What's great about it: Picture is phenomenal, easy to self calibrate
What's not so great: Speakers are poor - but it is meant to be used with a entertainment system
Great Picture, slim slim slim!!! Using this with Samsung Blu-Ray, Comcast HD signal with regular HDMI v1.3 cables(not ridiculously expensive ones). Phenomenal! It is used in a very bright room mid morning to mid day, and at angle there is minimal glare; the anti-reflective coating of this model seems to do a good job. Most of my viewing is done before and after that, and there is no glare. Sports, movies, regular TV shows are all awesome.
Sound is not good; improved by mounting on wall. You will want to connect to a good stereo system, but the sound is tolerable alone. This doesn't change my 5/5 stars, as I was very aware that I was buying the video part of the entertainment package, not the sound!
Plus, the remote is backlit, so in the dark you can see what you're doing! The internet connectivity is present, but I have not run my cable to the TV, nor purchased the optional wireless connector, so I can not comment on that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Beautiful picture in a beautiful package
What's not so great: Nothing
I've had a rear projection 65" for over 7 yrs. I need size because I can't see very well. I asked my son at BestBuy to tell me what the best big TV was. He told me this one. I also looked at the new LED's, but was a little hesitant with the new backlight technology. I am so glad I took his advise and got this plasma. It is stunning and I can't even see that well. I hooked up my Denon BlueRay and BAMM! Wow!

What's great about it: Excellent Price and Even Better Picture
What's not so great: I haven't found a problem yet.
I have had this tv for about 2 weeks now and my son and I absolutely love it. The picture is so crisp and clean. We mostly play sport games and watch movies, and it helps the characters jump right out at you. We can finally make out the placement of the ball on the screen. I researched and reviewed for about a year when I finally decided to pull the trigger on this one. I am so happy i decided on this Samsung. It is great.

What's great about it: The picture is stunning
What's not so great: No complaints yet.
After months of looking at TV's at Bestbuys I was confused and tired of picking apart every one. Then I read about the new Samsung PN58B850 and in many ways made the decision to buy it based on the looks of the unit and hoped for the best. From the moment it arrived and I picked my chin up off the floor I realized what a great decision I had made. Fantastic looks and a fabulous picture to match it even has the best on TV sound system I've owned, that does not mean you will dump the surround only need it less frequently. Excuse me I have another movie to watch so just add to cart and buy it then you can to.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Everthing else
What's not so great: No Cinema Smooth
This TV does not have Cinema Smooth, per the owner's manual. The Samsung & Best Buy website both incorrectly list Cinema Smooth as one of the features. The only "8" series plasmas that have Cinema Smooth are the 860 models, not the 850. Hopefully Best Buy will correct this listing so people don't buy a TV thinking it has this feature when it doesn't, resulting in a dissatisfied customer.
