Cancel your order and just get the AmazonBasics that say "newest standard". They're completely compliant.

That KS8000 deal....whew. That's a good deal. I'm seriously tempted.
I'm going to hold out for a 4k tv that can do 120hz at 1080p though. For now I'll just grab the 40" 6290. After playing PC on a 144hz monitor for a while now, I don't want to go back to 60hz at the 1000+ price range.

Can anyone tell me which is the better of the two here?
I know the one is smaller but if u have to drop size for quality at budget price than so be it.
The one is on sale til tmrw.
I'm buying one of them so help a brother out.

Is the KS800 60" panel as good as the 55" and 65"? I saw earlier that some were mentioning it was manufactured by a different company than the others. 55" is fine for me size wise, but the legs are too wide for my TV stand. The adjustable ones on the 60" should work...or I may need to make the upgrade to the KS9000, mainly for the stand.

If anybody has any extra codes that would be dope.
If you are a technophile, maybe? I've been browsing customer reviews on various sites and there has been no more/less problems with the 60" vs the 55/65". It is manufactured elsewhere but they have a quality standard. At most the few complaints I've seen have been about viewing angle decreased and some more cloudiness. And those are honestly the same complaints that people have with the 55/65". Too me its just technophiles trying to find fault in what was probably a bum set to begin with. Bum sets happen, it's manufacturing, there are defects. I doubt there is a noticeable difference between panels for an everyday user. I'm pretty picky and even after scouring the internet all day I've kept my 60" order.
Boooo, plently of people will give you one for free. There's like 100 available codes from this thread alone, most just aren't monitoring the thread. Send a few PMs. I actually sent out my 5 codes telling people they needed to pay it forward without charging.

I have already, crickets in my PM box though... I'm hopeful someone is kind enough to pay it forward as you suggested!

Same here. PM'd a few. Hoping someone comes through and I'll pay it forward.

I got a KS8000 like a lot of people here. Are there any resources for ideal settings for gaming and/or TV/movies?
Also, it's on a loft so I won't have a full surround system, but I am looking into getting a soundbar to improve my sound when I'm not using headphones. Any recommendations?
And lastly, I also have PSVR and this TV will be up on a wall, so I won't have easy access to the HDMI slots. Since I don't want to lose HDR when I'm not playing PSVR, what's the recommended way to juggle the connections? Just leave two cables on two inputs and just do the 'ole reach around to swap them out?
Any input is greatly appreciated!!

rtings.com has good settings in general for TVs, start there and tweak towards your environment.
You aren't going to like the answer to the PSVR problem. I'm trying to deal with the same issue and short of spending $50 on switches and buying more hdmi2.0 cables your stuck with swapping.
Stay away from the x850, terrible contrast.
The vizio is good in 65 inch, but I find the picture to be more dull than the ks8000. Black levels on the vizio are better in 65 inch, and it does 120hz at 1080p for pc gaming. Input lag with HDR on the vizio is like triple the lag of the ks8000.

Samsung makes some shit products. Came home turned on my 2 month old 4K tv and there's a small yellow vertical line right down the middle. They're sending someone out at some point to fix it.
Also bought a Samsung tablet earlier in the year (S2), nearly melted on me. Then the galaxy note issues...
No more Sammy for me

I am going back and forth on this myself. 65 is probably to big even if I do want that. So my decision now is between the 60 8000 or the 55 8500, just have to decide if I like the curved TV better.

I was looking at the 55 or 65 x930d from Sony. If I wanted hdr, awesome upscaler, great screen with 3d (I have a 3d collection) and somewhat at least acceptable input lag in hdr,is there anything better in that price range? I'm not really a fan of Sammy after having some bad apples with them and the ks8000 doesn't have 3d regardless.
In other words, if I get a 930d will I be happy? I am actually planning on doing some more research and visiting a best buy soon, but wanted some neogaf initial opinions if you guys don't mind!

So in order for HDR I need to turn on dynamic along with HDR? I can't do dynamic in game mode or PC mode. So what then?

Are they planning on checking out the Sony Z9 series of TV's any time soon? Would love to see what kind of input lag they have with the HDR on. Those Master Backlit sets are impressive looking.
No plans to test the Z9D but I've seen other sources that had it around 45ms with HDR enabled.
Where do you get invites? I signed up with Samsung when I ordered my TV from them through the EPP program but I don't see any invites
PM me your name + e-mail.

Every time I see this thread I get more and more depressed I can't afford a 4k tv.
Not even a Sony XBR43X800D budget 4K HDR TV? It's a pretty nice price if you can live with the shortcomings like not full BT. 2020 and edge-led.
Best buy and amazon both offer 2 year zero interest financing.
Prices are total bullshit in Australia.
55 inch KS8000 would set you back about $2500. In terms of sales, the best deal you can hope for is a 20% coupon sale on ebay where the price might go down to about $2000.
The 65 inch is even worse. It costs $3600 before the discount.
I'm going to put off 4K TV's until the prices get more reasonable.

After comparing my 930 with my ks8000. I like the 930 better, especially watch movies. The colors are more "real" then the ks8000. I don't buy tvs just for gaming, I also watch movies and shows on it. ks8000 is nice too, but overall, I like the 930d. It's also thinner too.
The 930 also has way higher input lag in HDR content. If you plan to play HDR games it's not an option imo.
Been on the fence about a 4K TV but if the KS8000 can be had at 50" or 65" for the prices your mentioning, could I please get a code?
I'm in Canada though, even with the conversion this sounds like an awesome price and it's from Samsung directly right. Can anyone share a code/let me know exactly what I have to do? I think I'm going to bite if I can get hooked up... even if it's the 50"

I've played TLoU in HDR yesterday and it seemed alright. I am pretty sure upscaled 4K with 30fps will run good on the 930/940 tvs. Reason is because I bet Sony tests PRO on the 930/940, it would be very embarrassing for them if they don't run well.
I don't unserstand your argument? The game will run well on any TV, it's just that HDR games will have 60ms of input lag on the 930 vs 20 ms on the ks8000.
If you don't notice it, that's great, but plenty of people will, especially those playing with kb+m on their display.
Edit: also, sony isn't "testing pro", itd be the devs testing, and if theyre using a sony, theyd prob use the flagship z9d. Besides that, sony aren't the only people developing HDR games
Bottom line, if you care about input lag with HDR, the 930 is a poor choice.
Not sure if posted, but the editor of HDTVtest said this on his Twitter earlier today regarding the LG OLEDs:

Sounds promising! Wonder if they've managed to lower the input lag in HDR.

You are saying it's not an option. But I bet it will play just fine although the input lag is 3x high. You know why? I have my pc hooked up to the 930 and it plays just fine with my 1070 card with average 4K settings.
If you have actually read my post. I said the 930 is overall better because of the true colors. And I don't pick my tvs just for gaming.
You really don't think Sony wouldnt test their PRO on their own Sony tvs?
I'm saying that 60ms isn't "just fine", it is poor. Just because it doesn't bother you doesn't mean it's not an issue. I can't play competitive multiplayer at 40ms, let alone 60. Feels like moving underwater or something. It's not an option, especially for a 1600 dollar tv.

Ended up going for the PC Richard's Samsung 40KU6290. With the $25 newsletter discount and no tax I have a 40" 4k 10 bit "HDR" (not an expanded color gamut) but still Rtings runner up for best 40-43" 4K (same TV as the 6300 but a standard remote instead of smart). Ended up $305 shipped.

You think it's poor because of the number. But in reality it plays fine. I can ensure you because I play overwatch on it everyday on pc/tv.
I am no Sony fanboy. Like I said, I own both Sony and Sammy. My pick goes to the Sony for colors. It put lag may seem high for the Sony. But it plays fine and I am a fps gamer.
