My friend bought a Samsung UE43KU6000W so he can game and watch movies in 4K when Scorpio comes out. But he forgot to check if the TV supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision. The only thing I can find is that it has HDR Pro and some customer reviews actually claim that's fake HDR?
If this and he gets to return the TV, what would be a good alternative in the same price range? About 500-600 euros.
Here's the review for it since that number on the model chart in this review seems to match the 43" UK version of this US model number: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ku6300
According to this it supports HDR10 (no Dolby Vision) though the review specifies that it can't really gain much from it especially since it doesn't support a wider color gamut.
Yeah it seems like there is a fake HDR mode on this TV, but here's what they said for setting up the real HDR mode:
Rtings said:So I just bought the KU6300 50inch Samsung. It has HDR PRO. I hook it up to my PS4 on HDMI port 1 and then I switch into GAME mode. After switching, I try to enable HDR and it states that this function is not available. Was wondering if I'm doing something wrong and how you got those settings for the input lag tests.
First you have to set 'HDMI UHD Color' 'on' for the HDMI port 1, from the picture 'Expert Settings' page. Once this is done, with this TV you don't need to turn on any special mode to get HDR to work, since when the TV detect and HDR signal, a popup is going to appear telling you that an HDR video is playing. It must not be confuse with 'HDR+ Mode' from the 'Special Viewing Mode', which is a 'Fake HDR' that will transform normal content to make it look like HDR.
According to this only HDMI port 1 supports the full spec, so they should use that one for 4K@60Hz@4:4:4:
Rtings said:I have the Samsung UN40KU6300FXZA try to enable HDMI UHD Color on all 3 HDMI port. I am use PC on HDMI 1, PS4 Pro on HDMI 2 and XBOX One S on HDMI 3. HDMI UHD Color is just enable in port 1. Why can i not enable the other 2 ports?
Only the HDMI port 1 is able to support the full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth on this TV unfortunately. The 2 other port are not full bandwidth compliant. Maybe this decision was made to be able to cut the price of the TV, since the more expensive KS Series support the full bandwidth on all HDMI port.
Hope that helps.
And hopefully someone else can offer suggestions in that price range over there for the other options.
