Nice TV but beware

I did a lot of research and decided on this model. I like the design and the features. The picture is really concerning me. I have had it for two weeks. It has bright spots on the corners that you see when there is no picture on. I think its the LED's so I went in the menus and turned down background but they remain also I have banding being displayed, vertical dark bands. I may take it back.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My new Tv

Just got my new Samsung 65" TV yesterday...installation and set up was very easy....picture quality is not as good I was expecting. The motion control is claimed to be at 240 rate, but I think is slower than 60....sound and speakers are great, best sound out of TV set. Now here is my big issue with this set, I have a 45-50 Mbps internet speed and web browser on this TV is so slow that I gave up on using and testing the browser. I guess you get, what you paid for....its a great value set....
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Not high def, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Buyer Beware

Recently purchased the UN65ES8000. Already own the 46 inch version, which is great, and wanted a bigger version for my man cave. I watch a lot of sports and the first day I owned it decided to watch some hockey. Immediately I noticed the faint dark colored vertical bands moving back and forth across the white background of the ice. There were 5 bands to be exact, 2 of them very noticable. I then switched to watch some golf. There they were again, panning across the fairway and green as the camera followed the ball. VERY annoying. I have done some research and found this a common problem for owners of the 65inch. I am having a replacement delivered in 2 weeks and hope it does not have the same issue because without the vertical bands, this tv would be fantastic. If the problem still persists on the replacement tv, I will probably get a refund and have to change to another brand. I enjoy my other samsung products and hope this wont be the case. This tv is a lot money and expect it to perform as such and be vertical band free.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

GREAT Features

Great TV, except do your homewrok first if you have Directv. They only support the 55" for 3D, not the 65". Also, you need a HD-DVR in order to use the Internet Apps.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have studied the 8000 series for a long time never had the opertunity to pounce untill now. I have 5 computer moniters, a 60 inch led wich i love and a 2 blue ray player and a sansung droid charge wich is also incredible. theres a app to have your tv comtroled be your phone. Oh i also have a 55 inch lcd tv. I absoulty love samsungs support and the buying experience has always been good except this last one i had problems with the delievery guys putting it on a custom stand i built. A friend an i put it up in less than 45 seconds and i securied it and you cant even pull it down if you wanted to.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Stay AWAY!!
on March 18, 2013
Posted by: studioa1
I bought a Samsung 64.9" 8000 series plasma. I will NEVER buy any TV made by Samsung again. In the first few weeks I had a huge "burn in" most of the way across the top of the screen!! So unless you want a large, EXPENSIVE paper weight stay away from this one.
Pros: suppose to be good.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, burn in in first few weeks
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

great tv, but lack a little bit

the f!0s tv app is great, but only has twenty six channels? the other korean-brand smart TVs have seventy five, and not to mention that the !pad has a ton more channels. sammy really needs to step up and stay competitive on these apps. at least put those local channels in the app to get it moving. the last thing i wanna do is drill a hole in my wall and connect a set top box.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've grown to hate this TV

This is my second set. The price point is very high and the big plus is how it looks when it's off. Display uniformity is very unimpressive. Also, reliability is not high - I've just scheduled my 4th service visit in a year :(
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, poor reliability, poor backlight uniformity
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
