Samsung UNJS8500 series review

Samsung has spent a lot of money promoting its new as different, better and, above all, worth the higher price compared to regular old UHD (aka 4K) TVs . In the case of the JS8500, the company's least expensive SUHD TV and the one model that's flat...

The UNJS8500 is Samsung's highest-end 2015 TV with a flat rather than curved screen. It delivers very good picture quality, with relatively deep black levels, accurate color and solid video processing. It's the least-expensive TV compatible with HDR...

Despite the nanocrystal-powered color and HDR compatibility inherent in Samsung's SUHD name, the JS8500 doesn't offer appreciably better image quality than many less expensive TVs. It has lighter black levels than some top competitors, an issue...

The Samsung UNJS8500 SUHD TV has a very good picture for an edge-lit LED LCD, but not good enough to justify the price.

Samsung UN48JS8500

The JS8500 is a very good performer for an LCD TV, and its color accuracy, video processing and most other picture quality aspects are excellent. Its black levels are also relatively deep, but not as deep as some of the other TVs we've tested such as...

Samsung JS8500 TV

The Samsung JS8500 is currently our second-best rated LED TV in 2015, thanks to its overall great picture quality. It's only real issue is the degradation of quality at an angle. Thanks to its good gray uniformity, the Samsung JS8500 SUHD TV has the...

Good gray uniformity ; Great picture quality in both dark and bright rooms ; Low amount of motion blur ; Wider color gamut

Color loss at an angle

A Review of the Samsung JS8500 SUHD 4K Ultra HD LED 3D TV Series (2015 Flat Screen Model) – UN48JS8500, UN55JS8500, UN65JS8500

Samsung has been one of the top manufacturers of 4K TVs since they came into existence and their 2015 lineup of new TVs is not only no exception, it goes beyond even the quality of 2014's 4K TVs to deliver a newly defined ultra HD viewing experience.

Superb Tizen OS ; Exquisite color thanks to quantum dots ; Full connectivity package ; Great dynamic range

No full-array backlighting

The Samsung JS8500 doesn't offer the absolute best technologies of the JS9500 SUHD flagship 4K TVs but then again it also costs a couple thousand dollars less. Furthermore, this TV now also offers HDR compatibility and is thus an excellent, relatively...

Samsung UE48JS8500 review

Samsung's 48-inch JS8500 SUHD TV is an absolutely superb television with outstanding picture quality, superior audio, great Smart TV and stunning looks. Packed with high-end features such as nano crystal technology and HDR support, it's future-proof...

This Series 8 TV is now realistically affordable, and is definitely the best Samsung TV we've reviewed this year, apart from just one thing - the curve. But this is partly a matter of personal preference, so feel free to ignore us if you like. Asked by...

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.
