Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV

I bought this TV because the overall picture quality is good and it's unbelievably thin. However, there are some inherent problems with the set which are driving me nuts.

The backlight is extremely uneven at the corners. In dark scenes (like credits, or the entirety of letter-boxed movies) you will see little searchlights coming from the corners. Once you see it (and you will see it), you won't be able to NOT see it.

The autodimming feature is also poorly implemented. Again, in credits or scenes where there is more dark than light, it will turn the backlight down for "better contrast". However, when the TV changes its mind about the scene, the previously dim white areas will pop bright white. It looks very strange.

I've read that there are "workarounds" but some of them involve going into the service menu (which apparently voids the warranty). This TV should work better in dark scenes for the price.Get more detail about Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV.
