Samsung - 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) - LED - Curved - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV

I was looking for a replacement TV and I already have a couple of Samsung’s I’ve been happy with. I have a 1080p 32 inch for my home office and a 55" 6300 model in the bedroom. So I thought I would get this 65" 6500 curved version, it was on sale and I had a 10% of coupon. Got this home and it’s a great TV, colors pop and it looks great. However something in the background of mind ws unsettling, it seemed to blur on motion, not unwatchable but still noticeable and the colors while great didn’t pop, really pop. I was out and about the next day and bast another BB store, they had the 55inch 6500 on display and 55” 8500 right above it, both playing the same feed. The 8500 refresh rate is double that of the 6300, the 8500 HDR is 10bit the 6300 is hr1000 not true HDR. There was subtle differences, the reds and greens where a lot brighter, they popped, the blacks had a lot more detail in them and the motion blur was a lot better. Had you not seen them together you would not notice, however once seen you can not unsee, I ended up exchanging the curved 65” 6300 for the curved 65” 8500 and I’m really happy I did. There is a lot of debate on flat or curved, Samsung add some extra features like depth enhancement, again if you can see the same model side by side there is enough deference to justify the extra cost which is about $100 now. The display is crisp and clean, do some google research to set up the best picture you really can make a difference. Out of the box it as the soap opera effect which is too sharpe and false looking. I have a Xbox One S plugged in as a 4k HDR Blu Ray player and the movies are great, bright detailed. For what this cost sub $1k this is a great display and you will love it, if you can afford spend that little extra get the 7 or 8 series it just as that edge.

We love this TV. It's a great deal for what we got. It's very heavy so we chose not to wall mount. We could not load Playstation Vue on it, so we ended up getting an Amazon HD 4k fire TV connection. The voice control is reliable for TV specific functions but is too much trouble most of the time because it doesn't play well with apps. If you use Direct TV, it probably will take care of most of your needs but its easier to manually navigate when you are an app heavy user. We Have it hooked up to an HD antenna and the HD local channels look amazing. We bought it for my husband's mancave and he isn't prone to motion sickness, so it works well for him. I enjoy watching it too when he has something he wants to share but I am prone to motions sickness, so I have had to adjust to it and watch it in short intervals. It's not actually 3D, but it is definitely more dementional than a flatscreen. There is a way you can disable the qualities that supposedly make people dizzy or sick but we tried it and I still don't feel great when I watch it. We knew this might be a problem, though, so it's not our main TV and, as I said, my husband can watch without any issue. It hooked up to an alternative brand sound bar without any issue and functions perfectly. The directions are terrible. The directions are not comprehensive and assume a basic understanding of how smart Tvs work so, if it's your first smart TV, you just have to explore it like you would a new pad and it's easy enough to figure out. We love it and would definitely purchase again.

This was my first curved TV. Already own a 65" flat screen Samsung for the man cave and love the picture on that one. Upgraded the living room and was worried about the curved TV and not always sitting directly in front. Couldn't be more happy with picture, sound, and side viewing. NO glare like others have reported in reviews. My wife absolutely loves the quality of the picture and the curved TV. If you are on the fence, spend the extra money and go curved. You won't regret it. For this particular model: Picture is very high quality on even the standard HD channels. Sound fills the room and right now don't even see the need for a soundbar. Love the little Samsung remote and this one even lets you speak into it. The Samsung apps are easy to use and it even recognized I have Xfinity (Comcast) and I can control Xfinity from the Samsung remote. Streaming via Netflix and Amazon is very good - no lags or delays. I do use the hard-wired Ethernet connection which I'm sure helps. Pro's: Picture quality, sound, remote, Samsung software Cons: None This WILL NOT be my last Samsung product. Great TV at a great price.

I read the reviews before buying this TV as a Christmas gift for my husband, and figured I couldn't go wrong, I mean for $800 how could I pass it up. I'm usually pretty diligent in researching technology, but this one slipped by me, and I solely depended on reviews. On the good side, the really good side, I got a great price on a 65" smart TV. This replaced our 42" flat screen, so we're happy with the size. I love the look of the curve too, it's sleek and modern looking. My failure comes in not looking through the specs well enough. This TV is only 60 mhz refresh rate - the colors and overall picture quality just flat out suck. To get the look that we wanted, that rate needs to be way higher, like 240. I can't blame the TV, it's my fault for not doing my due diligence on research. BUT - I owe it to future buyers to BEWARE - if you want an amazingly crisp and clear picture, this is not the choice for you. Spend the extra money. We watch a lot of TV, so this is an issue for us. We'll be bringing this TV out to the camp and getting something that'll suit our needs better since we're just passed the return period.

This is a perfect TV if your ambition is to watch movies, TV and most sports. Setup is simple and quick. Sound is outstanding, especially when combined with a decent soundbar. Picture is sharp, vivid, and stunningly beautiful. You can pay a lot more for faster refresh rates, but the experience of watching the Triple Crown horse races and basketball finals was perfectly acceptable. We don't play video games. So, no comment on that. To get a significantly better TV, you will pay significantly more. After researching the field, I found this TV to be the best value for the purposes I intended to use it.

I know some people are not too thrilled with curved screens. I debated about this for some time, but after this TV went on sale (closeout, actually) my wife and I decided to take the plunge... we got a really good deal on this and now that we have it, we love it. Excellent picture, good viewing from the sectional - all parts of it. We originally considered the 55", but realized that size was just too small for us. 65" was much better for us. The price for the 65" on sale was a motivating factor, but the picture quality is certainly great for us. The kids love to watch movies on this, and the Xbox games also look great. So, I love this, think very highly of this. Does this TV have every HD feature? No. Did I want to pay for every HD feature? No. But, did I get a good deal here? Yes. Am I happy? Absolutely.

First let me start by saying I love my 65" UHD curved TV. Great color & definition. Best TV picture I have ever seen but the Geek Squad service plan is super frustrating if you need service. I was just on the phone for over 45 minutes and spoke to at least a dozen people, transferred about 10 times, hung up on 3 times and all this for a remote control that stopped working. I would think again about spending $330 for a service plan that puts you thru the mill when you need service. I would highly recommend the TV but not the service plan.

Picture was great, still would catch glare from odd angles. Was completely satisfied UNTIL a small hairline crack appeared, wiped the screen thinking it was a piece of hair, then it immediately became a full vertical crack. Turns out these sets have a problem with thermal expansion due to the fact it's a flat glass display, which is stressed in order to achieve the curve. Geek squad was not helpful, lousy actually, the first three calls. Samsung don't care. They all claim it's physical damage, even though it's internal. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. On any curved set, any Samsung product, or the geek squad warranty.
