Brilliant Stuff.
For 2012, we made improvements to Samsung Smart TV to help maximise your internet TV experience. As a start we introduced a Full Web Browser* that is HTML5 and Flash compatible, so lots of content appears as it should when surfing the net.
Inputting text on a conventional Samsung TV remote control can become a thing of the past thanks to USB keyboard and mouse+ compatibility on Samsung's 2012 Smart TVs. Thanks to integrated Bluetooth on the E8000 series, wireless Bluetooth keyboard and mouse+ devices are also supported, providing greater freedom for internet access.
Samsung recommends Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse devices for Smart TV (both sold separately)..

Real Black Pro Panel
The search for pure black image reproduction led Samsung to the development of the new generation Real Black Pro panel featuring a new, advanced panel structure and exceptional picture processing. The Real Black filter and its advanced multi-layer AR coating helps enhance the on-screen contrast and delivers incredibly pure blacks. The end result an immersive, cinematic visual experience on TV.
Elegant. Minimalistic. Cutting Edge.
The E8000 series Plasma TV is unconventionally “slim” and features a Titan Black frame that is beautifully encased within a crystalline bezel that accentuates the picture, delivering an immersive viewing experience.
