Samsung UN55F8000 55 Inch 1080p 240Hz Reviews :
You simply cannot be disappointed by this Samsung television.
The SmartTV is awesome with built-in apps for many things and many networks like Amazon Prime, NetFlix and HuLu.
Honestly, there’s no need to dwell on the apps because the real life changing feature is the picture quality and size. The rest is just frosting.
In a word, superb!
Fantastic TV! 3D works with Plex!!
I bought this TV at Best Buy open box and am extremely happy with my purchase. I’m coming from a 1080p Epson Projector that projected on to a 100″ screen. I had decided that I wanted to try the newer LED tv’s out since we were moving anyway and did not want to bring the projector with us to our new home.
I primarily looked at two TV models when I was looking in to TV’s, the Samsung UN60F8000 and the LG 55GA7900. I actually bought and tested both of the TV’s out. Below is a short Pros/Cons review and conclusion on both TV’s.
LG 55GA7900
————————-
Pros
– Price… much cheaper than the F8000
– Google TV integration for Apps (apps to enable airplay/etc)
– Decent picture quality
– Awesome remote
Cons
– No ARC capability for HDMI audio passthrough
– Plex app does not play 3D SBS files
– Not all apps in google play store are available
– Google TV interface for Tivo integration not the best
Samsung UN60F8000
————————-
Pros
– Awesome picture quality
– Innovative, if somewhat limited, remote (would like more dedicated buttons and a QWERTY keyboard
– ARC capability!!! Can use single HDMI cable to pass 5.1DD and DTS audio back to receiver from apps like Plex, Amazon Instant Video, and Netflix
– Built in Skype and camera
– Built in Plex app supports 3D SBS files natively!!!
Cons
– Limited app selection (though the essential apps are there – Plex, Skype Amazon Instant Video, Netflix)
– Price… would have liked it to be a few hundred cheaper
– ARC setup is not intuitive and there is limited documentation on how to get it set up
CONCLUSION
————————-
After testing both TV’s I ended up keeping the Samsung UN60F8000. Although I was impressed with many of the bells and whistles that the GA7900 provided, I ultimately did not find many of the features to be useful and I found many of the apps were a little buggy and the interface was not entirely intuitive. I really only use my TV to do 2 things… watch TV and watch movies from Amazon/Netflix/Plex. Everything else is really unnecessary for me as I find that browsing the internet and things like that are better suited for a tablet or laptop. Overall, the F8000 seemed like a better TV for my purposes, plus I really like that I can use HDMI ARC to send 5.1 and DTS signals to my receiver when watching movies through netflix/amazon or Plex. The final plus for me with the F8000 is that the Plex app is much better IMO than on the GA7900. The plex app on the Samsung F8000 comes pre-installed and can play 3D movies natively whereas the GA7900 using the plex app could not play the same 3D movie. I couldn’t be happier with my TV choice… if you use plex and need HDMI ARC the F8000 seemed to be one of the few TV’s that could actually send 5.1 and DTS signals over the ARC interface. 5 Stars!!!
