The best bit about the Samsung PS64D8000 is the picture quality. The plasma screen measures in at 64 inches – big enough to fill even the largest abode – and it offers stunning colour reproduction. Blacks are among the deepest we've seen on any TV
With crisp whites and a great contrast on offer. The Samsung PS64D8000 is packed with other technology too. It features active 3

The Samsung PS64D8000 is a great TV
But it's a shame that you only get one pair of 3D glasses. They're not cheap to buy
And if your friends and family want to join in on the 3D action
Abstract: Compared to most TV manufacturers that have walked away from the plasma TV segment in favor of LED/LCD technology, Samsung certainly hasn’t given up on the category, and recently laid claim to top spot in larger size plasma TV sales (they only have...

The Samsung PND8000 series has outstanding overall picture quality, with excellent black-level performance, and the most accurate color of any TV we've ever reviewed. It can handle bright rooms well and exhibits the nearly perfect screen uniformity of pla
The relatively expensive PND8000 cannot produce full shadow detail or proper 1080p/24 cadence without sacrificing some black-level performance. Smart Hub lacks Amazon Instant, its search is next to useless, and its interface can be cluttered and confusing
With picture quality that's nearly the equal of the tough competition, as well as best-in-class design and features, the Samsung PND8000 makes a strong case for being the best overall plasma TV of 2011.

Smart Hub too slow, Average contrast for 2D, Loses web connection
We're pretty sure the 'new kind of TV' promised by Apple TV and Sony, among others, will improve on Samsung's Smart Hub - but, for now, it's a good place to start. Boasting enough features to be deemed at least a mid-to-high-end TV, the Samsung PS51D8000 ...
The Samsung Series 8 is a 59in Full HD plasma television with extensive IPTV and 3D capabilities. It slots in-between the Samsung Series 8 52 inch (PS51D8000) and Samsung Series 8 64 inch (PS64D8000) in the company's 2011 plasma lineup. Product highligh...
Excellent picture quality, Great design, Impressive sound quality from a thin TV
The Series 6 might be slightly better value, EPG is slow to load and navigate
The 2011 edition of Samsung's Series 8 plasma is, as we'd expected, an impressive piece of technology. Its sound and visuals are great, and the inclusion of various 'Smart TV' features makes the Series 8 a useful multimedia device as well as a traditional...
