What's your budget? As I understand it, the LG OLED UHD TVs are top of the line.

If you're looking for a new TV hop by this thread: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=516410
It all depends on your budget and what you want. Simply saying that you want HDR tv tells us nothing.

They don't handle HDR input lag well. They're gorgeous, but incredibly expensive. The KS8000 can do 23 ms of input lag in HDR mode because it can be in game mode as well. It's also $1100 at 50". Great future proof value for gaming.

My current set is a Sony hx850 46" was looking to make the jump to 55" for my next set. The Samsungs also seem much more expensive in Europe.

100% agree. its a beautiful tv. deep blacks. the controller is little, controls the consoles and all.
edit: 65" model. not sure of the controllers on other panels.

Wow, only that much in the us? I think the 50 inch version is 2500 to 2800 in Canada.

So would all recent Samsung tv's support HDR in game mode, as well?
Whats better this or the Vizios P Series?

The Samsung. Much less input lag with HDR enabled.

That is the TV that I want for my bedroom just waiting til black friday really really hope that it drops by half

So true. Lack of Dolby Vision scares me a bit, but that shouldn't effect gaming.
This is false.
The only answer really. It's gonna be my next TV.

You sure? This is from the Vizio website:
https://www.vizio.com/tvs/pseries/p75c1.html
Key Specs
High Dynamic Range: Yes, with Dolby Vision support
I did not see the other standard listed. I hope you're right though, as I generally prefer Vizio TVs.

The Vizios didn't support HDR10 (Dolby Vision only) at launch, but they followed through with their promise to add HDR10 support with a firmware update.

Whatever you do don't look at the lg e6.

I'm positive. They patched in HDR10 support.

Excellent! Thanks. What is the input lag on the Vizio P-series. anyone know?
The Vizio is an amazing value but I think if someone is watching in a room with a lot of light they're better off with the samsung.

If you can wait, I highly recommend getting the KS8000 over the P series even though it lacks Dolby Vision. I may just have to wait for a 2017 LG OLED.
Dynamic metadata is going to be a game changer, but that requires HDMI 2.1. This may or may not be an issue for current KS8000 owners since it comes with a separate box for all the ports. Meaning, theoretically, an updated box could be shipped that has HDMI 2.1 ports.
Keep in mind that while OLEDs provide a better image (at least to most people) since they offer deeper blacks, they can't get as bright as a LED and as such don't display as good of an HDR picture as OLEDs (again, at least to most people).
I think a 2017 LG OLED with better HDR input lag, higher peak brightness, and HDMI 2.1 ports would be god tier.

I need a 4K receiver to go with the tv too. Any recommendations? I'm not looking for speakers as I can use my existing ones hopefully? Don't really know a lot about this stuff. Current receiver is Onkyo with Onkyo speakers too which connect to the receiver by the naked copper wire bit of the lead from each speaker with the clips at the back of receiver to hold them.

Avoid all but the very best flagship Sony televisions. If you want superb HDR, look for the ones that use the alliance logo and spec. Samsung and Vizio and LG are good.

Samsung UHD sets have some minor issues with HDR - their can keep their peak brightness only on a very small part of screen for a very short time.
You realize that those premium logos are waste of time because they require meeting those parameters with test patter with tiny dot of white and tv doesn't even have to mantain that peak brightness for any serious amount of time ?
Panasonic DX750 will have better HDR picture than Samsung Premium certified tvs...

NOOO why are you recommending that screen? The edge lit dimming is horrible.
So many people are buying these half featured, half baked HDR screens. See it in person, ask for a demo, watch it in a dark room and essepcially ask for some specific HDR demos (I prefer the paris 2015 and fox fire 2015 demos) you'll see how bad an edge lit handles HDR's biggest feature.
The Samsung lacks dolby vision. If you haven't already read both of their reviews over at rtings.com
keep in mind with the vizio p series the size screen you get also impacts the panel. Make sure you get at least 65 inch.

What he said. 50" is 60hz and 55" has an IPS panel.
I have the 60 inch with an xbox one S hooked up. Love it. Picture is amazing

The B6 and C6 have pretty much the same image quality. Input lag is reportedly better on the C6 though, but E6 is the best option in the OLED department so far as input lag is concerned.
Sony helped develop the standard and if you read the article, it even mentions how all but the very best Sony tv's this year do not offer the same level as the spec. Just something to think about. For a lot of people 4K HDR televisions are going to be a once in 5 year+ type purchase.
People should always look at televisions in person, tinker with the picture settings, read reviews etc.
Yup. Looking at this. Gonna see how much it is during BF, if not in my price I'll wait until early next year.
Yeah let me sell my car first.

I bet it will hit the ~$750 range.
I'm seriously considering the Vizio 75 inch, but the price between it and the 65 inch is ridiculous. The 75 inch price gets into 65" OLED territory and for that I should probably just wait until 2017 like you mentioned and see what LG does with their new OLEDs.

P series does HDR 10 the latest firmware update.
