Samsung PS51F8500

 

Samsung piles the heat on Panasonic with this stellar 51-inch plasma TV.

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

Samsung PS64F8500

 

Samsung's first plasma TV of 2013 is a movie-fan's dream come true.

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 interface can be inscrutable

As with pretty much all aspects of Samsung’s latest Smart interface, though, it would have been hugely helpful if Samsung had provided users with a bit more assistance on how to use the voice recognition system, rather than just expecting consumers to...

Samsung PS64F8500 review

 

Samsung's 64-inch TV sees the Korean brand making a big step forward with its plasma picture quality

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

The PS64F8500 is easily Samsung's most aggressive assault yet on Panasonic's traditional dominance of the plasma TV market

Samsung PS51F8500

 

The Samsung PS51F8500 is a top-class plasma TV: it isn't cheap – but you get what you pay for

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

SAMSUNG 64IN F8500 ELITE PLASMA TV

Expert review by : John Archer (homecinemachoice.com)

Samsung PS64F8500 review

 

According to the current AV buzz, plasma TV technology is on its death bed. Having spent a week with Samsung's sensational new PS64F8500 plasma TV, though, I can't help but think that plasma has never felt more alive.

Jaw-dropping 2D images; very good 3D performance; not fazed by ambient light; VOD-heavy Smart hub ; Lows: Minor floating blacks; some dithering during dark scenes; it ain't cheap; rather retro design ; Performance: 5/5

Minor floating blacks; some dithering during dark scenes; it ain't cheap; rather retro design

Samsung plasma series 8 PS51F8500ST review

 

The feature set is a mirror of the brand's high-end LED models, and features twin terrestrial and satellite tuners, opening the door to some nice second screen applications.

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 shines
