Help With This Item 
i have recieved my samsung pn58c8000 really fast…. 5 days delivery…. but when i opened it…whalaaa.. 4 huge cracks on the screen… im waiting for the replacement… it will take 6 days…. hope to get it well this time….
Best surprise was the shipping. Three days door to door with the driver delivering, unpacking, placing on stand and plugging it in to verify operating product. System worked fine and 3D was awesome with my Sony bluray DVD whose firmware had just been downloaded. Only agravating item was the source feature that retains the (1) PC label and (2) Anynet label that thinks it has to use my wireless DVD to access the internet. My main problem is what I am going to do with my Samsung LN-T5265 TV. Guess I’ll move it into the den to watch Fallout New Vegas ordered from Amazon.com on my Xbox.
Folks my review title says all you need to know about the Samsung PN58C8000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black). I bought mine 3 months ago from Amazon & have been extremely satisfied with the deep blacks, accurate colors & incredible detail from this HDTV. The 3-D has been an unexpected, welcome surprise as well.
Like many of you I researched & researched & researched to find the best HDTV that fit my budget. We’re remodeling our game room & wanted to move our 46″ Sony XBR LCD in there. Since we were very happy with the performance of the Sony my bias was to buy another top notch LCD, only this time go with LED backlighting. Fortunately I took my time making up my mind.
I really wanted to stay with Sony, but they seemed to drop the ball with LED. The XBR-8 was great but no longer in production. Their follow-up LED based models weren’t as good & they were much more expensive. I looked seriously at Sony, Samsung, LG & Vizio but each had one or more things that kept me from taking the plunge. I just couldn’t justify spending major $$$ & accepting one or more flaws. I was somewhat of an early adopter with my Sony XBR, but here in 2010 I expected HDTV’s to be clearly superior & more reasonably priced.
Yet the reviews by consumers & the pro’s seemed to show that even though LCD’s had come a long way, they still were far from perfect. Even models costing over $3,000 had flaws I couldn’t look past for a TV that should be in my living room for 10+ years.
Rather than continuing to pound square pegs into round holes I expanded my parameters. One thing that my favorite product review site [you know it - the round red ball with the name that sounds like sea net] noted time & time again in reviews of LCD’s was that plasma HDTV’s generally produce deeper blacks, making it easier to get better contrast & better color reproduction. And plasma’s pictures are the same from all viewing angles.
So I started researching plasmas. I finally narrowed it down to the Panasonic TC-P58VT25 58-inch 3D Ready 1080p VIERA Plasma HDTV & the Samsung PN58C8000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black).
The Panasonic had issues with black-level loss with 2009 models [that is now showing up in the 2010's], so that gave me pause. Also the price point was so much higher for Panasonic TC-P58VT25. Although Sea Net had not yet reviewed the Smasung PN58C8000, they had reviewed the PN58C7000 & gave it very high marks.
Right about that time Amazon had great pricing on the Samsung & they offered a free Samsung 3D Starter Kit SSG-P2100T & a free Samsung BD-C6900 1080p 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with a purchase of a Samsung 3-D HDTV. I decided to take the plunge.
Amazon’s White Glove delivery service was fast & flawless. Once I got the TV set up I used Sea Net’s calibration settings for the Samsung PN58C7000 [the PN58C8000 still wasn't reviewed there yet]. The picture was stunning. HD programming was fantastic, SD programming was great & Blu-Ray movies were outstanding.
An unexpected benefit was how awesome 3-D programming is. I never factored in 3-D since it’s so new so I had very low expectations. All I can say is WOW! Lucky for me it turns out that plasma’s outperform LCD’s in 3-D capability.
When Sea Net reviewed the Samsung PN58C8000 earlier this month I changed my picture settings to the calibration settings from the review for the PN58C8000. WOW!! I thought my picture was excellent before. It’s even better now.
I am extremely happy with my purchase. Thank you Amazon & Samsung!
I recently moved into a new apartment with my wife and was looking for a TV that was big enough for me to watch sports and attractive/sleek enough that she would be OK with having it around. The PN58C800 is a perfect blend of both. The image quality is fantastic (when hooked to an HD source) and I’ve had virtually no issues with screen glare (the main knock on plasma that I heard while shopping). Of course, if the sun is shining directly on it or you have a lamp arranged to reflect right at you while you’re watching TV, it’s going to cause a problem, but how often are you watching TV under those conditions?
I’ve only had one small issue since buying the TV – the image on the screen seemed to be running at 1.5 speed (people appeared to move unnatually fast, even though the audio was synched with the video). It was similar to watching a DVD on the lowest fast forward speed, but like I said, the audio stayed synched, so it wasn’t actually moving faster, it just appeared to move faster. Fortunately, by turning off the Motion Judder Adjustment (a feature in the options), I don’t have that problem anymore (and the image is still fantastic). With hookups for 4 HDMIs, an optical output for hooking to a receiver, and some pretty cool internet apps, I’m loving this TV!
