1too many problems  Sep 06, 2010
I had to return the first two sets due to different problems and the third was the worst one yet,
It had bad clouding and screen uniformity issues so I finally gave up and bought a Sony XBR8.........it cost a small fortune but the PQ is vastly superior to the Samsung

4vkd  Jul 19, 2010
I purchased UN55B8000 on Feb 14th, 2010 after my old Samsumg DLP HDTV stopped working after 5 years. The life of these HDTVs is lot shorter than that of old CRT TVs. Anyway, the picture quality is good, it depends on so many factors, whether it is 1080 or 720, compressed or uncompressed, TV channel, etc. I saw the best quality of picture while watch news (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc) over the antenna which transmits at 1080i, uncompressed. While watching Dish TVs 720p, compressed transmission, I could see the degradation of the picture quality. Sound is very bad, it hurs my ears, should definetly have external speakers. While watching dark scenes, you might see some light throwing off from sides, but it is not a deal breaker, never bothered me so far, it is minimal. Hooked up internet the very same day I purchased the TV, but didn't use it much since then, primary reason being the widgets are very slow, very bad user interface. The 240MHZ didn't help me much as I could still see blurry image for fast moving objects, I was told that it is not just sufficient for you HDTV to support 240 MHZ, even the transmission should be 240MHZ (even your HDMI cable should support it). When I visit my friends house and see their old HDTVs, I realize that my HDTV's picture quality is better than theirs.

5Great TV  Jul 18, 2010
I saw this tv in a store lined up next to several others from across the room. In comparison, the un55b8000 had a clearer picture. After installling mine, I did see the cloudy lights in darker scenes, however, that was easily fixed with some fine tuning in the picture menu. I love this tv.

5GLAD I WAITED!!!  Jul 13, 2010
I am so glad i waited long enough to buy this TV. I have wanted to buy a Samsung TV since the series 6 Touch of red but kept pushing it forward as a new always came out just before i made up my mind.
I finally bought 5 March, 2010 when the C series was released and the price crashed to $2096.98. I got the last one available on that day. The picture is so clear it hurts the eyes, takes some getting used to.
The speakers are not the best, so one needs to buy external speakers to be able to really enjoy the sound, but picture wise it is spot on.
Glad i waited!!!

5Amazing TV  Jul 11, 2010
I've been wanted to buy this new TV for over a year. Now that I have it (June 2010) I can't get enough of it. The clarity and color is staggering. At first my wife said it almost hurt her eyes as it was so clear. Now she's used to it and can't believe the picture quality either. This TV especially watching a Blu Ray movie is breath taking. I took it right out of the box and only changed one setting for the color to Dynamic instead of Standard. It did make a difference in picture quality otherwise I've done no tweaking. I can't imagine a better TV. I'm extremely happy with this purchase through Amazon.com.
