Samsung UE / UN C8000 Series LED TV (32", 40", 46", 55", 60", 65")

The Samsung ES8000 Series is very attractive because of its striking design and large set of seemingly very advanced features, but after using it for a couple of weeks, I fell back to the basics and I liked the TV because the image quality was very...

Smart Hub, 3D, Explore 3D app, Freeview HD, Freesat HD, record-to-USB

Smart Hub can be slow, panel lacks contrast, 3D glasses not included

It's a shame 3D is an optional extra here, but we love the picture quality and this is a solid performer when it comes to apps and the little extras.

Excellent picture quality ; Great design ; Impressive sound quality from a thin TV

The Series 6 might be slightly better value ; EPG is slow to load and navigate

The 2011 edition of Samsung's Series 8 plasma is, as we'd expected, an impressive piece of technology. Its sound and visuals are great, and the inclusion of various 'Smart TV' features makes the Series 8 a useful multimedia device as well as a...

Mind-boggling range of features, stunning design, picture quality

Although it’s expensive and 3D has a few teething troubles, the UE46C8000 is something special. 3D is just one of many reasons to recommend it - the amount of other features is staggering and if you can find a better looking TV we'll eat our 3D glasses.

Crisp, dynamic Full HD images; vibrant 3D; expansive Smart Hub proposition; beautiful to look at; good screen burn provision

Horizontal and vertical image judder; Social Media apps require separate Samsung account

Sharp HD pictures ; Impressive 3D performance ; Warm and natural colour tones ; Good sound quality ; Great Internet features

Black levels could be a tad deeper ; 3D performance isn't as good as Panasonic's plasma models

The PS51D8000 is a hugely impressive set and runs Panasonic's highly-rated GT30 close. In fact, there's very little to separate the two.

Bright, vibrant images ; Good sound quality ; Gorgeous design ; Great Internet features

Crosstalk in 3D images ; Inconsistent backlight

Samsung really has done a great job of making the UE60D8000 look supremely stylish, to appeal to the premium buyer. It boasts excellent Internet features and media streaming capabilities. For the most part, its pictures are top notch too....

Stunning design ; Exceptional brightness and colour ; Extensive multimedia features

Needs care with set up ; crosstalk with 3D ; Minor backlight bleed even after calibration

While the UE46D8000 isn?t without its problems ? its 3D crosstalk, its average sonics, its minor backlight inconsistencies, its over-aggressive presets and the fact that it costs ?100 than the identically specified but slightly less glamorous looking...
