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...
Overall, we rate the PS51F8500ST as a class act. There are some minor niggles, and the price is certainly high, but its over performance is polished and as a connected proposition this plasma positively shinesTags:Smart HomeBest prices todayRetailer Price...

Terrific picture packed with fine detail and strong contrasts, Natural colour palette, Strong blacks, Impressive range of features, Decent sound
Voice and gesture controls still frustrate, Some rivals produce a more overtly impressive picture
No set is perfect, of course and it's fair to say that in some respects – most noticeably the way voice and gesture control works – there is clear room for improvement. But, given the vast range of smart content and generally excellent picture quality ...
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 ...

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
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...
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...
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: 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 hundr...
