Irresistible design, Outstanding 2D, Very good 3D, Leading online system
Poor picture presets, Gesture control can frustrate, Backlight bleed with 3D, Average audio
Samsung is on typically aggressive form with the Samsung UE46ES8000, combining cutting-edge features with a gorgeous space-saving design and some of the best picture quality the LCD TV world has to offer. Particularly impressive are the set's attempts at ...
slimline HD TV with excellent picture quality and ‘Smart’ Internet connectivity and apps
expensive, face-recognition and hand gestures are gimmicky
You don't have to spend a couple of grand to get all these features either, as Samsung makes a number of ‘Smart PVR' boxes that will work with your existing TV for about £200-£250
Abstract: The UE48ES8000 is Samsung's 46in monster of a flagship TV. It doesn't seem quite as big as that number suggests thanks to a remarkably slim bezel, but it will still dominate most living rooms.The picture quality was strikingly good, especially on HD ch...
Abstract: Say hello to Samsung’s bad boy smart TV. This epic 55-incher has all the works, of course: 3D support, LED backlighting for stunning contrast, a super slim silver frame you’ll barely be able to make out from your perch on the sofa. But it’s also one br...
Sleek design with thin bezel, good smart interface, light-up controller, generally good picture quality in both 2D and 3D forms, great Smart Hub interface, well-rounded sound
Picture lacks uniformity, flimsy 3D glasses, picture presets are too harsh, does a TV really need gesture control? no SD card slot, no custom EQ settings

Features and innovative control systems, Superlative pictures, Stunning design
Expensive, Inaccurate gesture control, Noisy DVD playback
Make no bones about it – the UE55ES8000 is a magnificent TV. There aren't many sets that can match its incredible feature list and level of innovation. Voice and gesture control, touch-pad remote and face recognition make it feel like a TV from the futur...
Presumably in an effort to make daytime showroom pictures appear bright and vibrant, contrast and backlight presets are too high. With minor adjustments, you can enjoy the UE46ES8000 as it was meant to be - a trully great TV; with the added benefit of ...

Excellent colour gamut out-of-the-box, Reference colour gamut after calibration, Reference greyscale after calibration, Excellent video processing, Impressive array of calibration controls, Well designed and responsive menu system, Well implemented Smart
Some clouding on the backlight, Some minor undefeatable noise reduction, Very occasional stutter in image processing, Poor performance with off-axis viewing, HDMI inputs too near the edge of the screen, Only 3 HDMI inputs, Voice and motion controls are a
It's no surprise that the 55ES8000 works extremely well as media player and we had no problems with anything we threw at it using a variety of media servers including Samsung's own Smartshare software. Owners of mobile devices – either iOS or Android - ca...
