**New for 2015. The UN48JS8500 is Samsung’s top-of-the-line 48-inch second generation of Flat Screen 4K Ultra HD TVs from Samsung. For 2015 Samsung is introducing the SUHD line of TVs that have the new Nano Crystal (Quantum Dots) technology, including the JS8500 Series. This technology has produced the best LED TV picture Samsung has ever produced. The SUHD Nano Crystal technology produces a brighter picture, 10x deeper blacks, and up to 64X enhanced color detail, for more natural vivid colors. A 4K Ultra HD TV provides 3840 x 2160 resolution, which is four times the resolution of Full HD. This allows you to sit closer to a larger TV and get the immersive movie theater experience. Most movie theaters now use a 4K projector, so in effect you will have movie theater resolution in the home. This TV is 3D Ready and comes with 1 pair of active 3D Glasses. Watching 3D content on a 4K TV meets or exceeds that of movie theater quality.

Smart-Review Commentary: For 2015, The 48-inch UN48JS8500 4K TV is Samsung’s best Flat LED 4K TV and comes fully loaded. These are the first TVs from Samsung with Quantum Dots (Nano Crystals). Samsung calls these TVs SUHD TVs. Nano Crystals will increase brightness and give much richer colors than normal TVs, as well as 10x deeper blacks. This is a big improvement for LED TVs. 4K Ultra HD resolution will give you 8 megapixels of screen, versus only 2 megapixels in regular HD. This is the future of TVs and in the next couple of years, 4K will be the new standard, just as 1080p TVs are now. 4K Ultra HD is the same resolution as the movie theater, and will give you a more immersive experience, as the pixels are 4 times smaller, and you can sit much closer to the TV. Native 4K content is just emerging. Native 4K Blu-ray players will be introduced in 2015. Netflix and Amazon already have 4K content and more is on the way. This TV comes with the latest 4K standards: including HDMI 2.0 , and HEVC (h.265) decoder built-in. These will allow high speed 4K (60fps) and 4K Streaming. The 2015 4K TVs have been upgraded to 802.11ac WiFi, the latest wireless standards to support streaming 4K video. Its 3D Ready and comes with 1 pair of 3D glasses. Other notable features are a Quad Core Processor and Precision Black Local Dimming. SmartView 2.0 allows you to view content from your Smartphone or Tablet. The JS8500 4K Series comes with a Smart Remote. We previewed the SUHD TVs at CES 2015, and they have the best picture on an LED TV we have seen from Samsung. The UN48JS8500 4K TV has excellent reviews and is a not only a SmartReview Top Pick, but has won our BEST of 2015 Award.
