General Overview:

The Samsung UE40C8000 is a 40 inch Full HD TV, and as such, supports the 1920 x 1080 resolution. It uses a 200 Hz Motion Plus technology which ensures that even the fastest action scenes are displayed in full detail, and no frames are lost. The nice chrome stand, combined with the classy look of the TV, make it suitable for even the most elegant of living rooms.

You can even connect your TV to the Internet, using cable or Samsung’s Wi-Fi dongle, and you’ll get access to great services such as BBC iPlayer, LoveFilm, or SkypeHD. You’ll get to experience interactive games, connect to social networks, and much more! If that’s not enough, know that you can also connect to your PC or mobile phone, using Samsung’s AllShare function.

Are you lacking a satellite receiver but you still want to watch some HD channels? This is now possible, as the TV features support for Freeview HD, allowing you to watch several HD channels without you having to add anything else. If those channels aren’t enough, you’ll be glad to know that more will be added!

The Samsung AllShare function mentioned above allows you to transfer any content you wish, directly from your phone or PC, via wireless. It doesn’t get much easier than this, and if you have more than one PC, you can connect all of them at the same time!

Complete connectivity options are provided, including 4 HDMI 1.4 inputs and 2 USB 2.0 ports, for connecting an USB stick or an external HDD. Using PVR, you can also record your favorite shows directly on the external HDD, so you’ll never miss a show again!

To watch movies in 3D you will need a pair of Samsung active LCD shutter 3D glasses. These glasses are usually quite expensive, but certain stores offer them as a bonus when you purchase your TV!

3D works  by splitting the image in two different parts, each part shot from a different angle. The glasses just separate these 2 parts, for the left and right eye, and the brain combines them and gives you the illusion of depth.

The glasses are wireless and use infrared signal to synchronize themselves to the material running on the TV.

This TV uses a premium Luxia Panel which offers unrivaled contrast rates and, unlike previous panels, reduces reflections to a minimum.

Ratings:

SAMSUNG UE46C8000 40 INCH 3D FREEVIEW HD LED TV
Image Quality
Amazing image quality, both in 3D and 2D, thanks to the premium Luxia Panel
Audio Quality
The SRS TheaterSound audio system offers excellent sound quality, but we recommend you connect an external speaker system to the UE40C8000, for the best sound quality
Reliability
Samsung TVs are of very high quality, and reliability is not an issue, however it is recommended that you test out the 3D mode prior to purchasing. Some people experience head aches and other problems when watching in 3D, so make sure you have no issues with this.
Useability
Everything is very simple to use and not even a child will have problems with it. The PVR function allows you to program your TV to record your shows, but even this function is extremely easy to use.
Value for Money
The price of the TV is unbeatable, especially if you get it with 3D glasses included, or with an extended warranty period.

Overall
The Samsung UE40C8000 is an excellent TV for any home, due to its large number of functions, high quality panel, and good looks. The 40 inch screen is perfect for most living rooms, but if you have a larger living room, then a larger TV is recommended.
