Samsung LED precision dimming

Cheaper edge-lit displays have a great cost and consumption advantage over LED with precision dimming / local dimming, but fall much short of the picture performance offered by Samsung’s C8000 precision dimming LED models.

Edge-lit LED LCD televisions dim and present light in clusters, which while still offering awesome image depth and trueness, lends itself to problems where light from seperate clusters ‘leak’ into the other clusters causing uneven and untrue representations of the black/white and color spectrums.

Samsung’s UNC8000 precission dimming more accurately and purely represents images by eliminating the problem of light or color from adajecent pixels leaking over, resulting in purer blacks, more whites, and more accurate representation of colors throughout the entire panel.

The Samsung C8000 series including the 46-inch UN46C8000 LED, 55-inch UN55C8000 LED, and 65-inch UN65C8000 LED utilize precission dimming to offer one of the most rich and realistic images ever produced on an LED LCD and it is quite obvious when comparing the C8000 with precission dimming vs edge-lit models just how much more beautiful the visuals are on a precission dimming / local dimming television are.

Ultra-thin design for a sleek and styled appearance

The Samsung UNC8000 accomplishes an astounding thinness of less than half an inch. This feat is made possible by adding in the system’s sound buffer and other pieces of technology into the base stand, which can also be converted into a wall-mount depending on user preferences. Amazingly, this new level of ultra-thin does nothing to impede image quality. The Samsung UNC8000 features Edge-lit backlighting, 1080p resolution, a full 240hz refresh rate, and improved black levels over designs from earlier years.

3D capability & Real-time 2D conversion

This years UN C8000 line of 3D TV from Samsung offers a proprietary processor that supports several standards, including half-resolution and Full HD alongside the new Blu-Ray 3D standard. Also featured is the ability to convert 2D images to 3D in real-time, resulting in a vastly improved viewing experience regardless of the source content. This 3D technology and conversion capability is offered in several coming Samsung TVs this year, whether plasma or LCD.

Samsung Apps & Wi-Fi Internet connectivity

In addition to the cache of features offered with the Samsung UNC8000, an online application store accessible via your Wi-Fi connection will allow for greater expansion and customization, with content ranging from free, available to subscribers, or purchasable for a small fee. The improved Internet TV feature includes content and applications from known sources such as: The Associated Press, Blockbuster, Netflix, Pandora, The Travel Channel, Twitter and Facebook, and YouTube among others.

The Samsung UNC8000 and its brethren continue to narrow the divide between television and computer as features and content continue to expand and the boundaries of modern entertainment technology and constantly being pushed to new limits. With its Wi-Fi capability and ready-to-use Ethernet right out of the box, the Samsung UNC8000 is among the most promising systems to emerge in the coming era of 3D TV technology.
