Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Steve Kindig 4K Ultra HD TV — 4 times the picture detail of 1080p Now that Ultra High Definition has established itself as the next TV standard, TV makers are giving us more models to choose from. Samsung's sleek 55" UN55HU8550 will appeal to those who prefer a true flat screen to the new curved-screen designs. Naturally, you get the super-sharp 3840 x 2160-pixel picture detail that makes 4K images look so stunning. Ready for 4K content right now Samsung made sure that this set's video processing and connections are as state-of-the-art as the screen. The UN55HU8550 is one of the first Ultra HD TVs to include "HEVC" decoding, which means it can display 4K Netflix® content with no additional gear needed. And this TV will be ready for what's coming further in the future, thanks to Samsung's Smart Evolution feature, which provides a goof-proof way to upgrade the TV's inputs, outputs, and processing brains. Think of it as an insurance policy that will keep UN55HU8550 owners up to date on Ultra HD format standards as they evolve. Samsung's UHD Video Pack media player. Samsung's UHD Video Pack (sold separately) lets you instantly make the most of your Samsung Ultra HD TV. Only a little bigger than a smartphone, this 1-terabyte hard drive comes pre-loaded with several full-length movies and nature documentaries, all in spectacular full 4K resolution. Simply connect it to the TV using the supplied USB cable and start enjoying the best picture you've ever seen. True 4K content will continue to be scarce for a while, but that won't keep you from enjoying a remarkable picture. Samsung made 4K upconversion a top priority as they developed the video processing circuitry for the UN55HU8550. Their UHD Upscaling automatically upconverts any signal to match the screen's 4K resolution. All of your current video sources — Blu-ray player, cable or satellite TV box, game console — will look better than ever. Smart TV times 4 The Quad Screen feature divides this TV into four screens. Watch a golf tournament on one screen while searching the web for current standings on another. Then watch a video tutorial to master your swing while navigating your Smart TV panel on the fourth screen. Tablets and smartphones can run circles around many older Smart TVs, but they can't do all the tricks that the UN55HU8550 can. Samsung's speedy quad core processor supports a new Multi-Link feature, which lets you place live TV side-by-side with other apps, like YouTube™ or a web browser — you can browse the web without having to interrupt what you're watching. Besides surfing the web you can do things like multitask or use one app while downloading another. Whether your connection is wired or wireless, you can do a quick web search while you watch movies and TV shows, and enjoy TV while you chat with friends and family online. Along with built-in apps for services like Netflix®, Hulu Plus™, and YouTube™, you can download new ones from Samsung's large selection of apps. Samsung's Galaxy phones and tablets add handheld viewing and control Samsung's AllShare™ Play lets you wirelessly access and stream content from any compatible device. If you have a Galaxy S3 smartphone or Galaxy tablet, you can share movies, photos, and music via the UN55HU8550. Your Wi-Fi® network lets you do things like "toss" photos from your phone or tablet to the screen with the swipe of a finger. Or push streaming video like Netflix movies from device to screen. Sending content from your phone to your TV is cool, and going TV-to-phone is even cooler. Just download Samsung's Smart View app and use the TV View feature to mirror whatever's on the UN55HU8550's screen on your Galaxy S3 phone or tablet. You can leave the room anytime without leaving your entertainment behind. Think of it as a whole-house TV system you can hold in your hand.

So far, the Samsung UN55HU8550 55" 4K Ultra High Definition TV is living up to expectations. Quality of product is as described by Crutchfield. Cannot comment on audio portion of TV - mine is hooked up to an Onkyo receiver and Difinitive Technology speakers (Mythos STS system). This TV replaced a top-of-the-line 46" Sony Bravia LCD (6 years old) that developed a bad panel. Sony does not stand behind their products - which is why I switched to Samsung. This was my first buying experience with Crutchfield - very smooth and professional. Pros: Great video quality, thin profile. Cons: Short power cord. Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Nice TV Written By Investowiz, California on Monday, February 02, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great picture! The picture, although more clear, particularly closeup, is not quite as realistic as the plasma set it replaced. This set at 55" replaced a 50" set. Had I known how close you can sit to this set I would have gone for 60". Pros: Clear and crisp. Thin profile. Easy to mount on the wall. Could easily have taken a larger screen. Purchased with a sound bar. The sound bar (Sonos) improves the sound somewhat but particularly so at higher levels. (More on the Sonos in another review). Cons: Difficult to learn all the ways to use the remote controls. The smaller palm sized control with the voice activation and light pointer is interesting. Get back to me in a couple of months and I'll let you know whether I've mastered it or not. Haven't yet figured out how to upgrade the system as I am told I can by a message on the screen. The color is not as rich as reproduced on a plasma screen. I suspect this has to do with less black definition. I'll likely soon forget the plasma picture. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No My new baby Samsung 4k UN55HU8550 Written By Tank1844, California on Sunday, February 01, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The quickest open and start viewing experience yet! The picture is phenomenal, with bright detailed non blur action. One call to my Crutchfield Advisor and the optical return from the TV, and BAM best sound yet. Very happy! Pros: Ease of start up and fantastic picture. The the tight dark frame is better looking than expected. This TV was researched by me for 3 months. Total winner. Cons: none yet Was this review helpful? Yes No absolute Joy for your eyes Written By Cody Covert, North West Florida on Sunday, January 25, 2015 First and foremost, shipping was quick I ordered this TV, and soundbar I received in 3 working days. Now to the good stuff. If b you want to emurce yourself in stunning visual stimulation, then this TV brings it. Everytime I turn Samsung on I marvel at crisp lifelike picture that is before me. If your looking to step into thee world of 4k Ultra HD this TV is where it is at. My dog even watches this TV if you believe that. I was wanted to see how this TV brought 1968 Star Trek. I actually saw duck tape on the floor of the set. Stuff you could see the detail of and fuzz on the actors shirts. I used Netflix and streaming the show this TV had no problems. Pros: Crisp picture Multi display for those who like to multi task Remote is the coolest thing: like having a laser pointer for the TV. Second remote gives you access like a standard remote. Upscale picture on reg TV. This is where the money is. Unbelievable picture, night and day difference on every channel. Samsung Media HD gives you a start on 4k HD movies and Documentries. Easy to navigate and setup. Wireless sound is great to have keeps it clean and no wires for sound bar. Cons: IR Extender needs to be longer for wall mounted TVs. Refresh rate on reg TV is sometimes noticable. 45 degree plug is something to be less desired for recessed power boxes. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A fantastic 4K HDTV Written By RaviM, Massachusetts on Sunday, January 25, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We had been looking to replace a small, Vizio HDTV for several years. Every year, Black Friday would roll around, but we wouldn't end up pulling the trigger. I was always worried about spending too much on tech that would be a fraction of the price a year later. This year, we figured it was a good time to jump into 4K which will be leading edge for sometime. I looked at nearly every TV in this class in person before setting on the Samsung. This TV stood out due to amazing image quality and a boatload of features. Firstly, the image quality on this TV is amazing. A lot of TV's at this level have an over sharpened appearance, especially when viewed up close. This results in contrasty, jagged artifacts in the image. I think manufacturers do this to increase perceived sharpness at viewing distance, but to me it makes things look pixellated. This is one of the few TV's a saw that boast sharp details coupled with smooth tones. The result is a picture that appears natural and rich. The most comparable picture was LG's OLED TV (much more expensive than this). Samsung has done a nice job packing this TV with SmartTV features. I really enjoy using Netflix directly on the set instead of via Apple TV. The 4K streaming on Netflix is stunning. I've looked at 1080p streaming via Apple TV against the 4K streaming, and you really can see the difference. The remote works well and the TV connects seamlessly with my receiver. Pros: Gorgeous image quality, great set of apps and connected features, innovative "pointer-style" remote, very nice AutoMotion smoothing for fast action and games, very nice industrial design Cons: The ARC supports 5.1 output for media sourced via apps on the TV (Netflix, etc.), but only stereo output for signals coming in from HDMI ports. As a result, you can't use the TV to switch sources if you are looking for 5.1 output. Was this review helpful? Yes No A great buy Written By David, Huntington Beach, CA on Saturday, December 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Th u s tv makes you watch TV as its stunning picture quality is a delight to your eyes. Look no more and get this tv...you will not regret it. Pros: Picture Cons: None 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great picture Written By John, Iowa on Monday, December 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Set up was easy and compared to my older TV the picture is amazing. I really like the 55" size and because it is the 55" it has the Samsung panel. Pros: Blacks are black and whites are white. Backlight feature is great. Cons: Crutchfield does not send a bill of sale which I needed for another years warranty with my credit card company. I was originally overcharged I was originally overcharged $300 which was corrected the next day but now the email sent from Crutchfield shows one figure and my credit card shows another figure. Hopefully I'll be able to get this straightened out. Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN55HU8550 Written By Kent, South Bend, Indiana on Friday, December 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My last T.V. was a Samsung 40" LED and was very satisfied. After visiting multiple big name stores locally and comparing side-by-side different brands, models, prices and sizes I decided on this one. Then I got on line at all the popular sites and did the same. Crutchfield was who I decided to make my purchase with. I have purchased only car audio from them before but was completely satisfied. Their Tech Support I have called in the past is great, quick shipping and on-line product information and resources is also very good. This T.V. has a picture better than I realized it would. Set-up was a snap and took only minutes before it was ready to go, and I am not that "savvy" when it comes to this stuff. I have only had it a short time so I am still discovering all of it's many benefits and capabilities. I would recommend Crutchfield to anyone. I was very apprehensive about having something this large and fragile delivered to my door this close to Christmas but it was in perfect condition when it arrived. Pros: I am satisfied with almost everything. Easy setup, great picture, easy to use. Price before black Friday was as cheep as big box stores anywhere on black Friday. This t.v. up-converts the picture and looks amazing Cons: Cable input/output location. I would prefer another fiber optic out port 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Picture is amazing Written By Debello, Arizona on Tuesday, December 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The picture is amazing when watching 4k programming. The setup is easy and all the connections are well laid out. Pros: Picture Quality Price Features Cons: If the TV is not wall mounted and you have the Vizio sound bar ,it will block the bottom of the TV and IR. Had to add an IR extender and add a base to lift the TV to fix the issue Was this review helpful? Yes No 4K Goodness Written By Lee, Massachusetts on Sunday, December 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We are finishing the basement and got this ahead of time due to the sale. After weeks of research and going into stores to look at the TVs I was interested in, this was the winner. It's as good or better as the Sony we bought a couple years ago (was the best out there at the time). Comparing this Samsung to the Sony we have, and all other TVs out there today, I truly believe the Samsung 8550 series has the best looking picture. I buy from Crutchfield due to their awesome customer service should I ever need it (which isn't often, but great when I do). Of course we set it up and are using it in the bedroom before the basement is done. My thoughts so far: The stand is very sturdy (will be mounted eventually). The TV is nice and thin with a well built feel to it. After tweaking the settings a bit, the picture is nice an clear and vibrant, pretty close to true color as well. I'm not a fan of motion blur, so it gets turned off immediately. Not having the chance to test out a true 4K source, I'm looking forward to it just based on the upscaling ability. Yes, it has been that good. The only issue so far is when the TV is turning on, you definitely see some light bleed, but that's to be expected to some degree since it is an edge lit TV. You don't notice the light bleed in the blacks while a show/movie is playing. I'm not reviewing the "Smart" features because we have no need for them. We use Netflix through Chromecast (or any other app that uses Chromecast). Pros: - Sturdy stand - Quality feel - Best picture and upscaling out there - Great value for your money - Nice thin bezels - Comes with four 3D glasses and batteries (not tested yet, not too interested, but cool to have in case) - Gestures to control TV (not tested either, not needed with universal remote we bought) Cons: - Little light bleed when TV powers on (not noticeable when watching movies) - Smart functions (I'm not into that stuff, just give me a dumb TV and I'll hook up what I want to use and not wait ages for the TV to boot and load an app) - Gestures to control TV (listed in both, I think it's gimmicky and dumb, but others may like it) 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN55HU8550 Written By Roger Y., Ohio on Monday, December 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The SAMSUNG 55 inch 4K TV has a great pitcher there are plenty of HDMI ports for adding all your av blue ray equipment up has all the apps anyone could ask for and with the one direct feature you will be able to stay up to date with all future up grade when they come out and with Crutchfield support you will have it up and running in know time. Pros: Great value best pitcher of all the 4 K TVs on the market simple to use remote that runs all your AV and home theater equipment with one wire hookup Cons: The manual is hard to understand but thanks to Crutchfield's knowledgeable staff set up is a breeze 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Overall OK Written By Voice3, New York on Sunday, November 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Out of the box the color rendering was so bad on this TV I probably would have exchanged it for the Sony if it would have been easier to box up. However, after making some adjustments the image is now much better, but still not perfect (most likely due to my lack of skill making these kind of adjustments). On a positive note, the resolution and image sharpness is fantastic. Pros: -Excellent resolution -Great apps including Amazon Prime, HBO Go, Pandora, and Vtuner -TV design looks very nice Cons: -Color rendering on factory settings is terrible - Images are washed out and flesh tones are unnatural -Using the HDMI/ARC port requires an angled connector if a low profile wall mount is used -Bitstream option is not avaliable for audio out, hopefully this option will be added in future firmware releases... -ARC is a bit flakey -Manual doesn't describe some of the available audio features such as RF vs. Line, and audio out vs. receiver.

Written By Flatworm, the Washington, DC Area on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 This is the best television I have ever seen. Its picture is so clear, the motion so smooth, the colors so realistic, that it is as if you are looking through an open window on the action. Its screen is flat, which I prefer. Its upconversion to 4K is absolutely uncanny, even on SD content. When you view something in native 4K (like Netflix's "Breaking Bad") the effect on the viewer is as if we are actually there. The (active) 3D is the most realistic I ever saw anywhere, including in high-frame-rate iMax 3D movie theaters. When the screen goes dark in an otherwise darkened room, the TV actually disappears -- the contrast ratio appears infinite. The bezel is so thin that the picture seems to float in air. I write professionally and, if I may say so, rather well. But I have no words for how highly I recommend this fine product. I have owned it for six months now and the quality of its picture still absolutely startles me every time I turn the thing on. Please note that this review does not address the quality of the set's audio speakers. I have never used them, instead pumping the sound directly through my high-end 7.2 home theater receiver. If built-in sound quality is a concern to you, you must look elsewhere for comment. I'm not saying it is deficient in any way; just that I have never used it. Pros: Best picture on any TV I ever saw. Smart TV features are comprehensive. More than adequate connectors of all sorts, including wireless via WiFi and Bluetooth. Screen is flat, as God intended. Highly innovative remote control. Intuitive controls. Cons: A bit costly, but just a bit. Probably the best deal, value-wise, on the market. 7 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No UHD TV is really here! Written By Wayne, Kelseyville, CA on Wednesday, October 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When HD first came along, I was a bit skeptical about the real quality of the "new" experience. I was wowed. Now I have been wowed all over again by the Samsung UHD TV experience. It has surpassed all of my expectations! The picture quality is unbelievably sharp and focused--and you feel that you could reach out and touch the real thing! The screen resolution, whether viewing a move actually filmed in 4K or whether watching a regular HD movie or broadcast, is exceptional, thanks to the upconversion features. Bravo, UHD TV and Bravo, Samsung! Pros: Fantastic viewing experiences, whether broadcast TV, Blu-ray or UHD movie pack. Cons: A bit frustrating at times when setting up the internet aspects of the UHD TV and the other required components--UHD capable Blu-Ray and UHD capable AV receiver. But well worth the time and effort! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Beautiful Picture, Excellent Features Written By Rudy, Fort Lauderdale, FL on Sunday, October 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I cannot say enough about the beautiful picture quality on these Samsungs! Even my oldest Blu-Ray titles look fresh and vivid when displayed on this set, and even though their native resolution is only 1080p the TV's onboard scaler does a very competent job of creating a pleasing, rich, gorgeous picture. The guide integration makes finding programming from my cable service so much easier, and scheduling is a breeze as well. The suite of apps is excellent and covers just about any interests an owner may have...sports, 3D, music. I even found myself playing some of the onboard games! Pros: Beautiful picture and excellent features. Cons: None so far. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing TV Written By Barkley, Delaware on Sunday, October 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Image quality is sharp and clear, even when upscaling 720p/1080i/1080p content from the cable box. When playing 4k content from the Samsung Movie Pack or using a 4k upscaling blu-ray player it's just amazing. Please keep in mind that to get optimum picture quality and performance you will need to alter the factory default settings, however there are many recommendations and easy to follow guides available. Pros: Sharp picture Great 4k upscaling Cons: Samsung TV's, this one included, require a lot of configuration to work well with Denon receivers. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Wanted a 4K Samsung because our 8 yr. old HD set was the same brand and had no problems with it. VERY thrilled. I don't have trained eye to know the difference between old/new set except that the 4K one allows me to see the background sharply. This I love.

There was mentioned that they are in the market for a new tv, and will be considering a Samsung. Pros: Quality and sharpness of the picture. 3D glasses a plus and fun to watch 3D movies.

Yes No Samsung UN55HU8550 Written By Steve,Albert Lea, MN, Albert Lea, MN on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This Samsung Ultra High Definition 4K is absolutely wonderful! I have never experienced such brilliant, sharp and ultra clear picture from 720 that comes from my cable provider. Throw in a Blu-Ray disc and 1080 is breath taking. As far as the "smart" TV aspect I haven't explored any of this yet. It sure makes you wonder how much more better 4K definition can possibly be. Pros: Extremely clear picture absolutely stunning! Cons: Being that it is already 2.0 HDMI, it doesn't come with the box for future updates.

The One Connect Box simply plugs into the TV using a single proprietary cable. LED Edge-Lighting w/ Local Dimming: Samsung's LED Edge-Lighting technology w/ UHD Dimming + Precision Black Local Dimming maximizes the contrast between lights and darks to create a picture that is as true-to-life as possible. The television's white LEDs are arranged along the left and right edges of the screen and a proprietary light guide is used to focus its luminance inwards towards the middle of the screen for a more uniform brightness. UHD Dimming: UHD Micro Dimming precisely scans an incredible amount of zones across the entire image and adjusts brightness to deliver deeper darks and brighter whites. It virtually eliminates the "halo" effect and image distortion, so you'll enjoy a crystal clear picture Precision Black Local Dimming: Experience sharper contrast with Precision Black Local Dimming. It dims LEDs behind the darkest area of the picture for greater contrast and darker blacks, while the brighter elements remain as bright as they should be. Clear Motion Rate 1200: Clear Motion Rate (CMR) is Samsung's more comprehensive and accurate measure for how well the LED-LCD TV can display fast-moving images. Previously, motion clarity was expressed simply by the refresh rate, measured in Hz. CMR, however, takes into account all three factors that contribute to motion clarity: panel refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology. CMR is measured by determining the thinnest line a TV can display in a moving image. The thinner the line, the higher the CMR rating, and the clearer the picture you'll enjoy on the screen. Panel Refresh Rate (Hz): Samsung's screen refresh rate (120Hz) significantly improves motion detail and resolution by sampling the image more frequently, leading to smoother, more fluid movement. Image Processor (Auto Motion Plus): Samsung's proprietary Auto Motion Plus image processing technology is faster and more responsive than conventional image processors, as it interpolates intermediate frames to smooth out the image. LED Backlight Technology: Samsung's Edge-Lighting Backlight technology regulates output precisely in synchronization with the screen refresh to lessen the time it is lit, reducing ghosting and motion blur. Auto Motion Plus: Auto Motion Plus removes blur and judder from scenes with large amounts of rapid movement to provide a clearer picture. Auto Motion Plus reduces blur so that action movies, sports and video games have enhanced clarity. Advanced panels and unique backlight technology combine with proprietary algorithms to reduce the response time and yield a more accurate image reproduction with faster onscreen motion. Auto Motion Plus can be set to Clear, Standard, Smooth, Custom, or Off. Wide Color Enhancer Plus + Auto Depth Enhancer: With Wide Color Enhancer Plus, you'll witness a wider spectrum of colors on the TV screen, just like the director intended. You'll enjoy enriched colors while watching your favorite movies, and shows, even if it's older, non-HD content. Auto Depth Enhancer is innovative picture technology that analyzes regions of each image and automatically adjusts the contrast for a greater sense of depth. As a result, everything you watch has incredible detail and appears more natural. Video Inputs: The Samsung Ultra-HD LED-LCD TV offers Ultra-HD, high-definition, and standard definition video inputs.

Auto Protection Time: If the screen remains idle with a still image for a certain period of time (2, 4, 8, 10 hours) defined by the user, the TV's built-in screen saver is activated to prevent the formation of host images on the screen. Remote Support + Self Diagnosis: The Samsung Remote Support service offers you one-on-one support with a Samsung Technician who can remotely diagnose your TV, adjust the TV settings, perform a factory reset, and install recommended firmware updates. Your TV must be connected to your homes wired or wireless network. The Samsung HU8550 series LED-LCD TV also provides a Self Diagnosis menu which allows you to check the television for picture, sound, and signal problems. Picture Test: Use to check for picture problems. If the problem appears in the test picture, select "Yes" and follow the directions on the screen. Sound Test: Use the built-in melody sound to check for sound problems. If the problem occurs during the test, select "Yes" and follow the directions on the screen. Signal Test: An HD digital channel's reception quality is either perfect or the channels are unavailable. Adjust your antenna to increase signal strength. Note: The television only comes with a brief User Manual. A complete instruction manual is built-in into the TV and can be viewed on-screen. Open the e-Manual to learn how to use the TV's many features. Remote/Voice Control Smart Touch Remote Control: The new Samsung Smart Touch Remote Control makes it even easier to navigate the television's entertainment sources, menu settings, and Smart TV features. Improved user convenience has been provided so that you can switch the channel and adjust the volume with just your fingertips while focusing on the TV screen. The built-in touchpad acts as a pointer & mouse so you can navigate menu settings and search for content quickly and easily. You can even activate a virtual on-screen remote controller (w/ numeric keypad, playback controls, and shortcut menu) on the TV which can be operated through the remote's touchpad. It also has a built-in microphone that you can use to give the Samsung TV voice commands. Because the Smart Touch Remote communicates with the TV through wireless Bluetooth communication, it will need to be initially paired with the TV. This means you don't have to point the remote directly at the TV. Programmable + IR Blaster: The remote can be programmed to control satellite/cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and home theaters from other manufactures using the TV's setup menu and the included IR blaster. Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC): This TV is enabled with Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC); a feature that makes it possible to control HDMI-connected Samsung and other HDMI-CEC compliant external devices connected to the TV with ease. With Anynet+, you can use the TV remote control to operate all your compatible Samsung Anynet+ and HDMI-CEC devices that are connected to the TV via HDMI. Anynet+ can control up to 12 compatible external devices (up to 3 of the same type). Note: The Samsung TV also comes with a standard IR remote control. Voice Control: Using the Smart TV Remote's built-in microphone and the voice control function of the TV, your voice is all you need to turn on the Samsung television, navigate menus, and get to your favorite Smart TV content. You can even use only your voice to switch the channel, adjust the volume level, and launch online apps while focusing on the TV screen, which removes the need for a conventional remote control. Interactive Voice Control: Interactive voice control lets you give "conversational" instructions to the TV. You can execute various functions using common voice commands without having to remember specific keywords. Imperative Voice Control: Imperative voice control requires you to use pre-defined commands. "Trigger Words" can be displayed on-screen to use during voice control to help you know what to say. Note: To use Voice Control, you must pronounce words and phrases clearly and correctly in the language (English/French/Spanish) you selected. The Voice Control function can be affected by unclear pronunciation, voice level, or surrounding noise. Speak voice commands 4"-6" away from the remote's microphone, and make sure to speak in a loud (75-80dB) & clear voice, and reduce any background noise in the room. SmartView Mobile App: You can download the Samsung SmartView mobile app (from iTunes or GooglePlay) onto to your Apple iOS (5.0+) or Android (4.0.3+) device for yet another way to control the Samsung LED-LCD TV. If both your Apple iOS or Android device and TV are connected to the same wireless network, your smartphone or tablet will link to the TV automatically where you can use your mobile device like a remote control. The TV can also transfer live feeds to your smartphone or tablet. Main features include: Remote: Your Apple iOS or Android device can work as remote for the Samsung TV and a connected Samsung Blu-ray player or home theater system. TV View: Enjoy TV and other multimedia right from your Apple iOS or Android device that's connected to the Samsung Smart TV. You can watch the same content as on the TV or different content from another input source. Optional Motion Control: To use the Motion Control feature, you must install a proprietary Samsung camera (sold separately) on the TV. When connecting the camera to the Samsung TV, make sure to connect it to the specified USB port of the TV. Other USB ports do not support the TV camera or Motion Control. Keyboard & Mouse Compatible: The Samsung HU8550 series LED-LCD TV will support a USB-enabled keyboard and mouse (both sold separately), which makes web browsing a lot easier. Mounting Options Pedestal Stand: The TV comes with a pedestal stand. The TV is shipped with the pedestal stand unattached. The television weighs 46.5 lbs with the stand. This stand does not swivel. Wall Mounting: The TV has four threaded inserts on the back for use with an optional wall-mount bracket. The spacing of the mounting holes is 400mm (h) x 400mm (v). The threaded inserts require M8 (8mm) machine screws (not supplied). The television weighs 39.2 lbs without the stand. Note: When mounting the TV on the stand or a wall (with optional bracket) leave 4" of clearance on each side of the television and 4" above/below the television for adequate ventilation. Detachable AC Power Cord: The Samsung HU8550 series LED-LCD TV comes with a 5' detachable AC power cord. The AC power cord sits 0.8125" out from the rear-panel. The AC power cord is fitted with a right-angle AC plug that sits 0.8125" from the wall.

"Fred" is out of the closet.
Lucas Cruikshank, 19, one of the biggest original YouTube stars of all time, told the world he was gay in a video he posted Tuesday to — wait for it — YouTube.
Lucas Cruikshank (Kevin Mazur/WireImage)
Considering the video was titled, "Are You Gay?!?", it probably would've been much more surprising if he hadn't come out.
"Drum roll please …," Jennifer begins. "Are you gay?!"
"It's so funny to hear you say it!" Lucas chimes in.
"He's gay," the BFF confirms.
"I'm gay," adds the young man, who turns 20 next week. "My family and friends have known it for like three years. I just haven't felt the need to announce it on the Internet."
Lucas went on to create several "Fred" movies and specials that aired on Nickelodeon before starring in the show "Marvin, Marvin" for the kid network.
Lucas then proceeded to post a screengrab of a Twitter direct message from Cher, proving to the world that he's not messin' around.And there you have it. More Celebrity Features on Yahoo!:

Imagine a science fair with the budget of a Steven Spielberg movie, and you'll have a good idea of what a visit to the MIT Media Lab is like. In October, the Media Lab — a department within the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's School of Architecture and Planning — will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Since its founding, in 1985, the Lab has lived up to its mission as a "place where the future is lived, not imagined," translating complex and emerging technologies into everyday consumer use.
Next time you call up a book on your Amazon Kindle, thank the folks at the Media Lab, where the electronic ink used in the e-readers was developed. You're safer in your car thanks to another Media Lab project, the SeatSentry Smart Air Bag system, which senses the position of a passenger so that the vehicle's air bag can deploy more effectively. Watching video on the web? There's a good chance it's in an MPEG-4 format, for which Media Lab researchers developed groundbreaking sound transmission technologies. Your kids or grandkids are likely benefitting from Media Lab research, too: Hugely popular interactive games such as Guitar Hero and LEGO Mindstorms construction kits were born there.
As for Spielberg, the director owes the Media Lab a debt of gratitude, too. Remember the scene in Minority Report where Tom Cruise's character researches a criminal case, manipulating computer files and images on a giant screen in front of him by simply gesturing into thin air? Spielberg based the scene on technology he had seen in development during a pre-shooting tour of the Media Lab — and the technology (called g-speak) is now being developed by Oblong Industries, one of more than 80 companies that have been spun off from Media Lab projects.
AARP is one of more than 60 sponsors of the MIT Media Lab.

Watching the Bucs vs Panthers and I see Josh Freeman, who last year sucked, is now a very good looking qb, has got me thinking.
They had alot of cap last. Thry got a elite G, elite WR who then opened up the field for the high potential Mike Williams, drafted a damn good RB and a SS.
That's how you build a team, grab top FAs and draft exceptionally, hell they had a new GM to.
Ross needs to see what Tampa did. Fire Ireland Mr. Ross.

Romain Grosjean heads to Shanghai keen to unlock in both himself and his E21 after failing to do so in the first two rounds of the Championship...
Romain Grosjean heads to Shanghai keen to unlock in both himself and his E21 after failing to do so in the first two rounds of the Championship.
While team-mate Kimi Raikkonen stormed to victory in Australia, Grosjean just managed to get inside the points on what was a quiet Sunday afternoon for the 26-year-old.
And although he did improve in Malaysia, edging his much-lauded team-mate, it was still only a P6, which Grosjean is intent on bettering at next weekend's Chinese Grand Prix.
"It's been a little frustrating as I don't think I've shown my full potential yet," he said.
"The first two races were quite difficult for me and I would really like a weekend where I can show what myself and the team can do this season.
"We've got great potential, I just need to unlock it. Hopefully we'll find the key in China.
"I would like to score strong points. I finished in tenth in Australia, then sixth in Malaysia so I'd be quite happy if I finish in second place in Shanghai.
"That or a win would make me very happy!
"Let's see how the car is once we arrive on track and hope there won't be rain again as we know our car does struggle a little in wet conditions."
Next weekend's grand prix will be the first in which Grosjean will use Lotus' new exhaust configuration with the Frenchman hoping it will make the difference.
"We've been making steps forward with performance and that's always what you want. The new front wing was beneficial and I'm looking forward to getting the latest exhaust configuration in China. Kimi used it in Sepang and it was definitely of benefit to the car."
