5 Stars Closest to True 3d Experience
This Samsung LED is the best picture experience I have seen. I purchased via Amazon.com to replace a Pioneer Professional Plasma Display in my living room. The nice thing about the Samsung LED is it even makes HD movies on HBO, Showtime etc…appear to have depth [3d-like experience]. Even watching NFL the experience is impressive as there is a very smooth picture with incredible clarity–will be even better when more shows are broadcast in 1080p vs 1080i. I have a Samsung Blu-Ray player via HDMI connection and am even more amazed with the quality of the picture as it takes it to the “next level”. The free shipping option was good and arrived within a week of purchase.
As far as connections go, I purchased two separate 25′ HDMI cables via Amazon and can confirm the quality is true 1080p with no picture/signal loss and had an ethernet cable ran to the tv for the Yahoo widgets and DLNA access. I was a bit hesitant about purchasing the TV as it is mounted above my fireplace and received a quote from a home theater installer to “bury” the cables in the wall for over $600. After calling my licensed electrician who wired the house, the total was $130 to move an electric outlet, run two HDMI Cables and Ethernet cable plus an additional fee for drywall finishing/repair after he was finished. I also purchased the Samsung slim wall mount and the electrician recessed the outlet on the stud for a totally flush/seamless mount.
Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase.

4 Stars a good buy…some bugs though.
I bought the 8000 series LED after much research and have been very happy with it. I just wanted to add that while it is an awesome tv it still has some bugs that should be tweeked in the next generation of Samsung. First, I noticed a “dim” or dark area in the center, at both top and bottom of the screen. It is hardly noticable during most viewing but it is there nonetheless. Second, the volume doesn’t seem consitant. During some movies I will have to frequently adjust the volume up and down. Third and last, the audio doesn’t want to play in sync with any stereo/home theatre setup I attach to it. There is a split second echo effect that makes the audio irritating to listen to. Best to do without it for now. As for picture quality, it is fantastic…especially with Blu-ray. movies like Underworld and Hellboy II are the ones I like to show off for guests. For you gamers, I have an Xbox 360 hooked to it and am very pleased with the quality. I even took advantage of the PC hookup and played World of Warcraft on it and was happy with how that looked. I think once I get the audio problems worked out I will be content. I recommend this to anyone…well, anyone who can afford it.
