What is the power input for this TV – 110V or 110/220V
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought UN55C8000 on AMAZON.COM and send it to Georgia (not USA). There is a power 220 VOLT. Samsung live support specialists assure me, that I need to buy power converter from 220 to 110. But it’s not right. I open my LED TV and found that it works for 100~240 VOLT and 50~60 Hz. Now I plug it in 220 VOLT without any converter and it works great.
Despite the fact that on the back side there is a label (picture 1), that this TV works only for 110 VOLT, I CAN ASSURE EVERYBODY THAT THIS TV WORKS FOR 100~240 VOLT AND 50~60Hz!!! Look at pictures (Picture 4)!!! YOU CAN FIND MY PICTURES IN “CUSTOMER IMAGES”. THIS IS A WONDERFUL TV!!!
Don’t Buy This on Amazon
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I know, I know, I read the reviews about how bad the CEVA delivery has been, but I though I was different. Maybe because I’ve shopped on Amazon for so long with nary a missed delivery or incorrect item delivered. But this one got so screwed up, it made up for all of the other perfect deliveries. I’ll never again buy a large ticket item from Amazon.
The CEVA guys called to confirm the delivery day/time one day in advance, and when we spoke I told them they were delivering to a UPS store location (to a personal mailbox) and that they could deliver it anytime from 8am – 6:30pm the next day. It’s a UPS store – a place of business – someone is always there during business hours.
One day passes. No TV.
Two days pass. No TV.
Three days pass. No TV.
On the fourth day (the Friday before our Saturday move to our new home), I called CEVA to get the scoop, and they tried to tell me “no one was home” when they came to deliver the TV. Then I reminded them that it’s a UPS location, and someone’s always there during the days. The conversation changed pretty quickly, and she guaranteed it would be delivered next day (Saturday), in time for the movers to pick it up and bring it to the new house, in time for Comcast to connect it, and for the flat screen installers to do their work.
So the TV arrives today – and guess what they shipped me? The WRONG model. For $3500 and change, they sent us the LN55C650 – which costs half the price of the 8000.
I called CEVA, and they said I had to call Amazon. I called Amazon, and they said I had to call a company or group called “Hardline” – which I did, and they told me they were so sorry for the mixup, would schedule the old TV to be picked up from the UPS location early this coming week, and would get the 8000 series tv shipped out asap this week (confirming on the phone that it is in stock). Flustered, frustrated, but aware that there was nothing more I could do, I agreed and tried to move on. Cancelled all of the installers.
But this saga isn’t over yet.
Two hours *later* – I get an email telling me “oops, so sorry – the arrangement we made over the phone isn’t possible – you’ll be getting a refund sometime soon and can order your new tv from amazon anytime you wish.”
What?
So now, not only is the tv I ordered NOT going to be “on its way” to me this week, but now I have some vague promise of a refund coming “soon” – so I have no TV, and no credit back to my credit card to go buy it elsewhere???
So, I called Amazon back, and they said that yes indeed, although the 8000 is in stock, they aren’t sure why they (Hardline) weren’t going to send it to me, and that the “plan” was to refund the money, but she couldn’t tell me why or when. And, Hardline was closed for the day. She politely suggested I call them tomorrow to get confirmation of… at this point, I don’t know what.
What I can confirm is that two weeks ago, I dropped $3500 for the 8000, got delivered the 650 (half the price), and upon notifying Amazon of the discrepancy, have been told that I won’t get the tv I bought and that “sometime” I will get a refund. With zero explanation as to why.
We’ll now be spending the first (who knows how many) weeks in our new home without our new television, and without $3500 to buy another.
I really wish I had heeded the warnings about buying this TV through Amazon.
AMAZING TV AND 3D!!!! WOW!!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This 3D TV is just amazing. It is actually much better than what I expected. The picture quality is definitely better than I ever expected. The 3d is very cool and so life like. Some reviews mentioned some double images but I barely noticed any and think it is a non issue. To pay the extra money for the 3d TV as compared with the standard model I think is a non brainer to just get the 3D TV. I also bought the 3d surround sound which is really cool too. I think anyone will love the TV for many years and you may as well get the best out there rather than buying a TV that will soon be obsolete.
Excellent Picture Quality, Love Slim Design

My model is un55c8000xf built in Mexico. This set has excellent picture quality. I first went to best buy for price match but ended up buying my set a Brandsmart, they gave me the better deal at the end. Ive had the set now for 2 weeks and no issues what so ever. The only issue I had was with jutter on fast movie scenes , but it was a wrong setting. Once I set the tv to clear in motion it all went away. After months of research and tv trials, I dont think their is a better set out in the market right now. I did buy high end HDMI cables and that also made a big difference in picture quality…
Buy it; you will love it

Paired w/Samsung Blue-Ray & a Home Theater Receiver. “Samsung” set-up flawless. Internet TV “5″; 3D “3″
Used Sanus 18″ telescoping bracket mounted inside a large wall recess behind TV with internet, cable, and 120v power. Thin TV appears to be hanging like a picture. We installed 2″ plastic corrugated tubing from recess to built-in cabinets below for wire hook-up to blue-ray, home theater, and cable boxes. When all said & done, pricey, but amazing finished look and function.
TV set-up exceeded expectation. Internet TV self-loaded all popular sites (Netflix, YouTube, etc.). Navigation intuitive. Download streaming of movies no issues (Time Warner). Did not try wireless internet because wired access was not difficult here. Even self-proclaimed TV “expert” friends are surprised especially by white/black contrast. Sound quality from TV speakers also an unexpected highlight. We don’t even have Home Theater speakers on for “everyday” news/most sports watching.
As for 3-D, free starter kit (2 goggles & one movie) takes sting out of purchase. Still a bit of a novelty but effects are amazing. At least glasses are comfortable (even over reading glasses) for length of movie. Need more on-line 3D content. Sports would be perfect.
3D feature may have added ($400ish?) value, but it’s a stretch to call it a good value at this time.
In summary, TV function is as good as it gets.
Best TV Ever!!!!

I was going to purchase C7000 first but then I saw C8000 at the local Fry’s Electronics and you can really see the difference between these TV sets. C8000 has perfect blacks and no annoying lights in the corners like C7000. I owned 42′ Sony DLP (720p) and you can’t even compare those two sets. I paired my c8000 with the Onkyo HT-S3300 Home Theater System and I don’t think I would go to the movie theater anytime soon
Bad picture quality and many problems in the TV
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GYA1XKK4CB6X I will give zero stars to the TV but there is no option to do that.
Do not buy this TV. This doesn’t work as advertised. All your $3000 will be wasted.
The attached video shows the state of the TV before calling the samsung service support. The TV acts on its own as if it is haunted or something… Look at how it changes the source and the menu screen pops up every now and then…… Even after fixing this the problem still persisted as seen on another video posted by me. The remote control also doesnt work and respond during this time.
The second video shows the state after fixing the problem which worsened the picture quality and the remote problem was still not fixed. The second video is available at [...]
Great TV, Wonderful Customer Service
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this to replace my 60″ Sony A2000, which had suffered an optical block failure. Although I thought the A2000 was great (before it died), the Samsung C8000 beats it in every way imaginable. Most impressive is the black level–once you dial in good settings, blacks are *black*, while contrast and picture detail are retained. (Even out of the box, the picture quality is great, but once a few key adjustments are made, it’s simply stunning.)
Another nice touch is the 240Hz “custom” option, which allows you to separate motion blur reduction from dejudder. By cranking up motion blur reduction to 9 or 10, and by leaving dejudder at 0 or 1, the C8000 will produce very smooth, plasma-like motion, while avoiding the “soap-opera” effect that many LCD TVs’ 120Hz/240Hz solutions produce.
Finally, a word about Amazon customer service. As much as I loved my TV, when I removed the protective film, I found an unsightly dent in the bezel. I contacted Amazon, and they immediately offered to send a new one and pickup the old one, with no return shipping charge to me. It’s great to see when a retailer matches a high-quality product with high-quality customer service.

Hi I am not professional electronics expert but I do lot research in reviewing electronic gadgets.. I am so impressed with Samsung UN55C8000 ,its amazing and impressive TV I ever watched so far.. I did wait for this TV for long time and this is my first LCD/LED.. worth waiting, excellent design, amazing 3D but 3D emitter had problems when I got TV first time from AMAZON …So I think Samsung has to tough QA check. I called Samsung support &they figured out its a 3D emitter issue.Samsung assigned ticket to local authorized Samsung Service center ( Contractor).. the guy who came to my house for service was no experience on these TVS and he did some thing to fix 3D emitter with out knowledge…and funny part is he changed main-board to fix emitter.. TV ran for 4 hrs fine & all of sudden TV made a sound switched off.Then I asked AMAZON to replace TV ..big pain…AMAZON Agent sent me an email saying they are not able to replace TV due to technical issue in AMAZON replacement system.. the asked me to return TV and I will be getting Advanced refund…its pain…I had wasted 20+ days almost in this process.. got frustrated , instead AMAZON look for alternative way for faster replacement of product.. they just gave pain to customer.. after spending $3100 I was expecting my Memorial Day long weekend fun with this TV..but AMAZON screwed up replacement system ruined every thing..So I recommend please think twice prior to order big items via Amazon…
Wow

I went to Best buy to get a printer and left with this. I just looked at it and heard angels singing. This is the most beautiful TV I have ever seen. The 3d is a blast and I can’t wait for more 3d content.
