Samsung UN55B8000 55" LED TV

Best TV in the World, 55" 8000

Strengths: Order of magnitude better picture quality than anything else, 3d effect amazing, amazing resolution, contrast, brightness, flush wall mount, redefines how we watch home theater

Weakness: None in picture. Controls could be faster, auto-motion setting and picture mode should have buttons on remote control (programmable?), Can't wait for larger screens, someday 80"...

Picture quality is jax dropping. After many years of 1080p/24 and 120Hz, the 8000 is an order of magnitude better. It also beats every picture I've seen on any TV in any store, including the $6k plasmas by far. 1080i from cable HD (and 30 year old blurays) beats any bluray from other TV's (mine and seen in stores) by far in 3d effect and picture quality, and blu-ray on the 8000 is a class ahead...

Prices should plummet on these since the 8000 Series...

Strengths: Samsung is making, probably the best sets out today.

Weakness: Samsung's model numbering system and the way they dump model information from their website and their support the second that a new model is released.

I saw a brief blurb the other day that Samsung had or are releasing the 9000 Series. Since then I am seeing more and more threads popping up where current users and new buyers can't find online info or that Samsung has dropped the 8000 Series from their website. Making many quite concerned if the 8xxx Series will continue to be supported. Samsung says yes, but they dropped my HL50A650 DLP...

Samsung 8000 LED 55" ROCKS

Strengths: Picture, picture, picture baseball looking real coming over home plate.

Weakness: I don't know of any.

Amazing picture is all I can say. We bought this last month and wow. This TV brings to life old black and white moview that the light seems to go around the figures. It is so close to 3D it is astonishing... We had a 52" Samsung plasma that I was worried about parting with but once this was on... it was like the plasma was 20 yrs. old. The technical perks I don't use, I just like a good picture...

Firmware Problems With 8xxx Series-No Support

Strengths: Nice Picture

Weakness: No Support-Broken Firmware

Beware of this TV. Samsung is running away from it -discontinued it only six months after release and support now appears to be almost non-existent. Case in point: downloaded Amazon.com video on demand widget from the "widget gallery" that Samsung/Yahoo makes available on the TV. Started the widget and it said I needed firmware update. Went to software update screen and it confirmed that new...

great great tv.....wished i bought it long time...

Strengths: picture quality; light on energy; cool slim factor

Weakness: propietary wireless internet adapter needed if you want to go wireless

very cool tv. if i could, would buy another...maybe if price drops when the 9-series comes in market. the pictures come alive on screen; so amazing to watch; i especially love that it is light on energy usage....compare to my plasma of five years ago that consumes probably 4 times as much.

Samsung LED......Awesome

Strengths: This is the best picture that I have ever seen and viewed. I was going to save money by purchasing an LCD instead of the LED and glad I didn't. Everyone raves about how clear and concise of picture.

Weakness: None soo far.

As I stated in the strengths of this TV, being the newest concept with LED and 240 hz, I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting the best available and my purchase and process was handled perfectly, including delivery.

reccomend the pick your price on this item

Strengths: the picture is absolutely amazing! you feel like you are sitting inside the set. agreeably it is nearly 3D like.

Weakness: on the downside of the picture quality in certain cases the picture is too good (not a complaint on the television side) certain sets are noticeably fake, like a backdrop of the grandcanyon.

overall- most outrageous tv i have ever watched. watching anything on another television seems fuzzy. the speakers are not the best but it is tolerable and i have intension of hooking up a surround so

Samsung 55" LED

Strengths: Gorgeous color, contrast, sharpness

Weakness: slight darkening at corners

The colors are so vibrant and beautiful that you don't really notice the darkening unless someone, like my engineer husbnd, points it out to you. This tv is mesmerizing.

UN55B8000 55" LED TV

Strengths: Good picture quality

Weakness: no as of now

Picture quality is awesome. After many years of 1080p/24 and 120Hz, the 8000 is an order of magnitude better.

Samsung LED TV's

Strengths: Gives true color picture

Weakness: Needs improvement in the audio. Ports point out therefore not allowing flush wall mount.

Way over price for the market. Samsung needs to come down on their pricing. There are several other LCD's that offer exactly the same for much less. The whole idea in building over seas was to lower the price not jack it up to where it becomes cost prohibited. Check out the customer ratings? Most are 3 star or less.
