Amazing upgrade from the original Xbox One

I absolutely love this new version of the system. There is a slightly noticeable bump in performance, it's more compact, and the fact that it plays 4K video is amazing. I would definitely recommend selling the old Xbox One off for this new version if you can.

Great fridge, works great so far.

Our Panasonic microwave recently bit the dust after only 2 years of normal use, so we decided to go with this GE one instead. We had actually had great GE brand microwaves in the past - but, they were all over-the-range ones. This is our first standalone microwave from them, but so far it works just as well. Great options, the buttons are responsive, and it's a compact design for how much you can fit inside of it.
It's only 950w, but it works just like a 1000w. Highly recommend it.

One of my favorites, and this movie went from a 10 to an 11 in 4K HDR. Very surprising for an older flick. Amazing video and sound quality really brings this film to another level. Highly recommended.

Quite the disappointment
on September 23, 2016
Posted by: MrZippo
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have never been so frustrated with an HDTV in my life, and the fact that it is a Samsung has completely shocked me.
My wife and I have been purchasing Samsung HDTVs since 2008, and so far we have had no issues with them. They have generally been built well, last long, and provide exceptional performance. However, with the KS8000, I've learned that Samsung has gotten lazy with their quality control standards.
I've gone through three different versions of the 65" KS8000. Here's how each one stacked up:
1) The first one had about 6 or 7 dead pixels and the back of the TV (the black plastic enclosure) was loose on the corners. I was told to exchange it for a new one, so I did.
2) TV #2 was even worse. More dead pixels than before, the back panel was even worse and bubbling out/coming loose in the top-center, and a new issue sprang up: horrible light bleed. I decided to exchange it for a second time...
3) Unfortunately, this one is exactly like the first one except it has more dead/stuck pixels - the most out of all three (I've counted around 11 so far). I almost feel stupid for exchanging the first one now. No bad light bleed, though (although there is some "standard" lightbleed). So that's a plus.

Pros:
- The colors are pretty amazing on this TV. The 4K quality is also very top notch. For an LED edge-lit, no other TV in its class comes close. Unless you have an issue with broken pixels...
- The Gaming mode is top in its class. This TV is great for gaming as the latency is extremely low.
- SmartTV options are pretty high. Lots of variety as far as programming goes.
- The system settings are fairly robust and provide a lot of customization options.

Cons:
- Build quality of the set it terrible. The back panel comes loose, mostly starting in the corners. I am worried it will just get worse overtime, especially if the set is moved to a new location.
- You are guaranteed dead pixels. Of the three sets, I counted an average of 9 - 10 dead or stuck pixels. This is unacceptable for a TV of this cost.
- The remote is pretty terrible. It's sort of nice for how simple and elegant it looks, but the lack of options that are needed for a remote is not user friendly.

Overall, I'm mostly taking stars off for the hassle I went though in trying to get an optimal version of this set, and of course the build quality. As I explained above, the back plastic panel has issues with coming unglued, specifically in the corners. I am not sure if this is an issue that will continue to get worse. Also, there are stuck and dead pixels in all of the sets I've had. They are very small, so it isn't noticeable at a distance. Just annoying for a TV that is so expensive.
I do not recommend. I should have saved and paid more for an LG OLED.

Wife absolutely loves it

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this for my wife for her graduation. She loves it, and has been using it everyday for the last 3 months. She uses it as an extension of her iPhone, especially when it comes to reading texts. I guess the only real downside is that you can't use the most useful features on this watch without an iPhone connected to it, but it's not a dealbreaker.

Lots of fun, though missing some features

Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is a lot of fun, and we love the physical action figures you can use to play the game. The only problem lies with the lack of features and gameplay. It's a little too simplified in terms of gameplay, and there aren't a lot of playsets.

The only media player we use

Can't recommend the Fire TV enough. This is the best media player on the market, and we've compared it to Roku and Chromecast. We use it more than our Smart TV's apps. Also works pretty well with Playstation Vue if you're using it for TV.
