Samsung - 82" Class 8 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV

Originally my wife thought it might be too big..... WRONG. This is GREAT and she loves it. This TV has been a nice addition to the house and we are enjoying the heck out of it. The remote is the best remote I have used for any device. It takes some getting used to and a little practice but once you get it noting is better. When you set up your TV it will automatically recognize most major cable and satellite boxes and automatically set the system to work with the TV remote. And in our case we have the Samsung sound bar with Direct TV and it all works from the TV remote. The only draw back which is slight, is that the Tizen OS (the Samsung TV OS) does not natively support some streaming services like Philo. You need to plug in a fire stick or something similar to use certain streaming services. However we have found the Netflix short cut button so easy to use that we have spent much more time in Netflix. all in all great tv and very happy.

I have 3 other Samsung 8000 series and this one is the biggest. It made the 65 inch looked a lot smaller than it is. I chose the Samsung 8000 Series over its QLED because of the prize and, I cannot tell the difference in picture quality between the QLED and the 8000 Series. They are both 4K displays and when compared side by side in other stores, the picture quality is the same to me. The QLED might have features that the 8000 Series does not have but for my use, I probably will not notice or need to use them so I don’t want to pay for something I will not use. I’ve had the TV for 3 days now and I have played some 4K contend from NETFLIX, VUDU, Amazon Prime, and Google play with no issues. Of course, this is dependent on your internet connectivity. There are no issues with browsing the internet either. I’m not much of a gamer however, I played some games on the TV and it worked great. The TV sound is ok, and I guess is what you would expect but a soundbar or surround system is going to make a huge difference. I have a 7.2 surround system so no issues with sound quality. There are channels in the stands for cable management. Depending on the thickness of your cables, you can fit maybe one or two in these channels in the stands. I was able to fit 2 HDMI cables in the right stand and the power cord in the left one and they are concealed very well in my opinion. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this TV. Go for the QLED or other expensive TVs if you have the funds.

Its a HUGE TV. You can't really beat the price for this size. I've noticed some motion issues in the ~year I've had it but it really only seems to happen for signals coming from the cable box. Anything streamed through the TV or played on a video game console is flawless. For sports, I only really watch ice hockey and the definition is great but there is a somewhat consistent, but minimal, blur. It should also be noted that the sports channels i get do not broadcast in 4K so i cannot comment on that. I have it mounted on my wall about 10ft from the couch and its perfect.

Replaced a Sony 65” television. Very nice up grade. I am happy that I purchased this television but would probably have jumped up to the Q-led for the few extra hundred dollars if I did it over

Feels almost like watching the movies at home. Purchased during Super Bowl weekend for an amazing lot discounted price. Overall pleased with my product purchase.

Nice clear picture, easy setup. I wish Samsung would fix their internet connectivity issue. Here is a quick fix for the internet that intermittently disconnects: hold the power button for a couple of seconds. The tv will power off and power back on. When it powers back on it will be connected. All my tv's are series 7 and 8 and they all do the same thing. It's a shame for the tv to be so nice with a glitch like this...

I originally started off with the 75 inch Samsung… But then I went back to Best Buy and saw the 82 inch… With more features… Best Buy was more than accommodating! They came and picked up the 75 inch and dropped off the 82 inch. I couldn’t be happier with the smart TV.

I love this TV! It’s massive! Great for gaming, good color, good resolution, plenty of input/output options. Works great!
