Hello.

I'm thinking of buying a Samsung F8000 smart tv but would appreciate any
views of this tv.

Thanks.

They have it in the John Lewis stores, if you went to one you could
view it from all angles.

JLP will usually have a longer (free) guarantee than most other
suppliers.

True - and more importantly, they have never tried to weasel their way
out of honouring it when I've taken stuff back there over a year later.

++++++++
Double ditto - 3 year old TV just replaced without any quibbles.

I went and made a slight nuisance of myself taking a very long look at their
TVs and ended up buying a Panasonic. A friend of mine has a Samsung and
likes it but I found that the picture on the Panasonic looked better than
the Samsung.

I suspect it's very subjective though so as others say, have a look. In
case you care, the Panasonic I have had built in WiFi and very good it is
too. Don't know if the Samsung has this or not.

And if you're a US baseball fan, you can use the MLB's app on the Panasonic,
but NOT on the Samsung - it seems Panasonic have done a UK deal with MLB but
Samsung have not (see the MLB website for precise details). That said, I
didn't buy the TV for this (didn't know at the time) and haven't yet tried
to see how good the streaming is - might try for the end-of-season package.

Let me know when you get it and I'll come around your place to see it.

We recently bought a Phillips which is lovely - I did have to re-set all
the colours and save them as a new set though, as all the pre-programmed
choices were incredibly garish and made me want to take the thing back
at first.

Other than that, the only niggle I have is how long it takes to turn on
from stand-by. It's several seconds - and that seems like quite long
time, but since it's the first tele we've bought in maybe 15 years, I've
no idea if they're all like that now.

As far as I know they are all like that now.

Today a TV is a computer with screen, loudspeakers, tuner(s),
input/output connectors, and specialist software. Like any other
computer it takes time to start up.
