Two years ago I purchased model UN65HU9000FXZA. Once the connector box got slow with the apps, I bought this evolution kit and my TV works great again. I highly recommend buying the evolution kit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I purchased this for my 65HU8550 which was 4K. This is an upgrade for the hub and 4K it will give u hdr color. If your tv is newer than 2015 not a huge upgrade. It is silver but it hooks into the one connect (evolution hookup) but sits on a shelf. You can hook your hdmi hardware into it. Automatically turns on when u turn your tv on. You will have to set it up. Comes with instructions, also on YouTube can walk u thru it. If u have an early 4K tv it's a must. There is a list on line for the tv it works with but I'm sure I saw yours when I looked.

I have a Samsung UN65HU9000FXZA that I bought in August of 2014, it came with an Evolution Kit that had UHD 65 tag on it and was silver with black trim. The new one SEK-3500U is all silver. It is only for certain models though, so make sure it is available for your model. The reason I upgraded was that I bought a 4k DVD player, when i put the first 4k disc in I got an on screen error saying something like : You will not be able to view the movie at the full 4k HDR experience because your screen is not capable blah, blah, blah. So, after getting the same response as you did from Samsung support, I began the painful process of sifting through all the internet forums etc. looking for the answer. And it turns out that the upgrade allows the my tv to read HDR PQ formats. So I bought it and then tried watching the 4k DVD and it worked with no pop up errors! Below is a web address that I found that best describes the update and at the bottom of the article shows which TVs this upgrade applies to.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. It is. Have it on mine with the Xbox one s and works well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. The sek3500u gives you a tizen octacore processor for better smart tv performance. It also updates codecs for future 4k content. It also gives you some form of HDR as much is possible with an 8-bit panel which your tv has.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The evolution kit is for any 4k tv from 2014 or 2015. I thought my 2014 samsung 4k was great until I bought the kit...then it was even better. The colors are more vivid ... I do recommend it, even though you can almost buy a brand new 4k for $400.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.What you got originally was probably called a One Connect 1000 box. The latest is the 3500 One Connect or Evolution kit 3500. It is the last one that Samsung will make because they are putting all the content in newer tv's. I just put the 3500 on my 2014 65 inch UH 8700 and even my wife , who doesn't watch much tv, saw a big difference in the quality of the picture. When these boxes are gone there will be no more, according to my TV guy, so get it now and return it if you don't like the results.
