Samsung 65D8000 Design Highlight

The Samsung 65D8000 comes as close to “naked” as you’ll ever see outside a projector. It doesn’t have much of anything around the screen, and the measurements are as sexy as any to TV design aficionados: the “bezel” is 0.2 inch by Samsung’s count, and the distance from the edge of the picture to the edge of our 55-inch review sample’s panel is 0.375 inch according to our tape measure.

We’ve long lauded the “all-picture” look as the pinnacle of TV design, and Samsung’s newest high-end LEDs come closer than any TV so far. In person the image almost floats against the background, and the set’s ethereal feel is best conveyed by wall-mounting–and getting as large a size as you can afford. As an added bonus, hanging the UND8000 like a work of art allows you to lose the goofy spider stand.

The main difference between the designs of the UND8000 and the equally thin, and less expensive, UND7000 series is a chrome edge on the former and clear acrylic on the latter (both frame the picture with a thin strip of black inside the edge). We actually prefer the UND7000′s transparent version since it looks even slimmer, but the chrome is really sleek too.

Samsung’s logo along the bottom edge makes the frame bulge a bit–we wish it could have branded the TV without the bulge. The logo illumination can be defeated. Since there’s no room on the front of the bezel for buttons, Samsung placed touch-sensitive controls on the side and a display pops up on the screen alongside the buttons; a cool touch, so to speak, but not as sensitive as we’d like.

Samsung 65D8000 Remote Control and Menu

The remote included with flagship Samsung TVs like the UND8000 is a flipper. The top side of the wedge-shaped rectangle offers standard TV controls that shoot infrared commands to the TV, while the bottom gets a full QWERTY keypad along with a screen, and works via Bluetooth (which doesn’t need line-of-sight).

Our first experience with the new remote was frustrating: its screen said “need pairing” and despite our best efforts, which included initiating pairing while holding it close to the TV (as suggested by HD Guru), reinserting the batteries, and cursing, we couldn’t get it to work. So we consulted Samsung and, after a reset sequence (simultaneously pressing @+Backspace on the QWERTY side; then Mute, 0, Mute, 0 on front side; then pairing by simultaneously pressing Sym+Tab on QWERTY side while holding the remote behind the TV, within a few inches of the back left side), it finally paired. Samsung says a firmware update eases pairing, so hopefully our issues won’t plague all users of the remote.

We liked the clicker more than the QWERTY remotes included with Vizio’s current models or Sony’s Google TVs, but that’s not saying much. The screen is its best feature, allowing you to see what you’re typing without having to look up at the TV. Spacing and key action were improvements on the other two. Unlike the flipper found on the Boxee Box, Samsung’s remote can sense which side is up and automatically deactivates the bottom side.

While we appreciated the little thumb touch-cursor control better than Sony’s when using the browser, it was still quite difficult to control. The lack of backlighting on the QWERTY side was a major flaw–it was simply impossible to use the remote in the dark–and all told we actually liked using our Android phone as a remote best of all (see the “Streaming and apps” section below).

Samsung’s 2011 TV menus have been refreshed and also feel a bit snappier than before. The main column of adjustments, formerly transparent, is now bright opaque blue on the D6400, with rounded edges and good-sized text. Each major menu item gets a text explanation and many are accompanied by helpful little illustrations.

Samsung 65D8000 Features

From Samsung’s perspective, the main step-up feature that differentiates the Samsung UN65D8000 series from the UND7000 models is local dimming from its edge-lit LED backlight. Samsung calls it “micro dimming” this year, and says it uses more zones than on the UNC8000 from 2010–not divulging how many–and touts a new light dispersal plate said to improve picture uniformity. It doesn’t work very well as far as we can tell, however.

We indicate above that Samsung includes 3D glasses because the UND8000 series is currently widely available bundled for free with a 3D starter kit, which includes 3D Blu-ray exclusives (“Shrek: The Complete Collection 3D” and a voucher for “Megamind”) as well as two pairs of Samsung’s new active 3D glasses, model number SSG-3100GB (extra pairs cost $50 each). The UND8000 series is incompatible with 2010 glasses models. Bluetooth does make the new glasses easier to use, and they keep sync much better than the old infrared versions. Below you can see the optional SSG-3700CR glasses, which are sleeker, lighter, rechargeable, and expensive.

Overall, this device is AWESOME!! Thin Bezel makes it look like it is floating in thin air. This is a great investment and hard to find 65 in LED. Get today Best Price on Samsung 65D8000.
