Samsung UN46F8000 LED HDTV

With a new slimmer design and full 1080p resolution, the new Samsung UN46F8000, along with the entire product line of the new F8000 series is set to take the HDTV market by storm. This new model features a 240hz refresh rate and 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as built-in Wi-Fi, making the unit fully internet-ready. This will allow users to take advantage of multimedia websites with streaming videos and movies such as Hulu, YouTube and Netflix, to name a few.

The UN46F8000 features some new and exciting features that Samsung will be rolling out with the new series, including the latest version of its Smart Interaction technology, which includes voice interactivity and an exciting gesture control feature. Both of these features work together seamlessly to make the user experience far more engaging than with previous Samsung models.

Another extremely impressive feature is the inclusion of facial recognition technology, made possible by the built-in camera at the top of the TV frame. Users can simply log into their accounts and access apps and programs without having to enter any login details, as the camera recognizes unique facial features and is integrated with password security software for the unit.

This model will also feature access to Samsung's app store, which is the first app store for televisions in the entire world. The store already has thousands of apps available and will likely be growing in size exponentially in the coming years.

The average price for the Samsung UN46F8000 is approximately $2,000 to $2,500 dollars.

Things we like about the Samsung UN46F8000 LED HDTV

Without a doubt, one of the most appealing aspects of this model is the fluid access to Samsung's TV App Store. Samsung has partnered with Electronic Arts to help take its App Store to a whole new level, and this leaves the potential for new and exciting applications and games virtually uncapped. This feature alone will help position the UN46F8000 and larger versions of the same series to be on the leading edge of Smart TV technology and user experience.

Another thing that we liked about the UN46F8000 was the ease of use of the voice navigation controls. We could literally state the name of the TV show or actor's name and content matching the query would show up on the screen. Samsung has obviously invested in research to make this technology work without the usual hiccups that accompany voice recognition technology.
