Samsung has worked harder than any other brand over the past handful of years to make inroads into Panasonic's dominance of the plasma TV market. And there can be no better evidence of just how far the Korean brand has come - with a TV technology which i...

The PS64E8000 is another outstanding reminder that if plasma really does only have one or maybe two more generations of existence as a serious TV force, then it will be a great loss to the AV community when it's gone.There's an argument to be made, perhap...

The AV press loves a good market battle, and ever since the ridiculous HD optical disc format war (which should never even have been allowed to reach consumers) was settled, things have been mostly peaceful in this industry. In terms of flat-panel disp...

A plasma TV that has the most features out of all the other models currently enjoying popularity? Yes, such a device exists. It's alive and kicking and it's called the $2,399 Samsung PN60E8000. This set is really the best in that department out of all the...

The 8000 series is the top of Samsung's line of 2012 plasma HDTVs, which means that every feature in Samsung's arsenal is packed into the PN60E8000 3D Smart TV. Of course, some may think that there may be one or two or a few too many features stuff...
The PN60E8000's picture quality is exactly what you would expect from Samsung's top-of-the-line plasma. And its Smart TV lineup of content providers and apps will keep you entertained on these long wintry nights. I would have preferred that Samsung bak...

As you can imagine, a downside to those Smart features is that using them can be complicated, even overwhelming. But if you really want a set with all the fixings, here's what else the E8000 series packs: built-in Wi-Fi (along with the ability to serve as...

It has been quite a while since we have looked at a TV, but today we are taking a look at the Samsung PN64E8000 series TV. This isn't Samsung's thinnest TV, but it is probably one of their most feature-rich TVs and one that will have a future life through...

If you've listened to Weekly Tech Update, you already know what I personally think of 3D TV. I think that 3D is over-rated. We did play around with the 3D up-converting feature as well as by playing original 3D content - and it's still pretty much the sam...

The 51-inch model from Samsung’s top-end E8000 Plasma TV series has been here with us for a while, going through our usual in-depth testing. We recently reviewed the 60″ version from the step-down E6500 series, and found it to be one of the best HDTVs...
The Samsung PS51E8000 is a great Plasma TV. It features good black levels, and since it's a PDP, those blacks are consistently dark across the entire screen surface and viewing area – even although they're not the absolute darkest out there. After only a...

The E8000 is Samsung’s flagship plasma TV and it comes in 51in and 64in models. It also has all the extras you expect from a Samsung smart TV, such as a host of internet services accessed via the Smart Hub, an integrated media player, 3D, and many cont...

The demerits are remarkably few. Apart from the rather tentative contrasts we've mentioned, the E8000 is no great shakes in the sound stakes (even by flatscreen standards it's a boneless, feeble and sibilant listen). And the design is slightly less up-to-...

Despite its clear preference for LED technology, Samsung also delivered some Panasonic-threatening plasma TVs last year. Unfortunately for Samsung, though, on the evidence of the recently reviewed Panasonic P50ST50 , Samsung's 2011 ‘gap-closing' efforts h...

We felt sure when we tested its P50ST50 that Panasonic had set a very high bar for 2012 plasma technology. So it's not entirely surprising to find that even Samsung's new flagship plasma set doesn't manage to scale the same picture heights, at least in...

Had we taken a vote on the 2011 TV of the Year, amongst the Hardware Review Team, it is probable that the Samsung E8000's predecessor, the D8000, would have been the recipient of the award. It would have been a close run thing, with Panasonic's Flagship P...

Too add to the near ubiquitous presence of the iPlayer and YouTube, there are also VoD services from Netlfix, LoveFilm and many more. Samsung's free 3D streaming service, Explore 3D has quite a lot of decent content but we did find the streaming to be a b...
