Samsung UE55JS8500

Despite sitting quite high up in Samsung's 2015 TV range, the UE55JS8500 is actually the company's entry-level 'SUHD' model.

Mostly outstanding, next-generation picture quality ; Easy-to-use smart TV system ; Plays HDR content, and plays it well

Curved screen can distort reflections ; Backlight clouding has to be worked around ; Doesn't deliver so potent an HDR impact as Samsung's more expensive JS9500 series

Samsung UE65JS8500 review

Best 60in+ TV, Awards 2015. If you're after big-screen thrills, this 4K TV won't let you down.

Pin-sharp picture ; Well judged, nuanced colours ; Great upscaling ability across the board ; User-friendly interface

Stand could be sturdier

An exceptional performer across the resolution board, with stacks of features to boot

Samsung UE48JS8500 review

Entry-level SUHD provides an ultra-colourful backdrop

Superb colour ; Smooth motion ; 4K detail & upscaling ; Good internal audio

Black crush ; Lacks processing speed ; No desktop stand swivel ; Separate connections box

Nano-crystals or quantum dot? Call it what you will; the march of LED-backlit LCD TVs continues on this 48-incher with blistering colour to spare, though this decent value SUHD TV is not quite the finished article.

Samsung UE48JS8500 review - go Quantum for less

Excellent picture quality and a full line-up of smart catch-up services, Samsung's JS8500 series is a great choice for under £1,000

Overall, the Samsung JS8500 is a stunning TV that's still a great buy a year on from its initial release. Its picture quality is superb no matter what type of content you're watching, and its excellent suite of catch-up apps means you've always got...

Samsung UE55JS8500 review

What's better than 4K? SUHD apparently

Subtle and stacked with detail ; Striking colours and contrast ; Tidy sum of apps ; Strong sound

3D glasses sold separately

If you can’t afford OLED (and who can?), this is the 4K telly to get

Samsung JS8500 SUHD TV combines nanocrystals, flat screen

Samsung's new SUHD TVs promise improved LCD color and brightness, and the only one with a flat screen is the JS8500 series.

Samsung UE55JS8500 review

(Rating Hidden)

With ultra HD (UHD) becoming widely available, Samsung hopes to differentiate its premium sets with what it is calling 'SUHD'. Utilising nano-crystal technology, this is claimed to boost the colours you'll see on screen. Although the Samsung UE55JS8500...

Samsung UE65JS8500 (JS8500) Ultra HD 4K TV Review

Samsung's 65-inch JS8500 is a gateway to the future at a price that's right. It also presents us with our first extended experience with High Dynamic...

Great colours ; Good contrast ; Excellent processing ; Tizen Smart TV platform now as good as any ; HDR ; Low input lag ; Future-proof connectivity ; Price now very competitive

Some mild uniformity issues ; Weak viewing angles ; Haloing present with dimming system

For its current online prices, the 65-inch Samsung JS8500 makes a compelling buy for its combination of great pictures, on-point Smart TV features – including 4K streaming services – and it is relatively well equipped to with its HDR support and...

Samsung UE55JS8500 (JS8500) Ultra HD 4K TV Review

Samsung's entry-level SUHD TV has plenty to recommend but it's not quite as good as the higher end models.

Gorgeous design ; Great connectivity ; Tizen UI is smart ; Highly impressive dynamic range ; Ultra-low input lag ; Generally great screen uniformity

Some key apps missing from Tizen ; Dimming system could be better ; Some slight dark screen uniformity concerns

Well it’s a thing of beauty, if you value looks, that’s for sure. The curve of the screen is quite gentle and the base stand swoops in tandem with it to provide a super-sleek design. The JS8500 also features great connectivity with no less than four...
