The New UN55B8500 1080p TV By Samsung – Review

Samsung ups the antes by creating breakthroughs that allow for a more intense viewing experience. From sports to your favorite movies, the Samsung UN55B8500 takes TV watching to another level.

Not only does the new Samsung model represent a leap in how you watch TV, but also on how you interact with your television.

Yes, First Impressions Count… And The UN55B8500 Delivers

What strikes you first, as you come face to face with this new Samsung model, is its sleek shape. Samsung has done a great job of packing incredible quality features into it’s razor-thin 1.6 inches deep frame supported by a very unique stand with an elegantly clear neck. The slim body hides an awesome beast with 7 million to 1 dynamic contrast ratio, sharper, bolder and brighter colors. The UN55B8500 television set uses LED local backlight dimming tech.

If you’re looking to place this television on a wall, then the people at Samsung have provided the optional Wall Mount that lets you hang it just like a picture frame. The UN55B8500 mounted looks more like a work of art, rather than a plain old boring television set, and that is exactly the idea. I personally like mine on the wall, but it looks good both ways.

Colors, Action and Clarity

The images become incredibly true to life because of the work Samsung has done in the Color, Contrast and Clarity department. Rich, deep blacks that were unavailable up until now on an LCD screen, pristine whites and the 7 million to one contrast ratio works to make the picture breathtaking.

But it goes even deeper, because the UN55B8500 has Advanced Color Processing that provides a much greater depth for a vibrant picture that captivates, even with subtle colors.

On top of this, the Auto Motion Plus 240Hz technology eliminates all motion blur. This results in a crisp, clear and smooth image no matter how much fast action there is on the screen.

Wide Color Enhancer Pro and the Auto Motion Plus 240Hz

The attention Samsung paid to the way the pictures are displayed on the screen pays off in smooth, sharp and fluid action that lets you see in detail even in the fast moments of a game or movie. The result is great depth of detail that other TVs don’t seem to have.

The Wide Color Enhancer Pro feature analyzes every pixel. Then it is stretched to it’s 3D limit. This creates full really lifelike colors on the screen. The picture seems to come to life.

The World Wide Web On The Samsung UN55B8500

Samsung makes it very easy to surf the net right on your TV. The set has widgets with which you can add, delete and watch content. This is displayed in the sidebar or across your screen.

This feature seemed kind of silly to me at first… until I understood it better. I don’t have to go my computer when I want to check out some stuff online.

Get On TV

It’s good that Samsung took into consideration that most of us want to access our photos and music, or watch our videos on the TV screen. Now you can do exactly that on the UN55B8500. You have access to your DLNA or PC wirelessly. See your content on the screen. It’s even easy to link in multiple PC’s.

You also do not need to leave your content on your storage devices. The Samsung UN55B8500 comes equiped with Multi-Media Center which runs on USB 2.0. With a very user friendly interface, you can access your files easily.

Using Content on Your New TV

Here’s yet another feature. Again, I thought it was a rather silly feature at first, but I quickly changed my oppinion when I actually put it to use.With the Samsung you can stock and use online content that you download and save.

Conclusion

The new HDTV LED UN55B8500 55 inch 1080p 240Hz is a truly outstanding effort by Samsung. It’s very easy to fall in love with this television set. The picture is incredible. It’s also full of useful and well thought out options.

The Samsung UN55B8500 is a fantastic TV for the home theater connoisseur.
