TAKING CINEMATIC VIEWING TO NEW HEIGHTS
The Samsung Smart Plasma TV F8500 is the ultimate picture you’ve 
been waiting for and the best performance we have to offer. It starts 
with the new Super Contrast Panel, which delivers unprecedented 
brightness, the deepest black levels and precise colors and clarity. 
We’ve also added Cinema Smooth™ to give anything you watch 
film-like smoothness, no matter the original motion quality. These 
advanced picture features bring out every high definition detail of 
your favorite movies, sports and shows. And you’ll have no problem 
finding your favorites or discovering new ones with our new Smart 
Hub – a faster way to navigate TV content. This intuitive central menu 
organizes and personalizes your entertainment world into five panels: 
On-TV, Movies and Shows, Social, Apps and a panel for your personal 
photos, videos and music.
Swipe between these panels using simple hand gestures and even 
use S-Recommendation with Voice Interaction to ask things like “what 
action movies are on?” The S-Recommendation search engine will find 
your favorite TV shows, movies and stored content – making what’s 
on TV an easy choice. You can also share photos and videos from 
your compatible smart devices to your TV – or use your smartphone 
and tablet to watch what’s on your TV. The design marvel continues 
with the beautiful brushed metal frame with curved lines that 
elegantly rests on a complementing stand. The F8500 is our newest 
commitment of meeting the highest expectations.

							PICTURE QUALITY
Super Contrast Panel:  
Whether watching a beautifully shot movie or sporting event 
the  new Super Contrast Panel gives your TV picture incredible 
brightness and contrast. Larger Red/Green/Blue sub-pixel color 
areas within the panel create a picture that rivals LED TVs for 
brightness. To further improve the already impressive Plasma 
TV black levels, the Super Contrast Panel combines two key 
innovations. The Real Black Pro filter improves deep black levels 
in bright room conditions, and Adaptive Reset Control does 
the same for darker rooms. The result is deep, rich colors and 
spectacular contrast.
Real Black Pro:  
Through a technology advancement to both the hardware 
and software of the TV, viewers can experience a richer picture 
quality with deeper blacks, bolder color, and higher contrast . 
By improving the reflection reduction properties of the panel, 
combined with improving the reset pulse algorithm in the 
software, users can get the most cinematic viewing experience 
with the Real Black Pro. 
Full HD 1080p:  
The realistic detail of Full HD images invites you to enjoy a 
viewing experience that redefines reality.
600Hz Subfield Motion:  
Samsung Plasma TV generates a frame of video at 600 times 
a second. The result is smoother images with unprecedented 
picture quality, especially beneficial when viewing sports and 
fast action movies.
Cinema Smooth Plus™ 
Cinema smooth adjusts the frame rate of the panel for  
displaying 24fps source movies on Blu-ray Disc®, dedicated 
24p cable and satellite channels at this native frame rate. The 
resulting video characteristic is a smoother and more natural 
film like experience. Content originated in 24p but delivered 
to the TV at 30fps or 60 fps may have inherent motion judder,   
Samsung’s Motion Judder Canceller smooths video content 
affected by poor processing.
Wide Color Enhancer Plus:  
Enhances hues by expanding the color range for a more vivid 
viewing experience especially beneficial when watching older 
film productions and non high definition content.
Clear Image Panel:  
The clear image technology feature provides anti-reflection for 
a better viewing experience. The single layer panel structure 
eliminates the production of dual images and blurring, 
especially at off angled viewing.
