BRILLIANT IN HD, BUT WITH MEDIOCRE 3D PERFORMANCE.
     Leading the pack for the slew of new TV releases is the Samsung D8000, which is an amalgamation of all the latest technologies and newest features you can likely find on an HDTV today. This flagship model looks the part with its ultra-slim profile and 5mm brushed metal aluminum bezel which gives the display a borderless feel. A modern, minimalist look means that you would have no qualms making it the focal point of your living room.
     One of the major draws of the D8000 is its Smart TV capabilities. Labeled as the Smart Huh, this feature really takes your viewing experience above and beyond that offered by regular models. You can now access the internet content on YouTube via a native application along with video-cn-demand, TV Shows and movies. To top it all off social networking has been integrated into the Smart Hub as well which means you can be logged In to Facebook and TWitter while watching your TV.
     Samsung has not overlooked the core functionality of the D8000, wich performed admirably during our tests. Display for HD content was a particular high point with the LED Backlight providing a pleasant viewing experience. The screen suffered from neither light bleeding nor non-uniform display, which are two drawbacks found on some HDTVs with LED backlighting. Micro-dimming abilities also ensured that black tones were dutifully rendered. In fact, the Samsung D8000 seemed to have a dedicated menu option to adjust all important aspects of viewing, including flesh tone correction, noise reduction and motion enhancement. Excellent cadence detection and playback of 24p content provided further proof that this is a well-thought- out and well-engineered HDTV.

     Unfortunately the D8000 falters when handling upscaled Standard Definition content as artifacts were clearly visible during our tests. Even after fiddling with the settings and calibration, no sign ficant improvement was achieved.Performance for 3D was similarly underwhelming and playback nad ghosting and cross-talk. The disappointing 3D capabilities of the Samsung D8000 are surprising since the feature is poised to become one of the most important for HDTVs to come.
     Overall the samsung D8000 is a mixed bag. It works brilliantly in HD, but is merely average when it comes to SD content. On the other hand, it does have an expansive and well-executed Smart Hub catering to consumer needs, but then merely provides a mediocre 3D experience . If you just want a TV with excellent HD playback capability and 3D Support being a bonus, then we would recommend the D8000 in a heartbeat.
