Verdict
The Samsung UE65NU8500U won over many with its design and incredible 65-inch curved screen. It delivers a bright, clear image thanks to the implemented technologies. Smart TV function works perfectly quickly, which immediately sets it apart from the crowd of other models. Samsung heard the requests of its customers and provided the TV with a Bluetooth function: it became possible to connect various wireless devices to it. The price of the model is 120 thousand rubles. Not cheap, but I believe this TV is worth every penny that was spent on it.
For example, in QE65Q7FNA - a flat screen, not curved, with a diagonal of 65 inches and technologies that our model does not have: Hybrid Log Gamma and Ultra Black (eliminating glare on the screen from external light sources) and Ultra Slim Array which enhance the image even better. It has a powerful 40W DTS Premium Sound 4.1CH audio system. Smart TV function is running Tizen 4.0 updated version. The discovered shortcomings of the previous version were eliminated, but with all these additions the TV set will cost 170 thousand rubles. In my opinion, there is no point in paying more: all these advantages are not so significant that it is worth giving such a sum for them. Another competitor is Samsung UE75NU8000U with a diagonal of 75 inches, a flat screen, an identical set of functions costs 150 thousand rubles. It will be difficult for a potential buyer to make his choice - all 3 models are great. In my opinion, this is already a matter of taste.
