Reviews:
1. Samsung UN55D8000 By Cnet
The Samsung UND8000 LED-based LCD TV shows the company’s considerable technological know-how being brought to bear on a simple design goal: to make the “TV” itself disappear as much as possible when turned on, leaving nothing but the picture. The design is a spectacular success, conveying a look in person that will command attention and be worth the exceedingly high price to a certain subset of buyers with cash to burn. And despite its compact dimensions the UND8000 also manages to squeeze in more features than just about any TV we’ve ever reviewed.
2. Samsung UN55D8000 LED LCD HDTV -First Review By HDGuru
Samsung’s 2011 D8000 LED LCD is their top of the line series, offering the most features and highest performance of any of their 2011 LCD models. The 55-inch, 240 Hz refresh rate design provides excellent screen brightness with outstanding energy efficiency. New for 2011 is an LED dimming circuit Samsung calls “micro dimming” for deep blacks, a QWERTY remote control, built-in Internet browser, updated graphic user interface and improved 2D and 3D performance claims.
