Picture

The Samsung 8000 series has user configurable 2D to 3D conversion capabilities allowing you to watch any video output in 3D with the two pair of rechargeable Active 3D glasses provided. Very little ghosting is evident with the Samsung UN60D8000 LED edge lighting producing a colorful picture with superb contrast. Micro Dimming Plus and a 25,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio keep the picture’s whites, blacks and colors adjusted to the ambient room lighting. That full 60 inch (diagonal) screen running a 240Hz refresh rate produces a breathtaking picture in both 2D and 3D.

Sound

You will think you are in your own private theater as the UN60D8000’s hidden twin 15-watt speakers use SRS TheaterSound to enhance their output from the bottom of the cabinet. The Samsung UN60D8000 also ships with an auto volume leveler app to adjust for sound spikes and those annoying jumps in volume from commercials.

Internet Applications

Smart TV with Samsung Apps gives you access to the largest number of Internet applications currently available in the HDTV market. Now you can watch movies from Netflix or Blockbuster, as well as TV shows from Hulu and Next Level sports information from ESPN. When you just want to listen to music while cleaning the house or preparing dinner, stream your favorite music lists from Rhapsody or Pandora. For those folks who can’t be without knowing the latest updates to Facebook or Twitter, now you don’t have to run over to your laptop to check your status. It’s all right there on the TV. The Samsung UN60D8000 can be connected to your home network via Ethernet cable or wirelessly with its internal 802.11n class transmitter. Using Samsung’s Smart Hub, you can launch any media, social app or jump on the Internet using the browser from a single screen. The Samsung 8000 class of HDTVs is unique in offering full Internet browsing capability while also using PiP to continue watching your movie or show. If you can’t live without your Skype, then rest easy knowing that you can use the picture-in-a-picture feature to Skype your friends and let others know you are busy “working.”

Cabinet

The UN60D8000 is 0.2 inches thick with a brushed metal bezel. The large 60 inch screen is framed by a thin titanium cabinet that creates the impression of a picture frame. The silver frame is most appealing and when wall mounted, you feel like your viewing a piece of artwork. It will sit nearly 14 inches deep when using the matching swivel stand. At 48 pounds without a stand and a full 54 inches wide, the Samsung UN60D8000 requires two people to safely move and position.

Set-Up

The UN60D8000 has a unique remote. One side contains the TV style controls while the other side features a QWERTY keyboard and display window for text entries to your on screen social apps or the browser. The remote senses which side is up and deactivates the other side. With the included quick start guide and remote you can have the Samsung UN60D8000 configured and operational in minutes.

A big plus for 3D fans are the two pairs of active rechargeable 3D glasses included to get you started. If you wear prescription glasses, just slide the 3D glasses right over your regular glasses. One new feature worth mentioning is yet another way to get more out of your iPhone or Android phone. You can use your smartphone to control you TV when connected to the same network.

Connections

Arranged in a corner style behind the right lower corner of the Samsung UN60D8000 are all the usual connections. A total four HDMI inputs to connect your HD capable components are accessible from the bottom or right side behind the cabinet. You will also find your HDTV antenna RF connector here. Standard composite video, component video and stereo inputs, computer RGB connection, Ethernet jack and a digital audio optical connection are also available for your analog devices. Three USB ports are provided for easy connection of digital media players and cameras for digital music, images and video. Samsung’s included AllShare application wirelessly synchronizes media between the HDTV, PC and other compatible mobile devices.

Conclusion

The Samsung UN60D8000 LCD 3D HDTV provides more features than any other 3D set in the 60 inch class. Full web browsing capability and the QWERTY keyboard remote are unique features for this set.
