WOW!
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 price factor was a big di...

truly amazing
I took delivery of this product today, and it was connected very quickly and the universal remote was set up in a snap. The picture is truly amazing. as sharp and awesome as i have ever seen on any set anywhere. I took a Samsung 58 inch plasma that i had in the family room and moved it to another room, and put this one instead. The reason? The plasma is a wonderful set, but produced a lot of heat both on the screen and through the top vents. It was like a heater being on at all times the t...

Mindblowingly Dissapointing!!!!!
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!
After speaking with Samsung for the umteenth time about all the problems I have experienced with their newest technologically advanced television, I was informed they would only consider replacing it after three attempts to repair it have failed!!!!, That would be 3 days of lost wages, for which I could just go buy a new set and save the money, what a SCAM!!!! I should have learned my lesson with this company, they are SCUMBAGS!!!!!!...

Very good but not perfect
Clarity and colors are stunning. It literally makes everything you watch look like it was filmed with a consumer grade camcorder rather than pro grade cameras. This TV makes things look like they are happening in front of you in your very own room. You see every strand of hair, every wrinkle, every mole and blemish on faces. You have to see it to believe it. One way to describe it is that everything looks "different" than what you may have been accustomed to seeing. I recommend that you see this...

Startling clarity, detail, and color
Had my Samsung UN55B8000 TV a couple of weeks now. It has more than lived up to the hype. Hooked it up and put on a blu-ray disk. Even the delivery guy's jaw dropped, and he's delivered/set up hundreds of TVs.
TV is only inch and half thick and only weighs 60 pounds or so.
In fact, it is sometimes almost too good. When viewing people on HD you can see every little mole, scar, wrinkle, stray hair, makeup, five o'clock shadow, makeup line, etc. I'm sitting here watching the ...

Samsung LED LCD is a Superior TV
Sorry, but the other comments about reverse vignetting or edge-lighting are sheer nonsense. You can see anything if you look hard enough - and that is the point. I originally bought the Samsung UN46B8000 (46 inch LED) and observed no such issue whatsoever - just a superb picture. After nearly 30 days I got bigger screen envy, so I went back to Best Buy and purchased the UN55B8000 (55 inch), and traded in the 46 inch. Once again a fantastic picture with no edge-lighting. No issues at all. Sams...

Picture Quality and Dynamic Contrast are the next best thing to 3D
Not perfect, but it's the closest thing I've seen so far. Really deserves 4 1/2 stars instead of 5 due to the lack of a couple convenience features missing from the remote, and the limited number of non HDMI inputs. The picture quality, light weight, reduced power use, and thin cabinet are just terrific. The remote takes a couple hours to really bond
with though you can start watching TV and movies pretty quickly without knowing how to make adjustements other than selecting your input sou...

Samsung UN55B8000 LED TV
Picture quality 9 of 10, pretty cool actually. Yes, there is some color variation in corners of screen (light pumping) minor, u really have to look for it. Samsung 950A is a little better IMHO. But is old tech compared to networking opts on 8000. Wait for 950B, later this summer. If u can.
Haven't had to make any tweaks to picture, apart from temporary changes depending on signal source.
Take care if hanging on wall; Tv is slim & fragile. make sure top 2 bolts are carrying most of ...

Dark Room?
I just got one of these and I must admit it seems like a very good product although it does lack some component inputs (only 1). I watched mine in a dark room and did not experience the same problem as the previous reviewer. I love the fact this TV has so many HDMI and USB connectionms as well as a LAN. So far so good. Im gonna hook up the Blue Ray when I get home. [...]

Best picture ever
I had researched this LED product online and in-store. I found the best features at the best price and did not have to pay sales tax nor shipping. I could not be happier with this 55" Samsung TV.
