On this review, we’re taking the 60-inch Samsung UN60ES8000 for a field-test to determine how brand new features such as voice control, motion control and face recognition work in the real world.

Certainly, the graphic quality is a critical aspect for any TV purchase. Sadly, I dont have an environment where the lighting is controlled neither the tools to determine color precision (spectroradiometer), but again, most of the people dont adjust their own monitors, have a lab in their living room or make use of 5000k white lighting. Instead, Im going to concentrate on real-world stuff like how the television acts in direct sunlight, and to external light sources etc. This is pretty subjective, but at least you know where I come from.

I found the Samsung ES8000 to make a great picture quality with plenty of brightness (even in direct sunlight) and I found the colours reproduction to be great not over saturated or otherwise. It would be nice to determine this with a real benchmark (gotta like science), yet I have seen numerous TVs and worked for 15 years in computer graphics, so I have some knowledge of what precisely graphic quality means.

One thing that is rarely scientifically measured is the amount of image processing which occur in those tvs. Samsung too does employ numerous filters to the picture coming from video resources (cable TV etc), but I need to state that they dont overdo it. Many TV makers utilize too much Sharpening or colour vividness, however the Samsung ES8000 series looks good out of the box and thats significant simply because most of the people dont want to tweak the settings and have no great calibration to do so. You can consequently tune according to your tastes, should you want to.

Remarkably, I found the 60 UN60ES8000F to look slightly more blurry -in relative terms- than my 55 Samsung UN55D8000YFXZA. This is normal as it shows the same 1080p image on a bigger surface. This shows that large-size TVs would eventually require something much better than 1080p resolution (1920◊1080 pixel). In absolute terms, the majority of people would call the image crisp, and unless youve seen many 4K demonstrations like we did, its difficult to complain about 1080p on a 60. But if you come from a 50?, you may want to know this bit of information.

You prefer viewing television. You only bought a new HDTV, hooked it up, and only want to sink into your couch and luxuriate in that beautiful HD picture. Which is perfectly sensible. You have to be able to just press a few buttons and access hundreds of channels and watch them in high definition with total convenience.

But unless you set things up properly, that may not be easy to attain. An incorrect cables, picture modes, standard-definition channels, and even screen cleaner may adversely affect your high-def gratification. Thankfully, it only takes a few easy steps to get things proper. Here are 6 of the most common HDTV viewing errors, and how one can fix them in a snap.

Not Utilizing HD Connections We have seen this one too many times. Joe drops a grand on a brand new HDTV, takes it home, and sets it up just to find that the picture looks much softer and less detailed than it did in the store. This isn’t mainly because the set is malfunctioning, or Best Buy used black magic to optimize the picture to get him to buy it. Joe connected his set-top box towards the tv with a composite video connection, or he simply screwed the white coaxial cable from his set-top box right into the back of the TV.

Simply because your HIGH DEFINITION TV can display 1080p HD video does not mean it always displays 1080p video. The resolution of the video source is essential, but so is the connection you use. There are lots of different ports in the back of HDTVs, Blu-ray gamers, game systems, as well as cable boxes, and many of those selections will get some type of picture on your screen. It just might not be the best picture.

The simplest way to connect your video source-cable or satellite box, game console, or Blu-ray player, for exampleto your HDTV is HDMI. That is the trapezoid-shaped port-most HDTVs have trapezoid-shaped port-most HDTVs have a minimum of 3 of them.

Up to 1080p video and 7.1-channel audio can be moved through one cable, providing the best picture and sound with the quickest connection. If you run out of ports, or if your video source does not have an HDMI output, you can utilize component video cables, which commonly top out at 1080i and also deliver stereo audio; video will still look good through 5 cables (three for the red, green, and blue color channels, and 2 for the audio channels).
