TV will keep you happy until 4K is perfected & prices lowered,
*Updated after 9 months*
Overall: I have had this TV series for about 9 months now. I am VERY pleased with the purchase. Glad I went to the 60″. The previous ES8000 model was plagued with cloudiness, banding–both gone in F series(55/60″ tested). Flashlighting is minimal on this set and improved over the ES series. I needed a LED TV upgrade and was on a budget ($2500 OTD/with tax) that didn’t place me in the local array dimming technology zone(I believe to be the best type of TV right now). Plasma’s are too reflective for my environment and the extra heat is unwanted (check out the Samsung PN51F8500 though, sounds like it is well liked).
Right away I noticed how solid the TV itself felt. IF I had to do it over again, I would definitely recommend the 55″ OR 60″ F8000 for others to buy over the ES8000. Just ensure you get the best deal for it as the MSRP is way overpriced. For ES8000 owners…I wouldn’t upgrade. No way. This TV will hold me over until 4K’s are on the market for awhile, helping companies perfect the tech and lower the price.
Be wary of some of these random 1 star reviews, as many users do not even own the F series TV! Or they had an issue because they didn’t have the right settings configured. If you read the comments, under those reviews you will see they fixed their issue. I feel this TV rates 5 stars as I believe this tech is at it’s “ceiling” and there is minimal room for improvement using edge lit tech.
For those who wish the short and simple, thats it! Keep reading for indepth review.
Current FIXABLE problems with firmware 11.16:
-3D setting “light control” settins on “high” resets to “low”
-Netflix, Vudu, Amazon Prime, DLNA video’s all have cinema black disabled(supposedly this can be fixed in app updates but its remained off)
Picture Quality: The picture quality on this TV is fantastic especially after a few color tweaks (posted below). The blacks are so DEEP compared to my last tv(direct lit led). There is a SMALL amount of flash lighting in all four corners(more noticable on 60″ when in PC mode); I believe this is a fault for ALL edge lit tv’s as that is how the image functions. I can only notice flashlighting in all black lighting with something like movie title in middle of screen and black on rest of screen, or if in PC mode with a most black screen. Unless you are really looking for it in a black screen and concentrated on a corner you will not notice flashlighting. Also when testing it, please play a movie or something, as when the menu is up or the TV states “check source HDMI not connected” flashlighting is more evident and nobody uses their TV to watch a blank screen.
Viewing Angle: Fairly limited until it begins to wash out(ALL edge-lit tech will have this issue). You will notice the farther off center you will notice more of a degradation in picture quality. This doesn’t bother me as my “seat” is always right in front. Most end users are not as particular or picky as me when it comes to picture quality, many will not even care or notice a difference until a more extreme angle(an angle you can’t reach in the room my TV is in). I sit about 14 feet away and if I go 4 feet to either side, I cannot notice the picture washing out.
Price: MSRP is overpriced. Ensure you get a good deal and get a store to pricematch to best price you can find. The 55″ should be around $1730 and 60″ $1945. I attempted to get Amazon to price match a store that was not on their official authorized list and they refused (attempted multiple times, through different numbers and chat). It was a $500 difference. When I was looking I found the 60″ as low as $2400 at the time. I ended up having the local Best Buy price match this tv for me. I bought my last flagship Samsung TV in 2008/9. The A850 model(now in bedroom, this TV still satisfies me and looks better than many lower model new Samsung TV’s on market today).
Stand: I hated the TV stand. To feng shui for me. My wife loved it though. It actually fit our TV stand, be warned if you have a small TV stand it will not fit…this stand is very wide. This helps the tv to appear to “float”. It even came with some sort of oversized plastic screws and rope that ensured a child couldn’t pull the TV down (smart). I planned on mounting this TV though like my last TV, so the stand doesn’t matter much to me.
Wall Mount: I opted for a low profile wall mount from Monoprice. The one I picked was $14 and the product ID number is 5918 from monoprice’s website. I linked the same mount below through amazon but it is $8 more here. This places the TV pretty much ON the wall with this mount. It’s about 19mm off of the actual wall. I was able to run the power cord and a…
