Reviews Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch HDTV


First, off. My set up is DirecTV HD enabled, PS3 for watching movies (Blu-Ray, Netflix streamed) and plating video games.

I must agree with quite a few people that you can tell the unevenness of the lighting, but this is only noticeable when the screen is absolutely dark such in the case of switching to a different input. I have yet to notice it when watching a football game or movie in HD.
Secondly, the 240 Hz feature can give your movies that "Masterpiece Theater on PBS" look and feel. It's as if you are watching those old soaps on TV. Picture is so clear and fast movement is so well reproduced you can tell the movie is fake. It is difficult to suspend reality. My family wasn't too thrilled about it so I turned off the 240 Hz. Movies are back to looking the way it was meant to be seen...fake, but with all the clarity of 1080p. However, sports benefit from the 240Hx feature.
