“I have to echo Bearcat’s rating as he is very thorough and accurate, but I want to throw my 2 cents in. When coupled with Samsung’s own super-slim wall mount, which is just a glorified cable hanging on two sturdy disks, the TV sits amazingly close to the wall. Another neat feature that I found hard to believe–When watching movies from an external hard drive, the TV can read a large variety of video CODECs. It can read MP4, AVI, WMV, and MPG files. I’m not sure about the Audio support, but I haven’t had any luck finding a movie file that I have that won’t play right off an external USB hard drive. The TV also has about 1GB of internal storage to keep files on.
All the Widgits are slow, but they are sill usable with the exception of the Video-based widgets, which I find way too slow to load to be of any use. I’d rather power up my computer if I’m going to be doing any internet-based activities.
Of course, I’d be remiss not to mention how amazed I am with the picture quality. I’m upgrading from a 55″ CRT-based TV, and watching this TV, for me, is like watching TV for the first time. The major selling point on this TV over Samsung’s similar 55″ offerings is the local-dimming feature. Many HDTV’s I’ve seen over the years simply adjust the entire backlight to achieve deeper blacks and brighter whites, but they simply can’t do both at the same time. It is very distracting for me to watch the backlight on those TV’s ratchet up and down while watching a scene with a varying brightness. This is where the local dimming feature comes in. This TV can do both brights and darks, at the same time! I have waited for many years to find an TV that isn’t distracting to watch. My wait was over with the release of the Sony XBR8, but it wasn’t as affordable as I’d like. Once I saw the crisp visual quality of the Samsung 8000 series, and read of the local dimming feature of the 8500, I was sold on this TV and I ordered it without even sampling the picture. I could not be happier.”
“I am a proud owner of this bad boy and I am so glad I waited 3 years to buy a new TV. I have watched Planet Earth on Blu-Ray and it looks georgeous. Playing video games looks really great too, Uncharted 2 looked amazing on this set. I still have yet to find the best settings for picture quality but the one I got from Cnet works just fine. I highly recomend this set for the price being offered isn’t too bad.”
“Purchased this TV after long debating with the XBR10 and I am glad i chose the Samsung with the slim mounting it is definitely looks like a painting on the wall.
Now just turn on your blu ray and you what you paid for true HD vivid experience.
The screen comes in a glossy finish so it kind of reflects everything when there’s Light….
The widgets feature Lacks the Amazon on demand service (on amazon web site it says “Amazon Video On Demand is temporarily not available on Samsung”)I hope that they Will fix it soon .
Accompanying this TV are Martin Logan speakers Denon receiver and A PS3 I’ll post some Pics. You cant go wrong with this TV In one word AMAZING.”
