Amazing Clarity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really apprehensive about making this particular purchase only because i was looking to get the best of the best for the $$$. I was looking at purchaseing the LG OLED's which to me looked absolutely amazing but the prize was almost double the price i purchased this samsung for. When the tv was delivered it was much larger than i thought it would be or larger than i viewed it in the store so i was certainly pleased. I've owned nothing but SAMSUNG Tv's in the past . Overall the picture is amazing - I love the menu options. the only down side i would have to say is that the remote does not light up. The remote is very sleek and modern looking, however, it does not have any lights to see in the dark and that is the only con in this list of pro's!
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Color, Easy setup

Best TV for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my old Smart TV (which was not Smart at all with technology so advanced now compared to what it was 5 years ago) with this TV. I kept debating, do I really need another TV when I have a nice TV that works perfectly fine. I'm glad that I did upgrade to this TV. I love the colors of this TV. The Smart App is far better and practical compared to what I had before. The voice option with the TV remote is pretty good. I was able to set up the TV fairly quickly. I like the design of the TV, it looks quite elegant. I didn't have any issues with my last Samsung 1080p TV in the last 5 years and I'm enjoying this TV so far (it's been a little more than 2 months). I've posted a couple screenshots from a game that I played on this TV.

Excellent time to buy !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After extensive research and testing ( Sony 8 series tried and failed) I waited for one of the three best times to buy a tv during the retail year; Black Friday, Christmas/Newyear, and Super Bowl week. At 999.99 only Black Friday can sometimes beat the other two holidays. As for my selection, there are excellent sutes that have done extensive testing on all the current models and simply put, this tv comes the closest to OLED models without the price tag ! That being said it boils down to 'diminishing returns' because of can spend more money and improve your picture quality but not in a truly appreciable way. That is to say better models exist for picture quality but not at this price point and with the features of the Samsung. The One connect is a BRILLIANT innovation. When you mount a 55" or larger to a swing arm on the wall you will truly appreciate the simplicity of only one wire to the TV and a power cable! The Sony setup is old school and awkward to say the least! The only negative I have to add is minimal and it's the controller, it's so small it gets lost and easily gets random buttons pressed... loose that and your Golden! Buy this TV!

Happy at last
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally purchased a 55"Sony 850-D. I just couldn't commit to that model 100% due to the fact that the picture just didn't stand out. The Sony had a dull,Dimmer picture,even after many different picture calibrations. I looked at the Samsung KS-8000 in the store and kicked myself for not sticking with Samsung. I have all Samsung Tvs and luckily enough I was able to return well after return date expiration due to being an elite member. This TV is considered a "Mid level" Television but I believe it to be on the High end level. The picture is extremely glossy and the colors just stand out. Shows like How it's made look live. The TV itself is a nice looking seamless edge look. I can't review the sound as I am using a soundbar. I can guarantee that if you are on the fence with Samsung or another brand,rest assure that Samsung should be the choice to make. Their ability to design a television with superior picture quality is why they are the leaders in Tvs. The remote is very similar to Fire stick remote and oddly enough it's extremely user friendly. The tv has a separate box that allows you to connect a single cord to the tv and you plug in other Hdmi cords and optical to that box. The box can sit a foot away from the tv. I have a floating shelf behind my tv so everything is hidden,blue ray,cable box,etc. Get this tv,you won't be disappointed at all.

Good, But Everything is Relative
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bottom line: pretty good (compared to the very few options that are out there) -- really fantastic in many ways -- but time will tell. Before I bought this TV, my last TV purchase was a Panasonic 13in CRT, purchased sometime around the dawn of the millennium. It was about 10% of the cost of this Samsung product. I say this only to put my review into perspective. From my viewpoint, the technology is astounding, yet it seems that any television in this price range is more flawed, at least in build quality and/or design (which may be only cosmetic if you're lucky), than my early 2000's relic. At the same time, I guess that's pretty good since that's all one is going to find for the price. Everything overall is fine, but a little "off". And I guess I'm OK with that. Build: I was hesitant to purchase this product after seeing other reviews, mostly of the non-curved model, complaining about the back panel separating from the rest of the unit. I thought I might have more luck with the curved one, since I've only seen one complaint (though there are far less curved models reviewed). Immediately upon opening the box and glancing at the unit, I noticed the back panel was uneven with the display, flush in some spots, while appearing to already be separating just a little (no gap) in other spots. It is such a minor imperfection that I may have not even noticed had I not been aware of others' issues. So, are they all like this? Do I take it back? Am I being too critical? I just don't know. It could just stay like that, or maybe it will slowly pull away, nanometer by nanometer, over days, months, years... Who knows? I read in other reviews that heat may have been causing or exacerbating the problem of the panel pulling away around the edges. The good news is that there is no perceivable warmth coming from the back of the unit around the top and side edges, and the area that appears to be slightly separated hasn't changed after 26 days and several hours of usage. The fit and finish of the bottom of the unit is just odd and doesn't look "right", especially at the corners. Again, it may or may not be normal and it may or may not be a problem. If it's just cosmetic, who cares, right? You can't see it unless you are looking directly underneath the TV. The legs that hold it up are in my opinion an excellent design, both in function and in an aesthetic sense. The are so minimalistic, yet very sturdy. Display: I chose this model and brand over other options because the reviews of the display are overwhelmingly in favor of this Samsung TV. It is really amazing, especially when compared to the Sony model in a similar price range. The color, contrast, and clarity are exceptional, the blacks are deep black. If I didn't know any better, I'd say there was something wrong with the lighting, however, as it appears cloudy when most or all of the display is black. I guess that's normal, though, for a $1000+ LED television. I have to admit, I can't tell the difference between watching a Blueray DVD and 4K content, so maybe I would have been just as happy (or more happy) with a much less expensive product. The display is so sharp and clear at times, it's almost distracting. Objectively, that's obviously a good thing. I watched some of Back to the Future on blueray and noticed a LOT of things I never noticed before, from details in the background to the difference in makeup on Christopher Lloyd's neck between his 1985 character and the 1955 representation of his character. Functionality: It's generally good. Just wonky and/or unnecessarily annoying at times. Sometimes it does exactly what you want (find and open an app or signal), and sometimes it doesn't. And there's advertisements in the menu. Is that normal? I paid over $1000; just seems like I shouldn't have to deal with ads. Some of the apps just plain suck (Facebook) and some have not been reliable, like the SiriusXM app. There is a microphone feature for interfacing as well. Surprise! Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it isn't. Initially, I was really annoyed with the lighted Samsung logo at the bottom of the frame around the display, but I figured out how to turn it off in the settings. Sound: I've read that TVs like this generally have poor sound quality. I was pleasantly surprised to find it sounds pretty darn good. Nonetheless, I can only assume a soundbar would offer a significant improvement in audio enjoyment. In summary, I'm happy so far. Maybe it's just me, but I feel one should get a better product for this kind of money. Yet, what else is there? Will it fall apart on my birthday next year? Will one of the bazillion pixels in the center of the display suddenly malfunction and taunt me every time I want to enjoy this thing? Time will tell. Am I an insufferably indecisive, miserly perfectionist? Probably. Would I recommend this TV to a friend? In it's current state, yes. I want, at least, a quality UHD 60Hz 55" HDR display, and unless I want to pay hundreds, even thousands, more, I suppose this is as good as it gets.

I'm on my second exchange due to defect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brilliant picture but i have had to exchange my first one UN55KS8000 due to dark spot on the screen. Second one, i upgradedvto a UN65KS8500 which just died after few days. No picture, no sound, screen and red power botton light just keeps blinking. So, I called Samsung, bad customer service, unable to diagnose the problem. So Best Buy replaced my TV with another UN65KS8500

Fantastic Quality!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my new Samsung UHD TV! The picture quality provides a completely different viewing experience. It's like the cameras are following the actors and I am following behind the cameras, as though I am right there. And this is for non-4K broadcast TV programs that are being upscaled! My only complaint, and it's a small one, is the lag time to go from one activity to another. It takes a couple of seconds for the picture to come on and another couple of seconds for the sound from the AV receiver to come on. There is also a lag going from watching the TV to going to the Smart TV. The Smart TV experience is new to me too. I love watching YouTube videos in 4K and watching Amazon videos in 4K on the large screen. I was concerned about the silver border but it really isn't visible. The silver stand is OK but I would have preferred the typical black stand. I upgraded from a 40" Samsung HD TV to the 55" UHD TV since I moved into a larger home and needed to the larger size TV. I love it!!

Q: QuestionDoes this TV have HDR ?
Asked by Joe.
- A:Answer Yes, this TV supports HDR10. Although there is something you should and that there is currently a format war going on with which HDR format will become the 4K standard. There are currently two formats, HDR10 which is an open format, can be installed via firmware update and is a lot cheaper for companies to not only install but use. Then there is Dolby Vision HDR which needs to be physically installed the TV, requires specific parts and chips from Dolby and has to meet a higher HDR standard. Samsung and Sony are going HDR10, and LG and Vizio are going Dolby Vision and from what LG told me is that after April their TVs will also support HDR10. Netflix is currently working on bring HDR10 streaming and Vudu already has 4K Dolby Vision HDR which can only be seen from the Roku 4 and Vizio models that support Dolby Vision. The only issue I have is... If and when a format is selected, one will lose and I don't want to be with the losing side. So if HDR10 loses the format, then our Samsung TVs will be outdated and not be able to play Dolby Vision HDR.

Q: QuestionWe have connected the TV to cable and are using the appropriate HDMI cables. The picture does not look as good as expected. It is hard to believe but I feel as though the TV I replaced, Panasonic Viera 1080p 3D, had a better picture. Any ideas?
Asked by SomewhereInCT.
- A:Answer This is caused by your cable companies choice of broadcast resolution. If they are still broadcasting in 720p the picture will be fuzzy or have a blur to It. The reason is simple; the source content is using a 1280x720 pixel grid, when that information is upscaled to 4k or 3890x2160 pixels there is no additional information for the scaler to work with so it creates the needed information. Just like if you were out if mustard for your sandwich, you would scrape the mustard jar and spread it the best you can. You will have a slight taste of mustard but not a full taste. Try watching a OTA broadcast, or a DVD/Blu-ray. It will look the way you had expected it to look.

Q: QuestionAre there any backlight issues with this new set?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I have only owned this TV for a little over 24 hours, but I have not noticed any backlight issues. The picture quality is definitely lacking out of the box, so adjusting basic and advanced settings relative to the room the TV is in is necessary if you want exceptional picture quality.

Q: QuestionCan someone please measure the distance from leg to leg? I know the tv width is 48" but the legs don't seem to reach the edge. My tv Stand is 48" and I'm hoping it'll fit.
Asked by CLSDV.
- A:Answer The legs are flared with 40" clearance just under the screen and measure tip to tip on the table at 44". My last Samsung UHD 55, I tipped over with just a slight elbow while reaching around the screen. So I installed a top strap on this unit. My table cabinet is only 48" wide, so I also drilled two holes under each leg(4) for a black zip tie to go into my cabinet and zip up there, holding each leg individually. This set is very light and very fragile. It takes two ppl to remove safely from it's box b/c you can damage it by squeezing the screen too hard. There are instructions on the outside of the box on how to remove. I had a friend hold the set while I installed cables and straps...a two man job.
