The new Samsung ES8000 Smart TV is currently the topic of conversation in the entertainments and electronics world, and for good reason.

This TV is the first television in the world to have a fully updateable software and hardware. It is extremely fast and able to multi task a variety for functions and the screen is a newer and thinner LED that put out some fantastic images not only in HD but also in 3D as well.

It is also the first television in the world to feature voice, gesture and profile recognition and this allows the user to change the channel or adjust the volume all with the flick of a wrist, the wave of a hand or the saying of a few words.

It comes with a whole array of apps like Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, YouTube and Hulu Plus and is great for Skype due to the HD camera at the top of the screen.

The screen comes in a whole range of different sizes from 46 - right through to 75 inch and as this is an LED TV the screen is remarkably thin. The actual thickness of the Samsung ES8000 (without stand) is only 1.2 inches.

The LED screen means that this TV is basically a LCD that has been backlit with light emitting diodes. The image is very good but there is a small amount of light produced in the corners of the screen when credits for movies are rolling. This is barely noticeable though and the advantages of it being a LED highly outweigh this small matter.

As a 3D TV the image quality is very good and this television is easily connected to a blue ray DVD player or alternatively you can use a USB or SD card to store things that you have downloaded on. One of the most interesting features of this television is that fact that you can upgrade not only the software (which is upgraded online regularly) but also every year a new update chip will come out and your Samsung ES8000 hardware and software will be upgraded.

This will start to happen in 2013 and a new chip will be released every year after that. The Samsung ES8000 is one of the first televisions to offer a full yearly upgrade (but we are not sure how much this costs yet) and it looks like this TV will be changing the way we think of television for many years to come.
