Official Samsung UNXXD8000 Owners' Thread - Page 6

Using the UN and the XX is proper protocol on this Forum. It maintains uniformity and makes the Forum look more professional and less haphazard.

Thanks to nahtanoj and freebits for their early impressions and pictures. I have the un55c8000 and pretty much already know that i'll upgrade to the d8000 later this year.

Regarding the touch remote (given nahtanoj is still getting to know the settings and freebits will get a galaxy eventually), this might be a bit much to ask, but could you guys check whether iphone app available through the itunes store could be used to control the tv?

According to the app's description, so long as the tv & the iphone (i guess ipad also) are on the same wifi network, then you should be able to control the tv with the phone. Some of the snapshots for the app seem to indicate that text entry would be possible as well.

Anyhow - enjoy the tvs and as more folks receive shipment, please keep the pictures, settings, reviews flowing.

There is an app now that lets you control the c8000. Its been out for awhile, I don't know if it will control the new d8000 TVs. I supposed it would but not the twin view feature, Samsung said they would have newer apps for the galaxy tab and phone to control the TV with the twin view on the device. I'm not sure they would pass this on to other non Samsung devices but who knows. I use the iPod touch app on my c8000 now, I put my order in for my d8000 and will test the apps out on my android phone and Ipod when I get my TV.

Of course. I was able to control D8000 using the existing iphone app from Samsung (Prolly it's for C series). but never tried to enter any text to search web. volume and channel, a/b/c/d button, they worked all fine tru wifi network.

Sincerely, freebits, for photos does not seem a significant problem, but if you are bothered is entitled to request the exchange.

Thank you very much for the information that you and nahtanoj we provide.

P. S.

Sorry for the bad translation, I'm from Spain and do not speak your language.

Understood. I never installed it on my ios devices because I didn't want to buy a wifi stick for my c8000. Thanks for offering to test the apps.

And yeah, twin view would be sweet on iphones/ipads, but I also agree that samsung is not likely to extend that functionality to non-samsung products.

Yeah. it seems you're right. the backlight bleeding in 4th image is not so severe. I change it now with darker one at the previous post but it's still not annoying level.

p.s. Me, I'm speaking Korean thus I'm also poor at other language.

Can the people who already received their D8000's and future owners kindly post where they live (even if it's just the country) and actually came with the TV when you received it and if you want, where you bought it (no price talk).

I am curious to see if and when the 2 pairs of 3D glasses will actually be included in the boxes, when and if the QWERTY remote was also inside the box and if you got the 3D promo pack included at no charge?

It seems like some people are getting the 3D promo pack while others are not (different vendors), some have vouchers for the glasses and QWERTY remote which is supposed to be in the box while others already had them inside?

A poll would be a neat idea maybe?

Thanks!!

Have you read this entire thread? The questions about where people live and where they bought have pretty much already been answered if you look closely. Also, what does it matter where they live? A simple Google search will give you several buying options as the TVs are now starting to hit the stores and on-line retailers daily.

Thanks for the awesome reviews Jonathan. Just one question for us Canadian buyers: where was the TV made?

Should UEXXD8000, UAXXD8000 etc... threads be established then
Note also that everybody is calling those puppies by pet names D8000, D7000...

Thank you very much, Jonathan, for your kind response. You know, thanks to the valuable information I am considering to buy the 55D8000. Is doing an excellent job and providing valuable information that we have in mind when buying a new TV.

We are very grateful.

Some bleeding from sides might be inevitable (proof of side edge LED) but in your case the bleeding is unsymmetric from left/right. Question is if this is due to bad factory tuning or it is a result of setting other parameters and not caring about bleeding (center is pretty uniform). If Samsung agreed for replacement it could be production glitch, interesting to see how the new set will do.

Your input is very valuable here, thanks to the experience of people like you and Jonathan, we can do a better buy. This is the true essence of forums like this.

One question: How many blacks are degraded to view the screen from the sides?

Thanks again.

Just ordered the 46d8000 from abt. Really friendly folks and my set ships out today. Should be here by end of the week. It comes with the querty remote 2 pair 3d glasses and the shrek starter kit with an additonal 2 pair of glasses.

I ordered the 55D8000 from Cleveland Plasma last night!

Question for you guys, is it worth it to run through a spears & munsil type disk? Given all of the auto-contrast and enhancements going on it seems like it might be a difficult task to dial it in. And if I disable all of that to do the calibration, what happens when I turn them back on?

Dang in ready for Thursday, the day my 46d8000 will arrive.

Yes, I've followed and read this thread from it's first post, I know were they bought but as I very mentioned, I also included the words "future owners" in there.

The purpose of this was to make an attempt to bring some clarification to all the speculation as to what is included in the box and the differences with that in comparison to where we live, I didn't ask for their address...

Also, at the same time, it would have given us some feedback as to whether or not some of the items were being included in the box (yet) or if everyone needed to mail in vouchers for these extras.it may not be "important" to some, but I'm sure many will find this info useful, especially Canadians in particular who will probably be crossing the border to buy this TV or ordering it online and not have a USA shipping address to have the glasses and remote shipped to.

On this thread and the other Samsung 2011 thread, you will see that there is a lot of back and forth as to what people were getting e.g. QWERTY remote, touch screen, Galaxy tab etcand as we have posters from all around the world joining us and reading these threads, the people with these questions could know what to expect when buying this set wherever they live.

As for "A simple Google search will give you several buying options" - I am well aware of that, however, it makes no reference to what is actually physically included in the box even though this TV may come with extra items and a lot of the info they are getting is based on Samsung links or websites which most of us know have been incorrect or mixed up.

Yup, lol, us Canadian's! Better be made in Mexico!! I'm waiting on this info also!

Are the TV's made for other countries also made in Mexico or does Samsung have another assemble plant overseas?

Would you post the precise dimensions of your set including set height from the shelf to the top of the screen....TIA

Your A650 gets about 100 ms of lag with amp on. However In game mode it is really good...

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showp...55&postcount=3

100 ms is pretty atrocious. You must either not play online alot or not play at high level. No way anyone can be good with that amount of input lag.

I cant wait to see some lag tests on these new samsung's. Thats the only efficient way to know if they are good or not. Otherwise its just opinions.

I was wondering this too. I have an old configuration spiderTV for tuning the TV or was thinking about getting the Spears & Munsil. Also considering getting the TV ISF calibrated if it will make a big difference. What I heard from last years sets was that they were pretty well calibrated out of the box.
