Verdict
Samsung UE65NU8500U captivated many with its design and an incredible 65-inch curved screen. It produces a bright, clear image thanks to implemented technologies. The Smart TV function works perfectly fast, which immediately distinguishes it from the general mass of other models. Samsung heard the requests of its customers and equipped the TV with Bluetooth function: it became possible to connect different wireless devices to it. The price of the model is . It’s not cheap, but I think that this TV is worth every penny that was spent on it.
For example, QE65Q7FNA - a flat screen, not a curved one, with a diagonal of 65 inches and technologies that our model does not have: Hybrid Log Gamma and Ultra Black (eliminating glare on the screen from external lighting sources) and Ultra Slim Array which improve the image even better. It has a powerful DTS Premium Sound 4.1CH 40W audio system. Smart TV function is running Tizen 4.0 updated version. The discovered defects of the previous version were fixed, but with all these additions the TV will cost . In my opinion, it makes no sense to pay more: all these advantages are not so significant as to give such an amount for them. Another competitor is Samsung UE75NU8000U with a diagonal of 75 inches, a flat screen, an identical set of functions costs . It will be difficult for a potential buyer to make their choice - all 3 models are magnificent. In my opinion, this is already a matter of taste.
