Samsung UN65D8000

Samsung D8000 series information: The review of the Samsung 65-inch UN65D8000 is based on our hands-on experience with the 55-inch UN55D8000 set. Our observations apply across the board with the D8000 series of LED TVs from Samsung. This includes the...

Stunning slim bezel and profile ; Two pairs of active 3D glasses included ; Comprehensive picture adjustment options ; Capable of extreme brightness ; Excellent color when properly calibrated ; QWERTY Bluetooth remote

Brightness uniformity problems ; Highly reflective glass panel ; Picture settings can’t be copied to other inputs

There’s nothing else quite like the UN65D8000 TV and its barely visible bezel. The TV makes a big visual statement whether it is turned on or not.

Samsung UN65D8000

The Samsung UND8000 LED-based LCD TV shows the company's considerable technological know-how being brought to bear on a simple design goal: to make the "TV" itself disappear as much as possible when turned on, leaving nothing but the picture. The...

The Samsung UND8000 series has a unique, visually stunning design that minimizes the frame around the screen for a nearly all-picture look. It produces deep black levels with accurate color, along with excellent video processing and improved 3D picture...

The UND8000 series is extremely expensive and exhibits poor screen uniformity with excessive brightness variation and banding. Details in shadows were obscured somewhat, and the glossy screen reflects a lot of ambient light. Smart Hub lacks Amazon...

The Samsung UND8000 TV delivers best-in-class looks and features, but its picture quality--thanks to uneven screen uniformity--is ultimately not as good as that of many less expensive models.

"Unbelievable Clarity and Contrast!"

With me being an audio/video novice, I found little calibration was involved for the tv within home theatre setup. The Samsung TV's output is absolutely stunning if not impressive to my eyes, right out of the box. With the help of a friend, the tv was...

"Love it.. just an amazing tv. No flaws to this tv."

I compared with many other models for months and this TV was the best hands down. We've had dozens of people viewing and the common reaction is WOW !!!

Picture quality,design stunning even when its OFF,Felt the sound was good even before the Bose addition. We see no glare issue at all and have a nine window room, Have a ball with the Smart Hub feature.

None. We don't have a complaint about this product.

GOOD PICTURE WITH BLU-RAY, POOR PICTURE WITH CABLE TV

FOR $5000 I EXPECTED MUCH MOOR. I GET A BETTER PICTURE ON MY $1500 PLASMA TV

CABLE TV, THE PICTURE PIXELATE AND THE COLORS BRAKES, ESPECIALY DARK COLORS ; SOUND IS TINY

The Best LED! Even better than the 2012 ES8000

This LED is the best TV I ever bought, and had ever! I loved it so much that I bought 4 of them for different rooms at my place. The colors just pop on this TV. The picture is super clear and has inky black levels. I also bought the 2012 ES8000 when it...
