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.

Trådløs subwoofer, Ekstremt enkel både å sette opp og bruke, Absolutt alt i en boks.
Subwooferen senker kvalitetsinntrykket, Lyden overbeviser ikke verken på musikk eller film.
HT-X810 og dens noe ivrige subwoofer skaper generelt mye trykk og punch, og selv om stemmene av en eller annen grunn faller litt gjennom på film, så er mellomtonen så absolutt til stede og gjør en god jobb på nesten all musikk. Både Seal og Amy McDona...

Soundbar surround system with built-in DVD player and wireless powered subwoofer; eliminates the need for an AV receiver; HDMI output; easy setup; streams Bluetooth audio from compatible A2DP sources; good digital media support.
Virtual surround sound delivers minimal impact; very limited connectivity for additional external devices; the DVD players nice, but a Blu-ray player would have been even better; uneven HDMI video quality.
While weve heard better virtual surround sound, the Samsung HT-X810Ts easy setup and dearth of wires will appeal to those searching for simplicity and a minimalist aesthetic. Specifications: Product type: Home theater system; DVD type: DVD player; Me...
Excellent audio and video quality, Good connectivity options, including optical HDMI, USB, and Bluetooth, Easy setup and auto-pairing with wireless subwoofer, Main unit is easily wall-mountable
Slow input switching, Audio settings can be confusing, Included remote cant control cable boxes, *
The X810 isnt cheap at around $700, but given its extensive features and excellent sound quality, we have no qualms about recommending it wholeheartedly for owners of 40-inch or larger HDTVs from any manufacturer. That said, wed like to see future it...
Stylish, Easy to setup, Wall-mountable, 5.8GHz wireless, Good vision
Overwhelming amounts of bass, Speaker rattles at mid to high volumes, Bluetooth doesnt work that well
The Samsung HT-X810 is a breeze to set-up and looks great sitting underneath your TV, and while picture quality is great, the sound slightly disappoints. ...
