THE GOOD The B8000 Line is LED TV using Edge technology which offers deeper black levels than standard LCD TV. It uses 24fps native sources. Internet Widget option such as TV Guide or Rallycast which allows you to have access to your phone’s text messages, facebook messages, twitter messages, fantasy sports leagues etc.
The only difference between the 8000 vs 8500 series is the way two panels are lit from behind, where the 8000 line is using older edge-lit technology vs local dimming used on the 8500 line.
It can stream videos, photos and music from DLNA-certified devices via network devices or USB ports. There’s also built-in “content,” such as recipes, games, workout guides and a slide show of high-def art and photos with music.
Samsung UNB8000 delivers very good picture quality which gets even better after a new firmware update “mid-September (version 2009/09/14_001013)” or newer. The update is designed to address the fluctuating backlight we saw on the UNB7000 and UNB6000. It delivers deep blacks that nearly matches black levels from top models from our list. As for the color accuracy we gave it a solid B+ grade.
THE BAD
Fluctuating backlight noticeable when watching TV at night during dark scenes, however you can correct the problem with a new firmware update. Glossy Screen reflects light when watching in a bright room.
CONCLUSION
Besides Sharp LED TV Models this is one of the most energy efficient TV with annual energy cost after calibration: $22.67. B8000 Series delivers brilliant picture quality that won’t dissapoint.
