- The 'arc' stand can't be swivelled
- Iffy voice control
- Voice and gesture control is gimmicky
- Expensive
- Whites could be punchier
- Picture presets don't get the best out of the TV
- Motion handling remains an Achilles heel in an artefact sock
- Gesture control is still little more than a novelty
- Motion- and voice-control features are still gimmicky
- 'Crease' across the top and bottom of the display when showing certain images
- Smart interface can confuse
- Poor picture presets
- Gesture/voice controls are unconvincing
- Very wide stand design
- Unhelpful picture presets
- Dark scenes lack a little punch versus the very best local dimming TVs
- Some aspects of the interface are rather inscrutable
- Gesture/motion controls don't convince
- And a moviefriendly picture preset would help
- Hit and miss voice control
- Needs wide TV stand
- Price

- The Samsung UNF8000 series of LED backlit HDTVs offer solid performance and loads of features in a beautiful streamlined cabinet, but its black levels are mediocre and its ports are awkwardly placed....

- Excellent Black levels for an LED TV, Superior brightness and color, Most beautifully designed TV of the year, Smooth fast-motion video resolution, Super-fast user interface
- Poor off-axis performance, Wide TV stand may limit placement flexibility, Remote takes getting used to
- Any minor quirks associated with Samsung's ultra-rich Smart TV interface should be considered a by-product of aggressive efforts at improving the Smart TV experience. Future iterations will likely be even more refined, and that's exciting to think about...

- Fantastic smart features, Natural colour, Sharp, defined detail, Inky blacks
- Voice and gesture control is gimmicky, Expensive, Whites could be punchier
- We really like the Samsung: it's a cutting-edge set with improved smart features, a friendlier user experience, and a definite step up in both sound and picture performance. But it's not flawless: the motion and voice controls are far from perfect, and...

- Faithful colours in Movie mode (average Delta E = 1.9), Good contrast: 1,870:1, Virtually no crosstalk in 3D mode, Effective motion interpolation (Motion Plus), Two remote controls included, one with a touchpad
- Glossy screen causes glare, Narrow viewing angles, Potential for clouding, Poor sound quality
- The Samsung F8000 certainly has more bells and whistles than any other TV on the market, from S-Recommendation to voice and motion control. The picture quality, however, is disappointing. We expected more out of a TV like this. Just like the F7000, in ord...

- So then, the F8000 is a very good TV. We would've like to see a bit more thought gone into its design, to ease cable management.It also takes a bit of setting up to get a really good picture, with Samsung still insisting - as most manufacturers do - in ma...

- Motion- and voice-control features are still gimmicky; 'Crease' across the top and bottom of the display when showing certain images
- The UE55F8000 is the best LED TV I've seen so far this year. It has strong picture and audio quality and a truly excellent smart TV system, making it a well-rounded package. Nevertheless, it's hugely expensive and if you mostly use your TV to watch mov...
