I spent $3,300 on a Samsung series 8, LED flat panel over a year ago. It had a front facing camera, dualcore processor, hand-gesture and voice recognition, and much more. They said don't worry, this t.v. will never be obsolete because of the evolution kit designed with this model. I said, "ok great, I'm sold!" Well, speed up to Jan 2015, a year and a half later. I buy this evolution kit, hoping it would solve all my many trouble from the past year and a half. Problems like the t.v. changing channels for no reason, asking what I said for no reason, randomly turning on and/or off for no reason, and literally interrupting my conversations to ask me "please speak up or I can't understand what you said." This evolution kit I thought did the trick, the first 2 days. My new remote worked great. No more glitches. After 2 days, it all started back, but now worse. The remote doesn't work, period, at all. The I.U. is a little better. The processor is without a doubt faster. But now I'm forced to use the keyboard because no remotes work, period. New remote is awesome when it did work. Great new features but still wayyy too many glitches.

Works well
I'm sorry I did not know about upgradeing my Samsung. I have to purchase this unit every time I want to upgrade(every year that's what the sales person told me). Not happy. The Evolution kit is very expensive. Don't know If I will do it again. The only reason I did it was a friend bought a new Samsung and the remote is now a pointer. Wow! gotta have it, makes life easier. On the other hand, it's very easy to install!

a new TV for fraction of the cost
I wasnt sure if the Evolution Kit would work based on some prior reviews but figured that it was worth a shot. I couldnt be happier. The new smarthub is great. The increase in processor speed definitely improves performance! I have a 2012 ES8000 now with the EV Kit I have the look and feel of a 2014 HD TV from Samsung. Hookup takes a few minutes then its another 5-10 minutes to run through the config wizard. Absolutely no complaints so far.
