  The Good: Better black levels than other edge-lit sets; accurate color with linear grayscale; numerous picture controls and tweaks; sleek styling with inch-deep panel; superb streaming and widget content via well-integrated Apps platform; 3D compatible; 2D to 3D conversion system works better than expected.

  The Bad: Extremely expensive; subpar uniformity and off-angle viewing; lighter black levels than full-array local-dimming sets; black areas tinged bluer; 3D exhibited ghost images along edges (crosstalk); does not include 3D glasses; terrible remote.

  The Bottom Line: Its 3D is still a work in progress and its 2D picture quality comes up short of the best available, but the high-end Samsung UNC8000 series still offers superb features, solid performance, and unique style.

  Review Summary: A 46in 3D TV that's been around for a while, age doesn't appear to have withered the Samsung LED 8000 UE46C8000.

  Review Summary: A competent and stylish 3D enabled LCD TV that suffers from a few minor glitches ..

  The Verdict: Like the larger models in the range, the UE40C8000 improves on the 3D performance of its C7000 sibling and seems to have addressed (if not completely removed) those annoying backlight issues. If you are open to buying an LCD or Plasma and want the best...
