Samsung PND8000 review: Samsung PND8000

Samsung PND8000

The ; series has outstanding overall picture quality, with excellent black-level performance, and the most accurate color of any TV we've ever reviewed. It can handle bright rooms well and exhibits the nearly perfect screen uniformity of plasma, as...

The relatively expensive PND8000 cannot produce full shadow detail or proper 1080p/24 cadence without sacrificing some black-level performance. Smart Hub lacks Amazon Instant, its search is next to useless, and its interface can be cluttered and...

With picture quality that's nearly the equal of the tough competition, as well as best-in-class design and features, the Samsung PND8000 makes a strong case for being the best overall plasma TV of 2011.

Samsung PN51D8000

While it's not for the thin of wallet or flimsy of fuse box, the Samsung PN51D8000 is an excellent, full-featured 3D plasma HDTV that delivers plenty of bang for its significant buck.

Slick design with a thin panel. Superb picture quality with excellent shadow detail. Includes 3D support, built-in Wi-Fi, and a wide selection of services and apps. Useful remote with a QWERTY keyboard and both IR and Bluetooth connectivity.

Expensive. Not energy efficient.

Performance and Conclusions Picture quality is top notch, with excellent white levels, black levels, and colors out of the box, along with a broad selection of picture tweaks to perfect the view. We use a chromameter and DisplayMate software to measure...

Samsung PN51D8000 51" Plasma SmartTV Review

We do a video review of the Samsung PN51D8000 51" Plasma SmartTV and find it to be a really stellar performer, with deep, rich blacks and a feature set that allows it to be everything all at once.

Samsung PN59D8000

The Samsung PN59D8000 ($2,599 MSRP) is Samsung's flagship plasma TV for 2011. It certainly looks beautiful in brushed metal, but will this 1080p, 3D display live up to your hopes, dreams, and $1,000+ investment? We found it to have good black & white...

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...

The PN64D8000 is the top of the line for Samsungs 2011 Plasma lineup, and it has a feature list to match, with built in WiFi, internet streaming and the ability to run apps from Samsungs' new online app store. Although the feature list is wide, the...

The PN64D8000 is the top of the line for Samsung in 2011 as far as Plasma HDTVs go. Their LCD lines has been their main focus recently, but their plasma lineup still remains an attractive alternative, providing a lot of performance and a feature set to...

Samsung PN59D8000 3D Plasma HDTV Reviewed

Samsung continues to embrace 3D technology by introducing the PN59D8000 plasma HDTV, which has the ability to convert 2D content to 3D amongst other features. Adrienne Maxwell takes a look at all the features....

The PN59D8000 is a 3DTV, and it supports 2D-to-3D conversion ; Samsung's robust Smart Hub platform is available, with a host of video-on-demand, music-on-demand, social-networking, and other services. Skype and DLNA media streaming are also supported ;...

The package only includes one pair of 3D glasses. Active-shutter 3D glasses are generally more expensive than passive glasses, although Samsung does offer glasses for only $30 ; Plasma TVs generally aren't as bright as LCDs, which is a concern with...

Over the past few years, Samsung has really stepped up its game in the plasma division. While I did not review this particular TV, I recently spent some time with the step-down PN51D6500...
