Excellent dynamic range, Great shadow detail, Highly impressive in a bright room, Reference Colours after calibration, Almost reference greyscale prior to calibration, perfect following, Class leading smart features, Gorgeous design, Incredibly clean imag
Minor buzz with brighter scenes, Mild floating blacks with Black Optimiser engaged, Sometimes images just look too clean and pristine, Input Lag is too high for gamers, HDMI inputs are too close to the edge, Base stand might be a sticking point in some se
I had some issues with the Samsung's 3D performance, though it's likely to satisfy all but the most rabid 3D purist. But 2D on the set was a joy to watch, with rich color, superb resolution, and subjectively fine black levels and overall image saturation...
Great brightness levels (for a plasma), Excellent contrast, detail, colour accuracy, Samsung's class-leading Smart TV tech
Relatively high power consumption, Panasonic's plasmas are cheaper
If you can afford the $20 a year in extra power, Samsung's top plasma TV is by far the best choice for watching high quality video. We think it's equal to Panasonic's best plasmas for black level and overall contrast, with an extra boost in available brig...
Spectacular picture quality, Remarkably sophisticated Smart TV engine, Loads of video streaming apps
Minor brightness instability during dark scenes, Smart interface can be a bit confusing at times, Minor motion fizzing with brightness levels set high
The genuinely spectacular Samsung PS51F8500 is another potent reminder that if plasma's days really are numbered, the AV world will be hugely worse off. And it's also proof that plasma really is capable of giving LCD a run for its money even in bright roo...
Stunning black levels, Great shadow detail, Brightest plasma yet, Spectacular color, Attractive design
Expensive, Over-featured, Steep learning curve
Until we've thoroughly tested the Panasonic VT60, we can't declare any winners in the battle for this year's best TV, but we can say that Samsung's F8500 is going to give the Panny a serious run for its money. Though the F8500 is a little rich on novelt...
Bright, dynamic pictures across both 2D and 3D sources; Excellent smart TV features; Deep black levels; Good audio quality
Motion and voice control features still aren't really worth having; Upscaling could be better
The improved voice and motion control features still aren’t very useable, but the Samsung PS51F8500's smart TV system is excellent, and picture quality is so impressive it's now largely on a par with Panasonic's highly regarded VT series. All in all, i...

The Samsung PNF8500 series exhibits outstanding picture quality with a class-leading bright-room image, exceedingly deep black levels, very good shadow detail, highly accurate colors and superb off-angle and uniformity characteristics; mind-boggling featu
Extremely expensive, correct film cadence requires sacrificing some black level, remote lacks numerous direct commands, imperfect cable box control, consumes more power than LCD TVs
Samsung's best-performing TV ever, the PNF8500 series pushes the plasma picture quality envelope, especially in bright rooms.
That may sound like effusive praise, but it's the truth. Within the realm of picture quality, Samsung's F8500 is absolutely awesome. The brightness this plasma achieves is worth praise alone, but its deep black levels and the accuracy of its colors are so...
Abstract: The F8500 series is Samsung’s 2013 flagship plasma TV line and is available in three different sizes, 64” (PN64F8500), 60” (PN60F8500), and 51” (PN51F8500). There’s no doubt that these are nice TVs, but they're also extremely expensive (over $4k for th...
Abstract: Claiming to be as bright as an LED TV and with 40-60% improvement in black level, Samsung's latest F8500 Series is full of surprises.It's top of the range, it's smart, it's 3D and it's Full HD – and it's downright impossible not to notice among the hundre...
