Package is 10 minutes away, I can't pick it up because the station is only manned between 8-10 on week days.... I got to wait until monday. I'm not home next weekend and I got a busy week.
I am not a happy meal.

My UKKS7000 has started to lose connection to the TV for a second or two. Audio keeps going, but the picture disappears. Happened twice so far, both times on the Xbox One.
It had done this a few weeks ago, but I'd put it down to the Xbox One dying at the time. I've since had a replacement.
Weirdly, the last time it happened I could still here the game audio in Wildlands, but when I brought up the TV menu it looked like the TV had decided it was on a different input.

Bought it. Fry's will deliver it to my door today between 4 - 8PM PST. Now I need to chill out on buying things for awhile. My wife and I have spent a lot of money the past two weeks relocating to Portland.
Edit: Dammit, I'll need a new A/V receiver now. Any recommendations?
Why do you need a new A/V receiver?
Just bought a 65 KS8000 but I use AudioEngine A5+'s for music and movies. With no RCA, I have to use the optical out and probably get an digital to analog adapter to keep using them. Seems like a more affordable method than a DAC or an AV receiver.

I just bought the ks9000 55" off the dell website for1500. I got a 500 gift card so I will put that towards a pro. Wondering if this a good deal or not?

Getting a NA KS9000 this morning. Don't think the 2017 models will be worth 3 or 4 grand. Input lag scares me on LG B6P, plus the price.
This could sway you to a B6. At $1399. http://m.ebay.com/itm/391612997532?_mwBanner=1
I'm still going back and forth on wanting to jump on this or waiting for the KS8000 to be sub-$1000.

Any reason you need a new one?
A month ago, I bought a Denon x1300w (which I believe has most of the new stuff one needs like 4k/hdr support, dolby atmos, dts:x, etc) from Frys using their promo codes to bring it down to $299, free shipping and no tax. I just tried today's code on it and it sort of still seems to work, bringing it down to $319. I do not see any shipping option anymore though.
Oh man...that is so tempting.
I'm struggling to convince the wife that the $400 jump in price is worth it.
Haha. I know the feeling. I just brought up the subject with my wife last night about possibly needing a new TV sometime this year.
I'm just afraid that the prices will drop even lower on these sets as the 2017 models come out. Don't want or regret jumping on the B6, but definitely will wait for the KS8000 to be sub-$1000.
She already giving me this look of frustration because she knows how bad I want a TV.
We still use a low-end Phillips 40" 1080p from 2011. This would be an insane upgrade.

So, I've jut found my Nintendo 64 and would like to try it on this TV.
Any suggestions as to how it can be done, if at all?

Too small. Just picked up the 65"
I couldn't fit a bigger TV in my set up.
I also live in a home with steel studs, so mounting is not an option either.
You can buy scart to HDMI adapters, I'm guessing there shouldn't be any issues if you use one of these.

Auto Motion plus on Xbox 360 games via Xbox One backwards compatibility is awesome. Mass Effect 2/3 look and play awesome with it.
Just copped the 65. Tried to hang it on my existing wall mount.

1. The plastic "spacers" included with the KS8000 are very long. Much longer than the screws for the mount.
2. The "hooks" that screw into the TV don't seem to fit on the KS8000. It curves slightly and the hooks are straight.
Any ideas? I think new screws are in order. Does anyone know the exact size to buy?

I'm confused as to how the settings work on this TV. It is supposed to be a per input basis, so if I switch over to Netflix from my PS4 input it seems to be using the settings for PS4 (like Game mode). Is this correct?

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Preface: I am dumb -- don't let it upset you.
Actual question: Sooo... the HDR on this set, isn't really full HDR? I ask because of the HDR calibration settings on games... seems like it's not the full range, I guess? Always tops out at about 70 - 80% of whatever the calibration they're using.
I didn't necessarily buy this for HDR anyway, was more of a perk, but I guess I'm pretty dense about this stuff.

I would like to buy a ks8000 but am worried about the glue melting and the back coming off. It seems to be a common occurrence with this model according to the internet? Is it something that is going to eventually happen, like the ps3 ylod?
This set is full. That's just calibration. Like a brightness.slider doesn't go to max in games etc

Wow how did I not know that. After tweaking some settings it did the job, thank you!
Still fighting the urge to purchase the ks8000 or the lg b6...i keep thinking that it may drop even further in price as the 2017 models come in. But 1399 for the lg b6....anyone owns both or have experience seeing both in person and can help differentiate between the two? From what I know, for both 55" samsung is best for day usage whereas the b6 is great for watching movie at night because of the dark blacks?
Grrrr
I have yet to solve my audio issue.
Every single time I put any content on. I need to go to expert settings and turn that shit off of pcm and on to dolby or dts
How am I the only one with this issue.
Also. Please. New people. Look at op. Use the settings I wrote up.
And.for the live of baby Jesus turn dynamic contrast off. That shit is whack

I love dynamic contrast so it's staying 😀 think it set depends on the rest of the settings and the room you're using it in. My room is reasonably bright. Maybe it's better on the KS9000 too?
Do you use hdr+ at all?
Does that audio issue happen with all content on all inputs? The only time mine changes to pcm is if the HDMI input is sending out pcm, or if the tv is set to Dolby and the input is set to dts vice-versa. I leave mine in Dolby most of the time and it's fine as my TiVo and PS4 are set to that. Just have to change the PS4 and tv to DTS when i play a Blu-ray with DTS.
It meets HDR standards so is technically full HDR, probably best to test it on any tv/movie hdr content. I imagine it's quite inconsistent in games depending how it's used. There's better quality HDR sets coming out this year though.

Just a heads up firmware 1165.1 is now on the UK site.
Do you have to get this manually?
Jwebster24

Yes, go to this site and download the upgrade file which is approx 1.2gb. All you need to do is extract this on to a USB stick, plug in to the back of the TV then go to software update in the tv menu and it will ask you if you want to check the USB stick for an update.

Hi guys. I have a problem with this TV and maybe you can help me. When I have my PS4 Pro hooked up to the TV I have absolutely no issues - everything is running fine and it's awesome. Though if I hook up my PC to my TV, I randomly have some blackscreen issues where it's turning black for like a second. Did anyone of you have a similar issue and if so do you know how to solve it? Some help would be much appreciated.

Just installed 1165.1 and I can confirm HDR in game mode still isn't fixed 
Started Gears 4 and backlight stayed on 8.

I also installed the latest firmware, because of my problem mentioned earlier and I can also confirm that the backlight didn't adjust automatically and I still need to turn it up to 20 manually.

i can tell you one really annoying thing it doesn't fix...
Yes it does. The effect is more limited, but 45 degrees below and you will notice for sure. Invisible under 15 degrees I'd say.

Hi everyone,
I just bought at KS9800 65-inch (so gorgeous!), but would like to calibrate it. It's a huge thread, so forgive me if someone already posted about it, but does anyone have any recommendations for calibrating the KS9800?
