But now the dust is settling, and the TVs are showing up on test benches, and to me, at least, in retrospect all the brouhaha seems sort of silly. The model in particular that showed up on HomeTechTell's test bench is the top-of-the-line (for its size, a...

Samsung positioned the ES8000 as its high-end flagship for 2012, and it shows. The TV comes with a staggering amount of extra features and interface options: a traditional remote, Samsung's new smart remote, and an IR blaster are all in the box. In additi...

Samsung’s 46inch ES8000 is arguably the most audaciously specified TV in the world. Not only does it come loaded with all the usual toys, it also breaks new ground with motion and voice control. See all TV reviews. To attract the set’s attention, you n...
The UE46ES8000 is a bold stab at redefining the high-end TV market, one that almost pays off. Even without its voice and motion control party tricks, this would be considered a highly desirable 3D TV, with a strong online proposition and characteristic...

There's a huge amount of good news to report about the Samsung UE46ES8000. It's a fantastic-looking 46in LCD TV with great picture quality and oodles of features. But we're going to start off this review with a moan, for it's yet another Samsung TV that s...

The Samsung UE46ES8000 is at heart a quite brilliant TV. It does its best to hide its potential behind some unhelpful - to say the least - picture presets, but provided you spend just a couple of minutes to work round those, it's capable of giving you som...

The UE55ES8000 is Samsung's most uncompromising TV yet. From the moment you first behold its almost sci-fi design and bold, dynamic pictures, you'll be entranced. Admittedly you'll need to calm these pictures for normal domestic viewing, but once that's...

The more Smart TVs develop, the more obvious it is that they need to be joined with innovative new control methods. So it's great to see Samsung's first TV of 2012 taking the bull by the horns and integrating no less than three cool new control systems. E...
