While the C8000 is not technically TV Samsung’s flagship for 2010 – that honor belongs C9000 1 / 3 “deep, which costs $ 6,000 – it’s best foot forward from Samsung regarding the quality of the image is concerned. With that in mind, I have to say that there is a big disappointment. I really valued the same way on my side of C7000. I will say in advance that he does better than the C7000 at some points. I think the C8000 would be considered on the basis of higher standards or higher level. The C7000 does not represent the best effort from Samsung for picture quality and therefore need not meet the expectations of some who C8000. why could not I give the C8000 more than 3 stars. I will start by going quickly on some of the good things about it . If you like titanium which has a brushed silver look strong, and chrome, you’ll love the design. I’m sure there will be a little too ostentatious for some, but others are good. In all, ignoring personal feelings, I think we should admit that the design is ultimately a rousing success. The game speaks for itself, and stands up against the characteristics of other channels. The remote is wonderful and it is also remarkable that the TV itself. None of these elements reduces the odds of TV. It is the image quality alone really brings partition.Niveau black: black level reached by the C8000 is very good, but must still be considered a disappointment. The black level is not as deep or realistic as you would expect on a TV of this level . Samsung is touting the accuracy dimming feature of this series since the first specifications were released a few months ago. They made it sound so this foreclosure precision would this set to reach black levels that rival any comprehensive local dimming LED LCD or plasma. Well, I’m sorry, it was not. accuracies voiced feature is not working properly as it should. The black level on this TV is very good. Basically, it’s somewhere between most of the series to the LED perimeter lighting and all the light control local games or plasma high-end. It’s really not what I think we all thought he would, and he really does not hold up to what Samsung said can be done with precision dimming function. Given the price of this TV, and the fact that it is the best effort from Samsung for Excellence in 2010, the black level is really not up. Due to the fact that the black level is not what it could or should be, shadow delineation is only average. You will not find details in the shadows you are on a TV with a better level of all black. Shadow detail is good, it’s just not what you lived on a TV, a deeper shade more realistic noir.Couleur Accuracy: There is no reason to say many things here. Colour rendering, saturation and overall color in any viewing environment is essentially flawless. I can not take points here. The truth of color and how colors appear on the TV regardless of which mode will be used strictly magnifique.Traitement Video / Motion Resolution: C8000 will definitely lose some points here. It is really sad that Samsung was perfect this feature in many of their previous series high end. It seems as if they just tried to do too much with this feature on the C8000. When I say I believe there are simply too many adjustable parameters that affect the reading resolution video / motion, and it appears that this may cause some problems. The biggest flaw I found is that this TV is unable to properly handle 1080/24p content. When I saw my first blu ray on this tv – which happened to be Sherlock Holmes – every time the camera panned on something, I almost thought it looked fun. I really did not see the judder inherent film. He looked good synthetic. Nothing that I am accustomed to dealing with this TV content in an appropriate manner. Therefore, I used 2 sheets with different patterns of calibration test and maize in several films that I know for a panoramic camera scenes. My fears were confirmed, whatever parameters you use, or how you set the Auto Motion Plus 240Hz feature on 24fps content can not be adequately treated with normal programming téléviseur.Définition / HD programming from satellite or cable broadcasts in 1080i or 720p: This aspect is another major misstep on the part of the C8000. television simply can not deinterlacing 1080i content is displayed correctly. (I confirmed this with two test models), there also seems to be very difficult to convert SD signals 480th This means that all broadcast HD and standard definition programming – while he still looks good – a loss of quality in the details. The main images are displayed – introducing an actor in a close-up – seem to still, but the details in the background looks pretty bad. Many people do not even notice such a thing, if not a major problem. I believe that television of this caliber should never have problems with something as simple as that. However, I will remember that most viewers do not notice or care about it, so I do not have much to deduct from tout.3D Television/3D Blu-ray viewing: The C8000 to be awarded bonus points is important here (albeit with a huge reserve). I have to admit, shows a 3D Blu-ray on this TV – especially with the latest firmware, which allows adaptation and adjustment of the level of 3D – is insanely impressive. I could not help thinking that this is an engineering marvel. The conversion feature 2D to 3D – while not nearly as impressive as looking at the person 3D content – is quite remarkable. Overall, the 3D aspect of this TV is undoubtedly the greatest strength. However, I must mention something that should be considered a major problem with the 3D feature. When you are in 3D, adjusts the TV will automatically backlight, contrast and brightness on the TV, while changing the image mode. It is understandable because the port trigger active 3D glasses really the picture becomes. The biggest problem is that when the backlight, contrast and brightness is up on this TV, is the screen dark sky full of clouds. Light begins to shine in several areas of education. It seems awful. It is very disturbing , and really takes away from the 3D viewing experience. If you manually adjust the parameters of lower contrast, backlight and brightness, or switch to a dimmer picture is absolutely ruins 3D on the TV. It’s a lose-lose situation. In order to take full advantage of 3D visualization, should be the parameters that affect the brightness and contrast to be high, but causing a slight leak into your setting and the TV is too small to give you an immersive experience 3D.Pris as a whole, the C8000 is a good TV. The property is not a word you would use to describe extremely expensive, almost flagship television that best describe the effort as a company image quality for an entire year. The C8000 is better than the C7000, but not enough better to justify a higher stars. Especially if Considering the fact that C7000 was never meant to be anything other than Samsung 3D TV and have less than half the hype that surrounds it, or create expectations that are half the C8000. The accuracy of Dimming is essentially a gimmick, and not allows the television to reach a level of black is much better than other types of edge-lit LEDs. The icing on the cake review, I will say I am very excited by this TV. I have already started again, and I will anticipate and LX900 HX900 Sony, LG EL 9500, and the plasma filter PN63C8000 true black light / daytime viewing. After the detention and return both the C7000 and C8000, I gave the Samsung LED LCD was 2010.Mise Update: The following questions were put to me in the comments – the black levels much – Whether it blooms? – What are the effects flashlight? – Is the screen clean on its through a window? – Is regular Bluray TV standard 2D and beautiful to the eye? J I promised that I would go in and update my review to give simple answers to these questions. Read the comments section for additional information about this TV .- The black levels are good? Yes. The black level is reached with this TV is very good. An important point to remember is that the black level is very good while watching on TV directly from the center, but getting a bit gray and blue as the distance from the center point of view. Now ask yourself this question. Do you think black level quite reached by a producer of best effort quality of image in one of his sets would be very good or better than that? Again, this is television the highest yield of image quality you get from Samsung 2010th Do you think the black level should be better than me? I have no doubt. I like to pay $ 3,000 for a TV will have a black level which is quite superb. Especially as a TV you have paid for many, it is best to do it all this year. The black level on this TV is mainly black level on the other edge-lit LED – B8000, B7000, C7000, etc. – together. In most visualization environments, it is identical. In a completely dark room, it is hardly more. Some will even say that there is hardly any better. Do you not agree that this is not what the real dimming function properly. Samsung said that the accuracy of Dimming would enable television to achieve a black level corresponding to a full range of local television graduation without flowering. Yes, he did not .- it flourish? Blooming on this TV is very rare. You will uncover some small flowering times, but only in very dark scenes where something very light is also present. Imagine a scene where 90% of it is hidden, but it is against this background. A good example would be a Rorshach scenes in Watchmen. Flowering is greatly improved compared with the full range dimming local firm, but you will still only see him from time to time. The truth of Dimming did work blossom. Now if only he could do his work on black level and eliminate the light shining through the panel .- What are the effects flashlight? As I originally stated in my opinion it is very present during the display of 3D content. I guess I should have elaborated and said that if you raise one of the image parameters that affect the brightness of this Television, is the effect of torch very sensitive and annoying. You will see by using the “dynamic” image, or if you are not present contrast, brightness, backlight and settings in “Standard Image”. When you look at 3D content, TV will automatically take up these settings in particular light really starts to shine in the corners as elsewhere on the panel. If the display of television in the “Standard” mode, regardless of environmental considerations, without any of these parameters, the effect will be almost invisible Torch. If you watch television with “Movie” mode, in a completely dark room, the flashlight effect nil .- Is the screen wash is on the front of a window, if you watch a movie with many dark scenes – think Harry Potter or something similar – the picture would not be a wash, but the discussion would create great difficulties to display content. If you watch the brilliant animated content such as sports events or animation, or if you are watching TV or Blu-ray, which is full of lighted scenes, will the picture still looks wonderful. It would not be washed or difficult to see any reason at all. The total impact is on the screen what you need for an LCD TV. The picture looks the best right in the center sweet spot, and gets worse when you move left or right , or if you are watching TV more than 2D .- Is Blu-ray and standard TV pretty to the eye? I think I addressed this quite well in my original review but I’ll try to be more fundamental to answer that question. 2D Blu -ray looks good. They look much like they would watch TV very well. There are many TVs that will display a Blu-ray, and what television does. In most visualization environments – especially the bright days and appear – while watching a Blu-ray on this TV look like in most other games on LED lighting and very good traditional gaming LCD. television standard and high definition TV programs look great, but all pickiest téléspectateurs.J really hope that this health. Please understand that this TV should be evaluated on a scale higher than the C7000 and other leading lights fixed on the basis of what Samsung says Dimming accuracy. It is also noted for a higher standard, because Samsung for this TV to be superb. In essence, you need to evaluate the C7000 compared to other TVs in this class, the C8000 compared to other TVs in its class. It really is not pretty, and lots of televisions, which cost a lot less gives you the image quality exactly the same (but without 3D). If you absolutely must have in 3D at the moment, the plasma is not an option for you, and you can not wait for a better TV from Sony or LG is not the worst decision you can make . But you have paid nearly $ 3,000 for a simple TV very well. If you can not wait and would rather spend $ 3,000 on a TV suspended, it will certainly be much better TV out in the next mois.Note: 3 / 5
