It's true, this is Samsung's first 60 Inch flat screen TV. Sizes that are already out there within the
8000 range embrace forty-six, fifty-five, and sixty-five inch screens.
So what is the purpose behind this? Well, there was a "hole" in the Samsung display size between
the 55 and 65 inch screens, but...my feeling is the purpose behind this move is the Sony XBR at
60 inches which has sold very well indeed. So, having missed a trick, I believe Samsung felt they
wanted to plug the gap.
The Samsung UN60D8000 3D LED TV has been designed to give a strong viewing experience on
its sixty inch screen. It produces full high-definition images at 1080p in both two and three
dimensions. It's "Broad Color Enhancer Plus" know-how makes colors and images remarkably
vivid. Further technical advances with "Ultra Clear Panel" also help coloration brightness and
produce a highly defined contrast. It also helps defeat that age-old flat screen drawback of picture
degradation from glare. The result's a really gorgeous image that has a very definite "wow" factor
the first time you watch it.
In addition to producing extraordinarily vibrant colors, this LED TV additionally ensures deep, rich
black tones and vivid whites. To make your contrast even better this Samsung 3D TV utilizes
"Micro Dimming Technology" to shut down the black areas of the screen producing a 25,000,000:1
contrast ratio...the best Samsung provide.
Another innovation incorporated into this 3D LED TV, to boost picture quality, is "Clear Motion
Rate 960". Samsung have deeply researched refresh rates, picture processor speed, and
backlight know-how to supply televisions with an incredibly Clear Motion Rate. This means that
they're capable of handling high-pace images with no visible distortion or degradation of quality.
This is definitely a push forward in Tech from Samsung, designed to provide them an "edge" over
manufacturers such as Vizio and LG. Nevertheless, it's still "active" 3D expertise versus the
quickly increasing momentum of passive 3D.
The technology contained throughout this 3D TV is designed to offer you the optimum viewing
experience in either 3D or 2D mode. You get free active shutter 3D glasses with the TV (just two
pairs) so you're set up for proper 3D from the outset. Certainly active shutter glasses have had not
had the best press (significantly from spectacle wearers) but Samsung say they have updated the
design and they are much lighter and more comfy now. Samsung also say they now fit over
normal glasses easily. They also have an extended battery life, another innovation that was badly
needed.
So, this TV undoubtedly provides an incredible viewing experience, but it is more than a simple
TV, it is a complete entertainment centre. It is a web prepared 3D LED TV with inbuilt Wi-Fi. It's
Skype enabled, that means that video calls can be made with all of the clarity that the television's
extensive technology delivers (if Skype stays robust which it has done too well lately).
2. And this TV is a "Smart" TV there is a huge downloadable library of content straight available from
the Internet. This offers you a large catalogue of films, music and social media to plug into. The set
additionally benefits from its own integral Internet browser for surfing. Any media which is DLNA
enabled can be seamlessly used through the TV. And you can transfer gadgets content wirelessly
to the Set utilizing Samsung's AllShare technology.In the unlikely event that you may wish to
connect up something else...there are the usual 4 HDMI inputs plus 3x USB ports an Ethernet and
pretty much everything else you might need.
The Samsung UN60D8000 3D LED TV is a continuation of Samsung's impressive array of high
quality television sets. Smart TVs are definitely more than just a TV...they act as complete
entertainment hubs in the home. And this particular Samsung TV includes the full gamut of options
that anyone could expect. No matter what you do with it, this TV comes up trumps, from Sport to
Internet, from 2D to 3D it delivers on every level and to an extremely highly indeed.
There's no doubt that we are in tough times with the current economic situation and TV gross
sales figures reflect this, however if have the budget and are looking to upgrade your TV, the
Samsung 3D TV UN60D8000 ticks every box possible!

I bought this TV from Amazon and received it the next day via UPS. I hooked it up and it works
flawlessly. The set-up is amazingly simple, the TV is very easy to set up and put together.
Everything is explained in detail and gives video demonstrations. I went ahead and calibrated the
TV using a calibration DVD and the TV offers some of the most superb and realistic picture quality
I have seen yet. The 3D is also much improved and it's nice they threw in 4 pairs of glases with it. I
have found that if you follow the directions that they show you very clearly in the demonstrations
and follow the process, the TV responds very accurately and very well. The motion controls are
probably the only thing that needs a very little amount of work, but I mean, compared to a Kinect, it
basically works the same way and is not more or less accurate then the Kinect, either. The TV's
black levels are the best I have seen for an LED set, coming close to the best of Plaasma's,
motion rate is extremely enhanced and 3D performance has no visible crosstalk or juttering as in
old sets. All in all, this is the best performing and high-est tech TV set available. It's also extremely
fast with the dual core processing, everything you do is a snap. Apps load very quickly, internet is
decent and the TV responds well. I have not had any issues from a weeks use of the TV. It has
worked flawlessly.
***UPDATE*** after further testing I have found one flaw. The media hub works well, however,
3. Netflix has an issue. It will only work half the time. Half the time it will not load a video and the TV
will reset, the other half it works fine. I haven't lost any settings yet, however, it is annoying. I have
reduced to 4 stars sInce it isn't the end of the world and will likely be fixed with a simple software
update. I watch a lot of Netflix, so Samsung, I know you will read these first reviews. This software
bug with Netflix needs to get fixed. I am an advanced tech lead for Sprint, I've already tried
everything to T/S the issue and other people reviews state the same. However, my TV has not had
its settings reset like others. This is my only small complaint, everything else works fine.
***UPDATE #2*** There was some kind of update to the TV last night and the resetting seams to
have stopped during Netflix and seams a bit more responsive, for now, but still not a guarantee
that it's fixed. I'm not sure what kind of update it was because the damn TV is so fast, I didn't see it
long enough before it was done. I'm pretty sure I will need to wait and test it more. However, it
seams to have stopped. The other thing I have noticed is that the LED lights at the bottom of the
screen in the middle seam brighter then the rest of the lights, but this is only noticeable in pure
100% darkness, which you'll see anyways, because it's still and LCD anyway you look at it. I have
also purchased a PN51E8000 TV for downstairs, it appears that the PN51E8000 has much darker
blacks in pure darkness, in fact, it's not far off from an OLED, however, I'll post a review of that
one later.
***UPDATE #3*** it appears that the reset issue with Netflix only appears when the smart hub has
issues connecting with Samsung. I have noticed that on weekdays, it works fairly well and can
connect to apps just fine. However, on weekends, it appears Samsungs servers can't currently
handle the traffic as I seam to get "network interference" issues and most apps won't connect,
even though my connection to the Internet is fine at 25mbps+ and when the apps are having
difficulty and you try to get on Netflix, it has trouble playing videos and gets stuck and then resets.
Other then these few small issues I have had with the TV and the connection to Samsungs media
hub, I continue to be blown away by the stellar 3D, the ridiculous crispness of the picture and the
smooth motion rate and I have gotten use to the voice commands. I was originally having
problems with it recognizing my voice, but after turning down our fan in our room, it seams to
recognize my voice very well now. So Samsung, hear me out... The network interference problems
have to get resolved and Netflix needs to be updated so it simply rebuffed instead of turning off the
TV. If this happens, I'll be a happy camper.
***UPDATE #4*** alright Samsung techs, here's one for ya and even though this doesn't actually
reflect my review of the TV itself, im not sure where the problem lays. I have an iPad as well as
two iPhone 4s's, all running iOS 5.1. The iPhones work great with the remote control, they always
find the tv and connect and work well. However, the iPad 2 Samsung remote does not work. It will
work right when you connect and allow it, but as soon as you don't use it for awhile, it stops
working and never reconnects, it gets an "unknown network error" and disconnects. I was so
fixated on getting it fixed that I even hard reset my iPad 2 and reinstalled the app and it still does it.
The only way I am able to use it is if I go into the TV settings to network all share and delete the
iPad from the allowed list and re-add it, until it stops working again after I don't use it for awhile.
Samsung, it is an absolute necessity that this is fixed ASAP!! I use my iPad to browse the net
while I watch tv and having the Samsung remote on it to control the Tav is essential. I am a total
multi tasker! Gosh I hope they read my post.
***UPDATE #5*** the Netflix app has no reset now in almost two weeks and we watch Netflix
almost on a daily basis... It has work flawlessly. The set seems to be performing much better after
4. a few weeks break-in (normal). I think this a great set, but Samsung still needs to update the iPad
remote app so it can actually work. I think this TV and PN51e8000 will be our last TVs for a few
years until OLED TVs become mainstream in 2014-2015. Manufacturers say they will have
mainstream 55inch sets for around $2k. Until then I might actually look into the evolution kits that
will come out to upgrade its features, if they are a good price, I might pick one up. If not, then
these will do until OLEDs are it.
