Samsung UND8000
I just received an Samsung UN46D8000 with its PANEL BENT on 1 side. In cross section, among the short sides -- supposed to be straight -- looks like a boomerang producing an angle of about 175°. Interestingly, the box shows no visible harm. Even so, the defect became apparent right away when I glanced down the panel as I intended to lift it out in the box. It appears that some brute force has destroyed what wonderful minds have intelligently engineered and manufactured. This will likely be a test for Amazon's return/replacement process.
Update: The broken monitor had been delivered on a Friday. Amazon did an outstanding career in handling this problem and had the replacement delivered currently around the following Monday (choosing up the defect 1 simultaneously). I am very impressed together with the image excellent, and this is the purpose for my rating this Television with 5 stars. The image Samsung UND8000 is completely sharp, with intense colors and outstanding contrast, showing higher brightness and deep blacks. Also, it shows notably less motion blur than an older keep track of I've. The 3D performance is remarkable as well as the included glasses perform quite very well. Somewhat disappointing are the apps (applications) that include this technique. The preinstalled apps at the same time as these that happen to be presently available for download aren't comparable with what it is possible to have e.g. on an iPhone regarding each quality and selection. One example is, I have nevertheless to figure out the best way to kind in text in to the search area of your YouTube application, as opposed to clicking letters on the displayed keyboard with the mouse pointer. Nonetheless, this functionality just isn't particularly vital to me. What bothers me extra is that there appears to be no solution to play slides on a USB stick in random order. For Windows computers, Samsung supplies a "PC Share Manager", having said that WiFi information transfer presently doesn't seem to work with Apple OS X.
Strikingly beneficial 2D picture top quality. I've in no way noticed black so black. I've not attempted the 3D mode yet, but when it truly is as excellent because the 2D, it is going to be wonderful.
Set-up and web connection was straightforward, while I am not impressed with a lot of the "Smart TV" material. The web browser will not function with several of my favorite internet sites. The QWERTY keyboard is actually a small difficult to use and the bluetooth pairing required that the keyboard be held inside of 5-inches in the Television. This was not mentioned anyplace within the user manual.
Also, the code that would let the Samsung UN46D8000 off/on function with my A/V receiver remote cannot be observed. Samsung says it is the A/V manufacturer's issue, and they say it's Samsungs. Go figure.
