Looking for a Samsung luxia un55b8000 - Blu-ray Forum

I've been looking all over for this model. Everyone is advertising that they have it, but then they're out of stock. I need a good price, but also someone honest. Any suggestions?

I have not seen the 8000 but The 7000 and the 7100. This is just my 2 cents stay clear from all the new led backlight tv's. They have bad flashlights and clouding. Wait for the new 9000 which uses local dimming should be out in aug. Or try to grab the old 950 which is a good tv.950 has better blacks but not by much. I went a smarter route and bought a 52b750 for 2100.00 from amazon.com shipped and taxed which is about 1600.00 cheaper then the 8000. My panel is free of flashlights and clouding and the pic is alot better them my 55a950 the I returned becasue I did not see a 4 grand pic. I'll keep my 52b750 for about 4-5 years and see what's out there. Amazon has a coupon out there 400.00 off the ln52b750 which drops it down to 2064.00 shipped and tax with a 30 days to return it if you don't like it.

cnet says it has better blacks then every tv out there besides the 950 or the xbr8.
