    Why does my Samsung TV keep turning on and off by itself?
    mirian
    over 1 year ago
    The most common reasons for the TV to turn on by itself is having foreign matter around the power button of the remote control, external devices connected to the TV, and your settings. If the power button is stuck, clean the remote control.

Samsung is first out of the gates with their much anticipated F8000 3D LED LCD TV, can it life up to the expectation?

Samsung sets the bar high in 2013 with a 55in set that melds a wealth of innovative features with sensational pictures and slick quad-core operation.

Samsung UE55F8000 review

There's more to Samsung's 8000 Series LED than its glam design and Smart talents The UE55F8000 hits the ground running with its design, which combines an on-trend slender bezel with a dark, glassy finish and built-in camera. However, other designs in this roundup are spectacular too, so the UE55F8000’s styling alone won’t be enough to carry Samsung’s set to victory.

The Samsung H8000 LED TV is a great TV, but if you don't need the curved screen, go for a cheaper model, like the H7150. It has about the same picture quality.

REVIEW: Samsung UE55F8000 3D Smart TV - Tech Digest

Samsung's latest edge-lit LED TV has every conceivable feature you could care to find in a modern television, from solid 3D performance through to voice controlled apps and an intelligent, attractive EPG. It's also pretty darn expensive. Are its many bells and whistles worth the extra cash? Read our full review to find out!
