CES 2012

Samsung ES8000 LED-LCD TV

Scott Wilkinson  |  Jan 17, 2012

I learned more about the flagship of Samsung's 2012 LED-LCD TV lineup since the press conference last Monday. For example, it will be available in screen sizes of 55, 60, and 75 inches. Like all Samsung LED-LCDs, this one is edgelit along the sides, and a new Micro Dimming Ultimate algorithm provides pseudo local dimming with more zones than previous versions. Also, Smart Evolution lets you upgrade the TV's hardware as well as firmware, making it essentially futureproof.

I await with baited breath for your review of this model Scott in particular if the edgelit really works this time. meaning no flashlight effect with good black levels. love my 46B8500 and would like to move up to a larger set.
