I ordered on EPP on Friday evening and it still hasn't shipped yet. Any idea how long it takes them to get out of "Preparing Order for Shipment" status?

I ended up cancelling my KS800 and jumped on the $1500 LG OLED B6 deal instead lol. The report of HDR game mode patch was the final straw for me.

Great choice going with the KS8000!

 

[thetruth1983]

It comes down to balancing costs for me. A set like the Samsung KU6300 is good quality, 50 inches, very low input lag, and under $500.

While it doesn't get the full HDR experience, it does do a lot better than SDR, as this review discusses-

"Once again, the KU6300 doesn’t offer the same full range of 4K high dynamic technology as its 2016 SUHD cousins with their compatibility to HDR10 standards. This means that the TV doesn’t deliver the peak luminance of 1100 nits or more and same Wide Color Gamut as those top-shelf 4K HDR TV models do. Furthermore, its color coverage doesn’t offer quite the same realistic richness we’ve seen in models like the KS9500 2016 HDR television. However, the KU6300, like the KU6500, does come with HDR Premium capacity and this does offer up a level of dynamic range that’s at least comparable to high dynamic range as we’ve seen it in some 2015 4K TV models with this technology. It’s not the best in HDR that you’ll find in the KU6300 but the TV still delivers a range of contrast that’s better than what you’ll find in the vast majority of SDR 4K TVs."

Might I beat myself up for this down the road? Maaaybe, but then I tend to buy new TVs every 3-4 years. Not the end of the world and this still seems like it is giving me a great picture per dollar. Ya, I know, if I spend $300-400 more I can get something much better. But that will always be the case.

Thanks for breaking it down for me. I was pretty illiterate on these TVs last year so I ended up purchasing 2 tvs and neither support true HDR (Samsung and Lg). I just ordered the 65ks8600 since it has the correct HDR for the new consoles but I was confused as to why people were the Tvs that didn't support the full spec. I understand cost is an issue but for me, this is a 4-5 year investment so the extra 500 bucks is worth it. I honestly wish I could see a true HDR display next to a pseudo HDR display and see if I could actually notice a difference.

Ok thanks, I was getting worried they would cancel the order or something. I'm used to Amazon shipping packages within 24 hours of ordering, so ordering from Samsung directly is new to me.

Ended up going with the KS8000 because of the EPP price and all the reviews here on GAF. I've had nothing but edge lit since my first HDTV, so I'm totally used to it and a little light bleed doesn't bother me at all.

Hey they have the 55" inch version on best buy early access deals for $479. They also have the 50" at costco for $450 in case you or anyone is interested. US KU6300

 

[inner-G]

I'm gonna buy that same set tonight too so seconding this question!

Anyone have "optimal" settings to put everything at?

Quoting my own post from the earlier KU6290/6300 thread:

Ok, half of GAF will say I'm ruining the image by using dynamic contrast, but this is what looks good TO ME, seven feet back on my couch (KU6290, PS4 Pro):

Not sure if it's 'optimal' but it looks pretty good to me.

 

[thetruth1983]

What is true HDR?

The problem is that HDR 10 and Dolby vision aren't certifications but just guidelines.

Very few tvs meet the 1000+ not brightness spec for hdr10 and I don't know if any meet the 4000+ spec for DV.

Hdr does not require a specified wcg either, so a set that doesn't meet the uhd premium spec of 90% of dci p3 still have hdr.

There are dolby vision sets that have a worse color gamut rating than a hisense h8c. Hdr does not require a wcg rating from an unrelated certification.

Hdr10 is supposed to be 10 not and Dolby vision 12 bit, but an 8 bit panel using frc arguably achieved roughly the same results.

There is no true hdr.

Now you have me even more confused lol. I was under the impression that most of the Tvs under 1k have a pseudo HDR and the 1k+ tvs have the true HDR. I will say that that last black friday, I bought a 49UF6430 LG and a Samsung J48ju6500 and neither offer true HDR. Obviously, I didn't know that at the time which is why I a new TV this year. I just don't understand why any informed person would buy a TV that doesn't have the full spec but now I'm confused.

The 55" LG B6 which I bought last Friday just dropped by $200 today on Amazon and Best Buy.

I highly recommend it! LG officially announced it's working on an update to address gaming input lag concerns (although it's unclear how much it will improve things).

 

[FallingEdge]

Curved TVs in general I can never decide whether I love or hate them lol. Sometimes I see them and I think they are immersive, other times they look like a goofy bow-tie shape.

Right there with you. I think it looks cool but I can see it being a gimmick as well. I really want the LG C6 but I wouldn't mind just sticking with the KS8000 as a stop gap with EPP pricing.

Dont worry, you got a nice tv dude. I think you'll be happy with it.

 

[wtd2009]

I'm sorry, I don't want to search back to see if this was posted, did we already cover this?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarc...etitions-champagne-at-the-ready/#1659d57b4bb8

“LG Electronics has been made aware that some customers are experiencing lag on their displays when playing HDR games on LG TVs.

LG engineers are currently working on a firmware patch to address the issue which is expected to roll out shortly.

LG is also working on a solution for 2017 LG TV models which may include the option of an HDR gaming mode.

LG is committed to providing the highest standards of product quality and customer service.

As such, we regret any inconvenience this has caused our customers and confirm our commitment to resolving this issue as quickly as possible.”

If LG follows through with this firmware update, and with the price drops, it's pretty enticing.

 

[meanspartan]

Dont worry, you got a nice tv dude. I think you'll be happy with it.

Thanks!

Ultimately I am coming from a significantly smaller (40 inch) 1080p so while the lack of "true" HDR bugs me a bit, I think once it is in front of me I am going to be pretty impressed regardless.

And ya, when I buy my next TV in 3-5 years, the whole HDR v Dolby thing will be settled and I can just go with whatever the standard at that time is. Though I'm sure by then there will be some other thing to stress about spending a few hundred extra for, there inevitably always is.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Are people in this thread actually buying TVs that don't have true HDR or am I missing something?

A lot of people are being short sighted and trying to jump on a shiny new thing because they're impatient.

 

[inner-G]

A lot of people are being short sighted and trying to jump on a shiny new thing because they're impatient.

Or they'd rather buy a TV now than wait, since PS4 Pro is out.

Or they'd rather have a bigger TV than better HDR.

Or many other perfectly valid reasons.

You posted the picture of that little girl, but you're the one who constantly posts childish, condescending remarks about others' TV buying decisions.

 

[meanspartan]

Fair enough I guess, I am really eager to upgrade haha. Let me defend my choice a bit though-

I suppose I'd argue that the Samsung 6300 I'm planning to get is simply the best balance of everything: low input lag, great picture, some degree of HDR that makes it a step up from standard (although yes, not full HDR), and under $500 for a good sized screen.

There is always going to be something else I could spend a few hundred extra for, I realize that.

That one was big for me. Saw some 40-43 inch 4ks with full HDR at around the same price as the Sammy 50 inch, but, I'd rather compromise a little on the HDR and have a much bigger TV.

The vast majority of content you watch/play on it won't be HDR for the foreseeable future, so that's a totally valid tradeoff.

The only valid reason so far in my eyes is if their TV is broken and they need to replace it. Otherwise, anything else is being impatient. I'll elaborate a bit more below.

The thing is, HDR content is finally starting to get a push this year. Standards were defined this year. UHD Blu ray and game systems that support HDR came out this year. HDR10 being the format that is clearly the one moving forward is happening this year. Quality HDR sets just started to trickle out this year. CES is less than two months away. Next year should be the first year where decent HDR is common among most TV sets getting released. Just like 4K is getting pretty common for TV availability when you look at stores and what's available, HDR will start becoming like that starting next year. The dust is still settling and if you have money to spend, you can get something pretty good now; if you're trying to save money or look at the lower end of the spectrum, now is not the time when next year is really just around the corner.

I get the excitement with the PS4 Pro out now, but I think to truly appreciate it, people should wait if they don't want to spend a lot on a TV, otherwise you're really not seeing most of the potential and HDR is going to be a much bigger game changer than 4K resolution. Just like people who bought 4K TVs before there was really any content let alone HDR implemented, people buying now are doing it a bit premature. We're really right on the edge from the big shift of 4K HDR TVs being sold as the norm. Trying to buy cutting edge on the cheap is not a good mix. I'm a firm believer that the best thing to do right now is to wait, especially if you're on a budget. The TVs aren't going anywhere. The pricing can only get better, and the capabilities will be much more in line with what you should be getting.

I want to personally thank you for making my day. I did as you said and hit up the contact at SD and he responded in kind. Within a matter of minutes (took longer actually since I was at work and couldn't respond as fast) I had my account ready. All he asked for was a $10 Amazon gift card.

And now I will be a proud owner of the KS9000. Spent $160 extra than my allotted budget but fuck it.

Hey all, a couple more questions. Are there any settings to adjust while watching a standard bluray? Also, is there any difference in bluray performance on a PS4 pro or Xbox one S?

[Y2Kev]

So I went to best buy and looked at all the TVs.

The OLEDs are truly stunning. Like the picture is unbelievable. Razor sharp. You can't even see the bezel. It's like looking into the abyss.

The KS8000 was honestly very impressive too. It was so bright on the bright scenes. I loved looking at a TV that dominated my field of vision. It was badass.

Then I realized I really liked the big size so I went with the Samsung. If the OLED were cheaper I might have gone for that but the cost/benefit is just not there. $2,800 for a TV is crazytown. I don't do anything other than play games.

Also for all the promises of patches I don't know what will ultimately happen with lag on the OLEDs. If it were really bad or I could notice it, unfortunately it would ruin the only thing I want the TV for.

Yup I'm waiting with baited breath as well. They're really close. Hopefully only another year or two until Mainstream, an established HDR standard and new higher bandwidth HDMI or "fingers crossed" Display Port. But yea... That's like a 1% chance at best for DP.

Pardon my ignorance. I have had a Panasonic Viera plasma (TC-46PGT24) since 2010.

If I were to spend around $700 - $1,000 on a new TV this week, for that money would I be able to buy something significantly better in terms of overall TV / gaming viewing experience?

That really depends on what's important for you. You'll get a higher resolution, probably around not very good quality HDR to maybe okay quality which hopefully will include a wider color gamut, if you pick the right one, probably better latency. On the flip side you'll probably get worse black levels, worse viewing angle, worse motion handling, and probably not able to handle 24hz as well if you get a 60hz native panel. So in some ways it'll be better, in other ways it'll be worse. In that range you'll be stuck with edge lit, which personally I can't stand. I've got a high quality plasma and I wouldn't trade it for something in that price range personally.

You could get a ks8000 for 999 at bestbuy, that has good hdr10 capabilities and good for gaming. It has a native 120hz refresh rate so movies will look good. Black levels are nice, but i wouldnt say plasma nice. Also worse viewing angle compared to plasma as well.

Thank you! What about a Samsung KS8000 or the LG 8500. Would the black levels / viewing angles in those be comporable to what I currently have / better than the < $1,000 units you describe?

For me, black level is more important so i went with the ks8000 over the lg8500. Va panels will never have as good of a viewing angle as plasmas. If you with an ips panel, you'll get wider viewing angle, but worse contrast which i think is important for good PQ. Check out rtings.com and review both tvs.

ugh, I was going to get the XBR800 49" for $600, but 200 more for the KS8000 at 55" is just too damn hard to pass up. I am also worried that coming from a VT60, I will tear the XBR's image apart.

So with the upcoming black friday I have had my eyes set on this...

...65'' 4k TV from Samsung (8000-series). I am hoping for a drop in price, but I wonder what the consensus is for these TV's. I apologize the link is in a foreign language but it should be clear what model it is. Would this be a good buy or should I find another TV? It will primarily be used for Playstation 4 pro , watching movies and tv-shows.

It took mine like 3+ days. I ordered on the 16th. Now I won't get it until the 29th. "1-3 days after shipping" they quoted. What a fucking joke. I guess that's the price I pay for getting such an awesome deal with EPP.

Yeah, I am fine being patient as long as I know it's actually going to get shipped for that seemingly too good to be true price. Their website is crazy bad too. I have to go through the login process at least 3 times before I can get in and the timeout is really short.

Amazon has the 49" X800D down to $648. Even though it is an IPS panel versus the VA on the 43", you won't find anything without some EPP level scam that gives you similar specs for that price.

Is the Samsung UE43KU6000 any good for gaming and just as a 4K TV?

I'm looking for something in this price range...

Damn yo! Wish I seen this before I drove to Microcenter and picked up the KS8000. They were selling it for 899, wonder if Discover card will price match the EPP...probably not. Don't even know how I'd show them the price difference anyway.

This point just gonna see if I like the TV so I can easily return to MC if anything.

Use this screenshot it's a day old but should be good for the discover price match from what I have read.

I think this review encapsulates really well how I feel about the current OLED's. Even though I really like them, it wasn't so significantly better or impressive compared to the KS8000 at less than half the price that would make me justify it. Especially considering the Input lag.
