Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’ve likely heard about the Samsung T. V . pictured above.   This beauty of a machine is making major waves. . . and for just reason.

Let’s explore why so many across the nation are buying this unit up like it’s going out of fashion.

My wife and I bought this bad boy last week from Amazon, and it arrived in 4 days flat with their great delivery service. We decided to hang it up on our masonry fireplace. We chose a Sanus tilting mount for the job, which was surprisingly easy to attach to the masonry.

The 850 is special because it’s super thin. 1. 9″ at it’s thickest point. This makes wall mounting especially attractive. Throw in the excellent picture, and I’m on cloud nine. After one day of enjoying it, I say that while I’m impressed with the clarity of the 120Hz feature, my wife and I keep the setting set to “low”, which introduces a higher framerate, but not so high as to be actively distracting. For us, the “camcorder-like” feeling of the full 120Hz is best for sports, as opposed to movies/tv. Bottom line: The Samsung LCD’s are amazing to begin with, and the “8″ series, given it’s thin frame, adds some extra style. Keep that in mind when your comparing this model to all the others, including the 9 (950/960) series which has a superior LED lighting engine, but is considerably thicker than the 8 (850/860).
