Toshiba Regza 55SV670U 55-inch Widescreen 1080p Full HD LED TV 240Hz
Toshiba have recently launched their new REGZA SV range of LCD and LED TVs, so I went for a viewing at my local store. They have got used to me turning up every couple of weeks now...and bribing them with Starbucks coffee to show me the latest sets early on a Monday morning! To be fair they quite enjoy it as well!
Anyway, back to the plot! The new SV range combines state of the art Full HD 1080p picture processing with stunning design making the Toshiba Regza 55ZV670U a real gem amongst HD TVs.
The REGZA SV Series is the first Toshiba series to feature LED Local Dimming backlight technology and it certainly results in deep, genuine blacks and rich bright highlights.
Utilising Toshiba's latest Active Vision M200HD technology the 240Hz picture processing produced by the Toshiba Regza 55SV670U offers one of the clearest, smoothest and most astonishing pictures they have produced to date.
I also really liked the Dolby Volume control which stops those annoying volume variances when the commercials come on or you switch sources or change channels. Very sharp of Toshiba (excuse the pun) to pick up on something that is very annoying but that everyone seems to have just put up with.
Another interesting innovation is "Resolution+" which Toshiba claim can optimise the picture dependent on the ambient conditions in a room therefore offering the best possible viewing no matter how conditions change. I'm not sure about this but I suppose conditions on the shop floor don't eally change. Nonetheless I find this one difficult to believe.
It's true that most thin HD TVs offer poor sound. I have to say I felt the Toshiba Regza 55SV670U 55 Inch LCD TV is probably slightly better than the Samsung range. But, it's an inherent problem with all HD TVs due to their thiness. Again I think most people prepared to pay this amount for their viewing they would almost certainly hook up a surround system and that obviously solves the problem.
For my money, the picture quality of the Regza series is as good as it gets in LCD TV at the current state of technology.
For a 55 inch screen the Toshiba Regza 55SV670U projects a stunning viewing experience, rich, deep colors and at 240 Hz all fast action remain crystal clear and completely void of any of the traditional motion blur. It's an amazing experience to watch full 1080P HD inputs for hi-octane action and sport. I loved it.
There are a couple of other features that are also worthy of mention. Firstly the Toshiba Regza 55SV670U has a special "game" mode which is superb for gaming. I don't game an awful lot but the quality of games does appear slightly enhanced and do seem a bit easier to follow the on screen action...easier on the eye maybe? I managed to sneak a preview of the Wii HD console that the lads had rigged up and it was very, very good (they played Metriod: Other M).Again, it's a dificult one to discern the difference, and it is really just a perception, but I think (perceive) gaming is better!
One thing I really do like is that the Toshiba Regza 55SV670U LCD TV allows you to switch HDMI channels immediately. Most HD TVs have an inherent delay in HMDI channel switching. This TV makes changing HMDI channels the same speed as a normal channel change which is very cool and another very welcome innovation from Toshiba.
I think I've banged on about the technology a bit too much here, but...the Toshiba Regza 55SV670U provides a superb viewing experience, especially when coupled with true 1080 HD input (HD Box / Blu Ray / XBox). An expensive "toy" and Toshiba do come up a little more expensive, but worth it in my humble opinion!

Samsung UN55C8000 55 Inch 3D LED TV
Samsung UN55C8000 55 Inch 3D LED TV
It's been really fun building up a circle of HD TV buddies! I know it all sounds a bit geeky, but HD TV people get really excited about things like new TVs and they love to share their epxeriences so if you keep in contact with these people, you tend to find out first had what's good and what's not, after all a personal referral is so powerful!
Perhaps some of the TV manufacturers should bear that in mind...anyway, I digress.
So, I loved it when I got a call of wild excitement from one of my HD TV Buddies, Bryn in Seattle. We met at a TV trade show in Seattle about two years ago and hit it off. Del, "I've gone 3D" he bounded! I knew he was thinking about it as I'd told him about my 3D demo in London a few months back.
"Yeah, I've got myself a Samsung UN55C8000 55 Inch 3D LED TV" he enthused, "It's amazing"!
I found out he'd had it a couple of weeks and that it had taken a little bit of work to configure so it was "totally right" for him, but now he'd got it working properly he was totally blown away.
So, after listening to him wax lyrical for 20 minutes he said...
"Anyway Man, I know you write reviews on HD TVs so I've written you a full report on it - thought you'd like that"!
What a star! So here, without any editing or amendment from me is Bryn's report on his new Samsung UN55C8000 55 Inch 3D LED TV...take it away Bryn.
Having taken that big step to "go 3D" I was couldn't hide my excitement when my new Samsung UN55C8000 actually arrived.
Here it was...a new Samsung "C" range, what would it be like to watch? Well the sales material promised "full real life 3D", "get immersed in the action" and a jack pack that offered more connectivity than you could ever possibly need. This TV has it all, well that's what Samsung say anyway. As it gradually slid out of the box...a sharp intake of breath.
Oh Boy, it's beautiful with it's slate gray surround and the backest screen I've ever seen.
The family were completely awe struck by the sheer beauty. "Put it on Dad" cried an excited Jayne, "Yes, now, now, now" added Jordie. Come on then said a smiling Teri looking at the mass of wiring and components, "sort it out"!
"Errr, I'm gonna need some time" I protested. With the ample jack pack now in full view (4 HDMI, Anynet+, 2 x USB, PC Input, Ethernet, Optical Sound and Component Video) and a hefty set of manuals I knew it might take some time!
So, be warned if you're gonna get one of these beauties, be pepared for some initial pain. Make sure the family know it will take some time to configure, especially if you've not attempted a new TV, Blu-Ray and surround sound install before.
So, being the structured and organized sort I am, I sat down to read the manual, I'm glad I did.
With the amazing plethora of connectivity, including wireless connectivity to add to the surround and Blu-Ray, it was a big job. There are also a whole stack of "widgets" you can set up as well, such as Yahoo, YouTube and Flickr. I found the manual to be pretty good - but then I am technical, so I think that made it easier for me as I'm used to technical manuals!.
One of the things that attracted me to the Samsung UN55C8000 55 Inch 3D LED TV is that it has the built in
ability to make normal 2D images into 3D. Getting this to work was a little awkward though and took a bit of time.
Now I'm glad I went through the full configuration and took the trouble to get this right up front. Why? Well the converted 2D images are not the best. There was quite a bit of image blurring...I think the technical term is "crosstalk".
It was more than watchable but not brillaint, so our hopes weren't as high as they might have been for true native 3D. But, when we switched to a true 3D source...WOW! That's all - WOW!
Here again there is a configuration issue. As with all 240Hz HD TVs there is the "Spanish Soap Opera" look. What? That's what I thought. It's an effect that is supposed to make the viewed image look more like it does at the cinema. I know many people are big fans of this - not me. So, the Samsung UN55C8000 55 Inch 3D LED TV has to be configured again. I like a crisp picture, full clarity, so that had to be switched off, and I did need to dig into the menu system a bit to make that happen.
However...once I got the 3D picture working as I wanted, it was almsot beyond belief - it is fantastic!
The picture is robust and crystal clear, the 3D is amazing and the kids just loved it, they've hardly stopped watching Monsters v Aliens, and that bit with the paddle made us all jump. And the space scenes at the start are simply stunning. Star Trek is also amazing in 3D. There was still the odd bit of "crosstalk" even in native 3D, but I was hugely impressed that the 3D stays really true even if you sit quite a long way to the side of the screen.
On normal 2D TV the full 1080p and 240Hz make for simply stunning pictures. As I said earlier the screen is so incredibly black, but when it comes to life, I am still in awe of the pciture it produces. Brilliant, crystal, vibrant, sharp, bright, rich color, stunning contrast...add whatever superlatives you like it the best TV picture I have seen.
Overall in my opinion the Samsung C Series produces TV that's a new and higher level. Despite the odd bug here and there which Samsung say will be fixed (via a software upgrade) I am blissfully happy with my Samsung UN55C8000 55 Inch 3D LED TV.
So, for my money, I am cool with being into 3D TV early. It's true it wasn't cheap to upgrade everything (3D Blu-Ray and of course, remember you have to buy 3D glasses for the entire family).
But all in all, for around $3.5k we have home entertainment far and above run of the mill TV. I don't know how long the "WOW" factor will last? To be honest at the moment I don't really care...I'm having way too much fun because it all seems so very worthwhile right now!
Go 3D, I don't think you will regret it!

ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV
ViewSonic VT2430 24-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
I have to admit to being quite amazed that the main HD TV producers such as Samsung, LG and Sony seem to avoid producing smaller sets. Why is this? Surely there is a market, I certainly wanted one...So, I was more than a little interested when I heard about the ViewSonic VT2430 24 inch LCD TV so I thought I'd have a look and maybe get one for the guest room.
The guest room has never had a TV and as my old LG Plasma now services the marital bedroom, or alternatively is where I am shown the door to watch sport...I thought we should look for a small set in the 22-24 inch range for the guestroom.
So, I went to the local store to have a look at the ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD HD TV. And I have to report that I was very pleasantly surprised by this small but extremely well put together LCD TV. The first surprise was that it offers full 1080p HD. Major surprise on such a small screen. Consequently the picture is outstanding. You really should try and get a look at 1080p HD on a 24 inch screen because it's an outstanding picture. The picture is crystal clear and wonderfully crisp. The 1080p coupled with a contrast ratio on 8000:1 means the ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV boasts a perfect picture even when the action is fast paced. I was a bit worried about this as the refresh is only 60 Hz, but with the smaller screen this didn't show any noticeable degradation on picture performance.
It's certainly true that screen blur has been a traditional problem for LCD TVs and I have highlighted this in many of my reviews. However, more recent LCD TVs have overcome this nagging problem by offering the higher contrast ratios. So, the 8000:1 ratio makes viewing sport or action movies an absolute delight on this little beauty. The ViewSonic VT2430 also offers a 5ms (millisecond) screen response rate which also goes a long way to defeating any screen blur when coupled with the other technologies. Certainly any doubts I had on buying a set with only a 60Hz refresh rate were totally overcome.
I was also hugely impressed by the natural but bright colors and the richness of the blacks. LCD has again traditionally been a bit "gray" in the black zone, but the ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV maintains dark, deep blacks giving excellent contrast with the bright and vibrant colors.
The ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV also has an internal HDTV tuner. As it happens this is needed given that there is only one HMDI input (it does have S-Video input as well), but in truth the set could probably do with an extra HDMI. However, at the price, there are really not any complaints - more in a minute.
The ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV can also double up as an outstanding PC monitor and works superbly well with games as well although you will have to rely on that one HDMI port for all uses. Sadly this does mean a bit of messing around with cables. And...unfortunately the same applies if you want to hook up a Blu-Ray via the HMDI, but the picture is brilliant in return for your trouble. But...if I'm honest, I think it's a small small price to pay given the amazing performance you get.
And...talking of small prices. The ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD comes up at a remarkable $359. That in itself is just a great price for an HD TV, but I was gobsmacked when I found an online price of just $309!!
So...I got one! For the spare room.
It's great because if the children (well young adults) come to stay, they can go off and watch their favourite soap, soccer or play a game without badgering me for use of the main TV or our bedroom. Although they do still tend to lock themsleves in and disappear for the night, depsite the fact they're supposed to be visiting!
The bottom line is this, if you need a small TV for the kitchen, spare room, the office or perhaps the college dorm, then the ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV is a brilliant buy and at an unbeatable price. I'm really pleased that companies ViewSonic and Vizio are making these great smaller HD sets and making them with real quality. There really is a niche that the Sonys and Samsungs have missed out on - delivering high quality small HD TV's at very affordable prices.
So, if you need a small, compact, yet beautiful LCD that proivdes excellent picture performance then you can not do any worse than get yourslef a ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV.

The ViewSonic VT2430 also offers a 5ms (millisecond) screen response rate which also goes a long way to defeating any screen blur when coupled with the other technologies. Certainly any doubts I had on buying a set with only a 60Hz refresh rate were totally overcome.
I was also hugely impressed by the natural but bright colors and the richness of the blacks. LCD has again traditionally been a bit "gray" in the black zone, but the ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV maintains dark, deep blacks giving excellent contrast with the bright and vibrant colors.
The ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV also has an internal HDTV tuner. As it happens this is needed given that there is only one HMDI input (it does have S-Video input as well), but in truth the set could probably do with an extra HDMI. However, at the price, there are really not any complaints - more on this in a minute.
The ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV can also double up as an outstanding PC monitor and works superbly well with games as well although you will have to rely on that one HDMI port for all uses. Sadly this does mean a bit of messing around with cables. And...unfortunately the same applies if you want to hook up a Blu-Ray via the HMDI, but the upside is a brilliant picture on DVD play for your trouble. But...if I'm honest, I think it's a small small price to pay given the amazing performance you get.
And...talking of small prices. The ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD comes up at a remarkable $359. That in itself is just a great price for an HD TV, but I was gobsmacked when I found an online price of just $309!!
So...I got one! For the spare room.
It's great because if the children (well young adults) come to stay, they can go off and watch their favourite soap, soccer or play a game without badgering me for use of the main TV or our bedroom. Although they do still tend to lock themsleves in and disappear for the night, depsite the fact they're supposed to be visiting and socialising!
The bottom line is this, if you need a small TV for the kitchen, spare room, the office or perhaps the college dorm, then the ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV is a brilliant buy and at an unbeatable price. I'm really pleased that companies ViewSonic and Vizio are making these great smaller HD sets and making them with real quality. There really is a niche that the Sonys and Samsungs have missed out on - delivering high quality small HD TV's at very affordable prices.
So, if you need a small, compact, yet beautiful LCD that proivdes excellent picture performance then you can not do any worse than get yourslef a ViewSonic VT2430 24 Inch LCD TV.

Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch 240 Hz LED HDTV
Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV
The Samsung UN55B8000 LED TV is something to behold. The Samsung 8000 range generally are the bets of the best, but the UN55B8000 really is a very special LED TV.
In short, the Samsung UN55B8000 LED TV gives you everything you could possibly want or need form a television.
Where do I start??
First of all the LED technology. Samsung employ some of the most advanced LED technology with the screen comprising a single flawless piece of super-fast liquid LED crystal. basically this means that the picture you see is true to life...it's like looking through an ultra clean pane of glass of the sunniest, rbightest day imaginable! This TV gives unparalled picture quality in my opinion (I have the 46 inch version).
And, the Samsung UN55B8000 LED TV is full 1080p high definition coupled with 240 Hz ultra fast screen refresh rate. What does this mean? Quite simply that the picture is the crispest, cleanest possible picture you can get on ANY TV! 240Hz is the fastest screen refresh available. And, whilist 120Hz offers almost no fast action blur, the 240Hz eliminates it to the human eye.
This means that your sport and action movie viewing is taken to the ultimate level. To best honest, even now, I am just gobsmacked by the sheer beauty of the picture!
There are a whole host of technologies that Samsung use to deliver this stunning, natural picture quality. They callk it names like "Ultra Clear Panel", "Auto Motion Plus 240Hz" and "Wide Color Enhancer Pro". However, all you need to know is that it's like watching real life.
The colors are stunning, bright, vibrant, apply any superlative! The whites pure and the blacks as dark as the deepest ocean floor. The contrast is crisp and the picture clarity outstanding.
The Samsung UN55B8000 provides the best picture quality and clarity I have seen on a LED TV. I thought that TV technology achieved a quantum leap with the first HD Plasmas and LCDs, but the Samsung LED TV UN55B8000 offers a similar leap in my opinion.
And, as the Samsung UN55B8000 is part of the Samsung 8000 series, it's top of the raneg in terms of functionality as well.
This set does everything!
Obviosuly there are the standard LED TV energy savings over Plasma and LCDs and the ultra slim design that makes the Samsung UN55B8000 LED TV a beautiful piece of furniture, but, there is also an amazing list of features and the most advanced "jack-pack".
Added to the 240 Hz refresh time there is a ultraquick 2 milisecond response time built in which ensures the total elimination of any chance of action blur.
Game mode is enhanced for more life like game play in terms fo enhanced picture and sound. This is the best game play picture I have seen anywhere.
And, sound is far better on the Samsung UN55B8000. There are two 10 watt speakers inclided and...a subwoofer for much more depth of sound that most LED TVs. There is also simulated surround sound, which actually works reasonably well. This is a major step forward for LED TVs.
There is a built in Flash library (2GB), advanced HDMI inputs (4) to allow stunning full 1080 HD picture input and the set is fully DNLA compatible (this means you can hook up virtually any mobile device). Oh, there are 2 USB ports and PC to PC as well.
The Samsung UN55B8000 even has parental controls built in! And, finally there is Media 2.0 to allow you to enjoy Internet TV in full HD.
The bottom line, this is just the best LED TV you can get if you can stand the budget. It has everything you could want coupled with stunning picture performance. I highly recommend the Samsung UN55B8000 LED TV if you are thinking of upgrading to LED...in my opinion, this set justifies the outlay...your family will love you for it!

Samsung UN46C7000 46 Inch 3D LED HD TV
Samsung UN46C7000 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV
I am going to be totally up front with you...I don't own a 3D TV, but with the release of the Samsung UN46C7000 3D LED TVI do feel qualified to comment as I own the sister non 3D version the UN46B8000.
So, regardless of the 3D element, this is a top notch LED TV. In fact it's exceptional and I absolutely LOVE my Samsung LED TV, it's probably the best consumer electronics buy I have ever made.
The picture is just so crisp and clean, it's like looking through a super clean pane of glass on the sunniest day ever! With the full 1080p HD and 240Hz refresh package the picture is just outsanding, I'm almost out of superlatives...yes I really do like my samsung LED TV. So, the Samsung UN46C7000 46 Inch 3D LED TV has the same exceptional crytsal clear, beautiful picture. The colors as just so bright and vibrant and the blacks truly black, not so much as a hint of gray. And the contrast is simply razor sharp.
To sum up the picture quality is amazing, like real life. If you rea dmy reviews you'll klnow I love my sport and action movies and both just "come to life" on the samsung UN46C7000 3D LED TV. LED is definitely the future.
But if LED is the future...what's in store for 3D?
I first saw 3D back in May on a visit to London. U.K satellite broadcaster Sky were showing of premier league soccer matches in 3D, but only in selected bars. Ummm, 3D TV being shown in a bar? The chance to see 3D TV in anger and have a few cold beers at the same time prooved far too good an opportunity to pass up!
I was also fortunate enough to be invited to the CEDIA exhibition while I was in London. This is trade sho9w where all the top in house entertainment, automation and AV people show off their latest wares. (It was a great trip this!) And, I managed to get myself a full 3D TV demo while I was there.
But before I talk about the experience, there are a few things you need to actually watch in 3D!
Most importantly you need a 3D source. You'll need a 3D channel (not much currently available) or a 3D DVD source and these are only available on Blu-Ray althougn there are some 3D games around.
However, there is really not much 3D source matrial about right now. One good source of 3D content is online where Internet@TV has a fair sized library you can access.
The main thing you'll need to exprience 3D is a special pair of 3D glasses. Now these things are not cheap! So, make sure you take into account the fact every member of the family will need a pair (and any guests you have), so take this cost into account if you are considering buying a 3D TV. Without these glasses a 3D picture is blurry and unwatchable.
Depending on the type you buy they will also need battries or charging. This is because the lenses oscillate to make the picture 3D to the eye. You can't see this oscillation with the naked eye while you have the glasses on, but it's there and it does give a much clearer 3D vision than those horrible card red and blue lensed things they give away in the newspaper or have in a bowl at the museum!
So what can you expect from 3D pictures on your Samsung UN46C7000 LED HD 3D TV?
Well, as with all LED TV technology, Samsung are definitely at the forefront. I have already said how much I rate Samsung and the UN4C7000 is no exception. It's a great piece of kit and has all the advantages I've talked about on other Samsung LED TV models.
According to Samsung the action "jumps off the screen" so you become "totally immersed in the action".
My view is that watching 3D is a unique if slightly unerving exprience, certainly initially. Watching the soccer when they annouced the teams the players profiles seemed to fly onto the screen from behind my head! Watching the game itself was again slightly weird. Maybe it's becaused we're used to seeing our sport in 2D, I'm not sure, but it had the feeling of a game rather than live TV. And I didn't think the pciture was as crisp as normal LED TV.
The demo I saw at CEDIA was a specific 3D demo, funnily enough on a samsung UN46C7000 LED HD 3D TV (which is why I picked this one to review). I particularly liked a scene with two canoeists white water canoeing down a canyon. The depth given to the canyon by 3D made for an exciting viewing experience for sure. And, when water splashed back at me and ran down the screen, well, it was a bit of a "wow" moment. They also had a steam train demo and the way the train smoke swirled around was also very good.
But, despite what they sales blurb says, (that the 3D glasses fit comfortably over normal glasses), they don't really and it was just ever so slightly uncomfortable after a while.
Not having a 3D TV myself and none of my HD TV Budies have yet to bite the bullet I did some Internet research on 3D TV. The general view that I found was that many people had some trouble getting their 3D TV sets to actually work in 3D! This sort of defeats the object somewhat!
But, once those teething problems had been overcome then 99.9% of the reviews I read were hugely positive. People who had embraced 3D absolutely loved it.
The Samsung UN46C7000 is certainly a pioneer in the LED 3D TV market and has also suffered some teething problems with many sets from the early runs requiring fixes and replacements. I understand these problems are now passed and that the latst batch of UN46C7000's are running smoothly and giving excellent 3D entertainment all over the States.
So, my conclusion? Well, I am yet to be convinced by 3D, especially as there is not much source material. So, I intend to hold fire for now. But...if you want to embrace 3D TV the technology does now seem stable and the number of sources will start to grow quickly now. And if you want to make that "step up" to 3D, there is no better starting point than the Samsung UN46C7000 46 inch LED 3D TV. In fact, the prices are really very good right now, so maybe it's a good time to take that first step into the brave new world of 3D TV?

Samsung UN46B8000 46 Inch LED HD TV
Samsung LED TV UN46B8000 Full HD 1080P 240 Hz Ultra Slim TV
I think it's fair to say that LED TV is here to stay and it's pretty obvious to see why when you check out the
Samsung UN46B8000 LED HD TV. It is undoubtedly a leader in the field...and the LED TV that this HD TV geek owns! On that basis I do feel fully qualified to comment on it :>)
Stunningly thin and sleek, it's designed as a flawless single piece of perfect crystal. On the Samsung UN46B8000's perfect LED screen, minute details are captured in perfect vivid detail on each and every frame. And, picture edge-blur has been totally eradicated as every single pixel delivers amazing full, deep, rich color and stunningly deep, dark blacks.
The Samsung UN46B8000 46 Inch LED HD TV is without dooubt one of the cleanest, most elegant televisions I have seen, which is one of the reasons I got it for myself. Having said that, the same can be said entire Samsung LED TV Series 8 range.
I found the picture produced to totally true to life, it's like looking through a perfectly clean pane of glass! For
ultimate picture performance you need the 3 Cs: Contrast, Color and Clarity. The Samsung LED TV UN46B8000 has them all - in abundance.
The Samsung UN46B8000 LED HD TV - Amazing Picture Clarity and Quality!
The best I have seen (and I spent a lot of time looking)
The Samsung UN46B8000 LED TV uses Samsungs amazing Mega Contrast Ratio feature which brings out all the shades of grey. It also uses a Wide Color Enhancer Pro with LED gamut which makes sure that each and every pixel (yes pixel, not just "screen area") is bright and vibrant giving you a stunning overall picture quality. According to Samsung this enables the TV to display a wider range of natural colours and provide greater depth, especially in the dark range resulting in a truly brilliant contrast. I have to agree as it was the stunning picture that closed the deal for me.
This TV also utilises the 240Hz Motion Plus technology which totally removes edge-blur. This means your picture remains smooth and crisp - no matter who frantic the action gets. You haven't lived until you've watched tennis, soccer or an action movie on a Samsung 8 Series LED TV.
In a nutshell... the Samsung LED TV UN46B8000 is a stunning TV. Image quality is great in standard definition, but to get the absolute best from this TV plug in a 1080p HD input it just comes alive! watching action movies or sport in an unbelieveable exprience.
And...it's only 29 mm deep - incredible! It also looks just as good off as it does on so, it doubles up as a nice
looking piece of furniture too.
As if this TV wasn't good enough, it's also good for the environment as well. Why? Well, because it uses LED technology it uses much less energy than its predecessor LCD and Plasmas. So not only does it save you more money in running costs, it helps the enviornment. If I'm honest, this wasn't a major factor in my decision making, but it helped make the decision a little easier.
The Samsung UN46B8000 also benefits from a stunning connectivity package. being the an 8000 set, it is top of the Samsung range so it has 4 HDMI ports, USB, direct PC connectivity, mobile device connectivity, extra gaming ports, direct ethernet, in fact you can pretty much plug and play any device which offers superb flexibility.
The Samsung LED TV UN46B8000 - One Downside, Easily Cured!
One of the downsides of all LED TV's is the sound quality they produce. The same applies to the Samsung UN46B8000 LED TV it's not brilliant. However,if you are buying a TV like this, you will probably already have or be in the process of getting yourself the required surround sound system. I always have mine plugging in and switched on now and it really does deliver the ultimate viewing experience!
Plug in a true 1080P HD source and watch this amazing TV come to life. Either HD Box or Blu Ray really do maximise the stunning picture quality and I guarantee you'll never want to go back to ordinary LCD or Plasma TV - good as they are!
The Samsung UN46B8000 LED HD TV is definitely one of the best HD TVs on the market especially when you compare viewing performance versus price. I've had my set for about 3 months now and I am absolutely delighted with it at ALL levels.
I can highly recommend the Samsung UN46B8000.

The Samsung UN46B8000 LED HD TV is definitely one of the best HD TVs on the market especially when you compare viewing performance versus price. I've had my set for about 3 months now and I am absolutely delighted with it at ALL levels.
I can highly recommend the Samsung UN46B8000.
