PROS
- The F8500 plasma TV has a nice, bright picture on par with the brightness of LED TVs.
- Viewing this TV from an angle doesn't degrade picture quality.
- The TV comes with four pairs of 3D glasses.
CONS
- There's a lot of input lag, even in Game Mode--which means this TV is not ideal for gamers.
- It's a power hog--the PN51F8500AFXZA consumes more power than do LCD TVs in its class.
- The sound quality is disappointing, and the built-in speakers aren't loud.
- LIST PRICE$2700
