The Samsung PN64D8000 64" 3D Plasma HDTV packs a huge amount of great high-end specs and convenience features into a wafer-thin 1" (25.4mm) frame which gives the illusion of a bigger picture and a narrower outer frame - all in virtually the same space as previous generation models.
The combination of Mega Dynamic Contrast which delivers a ratio of 25,000,000:1 with 1080p HD and the Crystal Full HD Engine makes the PN64D8000 a remarkable TV by any standard. But that's just the beginning. Samsung hasn't sacrificed creature comforts for strong specs.
Since every room is different, the PN64D8000 employs a Real Black Filter, which allows you to enjoy sharp and well-defined black shadows and dark details. The 600Hz Subfield Motion performance flashes the plasma sub-pixels, rendering crystal-clear, judderless action which will definitely make gamers and sports fans happy. Additionally, the PN64D8000's wide connectivity includes four HDMI connections to accommodate current components and future purchases. A USB drive allows you to share slide shows and videos with your friends with ConnectShare Movie.
In addition to all of the above, the PN64D8000 is loaded with convenience features like built-in Wi-Fi, Local Contrast Enhancer and AllShare DLNA networking.
Lastly, Energy Star compliance means that you'll be saving money while helping to save the environment.

Comments about Samsung PN64D8000 64" 3D Plasma HDTV:
We replaced a 40" Mitsubishi tube TV that was slowly dying. The picture is fantastic!. As a bonus we got a blue ray CD player and two sets of 3D glasses. Considering that, B & H had the lowest price anywhere. The delivery service was first class too. We are just exploring the smart TV aspects, but setting up the WiFi was no problem.

I researched the best plasma/LCD TV and landed on the Samsung PN64D8000. B&H had the best price (by far) [...] B&H came through again.

Comments about Samsung PN64D8000 64" 3D Plasma HDTV:
I have always heard Samsung quality is questionable but so far I am impressed. The picture is terrific especially considering it is priced much lower than a comparable Panasonic. I use external speakers and a receiver so I can't speak to the quality of the internal speakers. Set-up was fairly easy and the remote works well but it is blutooth so you must sync it to use the qwerty side of the remote. I certainly like the large number of inputs and the metal bezel looks black when watching tv so it is not distracting. Time will tell on the reliability. [...] Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.
