Summer 2010
This shot from the Blu Ray Version of Blood Diamond shows excellent contrast and definition
The LE8500 is loaded with extra features (some good, some not) and striking good looks. It is the next to highest end TV produced by LG for 2010 falling just below the LE9500 which has the simulated 480Hz rate that I cant imagine makes much difference. We enjoyed testing this high end offering and comment on Picture quality characteristics and almost all of the various features below.

This is a heavy, beautifully manufactured TV with a few flaws but also some great attributes. It sells for $3200 currently at authorized dealers. It's loaded with features; some you might call bells and whistles and some very useful. It lacks only 3D compatibility when you think about it. Competition comes from the Samsung UN55C7000 and the Sony KDL-52NX800.
Rating scale from 70 (denoting poorest quality) to 100 (signifying the very best quality). Picture quality is double-weighted in the Overall Rating Score calculation.
