Samsung’s Smart TV is no ordinary boob tube, and Cebu’s leisure class can attest to that after seeing for themselves what the LED D8000 Smart TV could do, at the exclusive viewing party held at Cebu’s hottest nightspot, Maya Mexican Restaurant and Tequila Lounge.

Blogger Jayvee Fernandez of abuggedlife.com, and one of our favorite ladies of style, Lani Osmeña, walked the guests through Smart TV’s first-rate features. It promises to be the fastest laptop and sharpest TV out there, combined into one elegant piece of technology.

Aside from its amazing picture clarity—guzzling Maya’s free-flowing heady mojitos left us giddy with joy but did not alter the Smart TV’s lucidity—and ultra sleek design, its Smart Hub is your gateway to the world without having to move your rear.

The Smart Hub allows you access the Search All function, the App Store—yes, like your Smartphone, you can download any app in any category—and best of all, Social TV, which allows you to combine watching TV and talking about what you’re watching in real time on social networks.

The QWERTY remote—one of two remotes that come with the Smart TV—makes for easy typing as you update your Facebook status, Tweet or chat with friends on GoogleTalk. As well, watching YouTube videos, browsing the web and Skyping on the big screen of the Smart TV make for an unbelievable experience. Everything just looks so much bolder, brighter and better, as Lani demonstrated when she Skyped her daughter Annette who is in Hong Kong doing her undergraduate studies.

Savvy guests who bought a Smart TV that evening went home with a bundle of freebies, including five pairs of 3D glasses, a 3D Blu-ray player and a 32-in LED TV, among other Samsung products.

Since watching TV and munching go so well together, like a wink and a smile, Samsung made sure its guests had the best of Maya’s Mexican favorites, including shrimp quesadillas, empanadas with chorizo, tacos carnitas and the must-try mini Mexican burgers.

All in all, the Samsung Smart TV D8000 Viewing Party was an excellent opportunity to explore yet another brilliant Samsung work of technological art. It’s hard to look at a TV, or for that matter, a computer, in the same way again.
