TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
The Samsung HT-X810 is a 2.1 wall-mountable home theatre system with a 5.8 GHz wireless subwoofer. Among its primary features are; 1080p DVD upscaling (slot-in DVD-player included), good connectivity including Bluetooth, USB, HDMI, component and optical video.
The system generally produced excellent audio and video quality in the tests, though it sometimes clattered at extreme volumes. This system is not a surround sound system although it has a virtual surround sound mode, which wasn’t much appreciated in the reviews.
The reviewers have different opinions regarding the included slot-in DVD/CD-player. Some say it works good when upscaling DVD-video to 1080p, others wasn’t very impressed by this function. Otherwise there were no complaints regarding the DVD/CD player.
The system was easy to setup but the editors complained about the remote control having too small buttons and the menu navigation being complicated to navigate. Other operation problems noted was the long time it took for the system to switch between audio sources (up to five seconds).

TestSeek's Conclusion
Although Samsung HT-X810 can’t be labeled cheap at a price tag of $700, most reviewers are very positive. They liked the design, connectivity and the sound produced by the HT-X810 system. On the negative side, the editors weren’t as impressed by the built-in DVD-player and the long time it took to switch between audio sources.

Compact wall mountable sound solution; Good punchy sound; Wireless subwoofer makes for good flexibility; Wide range of input sources
Surround sound effect only adequate; Video performance from DVD could be problematic
I was a little concerned about the video performance from this unit, but the sound was quite good in view of its size and cost. The wireless subwoofer in particular was very useful, allowing an escape from the long cables that subwoofers otherwise inva...
