Looks amazing
Very thin
Awesome LED pics
By having its LED backlights dotted around the edge of the screen
The Samsung UE40B8000 can be much skinnier than the average flat panel TV. At a mere 30mm in depth
It’s positively size zero – and that’s with all the electronics

The editors didn't like
Sound is very poor
One thing the skinny frame does impact upon is sound quality
As the speakers have to be extremely thin to fit. This makes audio reedy and
Well
Thin
Which means you’ll need to team the Samsung UE40B8000 up with some separate speakers if you want...
Especially weak sound
Can be beaten for black insight and colour balance
Online service needs expanding
Black levels from some sources seem flat
200Hz can cause picture artefacts
Sound is a bit weak. Viewing angle could be better
Backlight is patchy on all-black scenes and seems to have trouble adjusting itself quickly enough to on-screen changes in illumination
Excellent image quality, Wide range of connection options, Deep blacks and accurate colour reproduction, Heaps of features including media streaming and Internet widgets.
Some backlght flaring at bottom left and right of screen
Abstract: With the market awash in all manner of LCD TV, Plasma and OLED on the horizon, its hard to find something that you can spend your money on and be confident you are getting the very best. When it comes to LCD TV, the Samsung LED backlit Series 8 is eas...
Great Media@2.0 features, vibrant picture, ultra-modern styling, adjustable 200Hz mode
Backlight clouding under specific conditions, can’t easily use analog connectors when wall-mounted
Apart from some problems with the LED backlighting under very specific test conditions, the Samsung UA46B8000 LED television has exceptionally good picture quality: 200Hz motion smoothing and a high dynamic contrast ratio combine to make even standard...
Abstract: I was watching a movie on Samsung's Series 8000 LED television when I heard crying from the main lounge. It was my television, packing a sad because I was showing the shiny new Samsung more attention than it. How could I not? The Samsung LED made my ro...
Great looks, very sleek design, Colors look awesome, quite accurate and vibrant, Good number of features
Expensive, Greyscale has a few flaws in depiction
Performance As a ritual we slid in our test material first, with the grayscale being the first test. In higher IRE whites, that is, in bright shades of grey, we saw a slight coloration, a warmer tinge. There is no blooming in high whites, and overall i...

Excellent picture quality; stunning design; overloaded with features; four HDMI ports.
Expensive; glossy panel not suited for bright rooms.
Abstract: Pour nous, le Samsung UE40B8000 n’a pas grand intérêt. Le 200 Hz n’apporte pas grand chose de plus que le 100 Hz du B7000 et du B6000. C’est un bon téléviseur mais beaucoup trop cher. Si vous voulez du LED (préférez le B7000 si le DLNA vous intéresse), l’intérêt du..
Abstract: Modèle haut de gamme de la série des derniers téléviseurs de la marque Samsung, l’UE46B8000 propose une large diagonale d’images, un rétro éclairage LED, une finesse époustouflante de moins de 3cm, un mode 200Hz. Ajoutez à cela une large gamme de conn...
Excellent contraste, Excellente qualité d'affichage sur la plupart des scènes, Télécommande rétroéclairée, Finesse du cadre et design, Aucune rémanence
Rétroéclairage dynamique pas débrayable (sauf en menu caché), Affichage trop fade sur les scènes sombres, Ecran brillant sujet aux reflets, Son moyen
Le B8000 est proche de la perfection. Dommage que le rétro-éclairage dynamique ne soit désactivable qu'en entrant dans un menu caché censé faire sauter la garantie. Ce défaut cumulé à sa dalle trop brillante et...
