Samsung PS64E8000

It's big, it's bold, and it's also rather good.

Excellent 2D and 3D pictures ; Lots of online video services ; Good value

Tricky gesture and voice control options ; Pictures not as bright as LCD ones ; Minor skin tone flaws

Despite all the niggles, though, Samsung’s Smart TV platform still impresses overall thanks to the impressive amount of video streaming services it carries - these being by far the most useful things on any Smart TV platform.

Samsung PS64E8000 review

As smart as smart TV gets; delivers clean, sharp pictures but sound is average

Super-smart, futuristic TV ; clean and sharp pictures ; punchy colour balance

Average sound ; black levels could be better

A future TV that’s ready now, this is as smart as smart TV gets

Samsung PS51E8000

Specification, cutting-edge interface, composed, believable pictures from all sources

Struggles a little with standard-def, sounds poor even by flatscreen standards, gesture control more trouble than it’s worth

Your shortlist of worthwhile plasma TVs just increased by one – try it

Samsung Series 8 PS51E8000 51-inch 3D Plasma TV - Big on Smarts and Visuals

Sporting the Quad-Stand pedestal instead of the more recent Arc-Flow stand flaunted by its ES8000 LED sibling, the E8000 plasma TV sports many of Samsung's Smart Interaction privileges, which include voice activation, motion controls, and facial recogn...

Samsung PN64E8000 3D Plasma TV

There's always a learning curve in life. From the first time I put my feet on the pedals of a bicycle to the first time I asked a girl on a date, I learned how to make the best of these experiences despite how complicated or awkward they seemed at the...

Samsung PS51E8000 Plasma 3D TV Review

The 51-inch model from Samsung's top-end E8000 Plasma TV series has been here with us for a while, going through our usual in-depth testing. We recently reviewed the 60″ version from the step-down E6500 series, and found it to be one of the best HDTVs...

The Samsung PS51E8000 is a great Plasma TV. It features good black levels, and since it’s a PDP, those blacks are consistently dark across the entire screen surface and viewing area – even although they’re not the absolute darkest out there. After only...

Amazingly accurate colours ; Superior video processing ; Engaging dynamic range ; Solid blacks with excellent shadow detail ; Stupendous feature-set ; Fantastic calibration controls ; Sublimely fluid motion handling

Brightness pops ; Floating blacks ; Silly 3D Glasses ; Only 3 HDMI Ports ; Quad stand cheapens the looks ; Voice and Motion control feels gimmicky
