The stand has a manual swivel function.Īll inputs are located on the back and as you would expect from Samsung the inputs are pointing either downwards or to the side, which is great if you are planning on wall mounting the TV. In 2010 Samsung introduced the four-legged stand on most high-end models (except the C9000) and this look has been transferred to the 2011 line-up as well. Besides the logo the silver bezel is completely clean. In the center of the bezel we find a small Samsung logo that is illuminated when the TV is turned on. I have not been a big fan of the plastic frames on previous Samsung LED models but this new D8000 TV looks elegant and exclusive with the new extremely slim bezel.

Samsung D8000 looks good but how good is picture quality? Can Samsung’s new Smart TV platform impress us? And has Samsung managed to improve 3D picture quality compared to last year’s LED models? FlatpanelsHD will find out in this Samsung D8000 review. In this review we will examine the D8000 flagship model with the new elegant design, Edge LED, 3D and the new Smart TV interface with Apps, internet browser and many more cool features. The new TVs are not only slim but Samsung has also managed to reduce the TV bezel to make it appear almost invisible. ![]() Try turning it off and you should see a marked increase in your TV's brightness.Samsung D8000 (LED) reviewSamsung impressed the world with their new 2011 TV line-up at CES 2011 in Las Vegas. That setting is designed to reduce blurring when there's movement in the images by briefly turning that bit of the backlight off, but a side-effect of that is that it can make moving images look darker and duller than they're supposed to be. That's because it adjusts the backlight according to the brightness of your room, so if it decides it can turn the brightness down a bit it will – often by more than I'd like.Īnother feature to look at is the Motion Lighting option, if your TV has it: Samsung also calls it LED Clear Motion. Ambient Light Detection in particular can leave your images a lot darker than you might want. While of course it's important to reduce energy consumption, sometimes Samsung's eco-friendly settings can be a little too aggressive. But for me I'd rather have the visuals in all their glory the games I play don't have that need for speed. I'm very aware that this is a personal preference thing, and if you're a gamer who plays a lot of fast-paced multiplayer then low lag is going to be important to you. In something like Horizon: Forbidden West, which is designed to be absolutely gorgeous, you're not quite getting the full picture. That's because it prioritises response time and low lag above picture quality, and I've found the colours less vibrant and the screen brightness to be a little lower when I'm in Game Mode. Your Samsung TV can automatically switch into Game Mode when it detects your Xbox Series X or PS5 starting up, but that mode can give you poorer picture quality.
