Design and Features
Samsung designed the PN64D8000 with minimalism clearly in mind, bringing the glossy, black bezel down in size even further than before. The 1.5-inch thin frame sits on a chrome stand with four legs, though it still can swivel left and right. The PN64D8000 comes with four HDMI inputs, two USB ports, integrated 802.11 Wi-Fi and more.

Cracking open this 64-incher would reveal hardware that powers this plasma screen's 600Hz subfield drive, or refresh rate as most know it as, and its 0.001 millisecond response time. A Real Black Filter can also be found the plasma screen, which surpasses the amount of reflected light, reducing glare and increasing contrast.

In addition to a suite of Samsung web apps including Skype through built-in Wi-Fi, users can connect the PN64D8000 through other DLNA devices to access video and audio on the Samsung TV's screen. And through USB, users can access video and audio from an attached USB drive or camcorder. As with other 3D TVs, separately sold 3D glasses are required. The PN64D8000 is an Energy Star qualified product.
