5 Stars Wow!!!
So I did a lot of research on LED tv’s. Samsung by far is the best LED tv out there right now. Don’t be fooled and get another brand as Toshiba, LG, Sony, none of them can match the quality of the Samsung UN55B8000 model. Once you tune the tv, all I could say was wow! Watching HD channels and blu ray is unbelievable. The thickness and weight is something you have to see to believe. 1.2″ and 51lbs for a 55″ screen?? Unreal!
The only thing that you have to be wary of is that you do need to get used to the colors and motion. Basically everything that is HD looks like it is 3D. The characters pop almost like you are watching 3D. There are instances where everything is so crisp and clear that it looks to be in slow motion. This can be adjusted with the right setting. Funny though that if you look carefully, because the picture is so clear and crisp, you can actually tell everything is fake, as if you were on the set of the movie you are watching and you can tell all the plastic fake props on set!
2 Stars Good picture, but bad Motion
Well I purchased the Samsung 55 inch 8000 series LED LCD. After months of research and comparing it to Sony, this LCD has one of the best image quality in the market. Watching Blu ray on this LCD is just awesome. In terms of picture quality it beats the Sony Z series and all the Sony series, however the Sony XBR is almost the same as this.
The sound is really not that bad if you look at how slim this LCD is, so you can connect it to a sound bar or Bose cinemate. Another thing is that this does not have digital audio out, and only has a 3.5m stereo audio out. You need to buy a cable tree to RCA to connect to a home theatre or sound bar.
It comes with a lot of other drawbacks as well and sometimes I wonder if I should have gone with a Sony. The 240hz is just a gimmick. I am very sure the 120hz does the job so no need to consider this. As for the 2ms pixel response time on the 8000 is also one thing that a human eye cannot tell the difference. The 7000 series 4ms response time is the same. These are tactics to sell the units.
I am very sensitive to Motion blur, and the reason I bought the 8000 was so that I don’t regret buying the 7000. But I was wrong. It clearly makes sense to buy the 7000 series as it will do the same job with the 120hz. But I have to say in Motion especially while watching analogue channels and sports channels, Sony XBR and Z series do the job perfectly. Nothing can beat a Sony in motion delivery. My next LCD will be a Sony because of Motion issues with Samsungs.
Also another thing to note is the reflection on this LCD. It is a lot especially for my apartment as I have floor to ceiling windows. But since I have curtains it is not that bad. But still Sony are better in this category as well.
And lastly i would say that the 8500 series is almost out now, so anyone buying the 8000 should wait and go for the local dimming LED technology in the 8500 series. But if you cant wait, then buy the 7000 series and not the 8000 series as difference is minimal. But if you can afford then go for the XBR Sony.
1 Star This TV set: BAD. Samsung customer service: Surprisingly good.
I bought this TV in May’09, and I was impressed with the form factor, how thin it was, etc. But there were all kinds of issues with the image, and if you read the other reviews right here on Amazon you’ll see that there’s a common issue with the lighthing coming from the corners. I’m not that picky… but this is bad, it’s there all the time, really annoying. The 240 hz feature is another real pain, makes it almost impossible to watch. The camera pannings will make you dizzy. But at least this one bug can be disabled from the settings menu.
So I called Samsung, customer service was pretty good – they sent a guy within a week. He came in, look at the unit, ran some tests, and recognized the ligthing issue, said he had seen it in a lot of these. So within 2 weeks they sent a replacement screen. Same guy came with a brand new screen, we put it up… and… there it was again. Same issue.
After 5 months and a lot of phone calls Samsung is going to send me a full refund, and they’ll pick up the unit. I’ll buy a Panasonic Plasma this time. My recommendation based on what I’ve seen is obvious… do NOT buy this TV.
5 Stars Store Card vs Amazon Credit Card
I thought I bought this TV (which is fantastic and I love it) with 12 months no payments, no interest.
It turns out that the so-called Store Card is not the Amazon credit card–and there was no such deal
using the Credit card. I ended up with $2,899.99 on my Amazon Credit Card–all due the following month.
I called Chase–the manager was arrogant as I tried to explain the problem. She giggled and said that
she’d never heard of this offer. I called Amazon–many pages of “clickable” choices.
I finally found the “Help” link. This guy was nice but explained the difference between the Amazon Credit
Card and the Amazon Store Card and suggested I ship the TV back and redo the order. Nice in theory but
I’d already unpacked and installed the “thing” so it doesn’t pan out in reality. I kept the
TV (it really is nice) and did not pack it up and ship it back, too much hassle.
Next I got an email from Amazon explaining–in so many words–how I f’d up. Nice. I wrote them back and
explained that I’d go ahead, pay off the TV then cancel mu Amazon “Confusion” Card and revert back to my Citi
card that gives me air miles. I felt better… until I received and answer back explaining that my response to THAT
email didn’t go “anywhere” because it’s unanswerable please go to (link such and such). I did, but once again I found
a busy page where it was difficult to come across the link to contact Amazon. Maybe if I still worked–I’m retired–I’d
have enough time (screwing off at work) to hack around and find these links and sort out all these cards, and offers,
etc. But as I explained in the email–that essentially went nowhere–that once I receive the Chase statement that I paid
the TV off–I will take great pride and joy in canceling that Amazon/Chase Credit Card and lick my wounds–they can
kiss my A– if I ever use it again.
Signed: “Enjoying my TV,” and the fact that I
am rich enough to pay off the debt and not have
to deal with jerks like the manager I dealt
with at Chase. She really reminded me of a
town hall meeting where the idiot from Congress
takes a question then calls someone on her Cell.
Duh?
5 Stars Excellent
Excellent TV, very good image, the lights in the corners worried me, but the truth is that no matter, the picture is very good, nice design, slim, the only thing is the sound, but this is improved with a very good home theater , Samsung has created the best image at the time, One-Call, is serious, thorough, when I ask them, always responded. I am very happy with this TV and still buy in one-call always

5 Stars Works great, nice price
I’m so glad I shopped around for these cables. If I had bought them at a local electronics “big box” store, I would have spent more than five times as much for exactly the same result. There’s no reason to spent megabucks on a short digital cable like this.
Works great from my FIOS TV box to my Toshiba HDTV, recommended to all.
5 Stars Works just fine
I use it to connect my computer to a 720P projector and I’ve never noticed any problems with the connection.

Answer: It is adjustable mount! Please see those holes drilled on the bar. You may adjust the span between screws by fasten them to different hole. That is the reason.

1 Star Very disappointed
This TV has a very nice picture but the sound even at max volumn can hardly be heard from 5 feet away. We purchased it for our boat but even in the small space of our cabin it was not acceptable. DVD’s were even worse. Definitely would not recommend buying this television. We purchased another one locally and it works great and it was less money.Toshiba 19LV611U 19-Inch 720p LCD TV with Built in DVD Player, White
