Hey guys, just a quick thread because of how much foggy is the world of TVs, as they never properly show specs

So I basically understood that for true HDR you need a 10 bit panel, like the Samsung KS7000 and KS8000. But I don't really know if the 8000 is worth the 200/300 bucks difference over the 7000, as the only difference I can find is a bit more DPIs and an alleged "superior" local dimming. What do you think?

Also, do you think 55" displays are excessive over 49"? The distance I'd put it would be something like 4-5 meters

As someone with an projector that gives the equivalent of a 200" screen, 55" definitely isn't excessive. But it's a personal thing. Don't think you'd be moving your head much at that distance.
Can't answer the first q though.

Got it, thanks

Get a Sony CLEDIS.

Also, I've seen the KS9000 for whatever reason costs about the same as a KS7000, though it has better specs than the KS8000. The problem is that it's curved. Are curved TVs shit, or it's absolutely the same as a flat TV?

I have the 2016 model 65" 8000 series. Lord, what picture.

Get LG OLED

Also, just so we're clear, Samsung's model numbers are maximum confusing for different regions:
KS7000 in europe = KS8000 in NA
KS7500 in europe = KS8500 in NA
KS8000 in europe = KS9000 in NA
KS9000 in europe = KS9500 in NA

I got KS7000 earlier this year. The main difference to KS8000 is in build quality, not much else really. There's tons of stories about KS7000 having bad panels, backplate falling off and such, but at least I got lucky and have had zero issues with mine.

It's a great TV, but motion is it's biggest shortcoming. Same with this year's lineup. In hindsight, I'd probably wait for this year's Sony models to get cheaper, they seem best overall. Sony has higher input lag than Samsung, so consider that too if you plan on playing vidya.

>I basically understood that for true HDR you need a 10 bit panel
For HDR, you just need a TV that can reach sufficient brightness to make full use of HDR. See: rtings.com/tv/learn/hdr-vs-sdr

>Also, do you think 55" displays are excessive over 49"? The distance I'd put it would be something like 4-5 meters
I got 55" and I happily watch it at 3 meters. Always get the biggest your wallet lets you.

>"superior" local dimming
Local dimming is pretty shitty in KS7000 desu. Sometimes I just turn it off, because it's more distracting than anything.

KS9000 is just curved KS8000, no other difference. Curved is shit for TVs, don't fall for that meme.

Thank you for your time, kek
For curved monitors, yeah I imagined so

Prolly gonna get the KS7000 then? As there is no real reason to pay for 200-300 more for the KS8000. Maybe gonna drop 50-100 more to extend warranty to 5 years so that I don't get anally raped when the back plate falls off, KEK

>buying a smart tv

Don't connect it to internet. Problem solved.

Lol, why?

Not them but the last time i found a smart TV(LG) on a network it was listening on port 1241 used by NESSUS Vulnerability Scanner.

>try to see TVs specs
>need to know the refresh rate
>1900 Hz
How is this shit not punishable by law

Maybe it is 1900 Hz, remember plasma used to have refresh rates around 600 Hz, but that was just the technology used for dimming, actual rate was 60 Hz.
In any case if they are listing bullshit numbers you know is around 30 and 60, or else they would put the refresh rate on the name of the product.

>an projector

I've read somewhere LG is shit for fake HDR

J is 2015, K is 2016. KU is UHD. KS is SUHD (with HDR and UHD Alliance-certified high dynamic range specs.) 7000/8000/9000 etc are series (usually styling). x,500 usually means curved screen. KU7000 has Active Crystal Color technology, which essentially the same as the Quantum Dot technology of the KS7000.
The KS8000 is very similar to the KS7000, with the former having better sound (60w vs 40w) and two tv tuners.

Which one would you recommend? I mean, which are worth the money?

>as someone who
I WANT REDD*T TO LEAVE

4 or 5 meters?! You need a 85"+ for proper home theater experience user
