The first wave of Internet subscribers used dial-up connections to connect to the Internet But this kind of connection has a lot of disadvantages like very poor speed, latency, intermittent connectivity, etc. It has been conceived that Internet data can be transferred through Cable TV networks. There are three types of connections placed in this category; PSTN connection, ISDN connection and Internet via Cable Networks. Advantages of these are high bandwidth and availability, high speed data access, consistent connectivity and low cost, etc.

As the demand for Internet grows each year, the net is now congested resulting to expensive rate and slower internet access. Cable TV now offers a great role in providing Internet access to homes and commercial infrastructure; since Cable TV is the first player when entertainment is the topic. Thus, it has been worked out that the Internet data should pass through cable networks. At first, it has been the alternative but as feasibility grew, it is now the first option. Cable internet now offers up to 15,000 Mbps for the download speed and up to 2,000 Mbps for the upload which is twenty times faster than dial-up connections. And due to accessibility and availability of cable Internet the growth boosted up to 50% for the first year of operation, and continues for 10% percent every six months.

Currently, there are no other connection that could replace the quality, availability and accessibility of Internet access via Cable TV networks. 80% of those who have cable TV connections opt to have Internet connections as well. It is a good thing to know that families enjoy watching TV while browsing the Internet.

The Samsung UN55B8000 LCD TV (an LED backlit device) is one of the new range of Samsung LED TVs that is razor thin, uses very little energy (compared to other LCD TVs and Plasma TVs) and also produces outstanding image quality.

The most interesting feature of UN55B8000 LCD TV is its extreme razor thin design. At a thickness of only only 1.2 inches the UN55B8000 can be hung on a wall just like a picture but it is important to note that useful features are not sacrificed even with this extreme profile.

Picture Quality

First off, image quality is extremely high. This is due to the LED back lighting technology. Normal LCD TVs use Fluorescent tubes for the back light which can never be fully turned off hence the low contrast ratios. High contrast levels can be achieved using LED technology because individual LEDs can be completely turned off and this means crisp life like images which are of cinematic quality.

Additionally LCD TVs have suffered from image blur which is overcome in this UN55B8000 using proprietary Auto Motion processing and also by operating at four times the speed of other LCD TVs (240Hz). Image processing interpolates the missing frames for action sequences so you will not miss any detail at all.

ECO green operation

Green operation is all due to the LEDs allowing theminimum profile and in general smaller components there are three benefits:

Reduced power consumption (40% less than a normal LCD TV).

Smaller packaging size and weight - so the total delivery carbon footprint is reduced.
No toxic chemicals - there is no poisonous mercury as there are no fluorescent tubes.
Internet Access.

The UN55B8000 LED TV has built in internet access (via Ethernet cable or wireless access point). It can even update its own software via the internet. Using a proprietary Widget interface the UN55B8000 allows you to access streaming content from YouTube and Flicker as well as Samsung's own Online content source.

This review has only touched on the capabilities of the UN55B8000 which include multiple connection points (4 HDMI, 2 USB and more) and DLNA compatible connection protocol. In addition to the extensive connections available (with which you can easily connect up a Blue Ray Player, XBOX360 or PS3 etc.) there is also a built in content library. Even more, there is games mode which enhances sound imaging and processing to give the ultimate gamine experience.
