Samsung UE48JS8500T

Advantages: Picture quality, color rendering, 4K No glare or flare. The curved screen adds reality. Responds quickly. When watching 4K and even in 3D, an unreal experience is much cooler than any cinema. The sound is good, better than the 6-7 series. Conveniently connect flash drives / external hard drives.

Disadvantages: Subtitles and 3D are enabled on-screen in a pop-up panel. And it is to these points that you still need to wind to the right, because everything does not fit the width of the screen. And this is inconvenient, I did not find how to set up items in this panel. Not all 3D movies / clips are playable. 3D glasses need to be purchased separately. Well, videos in 4K weigh a lot, but this is not a drawback of the TV.

Comment: I studied and read a lot before buying this TV. I quickly decided on the Samsung brand. Then I saw a live 4K picture in the store, and realized that I needed to take 4K, tk. progress is going on, and the TV is not bought for a year. I compared different series and realized that I needed to take the 8th or 9th (but it is already more expensive, and I personally did not notice the difference with the 8th). Then the question arose of taking a model of this year or last ... The difference in price is rather big, and the only obvious difference is the presence of a curved screen here. But in the end he decided to buy a fresh model and did not regret it at all. My wife and I were stuck for 3 hours watching 4K videos on YouTube. But even on BDRip films, the difference in picture quality with a regular TV is also noticeable. We were very pleased with the purchase!

Advantages: I would like to note the Samsung service team on the phone and in my city - the guys are great, they are impressive, they will always listen and help to sort out any question. On TV - Perfect color reproduction. Good black color.highlights, where necessary, the color will make the picture more saturated - the most beautiful and in general it has a lot of bells and whistles to improve the image. Sound 4 speakers, 2 of them are subwoofers. HDMI, USB, etc. connectors brought out in a separate block. The TV does not heat up compared to other models of the D series , ES (the back wall is very hot), just barely warm, I'm not worried about overheating. Anti-glare surface. The bluetooth remote control can work under the blanket)) finger batteries last for a long time. The Tizen operating system. ADDITION for 8 months never freezes, it works enough briskly in applications.3d simply Awesome very clear picture quality is excellent. Plays 4k movies from an external hard drive.

Disadvantages: No glasses included. I changed the first TV under warranty because there was a light pixel on board and highlights, I changed it to another broken pixel on the matrix, although initially it was not there after 7 days of use (it is barely visible only from half a meter and only on black, the room should be pitch dark, you won't see it in the daytime)) ADDITION: If you decide to wipe the matrix, then think twice about how to do it more gently, because most likely you have 4 places at the edges at the bottom and top at random unpleasant highlights will appear.

Comment: In general, the TV is incredibly good, and the transition to 4K was definitely worth it, and it was on the SUHD model. I think passive cooling of the processor is good in it, in some models they put a cooling fan, which, as it were, does not really want to wait until it whistles or does not want to stop at all. There is no dusty screen effect, this is when it seems to you that you need to wipe the TV, because because of the dust you think the image is so cloudy. ADDITION: For almost a year of use, the image is still surprising, I have 4 pairs of 3D glasses and no one has ever complained how much they watched I specifically ask myself no even a hint of discomfort, my eyes after 2.5 hours of watching a movie did not get tired at all, for a huge 3D plus the quality is excellent. The sound of 2 subwoofers is not that bass, but still the sound is much better than say in ue48h6650, in In general, for the sound quality 5. Finger batteries are still standing, the TV shows that the charge is full in them)), for those who do not know how, hold down Return and Exit at the same time.

Advantages: Excellent screen, black color is not inferior to OLED, amazing color reproduction. No glare, dead pixels, uneven backlighting. Powerful percent, nothing slows down. All 4K movies and videos that I come across are played without brakes.Very good sound

Disadvantages: Remote control without buttons with numbers. By itself, it is not bad, but when, in order to turn on a channel, for example, 411, you need to call the on-screen menu and dial the channel number with the on-screen buttons, then this is sadness-pichal. There are no HDMI ports on the TV itself, only through the supplied Connection Kit In new firmware, starting from 1440, the installation of widgets from a flash drive was blocked. Now only through the store. When using the pointing stick, the cat tries to catch the cursor. May scratch the screen.

Comment: In general, the TV set pleases. 4K content is still scarce, and even less worthy of attention, but FullHD movies look more than good.

Advantages: The first TV in life that meets the requirements of life itself. Filming from a decent Full-ND camcorder revealed in all its glory, which even a computer did not provide.

Disadvantages: What do you mean it is not heated? Quite a warm screen! Try to connect bluetooth headphones, you will curse the engineers who brought 4 (!) HDMI connectors out, but I don't even need one. Ergonomics is zero!

Comment: I got an exhibition copy and, judging by the dust on the cables (from the surfaces, apparently, they washed it periodically), it was exhibited for a long time. But with a decent discount and free check on everything that is supposed to. A month later, the remote control stopped opening the icon for selecting the size of the picture. There was no time to figure it out, and after two weeks this function suddenly recovered. Remembering what I changed in the settings, I came to the conclusion that I simply moved the icon with the pointer along the menu ribbon to a more convenient place. And moved it last time too! Is this really the reason? Okay, happy. Two weeks later, the picture stopped changing in size again, although it did not touch anything. I tried to rearrange it again - no result. So that is not the point. Actually, in three months I have not mastered TV: business trips, foreign travel, business ... Programs switch and okay! But then I tried to return at least the factory settings. Where is there! One way is indicated in the manual, but I don't have these bookmarks in the menu! MENU - SUPPORT ... There is no support! OUT! The TV guide from the side also does not open. But the master updated the software when he connected the TV. I'll figure it out, of course, I'll call in support. It also became clear that the product must be registered ... Longing and sadness! Well, I don't have time for this, I earn money! In general, this device takes away all the free time from the owner if you want to bring it to a decent condition. ADDITIONAL review after two years of use. The remote control no longer causes any problems. It's just that when it starts to glitch, I disconnect the TV from the network for a while. The batteries in the remote control lasted for two years. Neither the screen heating nor the picture quality deterioration is observed. ADDITIONAL review after three years of use. The remote control is completely dead, I fight with it every time I switch channels. The saddest thing is that there is no other way to change the regime on TV. If this device fails completely, then the TV can be thrown away. Otherwise, everything is fine: both the picture quality and the heating of the screen are normal.

Advantages: Stunning quality image, now photos and videos from the DSLR are revealed in a new color! Just class! Convenient control panel. Doesn't slow down at all, it works quickly and there is enough built-in memory for programs. The sound for TV is very decent! The curved screen is also a cool invention, it fits better into the interior and adds reality to the image. Remote block from TV for connecting all cables!

Disadvantages: no 3D glasses included! But you can choose yourself as you wish !!! Few 4K content, but everything is ahead) I did not notice the rest)

Comment: Very happy with the purchase! And the family too!

Advantages: Gorgeous and natural color reproduction, stylish design (the 8th series is much more pleasant than the 9th - the frame is thinner and not so deliberately striking), excellent contrast, clear sound (when you connect the branded curved subwoofer - at least take tickets for viewing), quite a convenient remote control , smart - (4 cores are quite enough, no brakes were noticed)

Disadvantages: When wall mounting, you need to come up with a line-up of wires and a separate unit that comes in the kit for connecting peripherals ...

Comment: TV is very pleased, it turned out to be a wonderful New Year gift for the whole family! Now we are waiting for the widespread distribution of 4K format ... !!! )) I advise everyone !!!

Advantages: Great picture, clear great sound, subwoofer, cable and satellite receiver connection, WI-FI, 3D

Disadvantages: The remote is comfortable on the hand, but inconvenient in the settings. When you set it up, it is beautiful.

Comment: Samsung made me a fan of the TV category. I wanted to run away, I looked towards LG and SONY, which I had loved for many years. But I realized that the picture and modern equipment, alas, while Samsung has advanced. The TV is fine today. I could not find a better one yet.

Advantages: Compact and convenient control panel with built-in cursor; antivirus; convenient implementation of the Smart TV menu; stock of built-in memory for applications; does not slow down, and does not drop out when watching movies online through any web browser (as was the case with the first models of Smart TVs. Built-in satellite tuner, just buy a dish and a CI + module with a card and enjoy the quality of satellite TV.

Disadvantages: The TV out of the box may not play some video files, you need to update the shell, after the update it plays all the files; inconvenient sorting of channels after automatic tuning (solved by loading the channel list from the previous TV); the controversial decision One connect Mini (convenient when hanging the TV on the wall), if its cable is damaged or not connected, the TV will constantly overload; there is only one USB 3.0 connector (and is designed by the manufacturer for a webcam); after a month and a half of operation, broken pixels appeared in two places of the screen (it pleases that on the periphery of the screen); and of course the price (though now it is more pleasant, but also not a little);

Comment: The TV is good, Samsung keeps its brand, this is my second 3D TV (UE40ES6550S - in use since 2012):

Advantages: Great TV. Fully met my expectations

Disadvantages: A little unusual control, but you quickly get used to it, so this can not be attributed to disadvantages.

Comment:

Advantages: Very cool TV! Once again: VERY COOL TV !!! There is everything! I immediately connected it to a music center (home theater) via bluetooth, to the Internet, phone and laptop via wi-fi, to an external drive via usb, and there is still a bunch of all sorts of features that I have not yet had time to explore ... Picture, colors, clarity, the sound is incredible! I hardly watch TV, but I like movies with special effects and 3D. It is impossible to come up with the best for these purposes. Everything is super! Very satisfied!

Disadvantages: Remote without buttons, all through the joystick of the remote control and the menu on the screen. This slows down the management process a little, but I think that you can get used to it over time. No 3D glasses included. Must be purchased separately.

Comment: TV took a week ago. To say that I am satisfied is to say nothing. I think I made the best purchase of this year (or half a year)! )))))
