Samsung has recently introduced their highly anticipated line of LED Televisions. Images that are true to life need contrast, color and clarity, and the ultra-brilliant LED TV's has it all. The 7,000,000:1 Mega contrast provides an incredible range of brightness from pure blacks to the whitest whites. Advanced color processing enables a wider range of natural colors and greater depth for a vibrant picture. And with the Auto Motion Plus technology to eliminate motion blur, the result is a jaw-dropping picture never seen before.

The Samsung UN55B8500 is a 55” LED Television and is unbelievably small at a razor thin 1.6” deep. This television is the slimmest yet and can be hung on the wall, making it convenient for tight spaces. The frame is made with red “Touch of Color” for a soft look.

Can't decide if you would rather surf the web or watch TV? Well, you can do it all on the Samsung Series 8 LED TVs. Take the hassle out of sharing your talent with the world by accessing your videos, music and photos from your PC or DLNA Mobile device and enjoy them on your television.
