Samsung UE55F8000 review: Samsung's UE55F8000 has a terrific smart TV system

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 movies in the evening, you'll get the same features, except with better picture quality and at lower price from Samsung's slightly chunkier F8500 plasma. Until its 4K TV arrives in the UK, the UE55F8000 sits at the top of Samsung's 2013 TV lineup. Of course, this means it's packed full of features, including -- deep breath -- voice and motion control technology, a smart TV system that supports all the major UK terrestrial TV catch up services, micro-dimming for deeper black levels, dual tuners for both Freesat and Freeview and active 3D support.

The Samsung UE55F8000 is the jewel in Samsung's market-leading TV crown. It boasts a cutting-edge feature set which includes second-generation voice and gesture control, updated smart-TV functionality and a battery of picture technology refinements. See all digital home reviews .

Samsung UE55F8000 review Review

As an overall package, the UE55F8000 is just about the best LED screen I've come across. Its motion- and voice-control features are still not much more than gimmicks, but the smart TV system is top notch and the set's picture and audio quality is very strong by LED standards.

The F8000 Series is Samsung's top-shelf 1080p LCD television for 2013. Consequently, this TV is loaded with all of the company's best technologies and features. I'm especially happy to see the return of local dimming to this edge-lit LED model.
