I love the tv, but...

The image is sharp, razor sharp. My wife and I comment all the time how we can see the flaws in actors skin now. I love the 3D even with the minimal ghosting, however this seems to be a problem with some of the different movies more than the TV since some movies have no ghosting while others just can be adjusted right. Anyway, my only complaint is that the TV can't support .mp4 file formats. I know this is apples proprietary system, but come on, its the wave of the future. If Samsung wants to compete they should make it an option. This could be done with a software upgrade. It would make my life easier, and I am sure many others out there. That's all.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: no .mp4 format support

I love this TV!

We bought this TV at one of the Big Box Stores after viewing all of their LED HDTV's. The picture quality was the best out of all the other brands. I literally stood back and looked at all the TV's on display and I could tell which one's were Samsung by the great picture quality. There just wasn't any comparison between the other brands. I highly recommend the whole line of Samsung HDTV's. We now have three in our family. Unless Samsung changes the quality of their products, I will always buy their brand. I will also never go back to standard programming again...HD all the way. One more thing...I am a person who does A LOT of research on a product before I buy, and I found that Samsung consistently had some of the best reviews out there. I've done the homework for you here people. Just by the Samsung TV/product and be happy! :o)
PS: You will probably want a sound bar or surround sound system to get the best media experience from your TV. A sound bar and sub-woofer will make most people happy. It makes movies come alive!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, unbelievably clear picture, totally enjoyable media experience
Cons: no cons | all pros

Best Picture Available

Expertise:Intermediate
The picture is amazing, everyone that sees it says it's like the people on screen are in the room. Set up was very easy, it interfaced with all of my HDMI devices with no problem.
The wireless internet was also easier that I've experienced with other devices. I plugged in the adaptor and within a minute it connected to my home network.

Absolutely the best LED HDTV - PERIOD!!!

Samsung has definitely outdone themselves on this set. The 240 Hz. Auto Motion Plus works perfect. There is no Blurring, tiling or pixilation during high speed motion scenes. I'm pleased that I purchased this set; instead of the current top of the line 240 Hz. LCD HDTV's. I replaced a 42” LCD with the 55” Samsung. I cannot get over how thin the set is (1.177”). It also weighs less than my 42” LCD. I have not made any adjustments to the picture. The out of the box settings are outstanding. The set is hooked up wireless (you need to purchase a Samsung wireless LAN adapter). We enjoy seeing digital photos from our laptop displayed in high resolution using the file share program. Would definitely recommend this set. Would like a cheaper price, but it will cost less as time goes on. The embedded widgets are nice, just not items I will use much, except for the weather. My friends are very impressed with the overall quality and picture of the set. We watch shows in HD that we have seen before, as if we were watching it for the first time. Playing Xbox or PS3 games on a 55” HD screen is absolutely awesome.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very happy
on December 13, 2009

This is my first HD TV so I did a lot of research on line and checking out TVs in the stores. I am very happy with the picture. The colors are quite impressive. I went with the LED ultra slim and the ultra slim mount because I wanted to mount the TV above my brick fire place. I was able to mount the TV in about 15 minutes (very easy). The TV is so thin and the mount is a little more than an inch off the wall so the TV looks like a picture hanging and not like a large piece electronics jutting out from the wall. I had read on different sites and in consumer reports that the viewing angle was poor with this TV. This was a concern for me knowing that the TV would be mounted above the fire place which puts the top of the TVabout 3-4 inches from the ceiling. But I have seen no degredation in the picture quality from when I am sitting down to when I am standing straight in front of the TV. The viewing angle off to the side is also very good. The only thing I am not very impressed with is the 240 hz. The picture tends to look like it is shot with a camcocorder when the 240 hz is turned on. The good thing is that you can adjust the smoothing and juttering. So far I think the best picture is with the 240hz turned off. Overall this TV is great and perfect for wall mounting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

8000 Has Awesome Picture
on December 21, 2009
Posted by: Grizzlymark
from Rochester , NY
Expertise:Expert
Bought my 8000 a couple of months ago and waited to see how it would be.
Greens and Blues were too brigt at first but once ISF calibrated they are ok. The home setting wasn't enough.
I have to say that this has one awesome picture now though equivelent to my 50 inch plasma. I do wish it had better speakers built in. But as long as its hooked to a home theater system its much better.

UN55B8000 55" 1080p LED HDTV Review
on December 25, 2009
Posted by: LGBFLORIDA
from Washington D,C,
Expertise:Intermediate
I am very pleased with the picture quality...especially when I watch the Washington Capitals (hockey) games. I can actually see the hockey puck.
I am not very please with the Internet option. The unit is connected directly to my cable router and is "very" slow. Additionally it would be nice watch movies from Netflix and not be restricted to Blockbuster. The Widgets are also slow and cumbersome. Plus the remote control light comes on all the time and drains the batteries. I checked online and apparently this is a known problem/issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!
