||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product was fine. The store was horrible. I paid for it one day and went to pick it up at the store a few days later and they told me i had already picked it up. Sat at store for half hour while they sorted it out and tried to find video footage Accused me of picking it up earlier and trying to pick it up again. Which i obviosly didnt. After accusing me of 'shop lifting' I was a little upset. They were very dismissive and disrespectful considering it was their mistake. They finally admitted it was their mistake and gave me the tv. However, no apology for the accusations or my time lost waiting. I would not deal with this store again.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the store it was my top pick. Got it home and hung on the wall only to see the bottom right corner turning black. Took it back to the store and it was out of stock or I would have gotten another one. Ended up with a LG model.

Bad customer service
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV works ok but customer service was found lacking. Ordered TV with home delivery and setup on 09/01 with a date of 09/17 for installation. Was informed on 09/16 that in those 16 days a tech could not be found to do the install and was given a new date of 10/04 which was unacceptable. We went back to store, picked up the TV and installed ourselves - canceling everything else. BEST BUY has been our go to for over 20+ yrs but no more. We will definitely shop around for our next purchase for good customer service instead of what we were given with this purchase. I will no longer recommend Best Buy to anyone for a purchase.

Trial and error user guide.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is nice but the remote sucks really bad. Also the directions or operators guide is useless, its been a trial and error thing to figure out how it works. The hdmi connectors in the back are not wall mount friendly, I had to buy 90 degree hdmi plugs to connect some of my components to this TV because the connectors on the back of the TV point outward instead of downward like most TV,s. Outside of that the TV works fine.

Sagging Screen

Posted .Hi DayC,
Thank you for your feedback regarding the screen abnormalities you're seeing on your TV. To help determine if the issue is related to the panel itself, we recommend starting with a Picture Test, which displays a high-definition image you can examine for flaws: Settings > Support > Device Care > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test
If the issue appears during the test and across all sources (built-in apps, HDMI devices, etc.), it may indicate a panel-related concern.
You can also try displaying solid-color test videos (red, green, blue, black, white) from a USB drive or YouTube. This can help you identify whether any pixels are stuck or not functioning properly.
In some cases, unplugging the TV for a few minutes and rebooting it can help resolve stuck pixels caused by temporary display behavior.
If the problem persists after these steps, the TV may require service. To set up a service appointment, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat and additional support resources are also available through the Support link on our website.

DELIVERY RATING IS A 0/100
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received my FIRST TV with a large dent/crack in the top of the screen. I had waited over a week to get it. Then after finally getting on the phone to get a replacement… they said it would be there 13 days LATER. On the day of, I go to fill out prep paperwork and they have put my OLD address on the delivery of the SECOND TV instead of the address the FIRST TV was delivered to… all of this because they wouldn’t let me return it in person. Great policy BestBuy. I guess we will see how the SECOND TV goes.

Apps don’t work
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After two weeks my apps stopped working all of the sudden. Unfortunately this was two days after the return policy so I couldn’t return and Samsung can’t give me a replacement. So I have to cast everything from my phone or iPad to stream any app. Super inconvenient.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.picture not clear, blurry and color quality was lacking
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Samsung
Posted .Hi LeonardP,
Thank you for your feedback on the Samsung U8000F TV. If the picture appears unclear, dull, or lacks definition, there are several settings you can adjust to improve clarity and overall image quality. Go to: Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings, and review these key settings:
Picture Clarity Settings: While originally intended for motion handling, these can also impact overall clarity
• Off: Disables motion enhancements
• Auto: Automatically adjusts based on content
• Custom: Lets you fine-tune:
o Judder Reduction – Helps smooth out uneven motion
o LED Clear Motion – Boosts sharpness in fast-moving content
o Noise Reduction – Reduces distortion and enhances detail in lower-resolution sources
Core Picture Settings
• Brightness – Controls overall screen brightness
• Contrast – Enhances the difference between bright and dark areas
• Sharpness – Adjusts edge definition; closer to 20 increases detail
• Color – Enhances depth and intensity of colors
And don’t forget to check for the latest firmware, which may improve performance: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now
These adjustments can make a noticeable difference in overall clarity. If you need further help tailoring the settings to your preferences or environment, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat is also available via the ‘Support’ link on our website.
