Attractive design, Bright image, Good resolution, Reduced glare, Great picture

Bad interface, Poor sound

The Samsung ES8000 Series is very attractive because of its striking design and large set of seemingly very advanced features, but after using it for a couple of weeks, I fell back to the basics and I liked the TV because the image quality was very...

The reason we have been a little strict in our scrutiny, is that the TV is 3,50,000. That’s steep. It’s a flagship model no doubt, and does come across as one, but for that price we need a level near to flawlessness. This model is not flawless. It’s a...

Stunning slim bezel and profile ; Two pairs of active 3D glasses included ; Comprehensive picture adjustment options ; Capable of extreme brightness ; Excellent color when properly calibrated ; QWERTY Bluetooth remote

Brightness uniformity problems ; Highly reflective glass panel ; Picture settings can’t be copied to other inputs

There’s nothing else quite like the UN46D8000 TV and its barely visible bezel. The TV makes a big visual statement whether it is turned on or not.

Top-notch image quality ; Outstanding feature selection ; Very good color in 3D scenes

Somewhat expensive ; Minor motion issues

The Samsung UN46D8000 preserves Samsung's reputation for state-of-the-art technology in a full-featured, 1080p 46-inch set, but it does cost more than some very strong rivals.

Great contrast ratio ; Smooth motion ; The best 3D we’ve seen so far

Terrible viewing angle

The Samsung UN60D8000 ($4299 MSRP) packs in every feature we’ve ever heard of, along with quite a few we’d never heard of. The TV is as thin as they come, with the panel measuring only 1.2 inches. The gleaming, 4-legged pedestal is also a pleasant...

Great contrast ratio ; Great motion performance

Color performance was a bit off ; Narrow viewing angle for a plasma TV

With a brushed metal design and an innovative, double-sided QWERTY keyboard, Samsung spared no detail in designing this 59-inch 1080p, plasma TV for 2011. Samsung calls it a 59-inch screen “+1,” apparently to emphasize that its bezel is an inch...

Great video and solid audio in a thin package ; Top-notch Internet apps, including Skype

Pricey for its class ; Remote could be easier to use

The Samsung C8000 series delivers outstanding video and audio, plus a ton of well-designed Internet and media player features--for a hefty fee.

The Samsung UN46C8000 ($2799 MSRP) is a very good television, but it's not perfect. The contrast ratio was fantastic, according to our tests. But because we couldn't disable the dynamic contrast ratio, it may have gained some ill-gotten points. You may...
