Wow! Incredible TV
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this TV along with the Samsung 3d Bluray player, the starter kit, and an Onkyo S3300 HTB 3D Compatible Home Theater System. I am pretty picky about picture quality and was skeptical that the TV would look as good as the 7000 did in a nearby store. I must admit I have been thoroughly impressed. The fact the TV uses very little energy compared to peer sets is great and that it is very thin is nice too. It has internet conectivity and lots of widgets that I have not used much but look fun.
The picture on this TV is simply the best I have ever seen! Even my wife who doesn’t usually see the difference in TVs-was blown away. We compared it to the plasmas and other LCDs and it was the clear winner. I purchased from Amazon with no issues. Great price and great value. Buy it!
A Very Satisfied Owner

I’ve been a HDTV early adopter since Samsung sold their first generation DLP sets. I think I paid $4500 for a 43″ back then. Up until now, the eight or so HDTVs purchased in between have been incrementally better than the previous ones. The last one, a Panasonic 42″ 1080P plasma, had a good picture but could also heat the family room. The UN46C8000 is a huge leap in picture quality and runs at only 92 watts.
Watching Avatar in 1080P was awesome and the first night scene in the movie convinced everyone in the family that we needed another new HDTV!
I didn’t buy this set for the 3D technology. 3D will improve in a few years and content needs to be more abundant and affordable. 2D quality was what I was interested in.
I’m not a fan of the sleek remote. Although the control is backlit, you need to press a spot on the upper right corner to turn on. I like remotes that you shake to see in the dark. I’m thinking of buying the rmc30c2 remote when it comes out. I read that video on the remote screen won’t work like on the 9000 series, but that’s not an issue with me.
I highly recommend this LED HDTV. Amazon, your price rocks!
ITS A BEAUTIFUL TV

Truely breath taking picture quality
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Being an electronics buff, I hold a high standard to quality. This Samsung UN46C8000 is amazing. Picture quality is the best I have ever seen. From the quality remote to the stand this television is the set for you. After it was programmed and user preferences were set, the first HD channel was a golf tournament on Golf Channel HD. Truely breath taking!!! My other HD sets are Plasma ranging from 58 to 32 inches. This is the first LED television I have owned. Being one inch thick, weighing in at 55 lbs it was very easy to handle. The picture quality on non 3D broadcast makes it look like a modified 3D. I have never seen anything like it. My wife who could not care the least about technology, was very impressed with the picture quality.
Amazon made the purchasing experience painless with no sales tax and inside delivery. The delivery staff unbox your television, plug it in to make sure it works and are friendly to boot. Last but not least, you will be very impressed. I am very impressed with this next generation of quality. Samsung you definitely got this one right!!!!
Update:
All of the above comments are still true. I have watched my first 3D movie with the glasses and everything worked perfectly. 3D makes movie watching a whole different experience. Only one major problem…Other than the 3D movie that came with the free Samsung glasses, there are no other choices to purchase. 3D Blu-ray technology has not caught up with the 3D televisions. ESPN 3D debuts in June on Directv. The All Star game will be telecast in 3D and the College Football National Championship game will be in 3D. The television had software update available at the Samsung website. It was easy to update. The television was manufactured on March 30, 2010 and the software upgrade was available on April 15. The 3D Blu-ray DVD player also had an update. Not difficult to perform but a little surprised.
Great TV, But Not Perfect
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I just got the TV a couple of weeks a go and decided to post my first review ever on Amazon, as well this is the largest purchase I’ve made. This is my first LCD purchase in a while, I’ve had a Pioneer Plasma that I’ve loved forever, but just moved to Boston and left the Pioneer back home. The picture is extremly clear, almost too clear, sometimes I feel like the TV shows are live action TV, which takes a bit to get used too. The features seem great. I read through some of the comments, I’m pretty sure the C8000 doesn’t have WIFI, as it wasn’t an option, but I had ethernet right behind the TV so I didn’t dig super deep. The Internet options are great, can’t wait to try netflix out. The Yahoo gadget bar is cool and the Internet TV seem great, first time I’ve had these options on a TV.
I watched the masters in 3D, pretty cool, but your eyes get tired pretty quick, active 3D makes your eyes work more than passive 3d IMHO. I’m stuck with crappy comcast in my new building, so no 1080P coming through for other channels. I did the 3D combo and got monsters vs aliens. Wife and I watched a bit of it to check out the 3D. Way better quality than the Masters in 3D, but to be honest when I remember watching HDTV for the first time versus Standard TV, that leap was way bigger than from HDTV to 3DTV, maybe when more content comes out. I was hoping to get Avatar 3D, but those jerks are going to wait a year before releasing it. But atleast Comcast has the 3D Channel, maybe they will do more events in the future.
TV is beautiful, nice and thin. One comment about the C9000 it won’t support the pin-point dimming, so the C8000 is Samsungs best picture TV. That touchscreen remote can be purchased, but it won’t allow you to watch TV on the remote with the C8000 like the C9000 does.
Setup was simple, haven’t really dug deep into the features. Sound is OK, but then again I’m used to my home theatre. Does extremely well with the glare and I haven’t mounted it on the wall and I’m using the standard stand, comes in handy to turn it slighty to get the glare from the sun out of the picture.
One more thing the 3D mode has some ghosting, I wonder if that will be fixed over time. I do think it is worse when your eyes get tired though. I don’t mind the glasses, but I wouldn’t wear them in public
If you are getting a new TV, go for this one, don’t be put off by the 3D as a gimic, all TVs are going to ship with them, I don’t think you are paying a premimum for the HD. I still love my Pioneer Plasma, the thing is 6 years old and still has a great picture, but this is way better than the two Sharp LCDs I own, espicially the one I dropped and broke the screen on.
Touchdown! Black is Black!

Greetings from Berlin, Germany!
I just got this TV as well – here it’s called C 8790. I am really impressed. I have to admit that I jumped from a 27” JVC to the 46” C 8790 – so from a 5 year old TV to this brand new gadget. Thus the differences are enormous. The most mentionable fact I.M.O. is that black is just black. From former TVs I know what it means if black is something like a misty dark gray… A few days before I watched a Blueray with my wife and within the film we thought the TVs somehow switched off -’cause the screen suddenly turned completely black – then we recognized that it just was a scene within the film
On sunday I watched Germany football cup final (ah yes – you call it “soccer”). It was broadcasted in Full HD and it was amazing how natural and vivid the picture looked. I really felt as being in the stadium. Due to the fact that I live in the same city as where the match took place I was able to compare the sky (outside the window in the “real” world) to the sky how it looked like in the TV – yeah and didn’t notice any difference.
Considering the 3D feature. I don not care that much about it – I am an early adopter and I know that this in only the beginning and these are the first steps in bringing 3D to TV sets. Nevertheless it’s nice to see what’s possible and to get idea of what will be possible in future. There’s still a lack of real 3D Bluerays, so we’ll have to see. I watched a Star Trek movie with 2D/3D conversion and – yes – it looked three-dimensional and there was some kind of graphical deepness added to the picture. Though this is not comparable to 3D in cinema it’s exciting to have something like that at home. It depends on the input material. Tried this with another movie – did not work. Looking forward to upcoming 3D bluerays.
Mediaplayer! I got this TV connected to a network router. It immediately discovered my Upnp mediaserver (it’s a TwonkyVision which runs on a QNAP NAS). Browsing pctures, music and video was no problem. I needed to do some configuration work on the twonky server to get most of my videos sucessfully displayed and some still don’t show up. But at least my Simpons archive is accessible now directly via TV
The only thing I am still not able to get up and running is the timeshift feature. I’m using an external HDD on USB1 of the TV. The system checked and formated it. I am able to pause the TV (starting timeshift) but when I try to contunue watching after 30-40 seconds the picture freezes and I have to switch the channel to get it all working again. If I try to replay the timeshift from its beginning i got a message similar to “Unsupported mode, please switch the resolution”. I dropped a message to the Samsung support, maybe they know what’s this about. Meanwhile I’ll try this with another external HDD – maybe that will fix it.
But overall I have to say it’s a great TV which absolutely meets my requirements. Happy with that!
*Update*
Timeshift now works for me. My external USB HDD just was too slow to for that feature. Exchanged with another one – works fine
Pop-ups
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I just bought a 46″ model 8000 LED 3D, and on the bottom of the screen are constant pop-ups advertising it. The Samsung support site says there is no way to get rid of them. Anyone planning to buy this model should think twice.
Best TV on the Market!

While many may compare this to plasma TV’s, especially the panasonic 3d tv which won the CES 2010 award, it depends on preference. For me, I have a brightly lit room and this tv shows amazing picture. In addition, the non-black frame looks perfect in the room. I think this TV is actually better than the C9000 because of the fact that it has precision dimming, which gets rid of the black dark corners that many have complained about in the C7000 and C9000.
3D DOA
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
When I received my 3D tv the 3d part didn’t work. The 3D image on the tv worked fine, the 3D emitter located on the lower left corner of the tv never worked. I tested the emitter with my videocamera viewfinder results no flash of the emitter in my videocamera viewfinder. Called Samsung support and received a call from Electronic Service Labs which is located about a mile from where I live. They told me parts were on order and they said they would fix the tv the same day parts arrive.Took 18 days from shipment arrival to repair date. Technician from ESL was very professional and fixed my tv in about an hour.
The best picture I’ve seen
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
the tv is great got it on sale & haven’t it seen that low since the only thing I don’t like is if you want to get netflixs to work you need to get a jump drive then go to [...] and upload the 15 plus updates. If you try doing it through the tv it says it’s up to date. You still need the wireless adapter (it’s at bestbuy) but it’s worth it no cables to fool with and looks great.
My only other beef is with the shipping company CEVA. NEVER in my life did I have more of a hard time then getting that tv delivered. They where the worst people to deal with I HOPE you never have to deal with them. If you do good luck and lots of patience. It took almost 2 & half weeks to travel 5 states. I could have walked it home in that time.
