brilliant TV with flaws
Let me tell you first that I personally bought UN55C8000 2 weeks ago.
The movies I tried on the TV were:
Nemo (DVD format; 2D mode)
Legion (DVD format; 2D mode)
Aliens vs Monsters (3D mode)
Avatar (Blu-Ray format; 2D and converted to 3D mode)
I changed the playing format on the TV to “Dynamic” mode before playing Avatar. I swear the colors I saw in Cinemark theatre weren’t half as good as they look on this TV. Magnificent!! Awesome!!
I also tried to watch the same movie in 3D mode. The depth of the upconverted 3D mode was only partially good as compared to the actual 3D movie you would watch with 3D glasses. This TV lose one star because of this.
Another star was lost because of the poor double-edging (crosstalk of images) of the some of the scenes in the movie (Aliens vs Monsters) when you watch it in 3D mode. People say it happens occasionally, some people said “it is rare”. Let me tell you that it happens almost all the times when the background in the picture is dark and the object is bright and glowing in it. Example: The planet in the sky before it breaks or the calendar behind the guy who is laying with a ping-pong ball or the inside view of the church. 90% of the movie is bright so we don’t see double-edging 90% of the times.
God forbids, if we get “Lord of the Rings” in 3D format someday in future, you will see double-edging (or crosstalk) 60% of the time as the movie will have quite a dark scenes in it. I spoke with Samsung and the guy advised me to install the latest upgrade to the TV, which I did but it didn’t fix the issue.
And when I have spent the maximum dollars ($3000) for this technology, I don’t want to compromise with the quality of it.
I also played Nemo in 2D mode and the under-the-sea dark scenes had cloudy edges around the objects in it (such as Dory or Nemo’s dad).
One more thing: I tried to play the blu-ray movie from my laptop and hooked my laptop to the TV through the Denon receiver. The movie on TV looked normal whereas on laptop it is ultra sharp and clear. And I know it is not the Denon receiver. Anyway, this did not bother me as much as crosstalk issues while watching 3D content.
TV in 3D mode loses color if you take 2 steps to the right or left. So, it asks you to remain seated in Love Seat. If you sit on a chair besides you or another sofa on the side, you won’t see half the colors. But this is expected. “Angle Viewing” is usually narrow in LCDs as compared to Plasma. However, 2D mode has larger angle view than 3D. But then, you don’t dance around when you are watching 3D movies.
Other than this, the aesthetics are awesome!!
Honestly speaking, unless Samsung provides a solution to eliminate crosstalk/double-edging completely, this TV does not deserve more than 3 stars.

So Far, So Good–No, Great!
If you’re like me, you read several reviews to get a feel for the product. My two cents are to help those like me that were on the fence for about two months and then finally decided to pull the trigger. My first thing to do is to tell you what I upgraded from- a Panasonic 55″ HDTV rear projection (no hdmi ports) with a Panasonic progressive scan dvd player. My first impressions after a week of watching satellite tv, blue-ray dvd, and 3D is–WOW! I bought this tv, the 3D blue ray player, the starter kit (included in my purchase at no charge), a wireless adapter for the tv, and two hdmi cables. Purchased everything through Amazon rather than a retail store for (a) a better price by $350 over BB, and (b) to save the sales tax of over $200 to get a new entertainment shelf/bracket unit. First thing on my mind is if you get this setup get the hdmi cables because none are included with the tv or the blue ray player. I’m also glad I got the wireless adapter because it’s much cleaner and easier to access the internet content. The 3D content is what we’re all paying for so I’ll start with that. First, I’m glad that DirecTV includes four 3D channels at no charge, and the system recognizes the tv is able to run 3D so it adds the channels when you add them to your guide. Second, I find myself using the 3D effect for regular programming to give HD shows added depth and dimension. True 3D content is thin right now, but I’m getting great enjoyment watching Lord Of The Rings (my standard dvd extended versions)in 3D with the upconverter on the tv. True 3D content pops off the screen, and upconverted television programs and non-blue ray movies get a feeling of depth and background dimension. Regular HD picture is beautiful. The blue ray picture is incredible. As far as the internet apps, I use Netflix to stream movies and Pandora for music. The Netflix picture was not impressive but I had to upgrade my internet speed to get a better quality picture (not the TV’s fault). I was worried about having these items shipped but had no problems. The tv was delivered by a local shipper and was checked for damage and was powered up before they left. Everything programmed easily (no geek squad necessary), and tweaked settings to my personal preferences over the next few days. Everything is working flawlessly thusfar. Bottom line for me is if 3D becomes the next frontier of in-home entertainment, I am ready, and if 3D doesn’t pan out, I still have an HD tv with internet apps, beautiful picture and sound, and awesome blue ray viewing, with the added benefit of giving a 3D-like look to any movie or program. My suggestion is to read up on proper setup and optimal viewing distance, it will help you have a better experience.

It’s Ok
The good: Best black levels than other edge-lit sets, accurate color, with gray-scale linear, checks and photographs of many changes, elegant style with deep skirt inches; Amazing flow and content via the widget well-integrated application platform compatible 3D, 2D to 3D conversion system works better than expected. The bad: Extremely expensive; Thinking of uniformity, and not viewing angle, light black levels than the full range of local-to fading, while the blue shades of black, does not properly handle the contents 1080p/24, 3D pictures phantom exposed edges (crosstalk) are not includes 3D glasses, terrible remote. The Bottom Line: 3D is still a work in progress and 2D image quality reaches far the best available, but the high end of the series UNC8000 Samsung offers more features wonderfully strong performances and unique style.
