Samsung UN55D8000 REVIEW & BEST PRICE: October 2011

Samsung UN55D8000 Great quality display.
I've had the Samsung UN55D8000 for about 2 weeks. The item was delivered and unpacked but I had to assemble it. You should have 2 people to lift the TV. 4 screws hold the base to the display. 3D glasss are provided in the box. The picture quality is every bit as good as I had hoped for. I don't see any backlighting problems or distortion of the picture. The sound is disappointing, but I have a home theater that I plan to use instead. The wireless setup was easy and there are plenty of apps to download and install. Both the TV and Blu-ray player needed software updates, so its best if you have a wireless router at your home.

A 60" model would have been even nicer, but not at the current price. I chose Amazon because of their reputation, their 30 day return policy, free delivery and the fact they have the lowest price. And I didn't have to haggle with a sale person to price match or be sold an extended warranty.

I purchased the Samsung BD-D6700 Blu-Ray player which has better reviews than the BD-D5500. The combo works great. The BD-6700 grunts when seeking, but it plays fine. The wireless setup is very similar to the TV.

Samsung UN55D8000 Great Picture.
Great picture. Excellent resolution and color depth. Sound is surprisingly good even without external speakers. 3D does not seem very effective, but was not a priority. Video streaming from Netflix works well. Delivery and set up was prompt and efficient. Hope to get many years of trouble free use!

Samsung UN55D8000 Amazing!!
This is my first review that I've written after buying 100's of items on Amazon. I felt compelled to write this short one due to the fact that I'm incredibly impressed with this Samsung UN55D8000 LED 3D TV.

TVs have come a long way since 06. My previous one was a Panasonic 37" Plasma. It was very good in its day although it weighed 100+ lbs and was extremely bulky. The bezel was 6"+ at the bottom and 2"+ all around.

This TV is night and day better in every aspect. That's what you get with technology as the years progress. I was torn between a Plasma and a LED. Plasma's generally have a better refresh rate with games and such but at the expense of power. This LED uses $17 of electricity per year at 5 hours viewing per day!! That's amazing to me as my plasma could use that up in 1-2 months. I'm anticipating my electric bill going down. I was also torn about the 3D aspect, but I'm glad that I went for it. With that being said, a few Pros and cons I've listed below. Take them with a grain of salt. I'm a tech nerd but I'm definitely not a video or audiophile.

Samsung UN55D8000YF AMAZING PICTURE!
All I can say is WOW!!! This TV is amazing! Bluray movies are so clear they look real. 3D blurays are outstanding. The audio is not the greatest, but I have mine connected to my surround sound stereo. The smart hub is cool, although I dont use it much. I love the ipod touch app for the remote. You now have a touch screen remote with this app. It also has better response time than the qwerty remote that comes with the TV.

The TV also arrived 2 days early, which was a bonus!!

Samsung UN55D8000YF AWESOME!
This TV has an almost edge-to-edge picture that is bright and unbelievably sharp. I added a Samsung sound bar in order to compensate for the small speakers in the TV. HD programs are just awesome on this set. Very satisfied!

Samsung UN55D8000YFXZA Great TV amazing Picture.
Got this TV after reading a lot of reviews & a lot of resourcing on each TV. I am so happy with my purchase. Would recommend this TV to any one...

Samsung UN55D8000YFXZA AMAZING!
I've had this tv about 3 days now and have really put it through it's paces. And so far it's passed with flying colors. Before I buy anything, and I mean anything I research it to death (just ask my wife). So when I finally pulled the trigger on this amazing looking tv I had already read every bad thing any web site had said about it. While researching it I decided to pretend I was interested in other tv's and guess what, they ALL had some bad reviews. I was told by someone I respected that the average person who likes what they purchased never writes a review about it but a large percentage of people who were disappointed with there product were more likely to write a review. Made sense. But, just to hedge my bet I made my purchase with a MasterCard due to there additional warranty. Now on to the review.
I was checking Amazon and all the brick and mortar web sites everyday and when Best Buy lowered there price to 2247.99 I went straight to HH Gregg where they match plus 10 percent! Also bought a Samsung 450 Soundbar while there. Took the whole kaboodle home and got to work. Mounted it on a Omnimount low profile unit purchased at Sam's Club (another story all together). Turning the 8000 on for the first time walks you thru a few steps the first of is connecting to your wifi. Easy. Waited on Directv to boot up and WOW, the picture floored me. With the low profile mount it looks like a big photo hanging on the wall, it's so slim it don't seem possible. Not being a huge 3d fan i was not expecting to be impressed by any movie but I popped in Mega Mind 3d that came with the 3d kit and quickly changed my mind. Since I have Directv I also decided to watch one of there 3d channels so I turned it to espn 3d and the Auburn -South Carolina football replay was on, It was very impressive, this 3d thing may catch on after all. I have not noticed any banding or light bleeding in on the edges and believe me I've been looking. The only negative I can say is the sound is not very good...kinda muffled. Get a sound bar or another external sound unit. The Smart Apps have worked good ,or at least the ones I've tried( Netflix, SEC Network and YouTube). Surfing the web using this browser may test your patience due to using arrow keys to select hyperlinks. Downloaded the Samsung Remote to my IPad and this didn't help. Oh well, I'll just stick to my pc or iPad for surfing. Hope this helps someone. If you have any questions just ask.

Samsung UN55D8000 Best Price
I upgraded my T.V. from a 37 inch to this 55 inch beast. The T.V. picture is outstanding. Best I have seen yet. The sound is acceptable. I have not played around much with the streaming portion yet. I love all the options available with this T.V. The 3D movies and games are awesome. I have never been one for 3D but I have to admit that I am hooked. I purchased the 3D bundle with this T.V. It is definitely worth it. I don't care much for the glasses which came with the T.V. as I wish they were the same as in the bundle. I don't like to recharge the glasses and would much rather have it battery operated.

Samsung UN55D8000 Best Price, I'm in love with my new set
I just received my new TV set on Thursday. It was delivered on time, without any hassle. In fact, I changed my delivery date to an earlier date and had no problems with the shipper. They came in, set up the TV, turned it on and it blew me away.
I feel that I paid a more then fair price for the set. I checked prices all over the internet as well as brick and mortar stores with their special sales. I purchase many things on Amazon and have never been unhappy with the product or service.

The picture quality is exceptional and I don/t even have it hooked up to my Digital cable box yet. That comes next week from Time Warner. The sound quality from the set is adequate and I don't think I will invest in surround sound yet. I love the very slim frame. The picture looks like a full bleed print. I recommend this set, the shipper, the whole experience. I was somewhat concerned reading other reviews about the shipper but I had no problems. I can see that my husband is going to be a new TV couch potato. We were not big TV watchers but I see how that is going to change. Movie and popcorn anyone?

We now have had our TV a week and Time Warner sent us our HD Cable Box. I thought the picture was awesome before?? My husband came in, I turned on the set and he sat with his mouth open speechless. This is our first experience with a flat screen, LCD set and we are speechless. We are having some trouble pairing our remote and will take the advise of others and do it closer to the TV. My only complaint if there is one is that we need a better user guide to get us through all the settings. We have not had time to try out the 3D glasses as yet but hopefully with one extra day off we can give it a whirl.

Samsung, you did it. We have not experienced the halo effect on our set. The colors are bright, the picture quality is impressive and what more can I say.

Samsung UN55D8000 Best Buy, Fabulous TV
Recently purchased UN55D8000 have only had the TV for a few weeks. Love the features and Smart Hub. 3D explore is awesome. Easy controls and easy connections. Truly is a Smart TV. Would purchase it again in a heartbeat. Amazon has the best prices for high end televisions.
