A paradox all wrapped up in one gorgeous package--that's the best way to describe Samsung's newest, bestest C8000 series plasma HDTV. It packs a punch with real theater features such as 3D, Cinema Smooth 24p processing, Motion Judder Canceller, Real Black Filter, and SRS TruSurround HD. And it isn't afraid to knock you out with DLNA home networking capabilities and Media@2.0 accessibility. Yet all this is from a strawweight that weighs in at a paltry 88 pounds with a depth of only 1.5 inches.

Plasma: not your ordinary matter
In 1879, Sir William Crookes, an English physicist, identified a fourth state of matter: plasma. In 1964, Dr.s Donald Bitzer and Gene Slottow and doctoral candidate Robert Willson developed the first plasma video display. Unfortunately, producing a monochromatic orange glow, the display wouldn't contribute much to a theater-like experience—unless, of course, we all had monochromatic vision. Fortunately, science (and nature) didn't rest on its monochromatic laurels, and today lowly commoners like ourselves have access to the superior brightness, faster response time, increased color spectrum, and wider viewing angle of advanced plasma technology. What it really boils down to is unsurpassed viewing pleasure, and isn't that what a home theater experience is all about? Samsung PN58C8000
Will the real technology please stand up?
We've been inundated with techno speak for a good long while now, probably to the point that most of us don't even listen any more. If someone tells us it's the best yet, we tend to just nod our heads. So what actually sells us on technology? The subjective experience. And it's pretty hard to sit down in front of Samsung's 58" PN58C8000 3D-ready, network-ready, 1920 x 1080p, high definition plasma television without having a drop of drool slip down your chin. Big may impress on its own, but with Samsung, it's in the details: the new E³-Panel technology delivers improved color saturation, contrast, and energy efficiency. On top of this (and behind it) is the Clear Image Panel that eliminates distortion and the FilterBright Antiglare and Real Black Filter that reduce reflections and glare from ambient light sources and ensure every dark detail is crisp and clear. Running the show is the Crystal Full HD engine, which unifies all of the PN58C8000's advanced imaging technologies. This means the Cinema Smooth, Mega Dynamic Contrast ratio, .001ms response time, and Motion Judder Canceller all work seamlessly to provide true 24p reproduction with out blur or jitters.

The mind is the knot which joins consciousness and matter
Advaita Vedanta philosophers believe illusion is something which is not true and not false. Accordingly, illusion is not the opposite of truth or reality. Hollywood screenwriters get this. In their philosophy, it's called suspended disbelief. Samsung developers get this. In their philosophy, it's called 600Hz Subfield Motion, and here's how it works: because the illusion of motion used in movie and television programming is achieved by flashing a series of still images, or frames, on the screen in fast succession, the smoothness and naturalness of depicted motion depends on how many frames are shown and how fast they appear. Since frame rates for film and television content range from 24 to 60 frames-per-second (fps), the PN58C8000's 600Hz Subfield Motion technology keeps up by flashing each frame ten times, meaning that up to 600 frames are shown every second (when viewing 60Hz content). The result is nothing less than dramatically improved continuity between frames which translates into flawless, lifelike motion—because seeing is believing.
You are now entering the Third Dimension
Fasten your safety belts folks, Samsung is about to launch you into a whole new home theater experience. Fully equipped with HD 3D-ready technology, all you need to do is hook up a 3D compatible component (sold separately, in case you thought otherwise), put on your 3D glasses (also sold separately), and purchase a commercial popcorn machine, and you'll never have to succumb to public theater experience again.

Networking with your networking
Remember, networking is about being genuine and authentic, building trust, and seeing how you can help others. Unless you're talking about your home computer networking, then it's all about you because computers are inanimate objects and are incapable of human emotion, so you don't have to do anything but set them up and take advantage of their technology. Take for instance the networking capabilities of the PN58C8000. It's Medi@2.0 enabled (i.e. you can access a myriad of Internet sites like BLOCKBUSTER, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr), comes with a flash memory Content Library, and a ConnectShare Movie USB interface that allows access to videos, playlists, and pictures via the remote. Eventually, you'll never have to leave your couch. But you should. You should go out and look the trees. They're a lovely shade of green, and they convert nasty carbon dioxide into oxygen you can breathe, so you kind of owe it to them to appreciate them once in a while. Samsung PN58C8000
Add a little "depth" — 2D to 3D conversion
When it comes to home theater entertainment, 3D video is right on par with high-definition Blu-ray video with regards to revolutionizing your viewing experience. And just as the transition from standard definition to HD has been facilitated by DVD video upscaling technology, Samsung is easing your home theater's transition to 3D by equipping its 3D-capable panels with 2D-to-3D conversion technology. Built-in processing circuitry found on C8000 series panels adds virtual depth to standard 2D video, so that when viewed with your Samsung 3D active shutter glasses, 2D content appears with genuine, simulated 3D spatiality. While native 3D content always delivers a more immersive three-dimensional viewing experience, simulated 3D content is a great way to begin enjoying your new 3D Samsung HDTV's potential while new 3D movies are being released.

But-I-just-spent-all-my-money-on-a-58-inch-plasma-t.v. syndrome
So you've laid down your hard-earned money for a killer plasma t.v., but now you have to wait five paychecks before you can afford the surround sound. Fear not. The PN58C8000 provides a surprisingly full audio experience with two 15W speakers enhanced by SRS TruSurround HD technology, creating an immersive, feature-rich surround sound effect from just two speakers. Experience rich bass, detailed high-frequency audio, and crystal clear dialogue, until you can afford the surround sound system that is. (p.s. Vann's sells some equally killer Samsung home theater sound systems.) Samsung PN58C8000
For rilla, Samsung rocks its styliciously deliciousness
In other words, the Samsung PN58C8000 looks pretty dang sharp with its brushed titanium bezel.
ENERGY STAR of approval
Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, Samsung has made sure that the PN58C8000 meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR qualification—as a matter of fact, it uses up to 43% less energy than Samsung's 2009 plasma t.v. (in standard mode). What does the ENERGY STAR qualification mean? ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can reduce energy consumption and expenses by up to one third while resulting in similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice. When a product boasts the ENERGY STAR qualification, this means the product meets stringent government standards set by the EPA and US Department of Energy for conserving both energy and the environment. So whether you are concerned for the environment, your pocket book or both, this HDTV helps ensure both are given an easier load to bear. Samsung PN58C8000
HDMI Incredible
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Samsung's PN58C8000 features four HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)
