The Samsung PN60F8500 is a TV which can easily be declared the best TV in 2013. Although the Ultra HD TVs and OLED TVs are now available in the market but it people seem to be reluctant to buy them because there is a very little content available for them and also because they are quite expensive.

Three ways of operating

This TV can be operated by remote control, gestures and even by voice recognition. People would like to control their TV using remote and gesture only because it is quite difficult to speak out loudly to give commands to your TV. There is a clickable trackpad on the remote control. You just swipe on the remote and the next channel in turned on. Longer swipes results in longer jumps while shorter jumps result in incremental steps. There are very few buttons on the remote control and it will be a bit difficult for the traditional remote users to get used to it.
