We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 55-inch Samsung UN55D8000, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by c|net (Apr, 2011)
This is a great tv, I used to have a D6420 for about 8 months and sold it, then I bought this awesome 3d tv, the picture feels like your in the movie or tv show, it has the auto motion plus 240 Hz and I love it even though I know almost no body likes it, the 3D looks so great even when you are converting 2D to 3D, The speakers I think they are ok, at least they are louder then the ones on the D6420 I had before.

There is no denying that this TV looks beautiful with it's thin edge and it's slim design makes it look fantastic when you out it on the wall.
8000 Series (2011 LCD) by Stephen-Gates--Steve-G
The picture is superb, the software and functionality are expansive, and the thin-ness of the device is remarkable.

I really can't say enough about the quality of the design, the clarity of the picture, the ease of the setup (everything is plug n play).

The picture quality is just amazing... In fact, I watched several episodes of NCIS (from 2003) on USA HD... The quality was far superior to anything I've seen before.

Whoever is looking at this TV for home, I would certainly recommend to also think of a good set of surround speakers to really make it count.

Samsung's active glasses are lightweight and comfortable, and will fit right over your prescription glasses.

Additionally, once I purchased compatible 3D glasses, the 3D glasses could not be paired with the TV.
