hi everybody this is the samsung un60f8000 it's a 65 inch size in the least expensive line of the company's high-end s UHD TVs putting it in sort of a sweet spot on paper in person one of its strong suits is design from the sleek extra thin chrome frame to the simple easy to hold remote Samsung thought this TV out very well one thing I love is that you can choose two different positions for the legs toward the center for narrower furniture or splayed wide for added stability another thing I love is that it's flat not curved like many Samsung TVs as you'd expect from Samsung this set is packed with features and one is really cool the ability to control connected devices automatically just plug in your cable box game console Roku or other device and the TV recognizes it names the input and even program into that simple remote to control it it worked well for many devices but certainly not all the ones I tried the smart TV system is great with a solid selection of apps the ability to surface individual shows on the home page and even the ability control Samsung smartthings smart home devices like lights and thermostats right from the screen that function is coming later the summer with a free USB dongle fancy features are all well and good but image quality is the most important thing in a TV the KS 8000 demonstrated gray color video processing and screen brightness but its overall picture quality fell short of the competition it can't produce a really deep shade of black and the edge of the screen are brighter than the rest so it lacks the contrast and punch of recent 2016 sets I've tested from Vizio and Sony its image is still very good however and with its unique features in style the Samsung KS 8000 should appeal to plenty of mid to high-end TV shoppers this year I'm David Katz my resina you
