This television might be of interest to some of you that want a 65" television (like me).
Here is a link to a previous deal on here when it was more expensive.
John Lewis mentions that it has recently had an update to make it hdr compatible..whatever that means??
Here is the blurb from their website....
Game-Changing HDR
Forays into colour-boosting High Dynamic Range (HDR) have begun, and Samsung are one of the forerunners. As members of the newly-founded UHD Alliance, they've rolled out a firmware update that makes this set HDR-compatible.
I'm done with Samsung - great picture but poor long term support; they're no longer making the evo kits they promised to make my set upgradeable, skype are ditching the platform - TV suddenly not so 'smart' any more
Shabby attitude to customers investing in their platforms - TVs aren't replaced as often as mobile phones; I think I'll go for the dumbest TV I can find next time or go with Android

Well, if Samsung have indeed just given this television an HDR update, then that seems to be pretty good support to me.
Ive got a latest edition amazon fire 4k box, which should just about keep any television as 'smart' as I want it, even without long term support from Samsung

Good price but not a great TV, reviews suggest picture image issues, sports viewing blur, light leakage

In that case we need a great tv, with a good price, and hdr, and great reviews.
Hmmm, i ll keep looking

Where did you see the reviews - can't seem to find any for this model?

Trouble is to get a great 4K TV HDR etc. You probably have to look at >£3-4K which is the trade off unfortunately

Agreed, that is a HUGE trade off even though this tv does have hdr

Amazon is a good place to start

I have the 40" JU6400 which is a higher model than this which I use as a PC monitor and I haven't received a firmware update for HDR. Can't seem to find any info about it on avforums / avsforums either.
John Lewis page for the JU6400 also mentions HDR support with a firmware update.
There are 2 updates for the 65" version
One in Nov 15 and one in Feb 16.
I wonder if the one in Feb 16 was the HDR update?

It's great as a monitor. I don't use any scaling settings for Windows but I do use scaling for web browsing, set at 125%.
It replaced a 1440p BenQ BL3200PT monitor. The Samsung is much better.
I've already applied the Feb 2016 update to my set. Still no HDR support.

Thanks for all of that.
Here's a thought...it is advertised as an HDR tv on the John Lewis website.
If I buy it, and if it doesn't get an HDR update within a month or so, then I could probably send it back as being not as described.
Could be an option?
