The jury is still out on whether plasma TVs are better than their LCD counterparts, and may remain out for some time. Both have their advantages, and disadvantages as well, and your choice may have to depend on your own watching habits and the kind of shows you like to watch. If you decide to go for plasma, the Samsung PN64D8000 3D Plasma Smart TV can be a fine choice.
The TV delivers fully immersive images that leap out of your screen when combined with active shutter 3D glasses and content either from a Blu-ray disc player, game console, or TV broadcast. Such content do not even have to be 3D as the TV can upconvert 2D into 3D in real time.
The images are in full HD 1080p resolution, assuring you of clear and detailed pictures without rugged and blurred borders. And to eliminate the need to unplug and plug cables every time you change content sources, the TV has four HDMI ports. This also does away with the need for separate audio and video cables.
One of the plasma advantages over LCDs commonly mentioned is the former's better contrast ratios, and this is certainly true with the PN64D8000. Its high contrast ratio provides deep blacks and bright whites as well as vibrant and saturated colors. It also allows wide viewing angles.
Equipped with 600Hz subfield motion technology, the TV guarantees clear images not only when they are standing still or moving slowly, but even when they are flying across the screen. Its fast response time of 0.001ms further assures this, thus making the TV ideal for watching sports shows and superhero movies. With its Real Black Filter, color contrast is maintained even in the presence of light reflecting on the screen.
Home entertainment with the Samsung PN64D8000 3D Plasma Smart TV goes beyond watching TV shows and movies or playing interactive games. It comes with a QWERTY remote that you can use to control its dedicated Web browser to surf the Net. You can shop, search, connect with your friends, download, or anything you would normally do with your laptop or PC. You can even make free Skype-to-Skype video calls and watch your friends on the 64-inch screen while you exchange the latest news about yourselves.
