1
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:13,320
okay guys so we're here in the new store there's actually construction going on

2
00:00:11,639 --> 00:00:18,039
in the background so I apologize if you can't hear me that well but we've got

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:24,880
another Samsung TV to unbox here this is their Smart TV 8000 Class LED back lit

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:28,359
LCD TV this is a 60in TV this is going

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,199
to be the centerpiece of this new

6
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:34,320
Samsung showcase store so it's actually going to go right there as you walk in

7
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:38,840
the door it'll be the first thing you see and that is for a very good reason

8
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:44,559
it's got all of the most advanced features that Samsung offers including

9
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,600
their 960 clear motion rate which is

10
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:51,320
sort of a combination between the refresh rate of the panel which is still

11
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,160
120 HZ and then the way that they process the image and modulate the

12
00:00:52,879 --> 00:01:02,399
backlight in order to achieve what Samsung is saying is a perceived

13
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:05,799
960 imagees per second motion rate it's

14
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:08,360
a smart TV with full support for

15
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:12,320
3D oops oh this is a much bigger piece of star bone than I thought it was uh

16
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,400
with full support for 3D as well as all of their Smart TV features including

17
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:21,280
AllShare which allows you to easily share content in media from mobile

18
00:01:19,479 --> 00:01:25,479
devices such as your tablet or your smartphone uh as long as they are part

19
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,520
of the Samsung ecosystem here we've got the mount adapter which we're going to

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,640
have a look closer look at in a minute when we actually mount the

21
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:38,560
TV in terms of the other specs it's got an ultra clear panel it's got Mega

22
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,240
contrast ratio micro dimming which actually someone bought one of these TVs

23
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:46,159
in our Vancouver store the other day and it was because he was looking for the

24
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:53,799
micro dimming feature which Samsung says without halo effect allows you to

25
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,799
achieve deeper blacks and brighter

26
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:00,479
whites and see the details without I mean I've

27
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:05,119
seen I've seen TVs with localized dimming in fact my TV has localized

28
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:08,640
dimming but honestly it's not that great because it takes a very substantial

29
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:13,760
chunk of the panel and brightens it or dims it um which because I'm using mine

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,920
as an as an htpc is very disruptive to my entertainment experience because as

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:22,080
soon as I go to my desktop which is black the whole TV goes and then as soon

32
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,480
as I open up content it's like it gets way brighter so it's kind of frustrating

33
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,680
that way but their micro dimming feature says that they can do that in much

34
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:34,200
smaller areas which means it'll be less disruptive here here the base which you

35
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,560
can see is an almost seamless piece of

36
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:41,000
metal so there's a little plastic piece here that forms the bottom and then the

37
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,879
top is one piece on this side which has a little seam here and then one piece on

38
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:49,800
the other side which has a little sort of seam right there so we're going to go

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,480
ahead and put this I don't know which way the TV goes on here but I'm going to

40
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:57,040
assume the rounded part is in the back I'm going to put this down here and then

41
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:01,159
let's see if I can actually even reach the accessories here so in terms of

42
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,799
accessory we've got the documentation which includes all your warranty and all

43
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,680
that info on the one side and then on

44
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:10,959
the okay we're going to have to pull out the TV first to find the accessories so

45
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:16,280
give me a minute here I got to get cameraman to help me with this I don't want to lay the panel down or anything

46
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:20,760
like that so give me a sec okay so we extracted the accessories here guys and

47
00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:25,000
we've got a number of things we've got a power oh wow check that out I don't even

48
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:30,840
see a power brick so that means in this slim design TV they actually integrated

49
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,840
the power uh converter that's

50
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,879
outstanding actually okay we've also got

51
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,760
composite input adapter a component

52
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:43,480
input adapter so if you're using any Legacy devices that uh require an analog

53
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:47,480
signal to go out to your highly Advanced TV then you know you can do that these

54
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:50,319
are for the Vasa Mount to provide a little bit of structural rigidity and

55
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:54,959
then that looks like a cable management thing with some adhesive on the back and

56
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:59,519
here is the far cooler part so we've got the included four AAA batteries that

57
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:07,760
you're going to need for this and this is is Samsung's smart TV compatible full

58
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:11,280
quiry remote control so check this out so the thickness is actually fairly

59
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:14,239
thick okay it's quite substantial but there's a lot of electronics in here so

60
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,840
I can kind of understand that so on this side you see all your standard volume up

61
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:22,840
volume down Smart Hub menu blah blah blah and then the other side oh bam for

62
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:29,240
use pairing with TV is needed okay and then there's instructions for pairing

63
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,240
which a really oh no it's okay it's okay

64
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,880
because there's a plastic there's a plastic piece here that comes off okay

65
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:39,960
so there's a little screen here so you can see what you're typing and then we've got I was really disappointed I

66
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:44,680
was like really how could they have made such a major oversight so here is a full

67
00:04:42,039 --> 00:04:48,320
querty key bad number pad as well as navigation buttons you can change your

68
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:52,360
input so you can actually choose which side of the remote you want to use and

69
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,520
look at that special characters and everything so this is going to be great

70
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:00,800
if you want to browse the web on your TV or uh you know search for YouTube videos

71
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:05,320
or um type anything on your TV it'll be

72
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,919
good to have a keypad pretty self-explanatory I think but it's neat

73
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,919
that they includ it that's not actually the only thing that Samsung includes

74
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,919
with this 8000 series TV you're ruining the unveiling you're looking at it

75
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:25,479
before I can it's okay aha so this is the sort of the

76
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:31,919
pitch for this TV check this out Samsung calls this their onesign bezel I have no

77
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,000
idea what they mean by one um maybe they

78
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:38,800
mean 1 cm that looks like about a centimeter but it's possible that's not

79
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:44,080
what they mean at all um but basically this is ha I'm going to pull out the old

80
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:47,400
iPhone thickness comparison this bezel

81
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,560
is not much thicker than an iPhone it's

82
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,840
not as thick as two iPhones it's so thin

83
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:57,440
that basically when cameraman and I were pulling it out of the box we couldn't

84
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,759
even figure out where to grip the TV because normally I would try to put most

85
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,600
of the pressure on the bezel I couldn't even couldn't even touch it um oh yeah I

86
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,120
wanted to talk about the other thing they include so Samsung includes uh two

87
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,800
pairs of their high-end super lightweight 3D Active 3D shutter glasses

88
00:06:11,599 --> 00:06:20,120
with this TV so let's go ahead and open that up I'll just model this for you

89
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:23,919
guys taped together okay so it'll look kind of something like

90
00:06:21,599 --> 00:06:27,639
this do that not do that not a good look for me whatever we have these on demo in

91
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,080
the new Vancouver store so you can you can check them out if you so desire what

92
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:36,880
the the selling point of these guys is is that they're much lighter weight than

93
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:38,240
existing other uh 3D glasses on the

94
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,199
market they're they're actually really really light and uh there and they don't

95
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,800
look quite as stupid although they you know they don't look great either 3D

96
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,280
glasses that's just what we have to live with so guys give me a sec I'm going to

97
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,199
get this onto the stand so we can see it in all of its glory and

98
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,479
magnificence well there's no doubt it's a thing of beauty I just checked my

99
00:06:54,919 --> 00:07:00,319
notes there's a couple things I did miss so I did miss the wide color enhancer

100
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:06,160
plus feature that is an on this particular TV and then also the hybrid

101
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:10,800
3D engine so this is the processor that's built into this TV that actually

102
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:16,039
allows you to dynamically convert on the- fly any 2D content into

103
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:21,840
stereoscopic 3D which is great because it actually works if you guys checked

104
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:25,840
out my video on Samsung's uh 800 series

105
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:29,080
U monitor for your PC I actually did a

106
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,879
video on my ncic channel where I talked

107
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,560
about that particular technology is actually outstanding so there's no

108
00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:38,160
performance hit to whatever it is that you're feeding the signal into the TV

109
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,759
with so you don't need a more powerful graphics card or anything like that to

110
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:47,199
play 3D games on this particular TV because all of the processing is done on

111
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:51,680
the Fly by your TV so I think that's pretty much it in terms of General

112
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:53,479
features but yeah it's pretty nice

113
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,440
looking don't forget guys if you do want to check it out in person you can see

114
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,400
this TV at our Vancouver store on Broadway our new Vancouver store on

115
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Broadway and then you can also check it out in the new abine store that's going

116
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,159
to be right next to the old abine store that will still be there uh let's check

117
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:12,080
out what it's got in terms of inputs and outputs and we're on totally the wrong side of the TV for that look at this

118
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,360
from the back it's like a reasonably nice finish you know no plastic or

119
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:19,159
anything like that looks good okay let's go over into the other side so we can

120
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:24,280
see what we got in terms of inputs and outputs and here you take that angle and

121
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,560
I'll stand up here so we've got one two

122
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:31,800
three USB ports with this one optimized for hard drive uh because remember this

123
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,320
is a smart TV digital audio out optical

124
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,159
we've got four hdmis with one for DVI

125
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:43,680
and this one's for Arc okay AVN it's right here so that's

126
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:46,279
your component uh and then PC so that's

127
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:51,360
your VGA down there antenna in there's your composite input with audio out

128
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,920
xlink and land so smart TVs they do want

129
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,800
land so you're going to want like a power line adapter or a wireless bridge

130
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,279
of some sort in order to get a network connection to this TV so you can take

131
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:06,480
advant advantage of all those features you know your Skype your Twitter your

132
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:09,120
Facebook etc etc and your full

133
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:12,800
querty remote control and I think that pretty much

134
00:09:11,079 --> 00:09:18,839
covers it so thank you for checking out uh this little Showcase of Samsung's

135
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:20,279
