Comment on Samsung UN48H8000 Curved 48-Inch 1080p 240Hz 3D Smart LED TV by somdeb.
Outstanding and Amazing,
Why I like it –
1. This is eligible for concierge service for free if you buy from Amazon. Un-boxing and installing was extremely easy and took less than 5
minutes. Everything was done by the concierge service.
2. This television is actually smart and programs itself accordingly based on how you use it.
3. Picture quality is amazing. I was amazed to see how good Netflix and Amazon prime instant video was
4. You get two remotes with it. One is the big, standard remote with lots of buttons. The other is a small remote that fits into your hand it is
really good for browsing.
5. Amazing 3D viewing. Too bad my internet wasn’t fast enough to stream 3D movies from Netflix without buffering.
6. The curved panel is something i haven’t seen before and it is really cool. It also helps in side angle viewing
7. I have both a PS and a XBOX 360. I connected my PS3 with an HDMI cable and the picture quality was amazing. XBOX 360 was not too
bad compared to the PS3 and that is probably because I connected it with a component cable rather than HDMI.
8. Sound quality is pretty good. Though, in my opinion, one should get a BOSE home theater system with this if they are willing to spend that
kind of money.
9. Some of the things that I have not tried yet – Connect smart devices through an app, share a folder from a laptop, play media from a usb
device etc.
Issues: So far I have seen only one.
1. This happens with Netflix only. Sometimes if you are having internet problems or you have logged into Netflix from too many devices, then
when you click on the Netflix icon, the screen will go dark and you will not be able to navigate to any other screens. You will then have to
turn the television off and on again to see the smart hub screen again. Most likely this is a problem with the samsung smart hub software. It
would have been nice if I could just quit out of the program if it isn’t responding.
Bottom line: This television is worth its price. The picture quality is no less than 4K. Also there are not much 4K content and it will take years before it is widely available. Besides, who knows, 4K might be taken over by some other technology in the next few years. Right now, this is probably the best television that is out there.
