This TV is simply amazing. 55 inch of heaven
I was able to set it up within 10 min. The PIP feature was the x-factor. I was able to plug in the HDMI and CATV cable into the TV from the cable set-top box. Afterwards, I plugged in my PS3. I switched to HDMI 2 source and turn on the PIP. Voila! I can watch TV and play video games at the same time. Not only can I play video games, I can switch the sound to the TV channel too. I haven't played around with the 3 size options of the PIP or the placement yet. People might say the picture might be too small but my old TV was only 27 inchs.
FYI, my delivery service was poor. But that doesn't take away from the TV. He was over 2 hrs late and he didn't want to help setup the tv even though it was suppose to be white glove service.
HDTV UN55B8000 - VERY Good Bang for My Buck
I got this to replace a 52" Mits DLP. What a HUGE quality improvement! Read other people's reviews for all the detailed info. As far as people saying the back lighting around the edges is a problem... I just backed off that setting a little and it's not a problem at all to me. The remote control is back lit and has a motion sensor (or something) in it so that it lights up automatically when you pick up the remote... why don't ALL remotes work like that! It swivels side to side, so if you are sitting off center, you can easily position it to directly face you.
I added a Yamaha YAS-71BL Front Surround System (sound bar & sub woofer - $279.99 from Amazon) to enrich the sound quality and an OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc Player ($499.99 from Amazon) and am XTREMLY pleased. Overall, it is a VERY good bang for my buck.
HDTV UN55B8000 - Samsung 55" 8000 Great TV
I had no problems at all with the set up, color, corner white problems etc. I did look at many reviews about Samsung 6000, 7000 & 8000 that talked about so many different issues both negative and positive. If you are not a super tech person but someone that just wants a quality picture you will not be disappointed. Best picture I have seen, I am sure Sony or Pioneer has one just as nice. I just thought the picture quality was the best option for me. I do have it connected to Direct Tv. Purchased through Amazon with the free financing which in all honesty should be 24 months not 36 months.
You know I would have bought it anyway with 24 month free financing, I still can not see how you get 36 month free financing. Other then that I am happy with the delivery company they used and the financing I received. You should talk to your marketing department about highlighting the 24 month free financing. If for some strange reason your customer receives 36 months free the customer would be happy Vs wondering what they missed. It also hooked up very quickly to our internet using the wireless add on. Great TV, best price, great delivery and the best financing I could find!
