The editors didn't like
Lighter black levels and imperfect screen uniformity hamper its picture significantly
Especially for such an expensive TV. Samsung charges too much for extra features that are largely unnecessary and poorly implemented
Voice
Motion
And touchpad controls are unreliable. Screen shows significant light bloom on the edges. Only three HDMI ports

Excellent colour gamut out-of-the-box, Reference colour gamut after calibration, Reference greyscale after calibration, Excellent video processing, Impressive array of calibration controls, Well designed and responsive menu system, Well implemented Smart
Some clouding on the backlight, Some minor undefeatable noise reduction, Very occasional stutter in image processing, Poor performance with off-axis viewing, HDMI inputs too near the edge of the screen, Only 3 HDMI inputs, Voice and motion controls are a
It's no surprise that the 55ES8000 works extremely well as media player and we had no problems with anything we threw at it using a variety of media servers including Samsung's own Smartshare software. Owners of mobile devices – either iOS or Android - ca...
The UE46ES8000 is a bold stab at redefining the high-end TV market, one that almost pays off. Even without its voice and motion control party tricks, this would be considered a highly desirable 3D TV, with a strong online proposition and characteristic...
The Samsung UN65ES8000 costs a lot more than other series made by the same manufacturer. But the high price you will pay is going to show itself in this TV's performance, design and other attributes. So if you are someone who wants what's best in LED TV ...
The Samsung UE55ES8000 is a high quality edge LED LCD HDTV. It produces good black level depth in dark rooms, and blacks that look exceptionally inky and deep in brighter environments. Crucially, the review sample we received had significantly less screen...

The new Samsung ES8000 is the first television that can be controlled with speech commands and hand gestures. While there is room for improvement in the implementation, it does indicate the direction in which (high-end) televisions will go in the coming...
Abstract: But now the dust is settling, and the TVs are showing up on test benches, and to me, at least, in retrospect all the brouhaha seems sort of silly. The model in particular that showed up on HomeTechTell's test bench is the top-of-the-line (for its size, a...

Abstract: The amount of extra features and interfacing options on this TV are quite staggering: a traditional remote, Samsung's new smart remote , and an IR blaster all come in the box. Outside of the traditional remote infrastructure, the ES8000 series features vo...
Accurate colours: average delta E of 3.1, Effective motion interpolation function, Remote with builtin touchpad is particularly practical, Low power use: 107 watts
Glossy screen: reflections are a problem, Tight viewing angles, More 3D crosstalk than in the D8000, Disappointing contrast: 1960:1, The model we tested was prone to clouding
The Samsung ES8000 is ahead of its time. While there's still room for improvement in the motion and voice control systems, it's the first TV out there to integrate this kind of function. And, on the whole, they work reasonably well. Image quality, on t...
