okay guys so we're here in the nude store there's actually construction going on in the background so I apologize if you can't hear me that well but we've got another Samsung TV to unbox here this is their Smart TV 8000 class LED backlit LCD TV this is a 60-inch TV this is going to be the centerpiece of this new Samsung showcase store so it's actually going to go right there as you walk in the door it'll be the first thing you see and that is for a very good reason it's not all of the most advanced features the Samsung offers including their 960 clear motion rate which is sort of a combination between the refresh rate of the panel which is still 120 Hertz and then the way that they process the image and modulate the backlight in order to achieve Samsung is taking as a perceived 960 images per second motions great it's a smart TV with full support for 3d does a much bigger piece of styrofoam than I thought it was with full support for 3d as well as all of their Smart TV features including all share which allows you to easily share content and media from mobile devices such as your tablet or your smart phone as long as they are part of the Samsung ecosystem here we've got the mount adapter which we're gonna have a look closer look at in a minute when we actually mount the TV but in terms of the other specs it's not an ultra clear panel spot mega contrast ratio micro dimming which actually someone bought one of these TVs in our Vancouver store the other day and it was because he was looking for the micro dimming feature which Samsung says without halo effect allows you to achieve deeper blacks and brighter whites and the details without I mean I've seen yeah I've seen TVs with localized dimming in fact my TV has localized dimming but honestly it's not that great because it takes a very substantial chunk of the panel and brightens it or dims it which because I'm using mine as an HTP see is very disruptive to my entertainment experience because as soon as I go to my desktop which is black the whole TV goes and then as soon as I open up content it's like ooh oh I guess we brighter so it's kind of frustrating that way but they're micro dimming feature says that they can do that in much smaller areas which means it'll be less disruptive here's the base which you can see is an almost seamless piece of metal so there's a little plastic piece here that forms the bottom and then the top is one piece on this side which has a little theme here and then one piece on the other side which has a little sort of theme right there so we're gonna go ahead and put this I don't know which way the TV goes on here but I'm gonna assume the rounded part is in the back I'm gonna put this down here and then let's see if I can actually even reach the accessories here so in terms of accessories we've got the documentation which includes all your warranty and all that info on the one side all right we're gonna have to pull out the TV first to find the accessories so give me a minute here I gotta get a cameraman to help me with this I don't want to lay the panel down or anything like that so give me a second okay so the abstract of the accessories here guys and we've got a number of things we've got a power kit oh wow check that out I don't even see a power brick so that means in this slim design TV they actually integrated the powder hot converter that's outstanding actually okay we've also got composite input adapter a component input adapter so if you're using any legacy devices that require an analog signal to go up to your highly advanced TV then you know you can do that these are for the base amount to provide a little bit of structural rigidity and then that looks like a cable management thing with some adhesive on the back and here is the far cooler part so we've got the included four triple-a batteries that you're going to need for this and this is samsung's Smart TV compatible full quirky remote control so check this out so the thickness is actually fairly thick okay it's quite substantial but there's a lot of electronics in here so I kind of understand that so on this side you see all your standard volume up volume down Smart Hub menu blah blah blah and then the other side Oh BAM for use pairing with TVs needed love okay and then there's instructions for pairing which oh really oh no it's okay it's okay because there's a plastic there's a plastic piece here that comes off okay so there's a little screen here so you can see what you're typing and then we've really disappointed I was like really how come they made such a major oversight so here is a full QWERTY keypad number pad as well as navigation buttons you can change your input so you can actually choose which side of the remote you want to use and look at that special characters and everything so this is going to be great if you want to browse the web on your TV or you know search for YouTube videos or type anything on your TV it'll be good to have a keypad pretty self-explanatory I think but it's neat that they included that's not actually the only thing that Samsung includes with this 8000 series TV you're really unveiling okay so this is the sort of the pitch for this TV check this up Samsung calls this their a one design bezel I had no idea what they mean by one maybe they mean one centimeter that looks like about a centimeter but it's possible that's not what they mean at all but basically this is how you're gonna pull out the old iPhone thickness comparison this bezel is not much thicker than an iPhone it's not as thick as two iPhones it's so thin that basically when cameraman and I were pulling it out of the box we couldn't even figure out where to grip the TV because normally I would try to put most of pressure off of the bezel I even couldn't even touch it oh yeah I wanted to talk about the other thing that's a samsung includes two pairs of their high-end super lightweight 3d active 3d shatter glasses with this TV so let's go ahead and open that up I'll just model this for you guys okay so it'll look kind of something like this so I'm not a good look for me whatever we have these on demo in the new Vancouver store so you can you can check them out if you so desire what's the the selling point of these guys is is that they're much lighter weight than existing other 3d glasses on the market they're they're actually really really light and they're and they don't look quite as stupid on the label they don't look free either 3d glasses that's just what we have to live with so guys give me a sec I'm gonna get this onto the stand so we can see it in all of its glory and magnificence well there's no doubt it's a thing of beauty I just checked my notes there's a couple things I did miss so I did miss the white color enhancer plus feature that is enabled on this particular TV and then also the hybrid 3d engine so this is the processor that's built into this TV that actually allows you to dynamically convert on-the-fly any 2d content into stereoscopic 3d which is great because it actually works if you guys checked out my video on Samsung's by 800 series monitor for your PC I actually did a video on my NCIX plumb channel where I talked about that particular technology is outstanding so there's no performance hit to whatever it is that you're feeding the signal into the TV with so you don't even more powerful back that's part or anything like that to play 3d games others particularly TV because all of the processing is done on the fly by your TV so I think that's pretty much it in terms of general features but yeah it's pretty nice-looking don't forget guys if you do want to check another person you can see this TV at our Vancouver store on Broadway our new Vancouver store on Broadway and then you can also check it out in the new Aberdeen store that's gonna be right next to the old Aberdeen store that will still be there let's check out what it's got in terms of inputs and outputs and we're on totally the wrong side of the TV for that look at this from the back that's like a reasonably nice finish you know no plastic or anything like that that's good okay let's go over into the other side so we can see what we got in terms of input its know put some here you take that angle and I'll stand up here so we've got one two three USB ports with this one optimized for hard drive because remember this is a smart TV digital audio out optical we've got 4 HDMIs with 1/4 DVI and this one's for arc okay AV in its right here so that's your component and then PC so that's your VGA down there antenna in there's your composite input with audio out X link and land so smart TVs they do want lands so you're gonna want like a powerline adapter or a wireless bridge of some sort in order to get a network connection to this TV so you can take advantage of all those features you know your Skype your Twitter your Facebook etc etc and your full QWERTY remote control get that into that and I think that pretty much covers it so thank you for checking out this little showcase of Samsung's 8000 series 60-inch LED backlit LCD TV don't forget to subscribe -
