Features:
Go from brilliant LED images to online content, at the touch of a button, with the UN55B8000. LED technology renders the most advanced HD images on the market, for eye-popping, jaw dropping picture quality on a 55-inch screen. New for 2009, the Medi@2.0™ feature brings online content to your TV, via a host of customizable widgets, video, stocks, photo sharing and more – all at the touch of a remote button. Access the pre-loaded Content Library™ for more digital content, from educational to entertaining. Auto Motion Plus 240Hz™ technology keeps even the fastest onscreen motion smooth and natural. The Touch of Color™ accented bezel and 1.2-inch Ultra Slim Design give you one of the most attractive, thinnest HDTVs available and that’s including the tuner! With the ultra slim wall mount (sold separately), your Samsung LED TV extends only 1.8 inches off of the wall – in virtually any room. And with the same passion we have for delivering groundbreaking HD excitement and style, Samsung is dedicated to preserving the environment with LED TVs, through reduced power consumption (up to 40% savings versus 2008 Samsung conventional LCD TVs) and eco-friendly manufacturing techniques.

• Picture Perfect
• For images that are stunningly true to life you need the 3 Cs: contrast, color and clarity. Ultra brilliant Samsung LED TVs have them all. 5,000,000:1 Mega Contrast provides an incredible range of brightness from pure blacks to pristine whites. Advanced Color Processing enables a wider range of natural colors and provides greater depth for a vibrant, captivating picture even with subtle colors. Plus our Auto Motion Plus 240Hz technology eliminates virtually all motion blur leaving your picture smooth and crisp and your jaw dropped.
• Depth without depth
• The astonishingly slim LED TVs can be hung just like a picture frame less than two inches from the wall. Only this frame is made with a hint of grey. We call it a Touch of Color. One look at it and its soft, square corners is all it takes to see that this isn't just a TV you're hanging. But a work of art.
• The most advanced HDTV technology contained in a razor-thin silhouette. Stunning at only 1.2" deep, Samsung LED TVs are our slimmest HDTVs yet. Supported by a unique stand with an elegant, crystal-clear neck, you'll have no trouble finding a place for one in any room.
• Green works in any room.
• Samsung LED TVs are easy on the planet as well as the eyes. They use 40% less power than conventional LCDs. And they're free of lead, mercury and other VOCs1. So you can put your feet up and relax knowing you're leaving a smaller carbon footprint.
• Auto Motion Plus 240Hz
• There's a big difference between seeing the game and seeing every split second of it. That's where Auto Motion Plus 240Hz technology comes in. All the action in every frame is analyzed and then adjusted so nothing goes by in a blur. From quarterbacks to cyber warriors, the action is always smooth, sharp and fluid.
• Wide Color Enhancer Pro
• The challenge of any TV screen is to recreate reality through color and light. We met this challenge with our Wide Color Enhancer Pro feature. After analyzing each pixel, it stretches them to their 3-dimensional limit. What you get is the fullest, most lifelike colors you've ever seen on a TV that is.
• The world wide web just got wider.
• Can't decide if you'd rather watch TV, see your photos on Flickr or check your stocks on Yahoo? Do it all on Samsung Series 8 LED TVs. An easy to use widget lets you watch, add or delete content. View it all on the roomy sidebar or across the incredibly wide screen. With our Series 8 LED TVs, TV goes way beyond just TV.
• Getting on TV made easy.
• Samsung Series 8 LED TVs take the struggle out of sharing your talent with the world, or at least with your family. Access your videos, music and photos from your PC or from your DLNA mobile device wirelessly and effortlessly and enjoy them on your TV. Our LED TVs can even link to multiple PCs. Who said you need connections to get on TV?
• Your audience awaits.
• There's no excuse anymore for leaving all those great digital pictures and videos in your cameras or storage devices. Thanks to the USB 2.0 Movie: Multi-media Center feature on all Samsung LED TVs you can connect your digital camera, thumb drive even your MP3 player quickly and easily. The smart, user-friendly USB 2.0 interface allows you to access videos, playlists and pictures with your remote. Now anytime can be showtime.
• Library hours extended.
• Suppose you feel like playing a game of chess or cooking instead of watching TV. Samsung Series 8 LED TV's Content Library Flash feature lets you do just that. Enjoy hours of built-in entertainment features, then personalize it by adding content that's available online. And downloading is easy. There's so much you can do with our Series 8 LED TVs.
• Pebble Shaped Remote Control
• Like a precious stone the pebble shaped remote control is an exquisite piece of electronic art with our exclusive Touch of Color style. It's a secondary remote designed to handle the basics and look good doing it.
• 4 HDMI
• If there's an easier way to connect your digital A/V devices to our Samsung LED TVs, we'd like to know. All it takes is one single HDMI cord and high-quality audio/video signals are easily transferred from your blu-ray player, HD cable box, and more all without data loss or headaches.
