Strengths: Order of magnitude better picture quality than anything else, 3d effect amazing, amazing resolution, contrast, brightness, flush wall mount, redefines how we watch home theater
Weaknesses: None in picture. Controls could be faster, auto-motion setting and picture mode should have buttons on remote control (programmable?), Can't wait for larger screens, someday 80"...
Summary: Picture quality is jax dropping. After many years of 1080p/24 and 120Hz, the 8000 is an order of magnitude better. It also beats every picture I've seen on any TV in any store, including the $6k plasmas by far. 1080i from cable HD (and 30 year old blurays) beats any bluray from other TV's (mine and seen in stores) by far in 3d effect and picture quality, and blu-ray on the 8000 is a class ahead of that. Finally, a real window on the world effect, even from hdtv. My highest recommendation. This year's best is several times better at half the price, great time to buy. 6th Ave is the best, came in to buy a new plasma, walked out with 7000 due to much higher picture quality (much better than $6k Kuro with no 3d effect, even on Dark Knight bluray), then traded in and had 8000 1 week later for the same bargain price now offered with $1000 off. Listening to HD sound, never used TV speakers.

Strengths: Picture, picture, picture baseball looking real coming over home plate.
Weaknesses: I don't know of any.
Summary: Amazing picture is all I can say. We bought this last month and wow. This TV brings to life old black and white moview that the light seems to go around the figures. It is so close to 3D it is astonishing... We had a 52" Samsung plasma that I was worried about parting with but once this was on... it was like the plasma was 20 yrs. old. The technical perks I don't use, I just like a good picture so I cannot comment on them.

Strengths: Gorgeous color, contrast, sharpness
Weaknesses: slight darkening at corners
Summary: The colors are so vibrant and beautiful that you don't really notice the darkening unless someone, like my engineer husbnd, points it out to you. This tv is mesmerizing.

Strengths: This is the best picture that I have ever seen and viewed. I was going to save money by purchasing an LCD instead of the LED and glad I didn't. Everyone raves about how clear and concise of picture.
Weaknesses: None soo far.
Summary: As I stated in the strengths of this TV, being the newest concept with LED and 240 hz, I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting the best available and my purchase and process was handled perfectly, including delivery.

Strengths: the picture is absolutely amazing! you feel like you are sitting inside the set. agreeably it is nearly 3D like.
Weaknesses: on the downside of the picture quality in certain cases the picture is too good (not a complaint on the television side) certain sets are noticeably fake, like a backdrop of the grandcanyon.
Summary: overall- most outrageous tv i have ever watched. watching anything on another television seems fuzzy. the speakers are not the best but it is tolerable and i have intension of hooking up a surround so

3 Star ReviewSamsung LED TV's
Strengths: Gives true color picture
Weaknesses: Needs improvement in the audio. Ports point out therefore not allowing flush wall mount.
Summary: Way over price for the market. Samsung needs to come down on their pricing. There are several other LCD's that offer exactly the same for much less. The whole idea in building over seas was to lower the price not jack it up to where it becomes cost prohibited. Check out the customer ratings? Most are 3 star or less.
