I originally purchased the 55" version of this tv and I gotta say the picture was so crisp and you could see every single detail on the background of shows like Seinfeld because of the motion plus feature it was like old shows were brand new again, I then noticed they have this tv (series 7 7090 model) that was a 60" for $350 cheaper and convicted my husband to exchange that tv for the other one because it was cheaper and bigger, got home and no matter what I did with the picture settings it didn't look any better then my 60" Samsung plasma I bought last year and after looking up reviews I came across something called the Samsung panel lottery when they use a cheaper panel by no name company and of course I looked in the back of the tv and in fact it wasant an official Samsung panel, I couldn't believe it and read also that they have real official panels on the s versions of their tvs, on the outside of the box it says version right next to the model number and serial number if it starts with a t or something like th1s it's a real Samsung panel, the other tv to me did not look like something better or an upgrade because it wasant the top of the line so I called and found a store that had this 65" 8500 SUHD in stock and went and picked it up, it has such a beautiful 4K picture and it does a great job at upscaling my 1080 content from my TiVo premiere or Roku and the colors are so bright and vibrant, the silver bezel around the tv looks very nice and it deserves being displayed in the living room where people can see but instead it's in my bedroom where we spend most of the time and will enjoy it to the fullest, the 3D is awesome, the tv only comes with one pair of 3D glasses but it's so much fun to watch a 3D movie with the kids and get the same effect as if you were at the movies. Sound is good for me but you can just add a sound bar or something so that's not a big deal. You can even play ps now games so that's very cool. I purchased the tv for $2499 but it went on sale for $1999 a few days later, so for that price I would say buy it you can't go wrong instead of getting something for a couple hundred dollars less but that doesn't compare in quality. When the first 4K tvs came out I would stand in the back of Best Buy store looking at how amazing the picture was and how it looked better then real life to me and now I have one of them. Very happy with my purchase!

Great case

I originally bought the black leather Targus case because you could also have the iPad vertically but it was in too much of a laying down position that I would never use and I didn't think the black was too cute, so I got this one instead, it fits nicely and I love the color since it's my favorite. It is nice and sturdy and doesn't feel wobbly when I use it, especially for watching Netflix and being online while laying in bed. I recommend this case.

I did go to the store and they refunded the $500 difference. Thanks for the comment as there are people that aren't aware of that. I appreciate it.

How do you know which "panel" is on the TV you are purchasing?

AFter reading the questions here, this one stumps me. Sorry for not being as up to date as others but, it seems that this TV comes with different "panels" depending on when made. What do the panels do for the TV and how do you know which one you are getting. if it makes a difference, since I see no mention of "panels" in the specs or in general description. Would like to know before buying.
The panel on the 8500 SUHD series are official Samsung panels you can tell on the outside of the box where it says version it starts with a letter t like for example th1s it's a real Samsung panel.
