Before I had my UN55B8000, I think we had five special remote controls! 1 for the Box, an extra for the surround sound, an additional for the DVD, 1 for the Satellite, one more for the hard-drive recorder. Argh! What a menace! But now I own only ONE remote control! This is all owing to Samsung's "Anynet Plus" technology where you are able to run any other plugged-in piece of equipment from your Samsung remote control.

My family regularly snicker at me when I pronounce this Samsung UN55B8000 is the Television of the future! With Samsung's "Media2.0", you are able to hook your Television up to the internet, and receive content through Yahoo widgets, for example photographs from Flickr, and streaming videos from YouTube. My gal was also incredibly satisfied with the pre-loaded recipes and fitness drills that the TV came with.
