Amazing Picture and Design, but not perfect, April 16, 2011 – By dc

The UN55D8000 is an amazing TV. The Picture quality, the design and I will add again the picture quality. I went from a high end Panasonic Plasma that has a great picture to an amazing life like picture.

Here are my thoughts after having the TV setup for 2 weeks:

-Design: This is a complete new look for TV’s. The thin edge looks great! It also allowed me to replace a 51″ tv with the 55″ in the same custom cabinet. It fits perfect and the TV only weighs 34 lbs. (5 stars for sure)

-Setup: Easy to setup. the challenge was pairing the keyboard remote. I had to call customer service and they instructed me to pair it within 8″ of the TV. That worked, but the 8″ instruction is not in the manual so I spend a lot of time trying to pair before I called support. The out of the box settings did need some adjustments, but that was easy. They has contrast and brightness at 100% I changed it to 50%.

-Picture Quality: Amazing, real, life like are words that come to mind. This is also where I have my 1 issue with the TV. The picture is great most of the time, but I do get significant MOTION BLUR when watching basketball and sometimes when watching a non sports program. I have called support and they has me try several of the Motion Plus Settings. None were able to fix the motion blur. This is tough for me as I watch a lot of basketball. I’m still trying to resolve this. I have a AV guy coming to check it out next week. This could be a deal killer if I can’t resolve this. I hope it can be fixed as I can’t justify $3000 for a TV that I can’t watch sports on.

-Sound: I have no idea. I have all my audio go through my AVR.

-Smart TV: I was really looking forward to these features, but as I played with them I realized a few things. 1. I run all my components through a Denon ARV then HDMI to the TV from the Denon. this causes a little issue when the TV becomes the source. The new HDMI 1.4 does support ARC (audio return) but it requires input changes every time. Not a big deal but it is an issue. 2. The speed of the Apps are supper slow and I have the TV hard wired directly to the router for internet 3. Some of the Apps do not support the keyboard remote. For example youtube requires you to use the navigator arrows to enter each letter. 4. The link to my desktop for picture and content is painfully slow. Overall I plan to go with a D-Link Boxee or Apple TV for this type of functionality. Nice to have but will not use it on the TV.

-3D: I have not tested this yet. Waiting on my 3D BD to arrive.

Overall I really like the TV and want to keep it if I can resolve the Motion Blur.

I would like to hear from others who may have had and resolved the motion blur issue.

Finally a 21st Century TV!!!, April 8, 2011 – By Prashant “Prashant” (Phoenix, USA)

I have shopped before at Amazon site for small items, but this is the first time ordering a big-ticket item – LED TV. I have to admit that Amazon has by far exceeded my expectations. It is just so amazing how Amazon takes customer service so seriously and what an exemplary job is being done in that regard. Thank you!

The TV is awesome, picture quality/features/looks and lot more. It is 21st century and it was about time to integrate gadgets in the tv, to avoid all the clutter to connect to tv. Integrations like Wireless internet, DLNA, Browser, qwerty remote are a move in the right direction. There are other TVs that offer this, but Samsung UN55D8000 has done a superb job in this regard. I got a superb price from Amazon and I am very happy so far (been 3 days). Will update if my opinion changes.
