Samsung JS8500 Series UN65JS8500FXZA LED Smart 4K Ultra HDTV: This Samsung SUHD TV continues to push the envelope of high-definition picture quality, revealing brilliant colors and stunning scene lighting that goes beyond standard 4K Ultra HD. It's also capable of connecting with apps, browsing the Web, and screen mirroring with smart devices over a Wi-Fi connection.

Great All Round Television

So I tried the Samsung UN65JU6500, the UN65JU7090, the Vizio D Series, and an LG model. Overall, the Samsungs had the best picture and the smoothest interface. This television, in particular, has the best picture. It should, since it cost the most. I got it at $2k, so I feel like I got it at it's lowest point. That helps. Not much to say that hasn't been said. Blue Ray's look great. Direct TV looks great! The upscaling is much better than the Vizio. The Vizio picture wasn't too bad. The LG was terrible. The smart remote grows on you. Gaming looks good, so far. I have only had the tv 30 days, but I am very satisfied. I used a combination of Rtings and Consumer Reports' settings.

The ominous thud of an AT-AT stomping down. Rebel forces firing blasters. Imperial speeder bikes zipping by. Intense dogfights between squadrons of X-wings and TIE fighters filling the skies. Immerse yourself in the epic Star Wars battles you've always dreamed of and create new heroic moments of your own in Star Wars Battlefront

I was unaware that there are really no single player adventures. Single player modes are only battle scenes. I was expecting it to be somewhat like an RPG. It may be more like that in multi-player mode. However, I have not tried it.

Surround yourself with the sights and sounds of a favorite gaming franchise with this PlayStation VR Skyrim bundle. Including everything from VR goggles and a camera to two move controllers, this setup offers plug-and-play compatibility with all PlayStation 4 consoles. This PlayStation VR Skyrim bundle includes a copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR, so you can walk the world of Dragonborn.
 

Where is the "Add to Cart" option? It says its "available" but when I click on "store pickup" says no store within 250 miles has it, so where is the "add to cart" option?

Unfortunately, you can't trust their website. I stopped in a Best Buy that was supposedly sold out. I was fortunate to pick one up for $350 due to a Target price match. Well worth the money!

Curious as to everyone's calibration settings. Trying to match store settings, but obviously not very easy. Any recommendations?

Use a combination of Rtings and Consumer reports. Rtings alone are a little dark. Never use the store settings. They are meant for very bright lights.

Which would you buy - assuming prices are equal at $1999 tomorrow? JS8500 or the Vizio P65-C1? I'd throw the KS8000 in but price won't drop fast.

JS8500. However, the prices are down for the KS8000. I'd go with it. The Vizio P is not compatible with Amazon Prime streaming.
