Spectacularly bright yet also contrast, rich pictures, outstanding suite of online video services, potent audio system.
Some dithering noise in dark scenes, occasional brightness 'jumps', smart gesture still needs some work.
s Samsung 8500 - A Few Minor Flaws Despite being a glorious home cinema TV we'd install in our own movie rooms in a heartbeat, the Samsung 8500 isn't wholly flawless. The push for extra brightness, for starters, has caused a couple of minor distractions. ...
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...
Remarkably bright for plasma, Excellent black levels, Powerful smart TV platform, Very good sound quality
Dithering in dark areas, Smart system can confuse, Minor initial image retention, Minor 3D crosstalk interference
Buying Guide Active vs passive 3D The Samsung PS64F8500's pictures are a revelation in both 2D and 3D mode, especially when it comes to their brightness and resistance to ambient light. Samsung's smart TV engine is miles ahead of the pack in terms of its ...
Great picture quality, More features than any other HDTV, Breakthrough performance in welllit rooms
Expensive for a plasma TV
The Samsung PN60F8500 is a landmark plasma TV. Picture quality is stunning -- with black levels separated from the best performing plasma TVs ever made by the tiniest of margins, and at the head of this year's class. More important, picture quality is jus...

Although I've only reviewed a handful of HDTVs for Tom's Hardware, I've spent many years testing, calibrating, and comparing hundreds of displays of every conceivable type. For pure image quality, nothing surpasses plasma in my opinion. I am aware of what...
With close to six months of use in my den, I can easily say that Samsung's PN64F8500 Plasma Smart TV is an excellent TV with pretty well every feature any buyer would appreciate. If you are looking into buying a large TV that will not have to be upgr...
The Samsung PN60F8500 is the best Samsung HDTV we've ever reviewed. Its spectacular performance places it in the stratosphere of the finest 2013 HDTVs, and therefore, by extension, one of the best-looking TVs ever. Due to the aforementioned combination of...
F8500 offers all of Samsung's Smart TV features, including the questionable implementation of voice and gesture controls that we find very gimmicky. Samsung's 2013 Smart TV platform has improved a lot, including some apps, but the overall user experience...
Superb picture quality, Wide variety of smart TV apps, Ability to download lots more apps, Upgrade capability via plug-in box, Active shutter 3D glasses with Bluetooth/RF sync, Built-in camera for Skype, Built-in Wi-Fi, Content streaming to Samsung smartp
The whole remote control system leaves much to be desired (touch pad, gesture and voice control), No analog audio output/headphone output (seems to be a trend these days), Non-rechargeable 3D glasses come standard (rechargeable ones cost extra)
While Samsung touts the F8500's high-tech features, such as the touch pad remote, the facial and arm/hand gesture recognition and voice recognition, for me these features weren't nearly as compelling as the overall picture quality I experienced. Samsu...

Very dark blacks. Accurate colors that pop. Strong feature set. Good 3D depth.
Pricey. Not energy-efficient. Funky remote
The Samsung PNF8500 series is a top-shelf plasma HDTV line that delivers outstanding color quality, solid 2D and 3D imagery, and very dark blacks. You'll shell out some big bucks for this model though, and you may want to pick up a universal remote while...
