  • Great Picture, Not so great blacks, Should have waited., April 5, 2010

    • By Farburn69 “FartBurn69″ (PA)

    Well, first off, let me say this television is by no means bad. The picture quality is fantastic and the 240hz feature takes some getting used to, but brings you closer to the movies in a more personal way. 240hz will seem a little weird at first, but give it a try.

    One thing I have to note, however, is that the “flashlighting” “spotting” effects have unfortunatly made their way to my TV since day one. I do most of my watching in the evening in a dark room, so whenever the screen goes to black I see the splotching clearly and bright as day. It’s really a let down for how much I paid ($2,500 in december, ill get to that later..) . .
    For the price of this TV they should have really ironed out those problems beforehand, or do a recall or a firmware update to fix it. I heard it has something to do with the LED being side lit. Inexcusable in my opinion.

    Lastly, I am very disapointed to see the price of the B8000 55″ go down $600 a week after I purchased it for a whopping $2,500. Technology advances, I can understand, but they should have let the consumers know the “C” line was coming. So basically, IF I would have waited a couple weeks I could have gotten a UN55C7000 with almost twice the contrast ratio, 3d ready, and no flashlighting. I really feel screwed over.

    After viewing the FAQ on the samsung website, they claim the B series is not 3d ready and never will be 3d ready. So those of us who just upgraded to what we thought was the cutting edge, best, new LED TV two weeks ago will be quick to learn the TV is infact an incompitant and over priced LED TV.

    Now that the television has dropped nearly $800.00 in price, it really is a great buy for ANY consumer. You’re getting a lot of TV for that price. If you have the opportunity to grab the C7000 for five hundred dollars more, definetly go for it. I still feel the TV should be lowered in price.

  • WOW!, September 10, 2009

    • By Kalibr (Florida)

    I have owned Sony televisions exclusively for the past 30 years. I was in the market for a new TV to replace my older Sony 50″ Grand WEGA LCD projection set. I always keep up with new technologies in consumer electronics and knew that LED backlighting was the way to go. One day, I visited Best Buy to see the new Sony models. I was particularly interested in the Sony Bravia XBR8 LED TV. It has an awesome display, but I couldn’t bring myself to part with $5K for a TV. The high price was a big disappointment. I knew Samsung made LED models so I decided to check them out too. I was immediately floored. They looked far better than Sony’s more expensive LED model and for $2K less. But, was I really willing to purchase something other than a Sony TV? I would have to be convinced. I did a lot of research on these Samsung sets. I demoed them in several stores and read as many reviews as possible. IMO, the Samsung LED TVs are by far the best technology currently available. Their display must be seen to be believed. Most impressive of all, is the fact that Samsung accomplished this in a set that is only 1.2″ thick.

    Well, I was finally convinced and decided to purchase the Samsung UN55B8000. I have owned it for almost a month now and I am in awe every time I watch it. This set is beautiful even when it’s turned off. But, you won’t want to turn it off because the clarity, detail, brightness, contrast and color are absolutely exceptional. For the first time I have owned a TV, I did not have to make any adjustments to the factory settings – it looked perfect right out of the box. In fact, I had purchased a calibration DVD and was surprised to find that I didn’t have to make any adjustment to any controls.

    Of course, the most amazing thing about this set and what intially lured me to it is its picture quality. It’s difficult to explain the level of detail it produces. I have HD cable programming (1080i), which looks fantastic. Games on the Xbox 360 pops out at you. But the images produced from a Blu-ray source is absolutely breath-taking. I was also pleasantly surprised at how bright the display looks in my sunlit family room. I thought I would have to adjust the brightness to view the set in daylight and again when watching at night as I did with our old Sony TV. Although the screen on the UN55B8000 has a gloss finish, it does a great job of reducing glare and reflections.

    I do want to respond to the negative comments that others have posted here regarding uneven backlighting or vignetting effect caused by the edge-lit LEDs when the TV displays dark images. The only time I notice this was when the set displays a totally black background such as in movie credits. At best, it appears as a very faint illumination from the corner. But even then, I really had to look for it. I don’t think this is an issue at all; at least not one that should deter anyone from purchasing this incredible TV. I have to assume that those that have experienced this anomaly are probably looking at an uncalibrated set that has its brightness level turned way too high.

    I took advantage of the slim design of this set and purchased the ultra slim wall mount. The TV hangs like a picture frame and looks like a masterpiece, which it is. The slim case houses adequate speakers, producing fairly good sound quality for normal TV viewing. Of course, you would want to watch movies through a surround sound system.

    As for the other features of this set; the internet widgets are pretty cool, but slow. I especially like the YouTube widget. The DLNA network feature is also a nice addition, but the interface is also slow and not very intuitive. I’m hoping that a future firmware upgrade would improve the functionality. The content library feature is my favorite. It allows you to display a slideshow of artwork or other pics with soft background music – great for parties. You can download additional content for free from Samsung.

    I am extremely pleased with this television and would recommend it to anyone.
