The Samsung 8000 series is mainly focused around a TV known as the ES8000. This new television is the first TV in the world that has complete voice, gesture and profile recognition. The Samsung ES8000 is also the only television that is able to be fully upgraded each year by the inserting a small chip into the back of the television. This small chip will be released every year starting in 2013.

Dual core Processor = Multi Tasking

The Samsung 8000 series is also one of the first groups of televisions to include a dual core processor which allows the user to multi task, So for example you can search the internet or use a facebook application whilst also watching your favorite Tv show or movie.

LED =Light Emitting Diode

All of the TVs in the Samsung ES8000 series are LED televisions. LED stands for light emitting diode and is basically the same as an LCD screen but instead of having cold cathode flurescent lights as the source of light , new light emmitting diodes are used. This means that the images that are light onto the screen are brighter and have a higher contrast level than other TVs. LED TVs are the same as LCD as they are back lit so the actual images are not produced on the screen itself. This means that an LED TV is not affected by glare like a Plasma can be. Also LEDs are a lot thinner that any other television as the actual size of the Light emitting diodes themselves are tiny.

APPS - What Applications?

There are a variety of applications available for these televisions. You can get all the normal apps like facebook, YouTube, Skype etc but there are also a whole bunch of speciality apps that are avialble as well. Applications like Angry birds have been especially adapted so that you can use the gesture controls to play the game.

SKYPE

The ES8000 series is a great platform for using Skype to talk to your family and friends. The television itself has a small HD camera built in the top of the set and it is this camera that is used to pick up gestures and also your profile. Skyping your famiy or friends on your television from the relaxation of your own sofa and couch at home is now a reality.
