Performance
We fired the chain up with the PS3 and played some HD videos consisting of trailers and other material, plus a Blu-ray montage disc. Then came Burnout Paradise. I forgot that I was reviewing the piece, though that’s another story.

I think I'll have to eat humble pie, as the contrast is actually very good, though not the best I’ve seen. Even brightness was high on impressiveness. Samsung has their DNIe stuff which I turned on, it did affect the image quality, though did not totally eliminate slight noise and judder that came out.

These were in tolerable limits, except some scenes in games which caught my eye through and through, especially in fast scenes. Colour was nice and warm, well balanced – even the heavy reds. The reason I’m being picky in my evaluation is due to the price...

Conclusion
Samsung's flagship F8 costs Rs 2,00,000. Is it worth it? Not at this price. The picture is very good, no doubt, but unless the company chops Rs 20,000 off and bring it in the region of the high-end Bravias, I wouldn't venture to say this LCD is value for money. If you're in the mood to splurge, nothing should stop you from going for it.
