such elements. The highlight is the four inputs HDMI, vertically arranged along the shallow bay at the rear of the TV (note that the fat cable can take almost invisible connectors) very well. You also get two USB inputs, one input VGA / PC, and a component video input, which is converted into composite video, can be accepted instead. An RF input for antenna or cable, optical digital audio jack and Ethernet port of the image circle. If you need to connect more than one analog device, you must use a switch or receiver AV.

The Samsung Series UNB8000 delivered excellent picture quality, which significantly improved with updated firmware and again, but has not been tested yet by the standards of the best displays of local dimming and creatures. It will demonstrate strong performance level and black, but each of these buildings is still some black holes. The uniformity and efficiency of the corner are also their weaknesses. Despite improvements to upgrade the firmware, the administration of 8000 deserves to be always the same performance score in the pre-firmware-7000 model. In other words, we expect that interfered with the current owners of the two series, especially the variable backlight, I appreciate the update.

The following observations were made after the performance we have updated the firmware UN46B8000 our test device. We have audited the software and do not affect image quality as one might say. Designed by Samsung, the update is 001.013 backlight fluctuations; we have seen on evaluations UNB7000 and UNB6000 address. In this request, we UN46B7000 test with the original firmware, set up alongside our examination 8000. Black Level See below for details on how the two compare. Please note that updated firmware is also similar to 7000 but not 6000 – not yet. We will update the post 7000, when we are lucky) and try it.

As usual, setup we are reasonably complete picture of Samsung claims adjustments. The default mode of the film, as usual, gave the most accurate picture, forms, however, was slightly blue and suffering from a very-dark-gamma in dark areas, the shadow detail will be hidden. Our calibration also reduce the light output to our domesticated rated 40ftl, some of these shades of blue (though not as good as hoped, especially in areas midbright) and c leads to higher (2.17 compared with the overall target of 2.2), especially in dark areas. Unlike 7000, we have discussed above, we had to adjust gamma for the aggressive 8000 – perhaps the difference Resort to make a different for the firmware. The UNB8000 achieve good overall performance in this category showed deep blacks that for the best displays in our comparison. In dark scenes, like the map of Manhattan at the beginning of Chapter 4, the black neighborhoods, such as movies, the darkness between the buildings and the shadows of the East River, all seemed very deep and very realistic. The 8000 was essentially tied for second in our comparison after the Pioneer plasma darker, and the like, 7000, the XBR8 Sony and Panasonic V10, surpassing other LCD set deep in the black. Shadow detail how the efforts of the army or the curly head of a fellow researcher was quite good, though a little darker than the ideal, is no longer in other sets.

A good example came during the introduction of the Watchmen, where the screen goes black for transitions between the comic book as a picture. When the 7000 disappeared completely black, then suddenly brighter than the lights on and off, the 8000 is slightly brighter in all black scenes in order to avoid abrupt changes when the scene was deleted.

We also believe that 8000 will not lose as much contrast in dark areas such as the 7000th in the first scene of Earth when the camera pans Stars cape find a full moon and the runway, saw the whole range of stars in 8000, when during 7000 covering many of the stars dimmer. On the other hand, the brightest stars, the moon and the title seem much less strong in 8000, while this was not the edge-lit screens. The same goes for other scenes, such as the provision applies to I Am Legend, where Will Smith blocked his apartment in Chapter 4, the door at the beginning of this chapter appeared lower than most other movements, but not so dim the 7000th In other words, this aspect of the software seems to have improved the image of Samsung, but is still not as good as we would expect on TV this expensive.

Comparing the 7000 and 8000, we also noticed that the new firmware for the black levels slightly diluted in 8000 on a result that was visible from the field star import of the Earth appears, for example. The difference is not significant, and the 8000 is still black Inky, just not as deep as the 7000 in very dark scenes. In other scenes, including black in the period, the difference between the two is negligible. But people who like their TV completely Fade To Black between scenes that are ready, a little contrast, or the ultimate deep blacks at any time, at the expense of other factors have to sacrifice quality to be reported here may want to skip the update.

The results of the 240Hz refresh rate for UNB8000 was similar to that seen in LNB750, the LG LCD and Toshiba – in other words, it is difficult (at best) game of the regular program material, but offers significantly reduce the uncertainty in the pattern test. The advantage from Samsung, and has the Toshiba, is the ability to smooth the effects of processing and the elimination of shrinkage dejudder unclear.

Equipped with LG and most other dejudder 120Hz and 240Hz displays we tested, should confirm the compensatory effect of dejudder if you want to minimize blur. Samsung 2009, you can disconnect the two to create the habit. In fact, we have the best results using the custom setting, and a blur reduction to 10 and reducing to zero smoothly. Second, the 240Hz displays Samsung 8000 compared to slightly less than the face value, our test model, the solution from 800 to 900 lines, the program we saw in the 900-1000 line B750 Samsung, LG and Toshiba. Not that anyone will be able to distinguish the models do not say the trial.

In this context, Custom with the pace of the film can be maintained. We confirmed this by feeding Samsung 1080p/24 content intrepid release of Legend, where the characteristic jerky seemed increasingly clear that these were cursor Scratch away.

Commitment dejudders when watching the video tape shown as our eyes and prefers to ignore. As usual, the increase in reducing judder and therefore the apparent softness of the film material to increase the frequency of unwanted artifacts. In Chapter 11, where Kathy Bates, the camera follows the command, for example, we have seen, pushed distortion reveals Halol in the background at the edge of the body to reduce air floating and distortions largely disappeared when we control, halving the point. In our tests, the resolution is all as expected; Samsung offers all lines of 1080i and 1080p sources, and de-interlacing and film and video sources correctly. The TV must take the display ratio and automatic operation, or 1 movie will pass these tests.

The flashing lights on the screen, or items like blue jeans caught this critic, light shows and appeared as a distraction to another. In the back of the Samsung was much better than plasma and LCD screens, the matte to a much lesser extent, to keep the black level and contrast with the bright light.

Final Words and Conclusion

The UNB8000 was generally good quality image-def. The amount of video-based jaggies eliminated sources of good, clean, and noise reduction, hitting the lowest quality of the sky and the sunset, calmly. Finally, the 2:3 pull down test approved by the elimination of the moiré phenomenon is standing behind the race. Samsung Series UNB8000 gave an excellent performance with VGA and two HDMI sources to the computer, the solution of each line 1920 x1, 080 image no Over scan or EDGE expansion.
