The UN55ES8000 55" Class Slim LED HDTV from Samsung has everything but the kitchen sink. It is one of the most advanced LED units out on the market today. Besides the 3D capability, dual core processor, Skype compatibility and clear motion rate 960Hz; the LED provides face recognition and gesture control software.
Voice navigation and gesture control let you say commands and control TV functions with your hands, while face recognition automatically logs you onto your Samsung apps account. This is all powered by the smart performance of a super-fast dual core processor.
Samsung's Smart TV has retooled its smart hub feature to further expand its access to a world of online entertainment. Smart hub enables multitasking and delivers an optimized viewing experience with single point access to the content that's the most important to you. It also allows you to search through hundreds of apps and use the fully optimized Web browser for a seamless user experience.
Beautiful LED images are paired with the exceptional contrast, color and detail of micro dimming ultimate technology. The entire LED is packaged in a sleek, virtually edgeless design, which allows for a bigger picture in a smaller frame.

I just got TV out of the box & it took me few minutes to set it up.Excellent design,clarity,features especially 3d effects. I am first time Samsung buyer but now I am fan of Samsung.Colors,sharpness & picture quality is awesome.As we played 3D movie my children loved it,honestly better than Cinema experience.Built in camera,voice command & gesture control are unique features.If you really want to upgrade your tv don't think twice go & buy it you will never dis-appointed.

Comments about Samsung UN55ES8000 55" Class Slim LED HDTV:
This is my second flat-panel TV that I boughtI love the design and the picture qualitie is outstanding but it has some features built-in that absolutely useless, like gesture and voice control also the second remote control is just waste. I think this is the best TV for the price I paid. Plus I received a $200 gift card with it. Which is great!!! However since I live in Canada, there are many product that I would like to get and B&H will not ship to Canada so the $200 gift card is almost useless to me.

Picture quality is outstanding.Still exploring all the "smart" features.Was able to move my Roku to another tv as no longer needed to access Netflix, Amazon, etc.Unable to use Picture in Picture. Requires an additional programing.Other than that,so far I am completely satisfied.

Great picture quality and easy to setup. Wi-Fi is bit slow though. Very responsive to finer color and contrast adjustments. However the Any-net+ feature that help connect to other Samsung devices need to mature / - not that sophisticated/ fully compatible with all Samsung devices for example E450 sound bar. But I think this limitation cannot associated with the overall quality of the TV

Comments about Samsung UN55ES8000 55" Class Slim LED HDTV:
This is an excellent TV that, if it wasn't for Samsung's insistence on shoddy software, could easily have been the Sony killer of 2012.If you consider it against the Sony 55 850, this TV has a higher contrast ratio and includes 4 3D glasses. The picture out of box is a bit off, but careful calibration will certainly make it shine.What I discovered though is a "feature" called CE Dimming. During dark scenes, the TV makes the scene even darker. Imagine credits looking dull, or stars not being scene in space scenes, that sort of thing. Apparently there was a way to disable CE Dimming through the service panel last year, Unfortunately it was disabled for this years model. What a shame.Will be forced now to return and get the Sony 950.
