We researched extensively before replacing our 10 year old set. We knew we wanted backlit LCD rather than Plasma and we wanted to go bigger. We looked at many sets but settled on the Samsung UN55ES7200 and UN55F8000. Based upon the reviews there were some issues with the ES8000, which was an early generation of Samsung smart tvs. While that set is meaningfully less expensive we are glad we went with the F8000 released in 2013. The picture is incredibly crisp and, despite its size the set is slim and light weight. The clicker has a touch pad feature and the connections with the internet, HBO, Amazon, Netflix are very easy (even for a non-technically savvy person like me).
It connected easily (although it was missing 2 screws which Samsung sent out very quickly) so set up time was nominal. There have been no resolution or lighting issues (as have been described in the ES8000). I have only one constructive comment, the resolution is so very good that you can sometimes see the artificial nature of the movie sets in older movies. If that is the only problem we encounter I believe that is something that can be overlooked. We are really pleased with the purchase and, as always, Amazon delivery was fast and convenient.
Excellent tv. Picture is fantastic! Gives you a completely different movie and tv viewing experience-much more vivid & detailed
TV does so many things that you must be a little tech savvy to really enjoy the full spectrum of what this product has to offer. If you want a simple basic tv this one is not for you. However if you are into the newest technologies or have the patience to learn, this tv does is unrivaled. It does come with a huge drawback..its offered at an insanely high price, so if you can wait until it drops a little in price it will be a wise decision- I myself had to have it.
Perfect!!
I must inform you that I’m not an audiophile nor do I spend more than an hour a day watching TV. However, after getting this Samsung I am simply blown away by the picture. It is amazing!! Even my friends who are really into their TV’s have commented on how absolutely fantastic it is. Delivery was awesome too!!
Great TV! I love it Picture is great out of the box
I have no complaints, this TV does it all. The picture is great out of the box, I have not had a professional come in and adjust it, I don’t see the need for this, I know alot of people complain about the picture out of the box but I have found it to be just great.
The smart functions are great. I watch more internet TV on it then I do cable. I use HBO go on it, Youtube, Netflix, Amazon prime video, Hulu, it all works great
There are so many features ! the 3D function works great, but I don’t think it should be the reason to buy the set, infact if you’re not interested in the smart TV functions you could save some money and buy a less expensive TV, but it you are a geeky person like me you will love all the Smart function that come with the TV and they is the real reason I purchased the set.
I have it hooked to my Apple Air router by a CAT6 Flat cable and it have a 50 Megabit internet connection for it. So the functions the use the internet are really just seemless.
Switching between functions if very fast, with the faster processor of this model really makes a difference from the previous models.
