I was replacing a 50" LG Plasma that suddenly would not turn on. After shopping (demo) in my metro area I elected to purchase the Samsung UN55B8000 LED/LCD. After going through the set-up menu to adjust the picture quality I was VERY impressed. It was like going from CRT to Plasma all over again.
Moreover I saved $900.00 over the best price I could find in the Oklahoma City metro.
I have not used the built in audio components (read they are weak), but if you don’t have quality surround you should’t be shopping on this end of the quality spectrum anyway.
I own good stuff, this fits in perfectly.

Picture and features are great!! Granted, I’m coming from a CRT tv, so maybe anything would look good. But honestly, the colors are great and the HD channels come in super clear. Screen size is perfect too. I haven’t noticed any of the weird lights on the edges/corners of the screen that some previous reviews mentioned. SD (standard def.) channels are ok…though definitely not as good as the HD ones. But I think you run into that problem on any LED tv. Got a great deal on Amazon too!

I purchased this Samsung from Amazon about 3 weeks ago now and I love the TV.
Although I am not going into tech specs I am a certified tech geek and thoroughly checked this TV out prior to purchasing.
BREATHTAKING Blu Ray playback. Will just simply stop the show for those viewing.
Ease of use of features is much improved over previous Samsung sets. I have owned 2 other very high-end Samsungs in the last few years.
Little mentioned: The remote. The remote functions using it’s own frequency and works just like a good Bluetooth connection. Translation – I can point the remote any direction and it changes the channel, volume, etc. I can walk out into my driveway and change the channel. CNET makes a point to mention the wheel turning is annoying. Wheel-turning is annoying but you can simply press the buttons instead. Best remote I have ever had.
The outward appearance is just top-notch. It is a beutiful TV from the front, the side and behind.
The only other TV I have seen that functions any better is the 8500 model which costs $1000.00 more. That unit offers TRUE LED backlighting, not just edge-lighting like this model. Who cares! Go with this unit.
Bottom line, stop your searching. If you have the means, purchase this TV as fast as you can. You are missing out without it!!
Thanks.

This is a great television! But buyer beware when using the Amazon.com Store Card 0% for 3 years deferred payment. The initial minimum payments would reasonably lead one to believe the balance would be paid in 2 years, not 3 as advertised. I have been going back and forth with customer service about how this could be. After a couple of months of getting nowhere, I have submitted the following complaint to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission:
I purchased a $2,500 television from Amazon.com on a 3-year deferred 0% interest promotion. I expected payments for 3-years of around $70 per month, but my billing statement indicated a minimum payment that would pay off the amount in 2 years. All I wanted was an explanation or justification (such as a sliding scale payment). Instead, all I got was unresponsive ‘copy and paste’ answers from the customer service center. Eventually, on October 31, S. Hern promised a reply in 20 days. I wrote again when I received no response in 20 days, and received a reply from T. Byrd promising a reply in 30 days. This ridiculous. I really don’t care how much I have to pay, all I want is an explanation of why I am not receiving a reasonable expectation of 36-months of even payments. They will say it was in the fine print, but I have read the fine print and see no reference to anything other than paying off the balance in 3 years and undefined minimum payments. Thank you for your assistance.
This experience has been horrible. In general, Amazon.com is great and has low prices, but once you take away the slick web interface and have to deal with the human component of customer service, then you see where the low prices come from.

I just got this TV two days ago. As soon as I started watching I saw that the darks in the corners and along the sides were not nearly as dark as the darks in the center of the picture. It’s as if there’s a gremlin in each corner shining a flashlight towards the center. I called Samsung Customer Service and they told me this problem is caused when the styrofoam packaging is too tight during shipping, and that it should go away in 2-3 weeks. If not I should call back and they will send a tech out to look at it. The service rep also mentioned that this is covered under warranty if it doesn’t go away.
So, honestly I don’t know what to think of this TV. When it’s showing pictures that are not dark, (ie a sports game or daylight scenes), it’s picture is fantastic. Clear, rich and beautiful. But if you dim your lights at night and watch a movie that has many dark scenes in it, the backlight problem is very noticeable. If the customer service rep is right, and the problem goes away by itself in a week or two I’ll be delighted. If the problem doesn’t go away I’m gonna be one bummed camper. I’ll try to update back as to how things turn out.
