Q: Difference between this "SUHD" and the "UHD" model

A: Well you're paying for a better panel. 10bit panel vs a 8 bit. The SUHD also has Samsungs version of quantum dot (nano crystals). This technology is used for achieving a larger color spectrum. It is also HDR ready. I've also noticed that the 10 bit panels have lower motion blur. This is calculated by the led response time not refresh rate. It the time it takes an led to change from one color to another.

Q: Can another remote be used with this TV

A: Yes. I use a Logitech Hamony Touch

Q: How is XBOX One and PS4 on this TV?

A: I've got Xbox One and bought this tv about 4 days ago. I've only played Fallout 4 on it, but I can tell you that it has been amazing so far. My son has played BF4, and Rainbow 6 as well as a few others and has no negative comments so far. There is a "game" setting, but I haven't tried that yet. We've been playing with the tv at the standard settings. Hope that helps a bit.

Q: Difference Between 240 and 240Hz

A: This TV is 120hz 10 bit panel. No 4k TV has 240hz panel nor will there be any in 2015 from any manufacturer. The 240 motion refresh is a chip that will proccess it up to 240. Not sure what your trying to ask but refresh rate does not determine motion blur or image trailing. That is determined by led response time. The time it takes an led to change from one color to another. Check out rtings.com for response times.

Q: samsung model un55js8500 do you need to buy different hdmi cable

A: I connected my cable box with the HDMI cable provided by Fios and everything works fine. Picture is great.

Q: what is the width of the included stand? also, is it possible to get a swivel stand?

A: The stand has a 34" by 9" foot print and I am not aware of any swivel stand for it other than a wall mount which some are capable of.

Q: Is this a 2015 model or 2016?

A: It's a 2015 model but a very excellent choice of tv
