Samsung UN55B8000 Review: 55” LED HDTV

Up for Review: Samsung UN55B8000 LED TV. Because of LED technology, the Samsung UN55B8000 is extremely thin in design. It is hardly more than an inch in depth at the thickest positions. This gives a sleek look to the TV. With a slim bezel and matching stand, this HDTV has looks to catch the eye. The neck connecting the TV to the stand is made of transparent crystal, giving the TV a fresh look. You can hang the HDTV on the wall just like a pretty picture. A thin grey outline adds elegance to the TV on the wall.

A review of the Samsung UN55B8000 shows that it has a contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1. This is abnormally high and has to be tested under normal conditions to see the actual contrast in the pictures. Consequently, the black levels are very good too. The dark scenes truly appear to be dark, at the same time keeping in focus the other parts of the images. This HDTV also supports a huge variety of color shades making the pictures appear very life–like. It also supports 240 Hz refresh rate which removes all the blurring from the TV.
