At the head of its class
Simply put: the D8000 is the ultimate HDTV experience. If you’re looking to be blown away by cutting-edge features, brilliant imagery, and futuristic aesthetics, the D8000 is exactly what you’ve been looking for. Seeing stars? You’re most likely blinded by the D8000’s razor-thin bezel. The bezel is so thin, it looks like it’s floating on thin air. The 1.6� brushed metal bezel boasts a modern metallic finish sure to complement any home décor. To make it even easier on the eyes, the D8000 features an edge-lit LED backlight with innovative Micro Dimming Plus technology. The Micro Dimming Plus technology allows for more precise control of the backlight, making your home entertainment experience even smoother and sharper.
3D and beyond
What makes the Samsung UN65D8000 such a special TV? It could be the 3D capable LED screen, letting you take your movie and television viewing to a whole new level with Samsung's brand-new Bluetooth 3D glasses (included with purchase). Instead of relying on IR, the included Bluetooth 3D glasses promise to improve line-of-sight, range, and interference issues to give you a smooth, in-depth picture. It could also be the incredibly vivid imagery, combining the deep black levels and bright white levels you can get with Micro Dimming Plus technology, the vivid colors that a Wide Color Enhancer Plus brings, and the smooth motion processing from 240Hz Auto Motion Plus for a picture that is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Of course, it could also be the Eco Sensor that makes the UN65 D8000 up to 50% more efficient than ENERGY STAR savings, and matches the light levels of your room for a better defined image. It could be any of those things, but it's not. It's all of those things that you can find in one HDTV, bringing you the best in content, picture, and energy savings in one smooth, slim package.

65 is huge when it comes to TV but you get you to it quite fast and its hard to go back to smaller TV.
Vibrant color.
Crisp and sharp image.
Simply love it.
A good thing that it comes with a QWERTY remote as there are so many things you can do on this Smart TV.
Well packed and very light. I have been able to carry it and install it on my own with a simple cart.

This TV is Awesome for My Home Theater Room. I have it hooked up to Basic Cable until My Theater Room Gets Done and I will have My HD Cable Box Hooked Up to the TV. The Picture is Bright and the Bezel on the TV is sharp looking. The Agent that I worked with at Vanns Harlean was Great to Work with. I was thinking about getting the The VT30 Plasma TV from Panasonic but I decided to get the Samsung TV because it was LED. If, I had the Extra Monies I would have gotten both TV from Vanns, but I could only get one. I, have a Marantz System for My Home Theater Room. I got a New AV Receiver from Vanns as well to update my current Marantz System so I can go from 5.1 to 7.1 and I ordered the Marantz Blu Ray DVD Player as well to get the 1.4 technolgy. Once, I get My TV Mounted on the Wall or on a Salamander Stand. I know it will be a nice setup and I am Very Pleased with the Delivery of My TV from the Vanns Authorized Delivery Agent. The TV Box was in excellent shape and they dropped it off in my home on the First Floor. I would suggest building a relationship with Vanns and they will try to do their best to help you with all items that you are looking for. My Agent is on Speed Dial and I have sent her serveral referral because she was Outstanding to Work With As Well As She Was Very Patient With Me. I, cant say anything Bad About My Experience with Vann or The Samsung TV.

Simply put this TV is amazing!! If you have the space and can afford it, it is a must buy. Ive been in front of it for the last two days. Set-up was a breeze. Actually the hardest part was getting it out of the box until I figured out the plastic clips near the bottom of the box needed to be removed. Special note in my box I acually received 2 3D glasses not the advertised one. Which didnt matter to me because I purchased the new SSG-3700CR 3D glasses.
