Samsung UN55B8000 (in house with floor to ceiling windows) Would there be a problem with the Samsung UN55B800 in a house that has large windows?

I just installed this set in a room with walls of windows on the east and north sides. It is hanging on a tilt mount and the installer tilted it down to face our seating area such that the reflections are almost gone and with the brightness of this TV it is perfect!

120Hz is a different picture, some like it, some don't. You can always turn it off though. Contrast, however, EVERYONE likes better contrast. Go with the 55" Samsung. I own a 5271F Samsung and I love it. I am waiting for Samsung to pump out a 60 incher before I upgrade.

Yes. My tv is located in a room with an eastern exposure and over 300sq ft of windows (22' ceilings) and I have absolutely no issues with reflections.

I purchased a 750 on 11/29/08 from Amazon and received it the following week. In a very dark room and from the right angle, you can see the image getting reflected through the beveled edge of the frame, but it is hardly noticeable. My wife didn't even see it until I pointed it out to her. It has no effect at all on my viewing pleasure. I have the TV placed on a corner TV stand positioned in a corner, but I don't think it would make any difference against a flat wall.

Overall, Yes. It's a pleasure to watch no matter what the content. I have to imagine it would be fine in anything but the very brightest room conditions. I wouldn't buy this TV for a sun-room or family room surrounded with windows. For any standard room, it's wonderful.

samsung ln52b630 is on a swivel stand so the viewing angle is fixed as in wall-mounted LCDs. you can swivel the HDTV to be at the viewing angle desired! : )

I own the Samsung LN40B650 now and my previous was also a Samsung. My current Samsung has a brilliant picture and my experience is that it is a solid reliable brand. I have a friend who purchased an LG (don't know specific model #) and it stopped working three weeks after the one year warranty expired. (about two months ago now) She decided to get it repaired and its costing her about $400.

Samsung has the UN65c8000 scheduled to be released in July, usually available online a few weeks before they hit the stores.I think the 55 might be to small for 3D in a larger room, waiting for it too

It seems like it is primarily the very slightly larger screen. See http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/samsung-lcd-tv/samsung-un39fh5000.html for more. The 39" model has spectacular picture and sound and has worked very well for us.

I've had both TV's. The B550 replaced my A550 which was broken. The PIP was on A550 but the screen was so small it wasn't worth it. The sound on the B550 is supposed to be better but I'm unconvinced. I think it's worse. But I do admit that the accident that broke my A550 could have caused a problem on the HDMI port on my cable box. I'm not ready to blame Samsung yet. But I have also read reviews where sound was mentioned as an issue.But the picture on the B550 is a lot better.

It works surprisingly well in large rooms. I keep mine in my room, but sometimes I've brought it out to my living room/kitchen area and it covers those areas no problem.

It should not be a problem. But you should call tech support to be sure. I love mine. It works great in our home!

If it is a normal TV less than 60", there should be no problem. We roll it around the church to a number of locations

I am completing my HT set-up too; only the Receiver and TV are left to buy; my Room is 12 x 12 feet; I was told 54 inch would be too much, so I narrowed it to Panasonic 50V10 vs Samsung 50B860. I want to hang it in the wall and the Samsung is sleemer and nice looking and the hook-ups in the back are sideways (so the cables don't stick out), but I get worried about this "buzzing" mentioned in some posts; apparently some people sent it back and the replacements had the same problem; would hate to go through that; I leave in FL (sea level); wanted to buy it before Christmas and getting a headache out of it.

The only reason I can see is that Samsung discontinued this t.v, and with the overall design is not as space efficient as any of Samsungs other dlp televisions. I have this one and also a 720p set by samsung which I bought in 10-2006. Just to let you know, Samsung also has on sale a 50" DLP 720p set for $899.I bought this one, and gave the 720p set to my parents, and to be honest with you I didnt notice a difference at all. If youre just breaking into the HD world, Id suggest getting one of the HLT models from samsung that is on sale now on amazon. You wont notice a difference, save yourself hundreds, and will less likely have problems with the set, as I and many others have with this particular model.

I would have to pull out my manual it has been so long. I don't believe it is but I will say I have not had many problems with it. It is of course going to be where you have it located. Right now sitting in my office looking at it (from an angle) there is a glare along one side where the large window (from the opposite angle) but once I turn it on it is not that noticeable. Again though, it is location. I just noticed this was an old question, sorry, hope it helps someone. I will add that I have no complaints what so ever about this TV, still going very strong after 8 years.
