“The LED 8000 is designed with less edge for more to see.”
Samsung has become an industry leader in the HDTV market over the last decade. They are the second highest seller of televisions in the United States and are always on the cutting edge of technology. Samsung was the first to release edge-lit LED LCD televisions and are still continuing to bring innovation to the market.

Samsung introduced 2 premium innovated series of 3D LED TVs for 2011: the D7000 and the D8000, while D8000 is the higher-end series.
So there are few main differents between Samsung UN55D7000 and Samsung UN55D8000:
The new Samsung D8000 LED series is something we haven’t seen before – it’s absolutely perfect on every aspect – design, technology and features.
The UN55D8000 is an higher end version of the basic Samsung UN55D7000.

From the moment you look at the Samsung UN55D8000 you understand you don’t deal with a regular TV – the UN55D8000 is a virtually edgeless TV.
The bezel (the frame in TV that separates it from the environment) got narrowed dramatically in the 2011 Samsung LED TVs to 0.2 inch (which means more inches to your TV screen), the traditionally TV frame is now disappeared.
This metal bezel is giving a virtually effect of edgeless picture – the screen and panel became one without a border.

Moreover, the UN55D8000 also included a Swivel Stand which supports all the weight of the TV and giving you the option to pivot your TV 10 degrees to the left and right to have the best view.

Another innovation in Samsung UN55D8000 is the Dual view Touch Control with 3 Inch screen and internet widget service, which let you control the TV easily with it’s touch interface, duplicate the TV screen for portable TV watching and also using different widgets and apps on the go.
