The Samsung US55ES8000 is a beautiful-looking TV with at the very least as much network capability as anything on the market, and far more than most.The Internet-based content offerings are solid, providing a wide range of choice for expanding viewing opt...
Excellent picture quality in HD and SD, Useful video sharing and apps, Striking design
Voice and motion features aren't perfect, Interface feels slightly slow, No huge advances in picture quality since 2011
Samsung's best 2012 LED TV is a strong performer for picture quality and design, and it has some interesting technical advancements in the form of voice and motion recognition. On its own, the Series 8 TV is a high quality device. Picture quality isn't va...
Picture presets are poor, Gesture control not great, Limited viewing angle, Backlight bleed with 3D
Samsung is in serious no-compromise mode with the UE55ES8000. Aside from, perhaps, its sound, the whole TV looks and feels cutting edge. The voice, gesture and touchpad remote systems are particularly startling, and set a new standard for TV operation tha...

Confusing QWERTY remote, Little bit expensive
After going through the UA55ES800 Review, we can conclude that this smart TV has got lot of premium features. However, this TV does not suit the requirements of mid-end consumers very much. Samsung UA55ES800 Price in India has been placed at INR 264,500 A...
The Samsung UA55ES8000 is available in India at an MRP of Rs. 2,73,000. This television is a product that is meant for a niche audience and the price is the only justification for this fact. The model possesses cutting edge features that very few televis...
Abstract: As you'd expect, the Samsung ‘s picture quality is outstanding right across the board. Bright, detailed and stable, the 3D image is the best we've seen from a TV so far, and high-def pictures (Blu-ray, Freesat or Freeview HD) are impressive too. It's part...
