A:AnswerSo, HDMI is a somewhat complex issue. HDMI is a digital interface for signal. This is opposed to the older analog system. Digital systems are generally considered lossless. That is, any information at the start of the cable will be at the end of the cable. If information is lost along the way, the tv can generally compensate, thanks to the encoding that the digital system uses as a "handshake." For picture quality, there will probably not be a difference in terms of visuals because either the signal will make it to the end or it won't (you will either get a picture or you will not get a picture). So, Monster cable won't provide a better picture. However, there can be differences in cable build quality such as more shielding from excessive radiation (crosstalk between different cables), longevity from cable management (if the cable is moved between different items), and plating (the tips may be coated differently to ensure a better connection between tv and cable). So, the question should not be if the picture is better but if the quality of the build of the cable is worth the expense. Would you rather purchase one cable for the next 10 years of use or many cheap cables. I tend to fall into the buy cheap cables and exchange them as needed because newer standards for HDMI are constantly created as better picture becomes available (such as 4K, 8K, etc.).
Another factor is audio quality. Audio is different from video in that the signal at some point has to change to an analog interface (in order to create the vibration of the speaker which uses an electric charge to adjust pitch and volume). Some argue that there may be a noticeable difference in audio quality with better cables. I personally, have never experienced a difference. You may. However, the evidence tends to point toward a placebo effect with audio cables where expense causes the listener to feel that the audio is better.
A:AnswerNo it does not swivel. Be very very careful if you opt to set it up yourself. I am shopping for a new tv because the screws came out of the base, the tv fell and is now junk. It took a year for the screws to come out, so check the base once and awhile and make sure the screws are still there and secure. The tv was awesome, best picture ever and I want another one!
A:AnswerHD content still looks amazing. This TV delivers a television broadcast and plays DVDs or Blu ray disks in the format in which they are sent. So if you are watching an NFL game from your satellite receiver that broadcasts in 1080p at 60Hz, the TV will deliver the program at 1080p 60Hz. If you are using a newer blu ray player to upscale your current blu ray 1080p disks to 2160p, it will display in 2160p.
Basically, the television does not upscale any content, it only matches the resolution and refresh rates to the signal it receives.
A:AnswerI had blur but it was because all of the advanced picture features were turned on. I turned that stuff off and the picture suddenly had depth and moves clearly. Most people are unaware that these features are turned on.
I suppose if you had a low quality picture source it might help, but not for modern media.
A:AnswerIt's part of the full model number. Some retailers don't add the letters in ads or the website, but it's the same TV.

A:AnswerAt first, my UN55JU6500 wouldn't work with Netflix. All other apps worked fine, but Netflix failed to start/load. But then I read on the Internet that changing the TVs wifi settings could help (read on Cnet forums, I think). It was suggested to manually set the DNS to 8.8.8.8. on the TV (as opposed to the default of auto DNS). And now Netflix works. I don't understand how or why. I don't even know what DNS is, but changing it helped me; so figured I'd post it here in case it can help anyone else.
A:AnswerYes, this model has a digital optical audio output, and an analog audio output.
When paired with select Samsung Audio bars, you can also transfer audio wirelessly from your TV to your audio bar.

A:AnswerThe headphone would need to use a fixed output on the television, and that can be enabled in the audio menu.
