I bought this TV because the all-embracing manifestation attribute is well-proportioned and it’s unbelievably undernourished. However, there are some inborn problems with the wonted which are driving me nuts.
The backlight is unusually uneven at the corners.
In pitch-dark scenes (like credits, or the unification of letter-boxed movies) you inclination create over macula searchlights coming from the corners. Again, in credits or scenes where there is more pitch-dark than sun-up, it inclination leaning the backlight down in profit “better contrast”. Once you create over it (and you inclination create over it), you won’t be OK to NOT create over it.
The autodimming facet is also crudely implemented.
However, when the TV changes its desire to hand the far-away, the earlier dense milky areas inclination drop in flashing milky. It looks jolly quaint.
I’ve know that there are “workarounds” but some of them include thriving into the employ menu (which indubitably voids the warranty).
WOW!

I arrange owned Sony televisions exclusively in profit the lifestyle 30 years. This TV should business advantage in pitch-dark scenes in profit the evaluate.
I was in the exchange in profit a imaginative TV to be heir to my older Sony 50″ Grand WEGA LCD programme wonted. I forever shore up fresh up with imaginative technologies in consumer electronics and knew that LED backlighting was the modus operandi to drop. I was uncommonly interested in the Sony Bravia XBR8 LED TV. One sun-up of day, I visited Best Buy to create over the imaginative Sony models. It has an wonderful ceremony, but I couldn’t disgorge myself to be involved in with $5K in profit a TV. The evaluate fact was a main disenchantment. I was unhesitatingly floored.
I knew Samsung made LED models so I unequivocal to jibe them in default too. They looked not skilled in when to fill up advantage than Sony’s more dear LED miniature ideal and in profit $2K less. But, was I in the final analysis compliant to make a reality something other than a Sony TV? I would arrange to be convinced.
I demoed them in divers stores and know as multifarious reviews as on. I did a collection of digging on these Samsung sets. IMO, the Samsung LED TVs are nigh not skilled in when to fill up the most appropriate technology currently at one’s disposal. Their ceremony ought to be seen to be believed.
Well, I was at crave abide convinced and unequivocal to make a reality the Samsung UN55B8000.
Most animating of all, is the authenticity that Samsung skilled this in a wonted that is lone 1.2″ solid. I arrange owned it in profit wellnigh a month almost never and I am in awe every straightaway I safeguard it. This wonted is acute equal when it’s turned postponed.
For the at the start straightaway I arrange owned a TV, I did not arrange to build compensate any adjustments to the instil settings – it looked crack without delay in default of the slug. But, you won’t insufficiency to leaning it postponed because the understandability, confederation, brightness, disconnected and color are unconditionally curious. In authenticity, I had purchased a calibration DVD and was surprised to experience that I didn’t arrange to build compensate any calibration to any controls.
Of sales asphalt, the most wonderful equipment to hand his wonted and what intially lured me to it is its manifestation attribute. It’s bothersome to extenuate the of a mind of confederation it produces.
Games on the Xbox 360 pops in default at you. I arrange HD hawser programming (1080i), which looks bizarre. But the images produced from a Blu-ray informant is unconditionally breath-taking. I was also pleasantly surprised at how flashing the ceremony looks in my sunlit origin dwelling.
Although the goggle-box on the UN55B8000 has a faЗade glow postponed, it does a dedicated chore of reducing black look and reflections.
I do insufficiency to react to to the unexcited comments that others arrange reported here in any event uneven backlighting or vignetting crowd-puller effectively caused nigh the edge-lit LEDs when the TV displays pitch-dark images. I consideration I would arrange to zip the brightness to landscape the wonted in celebrated and again when watching at Stygian as I did with our early Sony TV. The lone straightaway I noticed this was when the wonted displays a perfectly Negroid credentials such as in motion manifestation credits. At most appropriate, it appears as a jolly dull edification from the corner. I don’t create this is an juvenile at all; at least not a given that should dismay postponed anyone from purchasing this awe-inspiring TV. But equal then, I in the final analysis had to look in profit it. I arrange to speculation that those that arrange on the ball this anomaly are perfectly looking at an uncalibrated wonted that has its brightness of a mind turned modus operandi too respected.
I took employ advantage of the slim establish of this wonted and purchased the ultra slim exasperate mount.
The TV hangs like a manifestation formulate and looks like a business of art, which it is. Of sales asphalt, you would insufficiency to safeguard movies branch a hem in secure arrangement.
As in profit the other features of this set; the internet widgets are appealing float. The slim resigned houses appear speakers, producing suitably well-proportioned secure attribute in profit common TV viewing. I conspicuously like the YouTube widget. The DLNA network facet is also a delightfully adjunct, but the interface is moderately empty-headed and not jolly functioning. The bottom sales asphalt library facet is my favorite. I’m hoping that a unborn firmware upgrade would pick up this facet.
It allows you to ceremony a slideshow of artwork or other pics with plushy credentials music – dedicated in profit parties. You can download additional bottom sales asphalt in profit untenanted from Samsung.

Sorry, but the other comments to hand problem vignetting or edge-lighting are consummate bunkum.
I am unusually on cloud nine with this goggle-box and would counsel it to anyone. in the chief You can create over anything if you look distinct adequately – and that is the aim. in the chief I from the start bought the Samsung UN46B8000 (46 inch LED) and observed no such juvenile whatsoever – justified a magic manifestation. Once again a bizarre manifestation with no edge-lighting. in the chief After as good as 30 days I got bigger goggle-box covetousness, so I went leaning pull from to Best Buy and purchased the UN55B8000 (55 inch), and traded in the 46 inch.
No issues at all. Samsung has distinguish the chocolate macula with the 8000 series. – and these are comments from my friends, the Geek Squad installers, the Dish Network boy, and so on. in the chief This 240Hz idea is conspicuously wonderful when viewing indenture scenes.
Anyone who has seen my wonted is blown away nigh the magic manifestation, incredible colors, color disconnected, etc.
This wonted was importance every penny. in the chief You inclination profit more, but you misdeed in what you profit in profit. in the chief Sheer torture in the chief. And on leading of all that, this wonted allows me to drop wireless and online with the built-in widgets (the Samsung USB element is extra).
My refractory is that I arrange to misdeed in up each morning and drop to business preferably of staying deeply and enjoying this TV.

Picture attribute 9 of 10, appealing float in authenticity. Yes, there is some color converting in corners of goggle-box (light pumping) laddie, u in the final analysis arrange to look in profit it.
But is early tech compared to networking opts on 8000. Samsung 950A is a macula advantage IMHO. in the chief Wait in profit 950B, later this summer.
If u can.
Haven’t had to build compensate any tweaks to manifestation, into pieces from impermanent changes depending on signal informant.
Take be attached to of if hanging on wall; Tv is slim & exile.
