Samsung UN55C8000 Testimonials

WOW, our whole family is very impressed with this TV. The clarity & the colors are really fantastic. We are extremely happy with our purchase. The set up was easy. We were up and running within an hour. We also purchased a TV stand with mount, Samsung 3D Blue Ray, and Logitech Harmony One remote and hooked it all up to our previously purchased Onkyo 7.1 surround receiver. 1st movie we watched in HD was Avatar (on Charter cable)(have not watched anything yet in 3d). AGAIN WOW, I am king of the house. It took several months of research, shopping & comparing all the models. Was really torn about purchasing now when the 480 hz is coming out soon but eventually convinced myself after seeing a side by side comparison between the 240 hz and the 480 hz. I could not see any difference except the price. Also looked really hard at the Sony and LG models but the Samsung stood out well above the rest.

I am very pleased with Amazon (this is not my 1st purchase with them). Pricing is excellent, free shipping is even better and when I did need service (in the past) it was handled quickly, professionally and best of all it was handled right. AGAIN WOW!

I really took quite a while researching tvs, going to stores looking at the picture quality, reading tons and tons of web sites and I have to say, for the money, there is no better tv out there at the moment. But like all things electronic, the moment is fleeting. If you have aprox 2 grand and want the best. This is it..

My wife and I had just finished building a recreation/craft room in our basement and wanted a 55" TV as part of the entertainment center. Our internet researched led us to the Samsung UN55C8000 but we didn't want to pay more than $2,100.00 so we waited several months for the price to come down.

When the TV arrived we mounted it on the wall, attached it to Directv, set up the home theater system and the PS3 and began to enjoy a wide arrange of programming and entertainment. The TV fits the room well, is very attractive and extremely thin. The picture is clear and stunning. One of the first movies we watch was Top Gun and it was incredible to see things appear in the movie we had not seen before - such as the individual water droplets dance off the carrier deck when the planes were taking off. We have not tried the 3d experience yet so we cannot comment on that feature. We are very happy that we found the TV we wanted.
