SUHD: The Future Is Now!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched extensively for several months before purchasing the Samsung UN55JS8500 SUHD TV. Then when my seven-year-old, 60” Samsung DLP HDTV experienced a cascade of dying pixels, I took the proverbial plunge. Needless to say, I haven’t been disappointed. Picture quality is outstanding! Colors are vibrant, and when rendering black from a high-quality source, pixels actually turn off. Most retailers don’t have 4K televisions probably calibrated so movies displayed in-store often suffer from “soap opera effect.” But when SUHD displays are properly set up, the vibrancy and depth allow for stunning images. Previous reviewers have criticized Samsung’s Smart Hub Tizen OS, but I had few problems using it with Amazon Video, HBO Go, Hulu, Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, or any of the other apps. Although there’s a dearth of 4K content, early adopters have two significant options until 4K Blu-ray players and movies become available: 1) Amazon Prime streams several series in UHD—notably the first two seasons of Orphan Black—and Amazon originals, including Bosch, Mozart in the Jungle, and Transparent. In addition, other series and movies are available for a fee. 2) Several manufacturers, including Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba offer 4K upscaling Blu-ray players. I have the Toshiba BDX6400, which I bought with frequent flyer miles a few years ago. Although this particular player has its issues, the upscaled 4K image on a Blu-ray like Big Hero 6 is gorgeous! Another content option is the CY-SUC10SH UHD Video movie pack that Samsung recently discontinued. This 1TB hard drive includes ten feature films—The Book Thief, Forrest Gump, G.I Joe: Retaliation, Life of Pi, Night at the Museum, Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness, World War Z, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine—as well as numerous documentaries. Best Buy carried this for $50 plus tax at one point, making it a consummate bargain. The major weakness of the JS8500 is the Samsung Smart Control, which is nearly an oxymoron. Although the onscreen pointer can be handy, the remote control’s response can be sluggish, and the lack of numerical buttons proves more of a liability than an asset. I gave up on trying to use the Voice Recognition feature, and the Universal Remote Setup prompted me to consider buying a new Logitech Harmony remote. Also, the E-manual could be better. Specifically, as someone who owns a 3D-ready, DTS / Dolby Digital 7.1 receiver, I wish the manual provided recommendations about connecting multiple sources when using the One Connect Mini with a receiver. Despite these flaws, I’m giving this television a five-star review. Ultimately, you buy a television for its picture, and the 8500's is sublime! Here are the settings I’ve been using, compliments of Amazon reviewer BeyondHD: PICTURE Picture Mode: Movie Backlight: 9 Contrast: 92 Brightness: 45 Sharpness: 21 Color: 53 Tint: G51/R49 PICTURE SIZE Picture Size: 16:9 Fit to screen: ON ADVANCED SETTINGS Dynamic Contrast: OFF Black Tone: OFF Flesh Tone: 0 RGB Only Mode: OFF Color Space: Custom Gamma: -2 COLOR SPACE (R, G, B) Red: 22, 7, 0 Green 26, 43, 4 Blue: 0, 6, 33 Yellow: 44, 46, 4 Cyan: 25, 51, 56 Magenta: 21, 8, 49 WHITE BALANCE (2 point) R-Offset: -2 G-Offset: 5 B-Offset: 0 R-Gain: 0 G-Gain: -7 B-Gain: 3 WHITE BALANCE (10 point) (R, G, B) 10%: 49, 41, 30 20%: 44, 34, 31 30%: 28, 30, 30 40%: 20, 23, 28 50%: 14, 12, 14 60%: 7, 11, 12 70%: 3, 8, 6 80%: 2, 7, 5 90%: 0, 0, -1 100%: 0, 0, 0 PICTURE OPTIONS Color Tone: Movie1 (or Movie2) Digital Clean View: On MPEG Noise Filter: On HDMI Black Level: Low HDMI UHD Color: OFF Auto Motion Plus: Clear (or your preference) Smart LED: Standard (or High for better contrast and deep blacks) Cinema Black: ON

Got an awesome deal on a top tier tv.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was finally time for a new tv. Had a vizio for 7 years. I upgraded to a vizio m-series 50" 4k tv. Did not like at all. 4k picture was ok. Regular 1080 was bad. Sound was bad. I guess you get what you pay for. After reading countless reviews on different sites (rtings was my favorite) and best buy.com I decided on the 55" js8500. I thought it was a good deal at 1799. It became a super great deal a week later when they had an online only sale for 1499. Went back for price match and got 300 bucks back. The tv picture quality is amazing. The little 4k content I've seen looks unbelievable. Sound is great. Playing ps4 is awesome. Looks awesome on the wall, thin bezel makes it look like a picture frame. The only con I give the tv is sometimes it feels like it lags when trying to use smart features or navigating the menu. Not a big deal for me though. The control gets a little getting used to also. There are no inputs on the tv. It comes with a box that you can hook up 4 hdmi, usb, digital audio etc. A single cable hooks that box to the tv. Worked out great for me because I put the box on my av stand and ran all cables there then only had one cable going to the tv. Overall it's a great tv. Would definitely recommend.

Best TV In the House
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did everything before buying this tv, I read reviews on it, compared it to other brands, saw videos on it, but none came close to telling me how awesome its features really were or mentioned all of them. I had to buy it to find out and these are my findings. I can connect my Samsung Gear Circle headphones, Beats Wireless, etc to my TV set while kicking up to 3D all simultaneously. It makes Gaming a whole lot breathtaking. The WiFi Chip is also wireless AC which really takes advantage of my 200mbps internet compared to what a wireless N chip could do. 4K streaming comes really easy! The HDR also makes an incredible image. My mom is able to appreciate her novelas a lot more now and my dad watches his nature documentaries and is blown away. This TV legit gets my brother jealous he ever bought an LG. TBH we used to be a Sony family and then my brother deviated and so did I with Samsung, and I don't regret it. Watching TV is Living it now. Again my favorite features are the 3D, Bluetooth Audio, Wireless AC, and the cool motion remote with voice is just a bonus. It's a really smart buy if you take this model home, just saying. Oh also it is beautifully thin

THE BEST TV OUT THERE SO FAR!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from an LG and will never go back to anything else. SAMSUNG only gets better. The bigger you go the less picture quality you get so I choose the 55" and its awesome all across the board. Sits about 8 feet from my sofa on a 70" fireplace ent. stand and still looks HUGE but still, even the bigger samsungs have that GREAT TOP OF THE LINE PICTURE QUALITY wich caught my eye overall.

Great First LED TV!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After seeing many LED TV's over the past many years being developed, I waited until the 1997 Toshiba TV actually failed to purchase a new one.

Great Picture and adding the Samsung Soundbar and BlueRay Player I am set for a long time to come. Still learning the system but it looks to be a good one!

Awesome TV, Brilliant Colors, Great Purchase!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this TV, its everything as advertised. The upscaling is amazing, the colors, the depth, the warmth, the brightness, all are undisputedly the best I've seen in a TV to date. I love the mouse pointer remote control functions as well as the response time on this TV. The CPUs make this thing fly. The speakers are OK, I will need a sound bar or surround sound speakers soon, otherwise I'm 100% satisfied. I was able to mount this above our fireplace and it looks amazing.

Happy, Happy, Happy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this TV! I had a 40" Mitsubshi Tube that finally bit the dust and was forced to make a purchase. The Samsung picture is crystal clear and colors are real-life and vibrant! I have no issues at all using the remote, which some had reported to difficult to understand, and the silver border on the TV isn't distracting as others had stated. The stand is sleek and makes it so easy to access back of cable boxes, DVR, etc. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Incredible picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to setup. Love the one cord to the mini hub. Had problems with audio sync so I went online and read reviews. I was able to fix the problem on someone's advice other than Samsung. I have the 4 round coaster things but I'm not sure how to attach them. I assume they go on the bottom of the stand. I didn't find any instructions on how to install them

Q: QuestionDifference between this "SUHD" and the "UHD" modelCan anyone explain why I would want to spend around $900 more for this "SUHD" model? There is a "UHD" model. I know it doesn't have 3D but besides that, what am I giving up if I don't buy this "SUHD" version? Thanks!
Asked by PappyB.
- A:Answer Well you're paying for a better panel. 10bit panel vs a 8 bit. The SUHD also has Samsungs version of quantum dot (nano crystals). This technology is used for achieving a larger color spectrum. It is also HDR ready. I've also noticed that the 10 bit panels have lower motion blur. This is calculated by the led response time not refresh rate. It the time it takes an led to change from one color to another.

Q: QuestionCan another remote be used with this TVI have heard multiple complaints on the new remote for this series of Samsung TV's. Can a universal remote be used? Or another type of Samsung Smart Remote? Can I still use my Verizon Fios HD Receiver remote with this TV and control channels through the cable box? I don't want to have to go through multiple steps each time I want to watch regular cable TV. Would be great if anyone has any input or tips on remote usage. My husband is not "high tech" so I need something he can operate if I am not home.

Q: QuestionHow is XBOX One and PS4 on this TV?I have both Xbox One and PS4 and wanted to know if anyone has used this TV for console gaming? Not sure how the input lag would be on COD or BF4. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks....
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I've got Xbox One and bought this tv about 4 days ago. I've only played Fallout 4 on it, but I can tell you that it has been amazing so far. My son has played BF4, and Rainbow 6 as well as a few others and has no negative comments so far. There is a "game" setting, but I haven't tried that yet. We've been playing with the tv at the standard settings. Hope that helps a bit.

Q: QuestionDifference Between 240 and 240HzI details state that this TV has 240 and not 240Hz motion refresh. I had read that 240 motion refresh was not as good as 240Hz, and to be careful when conducting a comparison. Is that true? Thank you in advance.
Asked by DRVanSickler.
- A:Answer This TV is 120hz 10 bit panel. No 4k TV has 240hz panel nor will there be any in 2015 from any manufacturer. The 240 motion refresh is a chip that will proccess it up to 240. Not sure what your trying to ask but refresh rate does not determine motion blur or image trailing. That is determined by led response time. The time it takes an led to change from one color to another. Check out rtings.com for response times.

Q: QuestionCan the HDMI hub cable be extended with a female to female HDMI connector? I need this cable to be 15+ feet. Any other suggestions?I'm running the cable through the wall to a media center that's 15 feet away but understand that the cable to the HDMI hub is only about 6 feet out of the box. Hoping I can just use a female/female connector and extend with another HDMI cable, but that will only be possible if the connection into the hub is HDMI. Open to other suggestions as well; maybe Samsung has a long cable available for these scenarios. Imagine they'd have thought about this one. Thanks in advance for the help/advice.
Asked by SomeGuy.
- A:Answer Buy a longer HDMI cable to avoid possible signal degredation.
