The Samsung Ue55c8000 Tv - A First Look

Television has certainly come a very long way in the decades since it was first widely available to the public

. The sets of today, such as the Samsung UE55C8000, are so different from the models of television's early years, that they seem to bear little resemblance to each other. Modern technology has also given us a whole new range of terminology which is useful to understand when shopping for a new TV.

Over the years, television screen sizes have become a lot bigger. This is one of the first things many people focus on when looking for a TV. The screen size is a diagonal measurement, whether in inches or centimeters, across the viewing area, from one corner to the other. At 55 inches, the TV in our example shows just how large a screen it is possible to get.

Aside from screen size, an aspect that the modern TV shopper should be familiar with is pixel resolution. This is expressed in terms of two numbers, width by height, as in 1920x1080, which is the resolution of the Samsung. The higher the numbers, the sharper the screen image will be, and the more detailed the picture.

Another term which may seem unfamiliar to some people is "screen format", which is expressed as a ratio. For example, 16:9 is the screen format of the television in our example, where 16 refers to the width and 9 refers to the height. Another way of looking at it is that the screen is about 1.7 times wider than it is high (16 divided by 9) which is common for high definition television, or HDTV.

A large number of contemporary TVs use LED technology to produce the light for the picture. LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology is a more energy efficient way to create light . It also produces a higher contrast image compared with older ways of lighting. Additionally, the LED involves less use of components such as mercury which are considered to be toxic.

The Samsung has 4 HDMI inputs, and while this may seem like a strange term if one is not familiar with it, it really is simple. An HDMI (which stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface) input is a connection for a DVD player, a computer, a video gaming device, a blu-ray player, and the like. In the typical family there will probably be several of such devices is use.

Probably the most fascinating feature of currently available television is 3D technology. While 3D viewing is not new, before now it has not been available for the home TV watcher. Made popular by recent 3D motion pictures, watching TV in 3D requires that special glasses are worn which configure the imagery to produce the multidimensional effect. This is a feature of this television.

Though the terminology involved in understanding the features of modern TVs may be confusing, most terms are easily understood when translated to plain language. Shopping for a new TV such as the Samsung UE55C8000 is easy when one has a little education in the most important specifications. This will definitely make the whole process more enjoyable.
