A Closer Look At The Samsung PN64D8000 Plasma HDTV
For 2011, Samsung released the edge-lit LED UND8000 series and the Plasma PND8000 series as its flagship HDTVs for the year. The Samsung PN64D8000 3D TV is part of the latter, and manages to live up to its reputation with a picture quality and 3D performance that outshines the rest of the competition.
Design
People who judge HDTV panels by their looks are sure to be pleased by the design of the PN64D8000. As opposed to the Plasma sets of previous years, after all, its bezel is only a little over an inch thick along the top and sides and seamlessly blends with the screen, that is also an inch wider for a ‘less frame, more picture’ appeal, or in Samsung’s words, the Plasma +1 technology. Though the frame may seem black at first, it is really titanium with a transparent edge, lending the panel more sophistication, and the stand, which swivels, is also out to make its own design statement, consisting of four metallic legs like Samsung’s other 2011 HDTVs.
The remote that comes with the PND8000 series will be the same one that comes using the UND8000 series – a flipper that has standard Tv controls on 1 side and QWERTY keys on the other. The clicker side controls the Tv via infrared technology while the QWERTY side is more sophisticated, utilizing Bluetooth technology. Each sides are really simple to use, too, though it would happen to be far better if each had been backlit. The corresponding on-screen menu is also a breeze to navigate, with an even far better lay-out and more beneficial hints.
Screen/Picture Clarity
The PN64D8000 has really deep black levels – among the deepest within the Plasma industry, which combined with rich colors, impeccable shadow detail and superb color accuracy, enables for breathtaking images.
This Samsung HDTV also has a CinemaSmooth mode, which enables it to process 1080/24p content properly with only slight hitching, though sacrificing some of the contrast. Motion resolution is also flawless, as expected of Plasmas, and 3D efficiency is really good, too, with little crosstalk compared to other sets. Even in bright rooms, the PN64D8000 continues to be able to deliver fantastic images.
Features
Aside from its active 3D technology and its capability to convert 2D content to 3D for a more spectacular viewing expertise, the PN64D8000 comes using the SmartHub, which consists of among the most advanced net browsers these days, the Skype feature, as well as a lengthy list of applications that enable viewers to access media content and details from the net. Picture controls are comprehensive, too, which includes a full-scale color management program, while connectivity choices are supplied by 4 HDMI inputs, 1 every for component and composite video, an ethernet port, a PC input and 3 USB ports. Built-in WiFi capability has been tossed in, too.
One more factor you ought to know about this Samsung 3D HDTV is the fact that it is not compatible using the 3D glasses released last year. This is not a reason to frown, though, because the glasses released this year are equipped with Bluetooth technology, making them much far better accessories.
With its stellar performance and eye-catching style, the Samsung PN64D8000 proves to be among the best within the class of plasma hdtvs these days and may even be Samsung’s best HDTV to date. Though pricey, people who want that additional dimension to their viewing expertise are sure to find the added cost worthwhile.
