Should be cheaper for the quality of the TV
big cloud issue when play dark movies.
Internet is kinda useless. The Blu-ray player can do this work as well.
The corners have some light leaking issues

Epic TV
ok so this tv is the best tv ive ever seen in my life..... im sure that a hardcore tv nut might have something different to say but so far i can find no fault with the tv i gave it 3 stars for sound because i havent used the sound as i have surround sound i bought this tv "Used" from amazon and it was brand new when i got it it still have the plastic sticky stuff on the edges and it looked absolutly pristine i wont need another tv for years to come thank you samsung

Bad Service and internet
Although the main feature of the Samsung 3D TV, the 3D, is very good; its INTERNET@TV is useless. This feature was to be for connecting to Facebook, Picasa, Skype, Net Flex etc. Each of these services requests you to enter a password. Although difficult with the ten key input, the intent was that you do it only once was OK. The problem is that they upgrade the TV's software at least weekly as it is a new product. When they do this they remove all of the existing computer type date and put in new - that includes all the password data you may have installed. Your passwords are lost and you must start over. Their telephone staff is very courteous. They say thing like "I can understand your frustration," "understand the difficulty in reenter data," "is their anything else we can do for you today" etc. But they can not solve the problem. It a computer type programing thing. Their forwarding calls to tear 2 help resulted in two dropped calls and two calls not returned. The customer service is courtesy but no service provided. If you must buy these TVs, get them a COSTCO, they will refund your money, SAMSUNG will not; nor will they fix this defect.

It's a good TV, sound not so - Amazon was WONDERFUL!
I like the Samsung in general. The sound quality is not great - no room for room-facing speakers. I haven't used all the features yet (like the 3d), just got it installed - which was not easy. The screen really should NOT be touched. Even your fingertip will leave a mark and the cleaner sold at Frye's in Auburn, WA was .00. Samsung recommends water only, but I have a friend who damaged a flat screen trying to clean it, so be careful. I can't get the remote working well, sometimes the TV comes on and not the cable and vice versa. There must be a fix for that, but I don't know about it yet. We have some tiling in the picture every time we watch. We are shopping for a sound bar. This was our first big purchase through Amazon and the process and service was flawless. I would recommend Amazon to anyone and not just for books. We will be buying a sound bar from Amazon. Love them.

Great TV for price
Excellent TV especially for the sale price and promotioal offers that came with it. You will not be disappointed.

too many problems
I had to return the first two sets due to different problems and the third was the worst one yet,
It had bad clouding and screen uniformity issues so I finally gave up and bought a Sony XBR8.........it cost a small fortune but the PQ is vastly superior to the Samsung

vkd
I purchased UN55B8000 on Feb 14th, 2010 after my old Samsumg DLP HDTV stopped working after 5 years. The life of these HDTVs is lot shorter than that of old CRT TVs. Anyway, the picture quality is good, it depends on so many factors, whether it is 1080 or 720, compressed or uncompressed, TV channel, etc. I saw the best quality of picture while watch news (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc) over the antenna which transmits at 1080i, uncompressed. While watching Dish TVs 720p, compressed transmission, I could see the degradation of the picture quality. Sound is very bad, it hurs my ears, should definetly have external speakers. While watching dark scenes, you might see some light throwing off from sides, but it is not a deal breaker, never bothered me so far, it is minimal. Hooked up internet the very same day I purchased the TV, but didn't use it much since then, primary reason being the widgets are very slow, very bad user interface. The 240MHZ didn't help me much as I could still see blurry image for fast moving objects, I was told that it is not just sufficient for you HDTV to support 240 MHZ, even the transmission should be 240MHZ (even your HDMI cable should support it). When I visit my friends house and see their old HDTVs, I realize that my HDTV's picture quality is better than theirs.

Great TV
I saw this tv in a store lined up next to several others from across the room. In comparison, the un55b8000 had a clearer picture. After installling mine, I did see the cloudy lights in darker scenes, however, that was easily fixed with some fine tuning in the picture menu. I love this tv.

GLAD I WAITED!!!
I am so glad i waited long enough to buy this TV. I have wanted to buy a Samsung TV since the series 6 Touch of red but kept pushing it forward as a new always came out just before i made up my mind.
I finally bought 5 March, 2010 when the C series was released and the price crashed to 96.98. I got the last one available on that day. The picture is so clear it hurts the eyes, takes some getting used to.
The speakers are not the best, so one needs to buy external speakers to be able to really enjoy the sound, but picture wise it is spot on.
Glad i waited!!!

Amazing TV
I've been wanted to buy this new TV for over a year. Now that I have it (June 2010) I can't get enough of it. The clarity and color is staggering. At first my wife said it almost hurt her eyes as it was so clear. Now she's used to it and can't believe the picture quality either. This TV especially watching a Blu Ray movie is breath taking. I took it right out of the box and only changed one setting for the color to Dynamic instead of Standard. It did make a difference in picture quality otherwise I've done no tweaking. I can't imagine a better TV. I'm extremely happy with this purchase through Amazon.com.
