I have the 64" F8500 and have been extremely happy with this television. I upgraded from the Samsung 58" (PN58B560) and the picture quality is amazing on the F8500!!! As far as the 4K vs. this plasma TV here is a great video that shows a side by side comparison of 4K vs. the F8500.https://youtu.be/RodCjVf-5AE

This Particular 65"Samsung Plasma TV has won the Value Electronics Shoot out 2 years in a row, this year beating out 5 UHD TV's, ranging in price from $7,500 to $120,000.http://www.electronichouse.com/article/oled_plasma_and_1080p_win_the_value_electronics_tv_shootout/http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/2014-TV-Shooutout-Pits-3-500-OLED-Against-120-000-LED-UHD-TV.shtml

I will have to say ;Yes. It has by far the best picture, I went from a 3 year old Panasonic 50" plasma to the Samsung and never regretted it.

It's close to half the price of a new 4k and as of right now there's almost no 4k content to watch anyway. Personally I'm not a fan of the 4k picture, it's simply just too bright, and for no good reason. The only one I've watched for an extended period gave me a terrible headache. The 8500 to me is just about perfect.

There are no doubt better TV's on the market, but for the price and size I wanted the HD picture more than suffices. The settings to need some adjustments to get the best picture possible. I would suggest you read some of the official reviews out there as some of the criticisms are valid. Still I am satisfied with my purchase.

I've had my 80" Vizio for a few months now and love it! The picture is great and you can't beat the price. I was debating a similar choice, but couldn't be happier with 80". It the extra 15" makes a much more immersive experience.

The 4k is newest generation and to my opinion if you buy but what is the best not what is on the market. The picture quality is much better in comparison to1090 and it is up you what to choose.

Are you buying a no frills Samsung. If so there is not a lot of difference. The TCL does not have a great deal of inputs usually the Samsung will have more and a better picture. I bought this TV for my RV most of the time i can't receive HD signal, so a really fantastic picture was not a great concern. My advice believe it or not is to buy a plasma. If you can control the lighting in your room you won't be sorry. But if you tight on money this is a good entry level TV, by the way don't do the software upgrade I hear it will screw up the TV

Dear Lance,The UN65H8000 has 1080p upscaling but not 4K upscaling. 4K is higher resolution.Eric C

i have a Sony 32" that's 1080P. you do have to spend a bunch tho and unless you sit fairly close like me (7-8 ft) you probably won't see any difference between 720 and 1080. your money would probably be better spent getting a set with a high contrast ratio

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

I'm also trying to decide between the two. Only difference seems to be that the 52b750 is 240hz instead of 120hz for the 55b650. I think that has something to do with response time. Hoping that we can get responses indicating whether or not the average person can notice the difference when watching tv. I would rather spend an extra $100 for a larger tv but wonder if I would be missing out on a better picture with the 240hz.

I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it. Horrible picture.I purchased the 40A550 Samsung 1080p 60hz & was better but, the picture looked faded.I returned it & ordered the 40A650 through Amazon & what an incredible unit. The best picture of any TV that I have found. This is an amazing television. Absolutely has an amazing picture regardless of what you are watching. Amazon's "white glove" delivery is great, too. They make an appointment to deliver, un-box the unit & make sure there is no damage & the unit works before they leave.We are totally happy with the 40A650 Samsung.

The TV's are very similar. The 2 things that make the M3D550KD slightly better is the fact that it is 240Hz instead of 120Hz. I don't know that that feature is very noticable. Both are very thin and have built in WiFi N and are loaded with apps. The M3D550KD is this year's model, the M3D550SL is last years model.

My subjective opinion is based on a pretty simple observation. I've looked at and compared both sets at Sears and at Best Buy and the Samsung had the best picture quality by far. In fact at as little as 5 feet away I had a difficult time seeing any difference between the model in question and several other 1080p models hanging next to it. I know a lot depends upon the quality of video feed the stores are using for the demo models on display. This is only my opinion and I know that can vary greatly for the person to person. So, take it for what its worth. Hopefully others can add their observations to the discussion. My subjective opinion is based on a pretty simple observation.

The sound quality for this TV is OK. Very normal compared to its size, its Basic quality, depends of what you are watching or listening. If you want a higher quality sound,I recommend you get the sound bar or a surround system.

Harley Dude, We can't speak for other manufacturers, so we'll leave this to the community to compare. We think you'll be happy with a Samsung television and what we offer with the 4K panels and additional Smart TV options. --Mr. S

I can't speak to the Samsung 65 inch, but I love my Vizio 80 inch. And the 3D is spectacular!

Basically right now 4k is the newest technology & there's not enough content out in 4k yet. It's a much higher resolution so u probably won't be able to tell the difference anyway. But I'm sure within the next 2 years you'll see 4k at higher hz. My opinion not worth the money right now. Stick with led tv at 240Hz with a quad core processor. Cheaper & will hold up well for a few years

It's actually far less glossy than other TVs and I have it sitting in my bright living room.. !! I would suggest go with c650 as I have similar distance between TV and the couch. Also, having Pandora and few other apps (weather etc ) is def a plus when you have it.. Look around and see if you can get even a better price.. I bought it from $1439 2 months ago..
