Superb contrast-rich picture quality ; Content-rich smart TV platform ; There can be benefits to the curve

There can be issues with the curve ; Slightly high input lag ; It's not cheap

One other thing we highly recommend is that you use the TV’s Cinema Black feature on its low or likely Mid setting. This does a great job of getting rid of any residual light ‘jets’ that might still be sneaking into the black bars you get above and...

Stunning 2D and 3D picture quality ; Extremely sophisticated smart TV system ; Future proof thanks to HDMI 2.0 ; Sets a new bar for TVs ; 1,000 less than last year's model ; Curve really works at this size

Presets for 3D not ideal ; Curve can cause reflection issues ; Input lag a smidgen higher than we'd like

To be honest, it’s kind of handy that the curve doesn’t strike us as an unmitigated disaster, since Samsung is so behind its curved technology that it’s only fitted its curved screens with its top-line panel and processing technology. If you’d rather...

Superb detail definition Pleasing upscaling Exciting picture Vibrant colours Wealth of smarts

Black levels could be stronger A little unresponsive to commands

Impressive, attractive and entertaining, this premium-quality Samsung UE65HU8500 TV makes us excited about 4K’s future.

Full-featured. Elegant, utilitarian design. 4K output is stunning.

Mediocre black levels. Colors run slightly cool. Poor input lag. Native 4K content is still rare.

With the limitations of the content in mind, native 4K movies look genuinely impressive on the 65HU8550 through the sheer technical achievement of its higher resolution. I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness and Night at the Museum on the 65HU8550, and...

Superb pictures from all sources ; Peerless Smart TV selection ; Future-proof spec ; Excellent multi-media integration

Gimmicky football mode ; Viewing angle limitation ; Too many remote control methods ; Looks bad on a wall

With the UE55HU8500 Samsung has established its credentials as a leading light among makers of 4K/UHD screens. The curve won't be for everyone but it makes this a unique proposition in the 55-inch 4K market.

4K picture performance ; Twin tuner functionality ; Aggressive pricing

Awkward oval remote ; Viewing sweet spot ; Looks silly wall mounted

Sensational native 4K pictures ; Peerless 4K upscaling ; Upgradable connections and 'brains' ; Impressive audio performance

Curve can exaggerate reflections ; Slightly high input lag ; 3D Preset too aggressive ; Viewing angle limit

With the UE65HU8500 Samsung has delivered its annual trick of setting a new TV benchmark for the year ahead, achieving new 4K standards while also persuasively introducing a curved LED screen for the first time.
