The single component/composite connection is shared and requires a special adapter (supplied)-a concession to the set’s 1.5-inch depth.

The PN59D8000 offers an ample supply of inputs-as long as that means HDMI. But they do help the environment and save manufacturers a bundle on multi-language printing costs. I’m not a big fan of these increasingly common e-manuals I find them less convenient than a good old-fashioned paper version. More complete information is available on screen. Typical of a growing industry trend, Samsung’s skimpy printed manual offers only basic guidance. While hardly a bargain at $3,000, it offers a lot of bang for your ever-shrinking buck. Just remember that Samsung’s plasma model numbers start with a P.Īt 59 inches (joined by 51- and 64-inch siblings), the PN59D8000 splits the difference between its 58- and 60-inch competitors. Samsung’s latest flagship plasma line is the D8000 series-not to be confused with the company’s D8000 LCD sets, although it surely will be. And at least three major manufacturers, including Samsung, think enough of plasma sets that they continue to make and promote them. But plasmas are also the Cinderella stepsister whose beauty becomes obvious when you really look for it. LCDs clearly dominate today’s HDTV market. We’ve said it before: Plasmas are the sand-in-the-face-at-the-beach, wallflower, last-kid-picked members of the flat-panel team.
