Q: QuestionDo you really get more out of the B8500 then the B8000. Is it all around better?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Although I can go on and on about the benefits of a higher contrast, or how the B8500 true back lit LED array will enhance your TV viewing with richer colors; the only way that you will see the difference is if you head to your local Best Buy and compare the two models. That said, I can give you some information that will help you make your decision easier. On the topic of contrast, the contrast on the B8000 and B8500 is stated as Mega Contrast; however if a number had to be given to their respective contrast ratios, the B8000 would offer a 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast while the B8500 offers a 7,000,000:1 dynamic contrast. Remember, the contrast is a ratio of the luminance of the brightest color (white) to that of the darkest color (black) that the system is capable of producing. So with an extra 2 million points of contrast, you will definitely see a difference between the B8000 and the B8500. Also what helps in producing deeper blacks on the B8500 that the B8000 does not offer is the local dimming feature that is available due to the true back lit LED array -this means that since the LED array is arranged behind the panel on the B8500 (unlike the B8000 which is edge-lit) the TV's back light engine can "turn off" sections of the LED array to make the screen perfectly black. I hope this has helped you out and armed you with the information you need in order to make the right choice. -MrSamsung
