WEBVTT

00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:13.320
okay guys so we're here in the new store there's actually construction going on

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

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:24.880
another Samsung TV to unbox here this is their Smart TV 8000 Class LED back lit

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:28.359
LCD TV this is a 60in TV this is going

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:30.199
to be the centerpiece of this new

00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:34.320
Samsung showcase store so it's actually going to go right there as you walk in

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

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:44.559
it's got all of the most advanced features that Samsung offers including

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:46.600
their 960 clear motion rate which is

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:51.320
sort of a combination between the refresh rate of the panel which is still

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:55.160
120 HZ and then the way that they process the image and modulate the

00:00:52.879 --> 00:01:02.399
backlight in order to achieve what Samsung is saying is a perceived

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:05.799
960 imagees per second motion rate it's

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:08.360
a smart TV with full support for

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

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.400
with full support for 3D as well as all of their Smart TV features including

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:21.280
AllShare which allows you to easily share content in media from mobile

00:01:19.479 --> 00:01:25.479
devices such as your tablet or your smartphone uh as long as they are part

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.520
of the Samsung ecosystem here we've got the mount adapter which we're going to

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.640
have a look closer look at in a minute when we actually mount the

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

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:42.240
contrast ratio micro dimming which actually someone bought one of these TVs

00:01:40.119 --> 00:01:46.159
in our Vancouver store the other day and it was because he was looking for the

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:53.799
micro dimming feature which Samsung says without halo effect allows you to

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.799
achieve deeper blacks and brighter

00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.479
whites and see the details without I mean I've

00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:05.119
seen I've seen TVs with localized dimming in fact my TV has localized

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:08.640
dimming but honestly it's not that great because it takes a very substantial

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

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.920
as an as an htpc is very disruptive to my entertainment experience because as

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

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

00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.680
that way but their micro dimming feature says that they can do that in much

00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:34.200
smaller areas which means it'll be less disruptive here here the base which you

00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:36.560
can see is an almost seamless piece of

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:41.000
metal so there's a little plastic piece here that forms the bottom and then the

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

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

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

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

00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:01.159
let's see if I can actually even reach the accessories here so in terms of

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:05.799
accessory we've got the documentation which includes all your warranty and all

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:07.680
that info on the one side and then on

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

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

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:20.760
like that so give me a sec okay so we extracted the accessories here guys and

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

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:30.840
see a power brick so that means in this slim design TV they actually integrated

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:33.840
the power uh converter that's

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.879
outstanding actually okay we've also got

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.760
composite input adapter a component

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:43.480
input adapter so if you're using any Legacy devices that uh require an analog

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

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.319
are for the Vasa Mount to provide a little bit of structural rigidity and

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.959
then that looks like a cable management thing with some adhesive on the back and

00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:59.519
here is the far cooler part so we've got the included four AAA batteries that

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

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:11.280
quiry remote control so check this out so the thickness is actually fairly

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:14.239
thick okay it's quite substantial but there's a lot of electronics in here so

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

00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:22.840
volume down Smart Hub menu blah blah blah and then the other side oh bam for

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:29.240
use pairing with TV is needed okay and then there's instructions for pairing

00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:31.240
which a really oh no it's okay it's okay

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:34.880
because there's a plastic there's a plastic piece here that comes off okay

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

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

00:04:42.039 --> 00:04:48.320
querty key bad number pad as well as navigation buttons you can change your

00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:52.360
input so you can actually choose which side of the remote you want to use and

00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.520
look at that special characters and everything so this is going to be great

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

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:05.320
or um type anything on your TV it'll be

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.919
good to have a keypad pretty self-explanatory I think but it's neat

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:12.919
that they includ it that's not actually the only thing that Samsung includes

00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:16.919
with this 8000 series TV you're ruining the unveiling you're looking at it

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:25.479
before I can it's okay aha so this is the sort of the

00:05:22.919 --> 00:05:31.919
pitch for this TV check this out Samsung calls this their onesign bezel I have no

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:34.000
idea what they mean by one um maybe they

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:38.800
mean 1 cm that looks like about a centimeter but it's possible that's not

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

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:47.400
iPhone thickness comparison this bezel

00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:50.560
is not much thicker than an iPhone it's

00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:52.840
not as thick as two iPhones it's so thin

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:57.440
that basically when cameraman and I were pulling it out of the box we couldn't

00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:00.759
even figure out where to grip the TV because normally I would try to put most

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

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.120
wanted to talk about the other thing they include so Samsung includes uh two

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:13.800
pairs of their high-end super lightweight 3D Active 3D shutter glasses

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

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:23.919
guys taped together okay so it'll look kind of something like

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

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

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:36.880
the the selling point of these guys is is that they're much lighter weight than

00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.240
existing other uh 3D glasses on the

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:42.199
market they're they're actually really really light and uh there and they don't

00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:45.800
look quite as stupid although they you know they don't look great either 3D

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

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:53.199
get this onto the stand so we can see it in all of its glory and

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.479
magnificence well there's no doubt it's a thing of beauty I just checked my

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

00:06:58.440 --> 00:07:06.160
plus feature that is an on this particular TV and then also the hybrid

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:10.800
3D engine so this is the processor that's built into this TV that actually

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:16.039
allows you to dynamically convert on the- fly any 2D content into

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:21.840
stereoscopic 3D which is great because it actually works if you guys checked

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:25.840
out my video on Samsung's uh 800 series

00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:29.080
U monitor for your PC I actually did a

00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:30.879
video on my ncic channel where I talked

00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:34.560
about that particular technology is actually outstanding so there's no

00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:38.160
performance hit to whatever it is that you're feeding the signal into the TV

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.759
with so you don't need a more powerful graphics card or anything like that to

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:47.199
play 3D games on this particular TV because all of the processing is done on

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

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.479
features but yeah it's pretty nice

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

00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:00.400
this TV at our Vancouver store on Broadway our new Vancouver store on

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

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

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

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:16.360
from the back it's like a reasonably nice finish you know no plastic or

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

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

00:08:21.080 --> 00:08:26.560
I'll stand up here so we've got one two

00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:31.800
three USB ports with this one optimized for hard drive uh because remember this

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:35.320
is a smart TV digital audio out optical

00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:37.159
we've got four hdmis with one for DVI

00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:43.680
and this one's for Arc okay AVN it's right here so that's

00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:46.279
your component uh and then PC so that's

00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:51.360
your VGA down there antenna in there's your composite input with audio out

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.920
xlink and land so smart TVs they do want

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.800
land so you're going to want like a power line adapter or a wireless bridge

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

00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:06.480
advant advantage of all those features you know your Skype your Twitter your

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:09.120
Facebook etc etc and your full

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:12.800
querty remote control and I think that pretty much

00:09:11.079 --> 00:09:18.839
covers it so thank you for checking out uh this little Showcase of Samsung's

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:20.279
8000 series 60-in LED backlit LCD TV
