​ I'm not sure that your in-depth review of this TV has quite done enough to put me off it, but thanks all the same.a

Cold. not CRT

7 hours.

Cold not OLED

great tv going to be keeping my eye on this for friday, looking at the slightly larger one

standard resolution is best watched on a standard resolution tv. So, this is useless for me. Can anyone address me to a good crt tv please

This is on ebuyer for 350 :smiley:

​ha ha ha your post crack me up :laughing:

Glad this is still helping people...

Good deal

This set now replaced with UE40KU6020

The only difference seems to be the stand is now chrome. The specs seem the same after I compared them between the Samsung UK and NL sites.

Watch this video to see the KU6020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI_iV1D-P7k

RS has released a new model with the same price:

http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/samsung/ue40ku6020/sams-ue40ku6020

Anyone knows the difference between the 6000 and 6020?

Is a long guarantee worth it? Yes, I believe so. I had an LG screen fail on me (a few rows of pixels were dodgy) and John Lewis replaced it with no fuss whatsoever. It was just over 2 years old. The other reason is that the guarantee is transferable so it's a useful selling point if you decide to sell after a year or so - it still has 2-3 years guarantee. Hope that's helpful. PS ... and of course if you DO keep it for 5 or 6 years - you're covered!

its 8-bit come on at that price

The input lag is round 24ms in game mode which is amazing :smiley:

under 30ms in game mode :smiley: great tv for gaming, You can't use HDR in full with game mode but other than that its a great set :smiley:

The KU6000 does have a 10bit panel but it doesn't have a wide colour gamut nor does it get bright enough for HDR like the KS7000 and above do.

The review below is for the US version which is the same but the model number is slightly different.

http://uk.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ku6300

The Samsung KU6000 has 1300Hz of PQI and PurColor whereas the KU64000 are
Lively Crystal Shade and 1500 / 1600Hz.

This is the first im hearing of this. They usually go the extra mile for me. I went to croydon brand to reserve an open box q7000 speakers for half price. When i went to buy it it has been sold. Went back to richer sounds croydon again. They apologised and ordered in a brand new one for same price to their store even though they dont transfer discontinued and sale item due to price. I was very happy.

This because of better black levels. Other thing will probably be better on samsung too. Like response time. Power consumption. Only hisense i wouldve got wa 65 inch due to lower price at £799. But now im waiting for a samsung version.

Whats the spec difference between them please

Op. You put 6yrs warranty. Shop says guarantee

Cheers I'll do that toinght then

Definitely.

i think you should buy 50inch 55inch or 60inch 4ktv there loads out there but there seems to be a fire sale of 40inch 4ktvs i.e. cheaper than some hdtvs of same size so 4k at 40inchs is pointless thats why there cheap :confused:

This, or the 6400 for £449 currently at Crampton and Moore (price matched by John Lewis)?

http://www.cramptonandmoore.co.uk/samsung-ue40ku6400-40-inch-uhd-hdr-pro-smart-tv.html

Can someone tell me why all 4k display videos in shops are really,really slow?
I saw one that was billed as MotoGP,and thought, here we go a proper test , but it was in super slow motion!
I can't help but think all the content is handpicked to conceal the flaws.
Is it true, resolution drops as the content speeds up? Blurring is the norm on fast sequences?

As for RicherSounds, they are worth the watching that lot!!

They had a bargain TV, instore only, drove the 23 miles to Edinburgh ordered the tv only to be charged £30 delivery as they didn't have one in stock.
So because they didn't have one in stock I get to pay £30 extra!
When I gave them a fair review of their practices on Google they had the review removed, bunch of chancers!
Hope to hear from them soon!

4k 40 inch is pointless... As somone thats owned one believe me, unless youre using it as a monitor and sitting close.

JL price matched me the Tesco Direct price of £398 when it was in stock. Try price matching with Crampton and Moore who also have it for £399....

I tried to get JL to price match the richer sounds price on Sunday, but they wouldn't as richer sounds didn't have stock in their local branch at the time (Though they were expecting more on Thursday). I very much doubt that they will match Argos' price with the promo code applied. JL do not have the high customer service that they used to, in my opinion.

Will JL price match this and with discount price?

tv still cheaper at argos with code TVS10 works on all tvs over £350 :confused:

Thanks GRSC, I think my nearest store is a couple counties away so I'll give them a ring see what they say

The TV industry is absolute cut throat, so I can imagine that they possibly lose money on this TV..hence why they won't have couriers throwing them about and damaging them.
You might get lucky and get it delivered if ordered over the phone...as some people already have.

I ordered over the phone from Richer Sounds and they sent it via courier the next day.

On your website it says this is not available for online ordering? You're missing out on a bucket load of orders including myself as there isn't an RS store in my county

I was extremely sorry to read your comments on the thread and offer my sincere apologies.

Customer Service is paramount to us so it’s obviously concerning to read of any occasion where we have a dissatisfied customer. Indeed, we certainly should have refunded your delivery charge when you chose to cancel the order.

Please be assured we do take such complaints seriously and I will investigate with the store manager and team to ensure the steps are put in place preventing this reoccurring in the future.

I understand that the order has now been refunded in full and that our Customer Service team have been in touch to resolve the matter.

Of course if I can be of any more help feel free to drop me a PM.

Many Thanks

OLED is a transition technology with problems, QLED should replace it, although it's not quite as good currently in colour representation. Nothing beats laser though, but I've not seen any evidence of any company investing in 4K/8K laser, maybe Mitsubishi will get back in to it.

Avoid Richer Sounds, just placed the order and didn't realise there was £14.99 delivery charge for the TV which increases the cost compared to Argos price (also I had an additional £10 voucher off that I could use together with the promo code TV10). I then called same day today to cancel however only to be informed it was too late to cancel and if I did I would lose my delivery charge as it was a 24 hour delivery service and it was too late. I then received an email later this evening to inform me that my delivery will be on Friday!! I have cancelled the delivery directly with the delivery company and have made a formal complaint to London Bridge branch. Not sure if all branches are like this however avoid the London Bridge branch, bunch of crooks!

Always choose Auto motion plus, custom and have judder reduction set to 1. I have LED clear motion to off as well

No issues after that at all. Mine is the JU6400 series however but i assume it should give similar results.

I bought one of these last month, and can honestly say that I'm well impressed with the prcessing speed and colours. I played a DVD of Finding Nemo on my 58" 4K Panasonic TV (not HDR) and can honestly say I was unabel to watch it. The Samsung blew the Panasonic out of the water, colurs were amazing and apartfrom the occasional judder the difference was massive in terms of quality -

Link to the 50 inch please ?

Hehe, posts like these make me wish my bedroom's 8 year old Samsung LE40C750 would give up the ghost.

Using the Argos TV10 code you mention there would bring this TV down to £377, so the difference is £73, not £50.

why is this still hot the 50 inch same model tv is £450 in argos with code TV10 so £50 for another 10inchs make a big difference on a 4k screen?

The KU6400 is NOT a 10 bit panel.

KS7000 and above are 10 Bit panels.

I bought this yesterday and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. Weirdly, putting it in 'game mode' with the Xbox One lead to some intermittent glitches and flashes on the screen. In standard mode, no such issue.
I haven't done any other tweaking in the settings as the image seams great with the out-of-the-box settings.
The quality of the sound is a pleasant surprise for me too, in comparison to other flat screens I've had over the past 5 years or so.

Forget the jargon try to ascertain if the TV has a 8 or 10 bit panel obviousley it's the 10 bit you want it's been said before there is no significant gain to be had with HDR on a 8 bit panel.

I am so confused. Looking fior a new tv for ps4 pro but both descriptions on RiicherSounds say "Samsung's UHD TVs with HDR Pro" so sure they both are HDR10 ?

Well put! Not to mention that post clearly states notOLED. Some people must have too much time on their hands.

There are slight patches if I'm honest, but I'm only really seeing them when the screen is white, the settings app in windows 10 being the main culprit.

The trade off in quality easily surpasses any shortcomings in terms of tech for me, disabling the auto motion corrected the FIFA issue I had too, so it's almost been the perfect upgrade.

Just can't seem to shift my old one now Hahahaha

Thanks for the reply. Have you tried it in a very dark room.........the ultimate test for an edge lit LCD ?

Are you getting any light bleed or patches or would you say its a pretty even panel ?

It is a which? best buy and got 73% so it can't be that bad.

Out of the box it's fairly noticeable but I've sat and played with the settings all afternoon and got a near perfect picture for what I was looking for, been playing FIFA 17 in 4K for the last hour on PC and it looks sublime

​How are the black levels and is the screen uniformity good ??

Always a bit wary of edge lit screens, but this one does look decent.

Is it likely this will come down in price for Black Friday?

Does the curved version of this TV give any advantages?

Just had mine delivered, using it for XB1, ps4 and PC, sound quality is really good despite some conflicting reports, seems great for gaming, little motion judder with fifa, but that's about all i've noticed so far, 4k is stunning for the price, i've a 55 inch sony at the other end of the living room that i paid more than twice the price for, and it's arguably better.

This TV has built in WiFi.

Not sure what the input lag is but its not hdr10 as i looked into this tv for my ps4 pro and gave sony the model number and they told me although its HDR because its not HDR10 compliant anything played through the ps4pro willjust play in regular 4k with no HDR

2 questions:

HDR10?

Input lag?

If input lag is bad or HDR is not 10 then no buy unfortunately

that's great. Glad you got it price matched

Bought today from John Lewis (price match). Easy setup, watching freeview or itv on demand and very happy with the picture and sound (surprisingly). Seemed a great deal and I'm very happy with purchase,

Would that not make it hot? :neutral_face:

Thanks for the prompt reply

Was
first
For max discount of £30 but 8% quidco also

Good price. The 55" is showing as £749 for me, what code did you use please? Could be tempted myself. Cheers.

Damn you auto correct, you are my nemesis... I meant... Thank you for the info

That's for the info

The 40'' curved version identical to this model is £450 here but there's a £30 voucher code and 8% quidco

No gurnatree for 6 years but you've got legal rights anyway

Just bought the 49" 4K curved 6100 version for living room

Only £505 on groupon after code and quid co

Same model was £700 on ao / currys / richer sound

lol

About 8" I reckon.

yes

that's cool. I had to do the same with a TV I bought from them

I have an old 2007 32" sony bravia 1080p tv would I notice a massive difference owning this tv?

Me.

Didn't have any in store at Cheltenham so I've ordered from their warehouse to pick up on Friday.

Just curious... How many people actually pulled the trigger in this?

nice spot

same tv £381.05 with code TV10 at argos no 6 year warranty code works on all tvs over £350

Thanks to all for voting

Wow.. Just got 1000 heat

I agree OLED panels are very difficult to manufacture and has a serious amount of wastage. Hence the price premium.
It will be years before they drop to any where near this low price.

Sounds like you saw a very poorly calibrated OLED. Or some badly mastered content.

People should calm down about OLED, though. Good chance it never properly comes down in price to become affordable technology.

Nice! It's perfect for CIV 5 then...

I dont think this is true anymore. Panasonic plasma been excellent and lcd was bad for a while, but in last 2 years there are some great LCD panels. You can pick up some of the 2014 top lcds like pana ax902 or samsung js9000 series for similiar money like last panasonic plasmas VT 65 series selling on ebay.

I had VT50, then Samsung JU7000 and now to panasonic AX902 and would never go back to plasma. Direct lit LCD panel produces excellent black levels and picture seems to me same if not better. And dont have to care about burni in problems every time kids leave xbox on or mrs watching same channel for whole day. Plus people still seems to have some weird following for this plasmas so second hand prices are still fairly high for 3 +years old tvs.
And Oleds are down in price - you can pick up new LG oled for around £1000. Yes it is not 4K or HDR but not many people will feed relevant signal for a while. I am not too impressed by 4K at the moment. Demos for 4K are great with all the slow panning details shots, once you watch movie or sports it is not that great. Well at least for me. I would trade great 1080p Tv for poor 4K anytime if budget wont stretch.

​4 days, 3 hours and 54 seconds. Although it does vary slightly depending on the weather.

Guardian and Daily Wail, two rags commentaries I wouldn't take as gospel.

How do they still not have a proper website..

If only they had double the size for double the price :wink:

Pretty stupid that it doesn't have a headphone jack! I'm not looking to buy a TV atm as recently picked up the Hisense 43M3000, of which I use the headphone jack all of the time on, it's actually pretty smart giving the option of sound just through the jack or through both the jack and main speakers. Not having a jack is a deal breaker if I was looking into buying this, otherwise it seems like a solid deal.

I also feel like too much emphasis can sometimes be put on Black Friday and Xmas sales for stuff like TVs; the big companies tend to release new lines of TVs yearly. The good TVs eventually sell out towards the end of the year, making way for the new ones next year. The TVs on offer during Black Friday and Xmas sales quite often are the ones which haven't sold very well, with retailers slashing prices to get rid of their final stock. There are exceptions to this and occasionally a great TV is really cheap during Black Friday but it's not as common as you may think.

Also I feel like 4k TVs won't just go down in price at the rate tech has done in recent history, the Brexit vote could force tech to be a bit more expensive next year - at least in the first half of the year - things may level out a bit more after then.

Guardian article speculating about price rises next year

COLD - It will probably burn the house down

:wink:

if it doesnt have built in wifi, you will need to run a cable.

Is it advantageous to buy a smart TV with built in Wifi? I don't really understand all the technical stuff, but just wonder if you are more likely to get a better signal if it is built in rather than relying on the router upstairs. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

As I said above
If you want the HDR effects then it's a very expensive TV required.

If you want a 4K experience without paying for an expensive tv then get this.

HDR does make it look better, but still not proven on the PS4 Pro.

Several review sites have already reported that HDR is nicer but hardly impacts the experience for the Xbox s.

On the PS4 pro many sites have reported it looks good on non HDR sets.

Show me a tv that will show the pro at its fullest and costs the same or similar money?

Well JLP just went halves on a £135 out of warranty 3 year old Indesit washing machine repair bill for me.
Repaired next working day, last month.
So I'm not complaining.

Got a price match from JL. 5 year warranty and free delivery too

Good spot, saw that last night and got JL to price match Tesco direct for £398!

Heat from me

I got this TV and absolutely love it! Heat +1

£398 on Tesco Direct today.....

this is a better TV and a bigger one LG are much better than Samsung TV I have both so I can tell the difference http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/lg/43uh661v/lg-43uh661v

​Cold not a 65". Or a Ferrari :confused:

I am like you never had a tv go on me in over the same period, however this can be more due to luck, so many new gadgets won't last that long and a proper warran for a few quid more will be worth it in the long run. You don't want to get to two years from now and have a tv's that's worthless or have to fight a retailer to replace under legislation for the sake of a few quid.

guess you havent had to use their warranty in a while/ try and get them to actually resolve something

The 43" version has gone up a tenner today in currys just when I was potentially going to pick one up! DOH

Wont JLP price match and although 1 year less warranty JLP's return policy is so outstanding it worth just playing safe.
cheers

Excellent TV for the money. It's £400 and comes with 6 year warranty.

Some of the comments in here are reminiscent of £200 laptop deals and people moaning it doesn't have a 1080p screen.

Anyways, nice vid of the TV here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P21R_xenZc8

'Also, another tidbit, you have to get them re-tuned every two or three years which can cost around £1500.'

What the hell are you talking about !!!! Do some research dude before posting such utter nonsense.

I urge you all to go and stand next to an OLED TV and compare the picture, particularly the detail-less blacks, to an LED or SUHD at a similar price.

Don't get me wrong, space scenes on Sci-Fi movies look amazing, but as soon as it cuts to a face and everybody looks like they've got the worst case of rosacea... it gets old quickly.

That and only 3/10 OLEDs will leave the factory, the rest break down because of the ridiculously complicated way that they're manufactured. Also, another tidbit, you have to get them re-tuned every two or three years which can cost around £1500.

Just taken delivery of the 50" version from Richer Sounds and very impressed so far. Cracking tele for the money

Oh a Samsung, bargain I'll get a TV and a furnace all in one

Why? Do you keep TVs for 6 years? Do you buy TV that breakdown? Genuinely curious, never had a single tv break in over 20 years - but I do change every 2/3 - maybe they go wrong frequently after this - by which time the value has plummeted anyway?

Cus he/she has "no-sense".

​why would you even consider the Hi Sense if you can afford this??

This isnt a good pick if your planning on getting a ps pro as sony have stated you need HDR10 to play its games in their intended form and this set doesnt have that
Also future ps pro games will be intended to be played in HDR and this set cannot produce HDR it will downscale the signal to SDR
So you want see much of a difference on a set this small that downscales HDR to SDR

Also here is a review for a very similar spec

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-samsung-ku6400-4k-tv-review

Good TV of your looking for a quality set to get you into 4k.

For ps4 pro yes it will work in 4k, not sure about the hdr, to get the full benefits of os4 pro you need a very expensive TV.

I got this recently and very happy, running my pc, xbox one and ps4 off it.

Thats a good deal, but it doesnt have 6 years guarantee, which is a killer for me.

which note 8? that note 8 that aint even been released yet?

The 43" version is £439 on currys. It looks like only currys sell that model.

Cold, will probably catch fire like note 8

Its a 8bit panel that can accept a HDR signal but cant fully process it so it will downscale it to SDR

They price match

eloquently put

7 hours.

What's the input lag for gaming?

4k is a bit underwhelming on a 40" imo. Great price tho.

great deal, hard to find a small 4k tv at this price for a reputable brand

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Samsung+UE40KU6000 There you are. Although probably easier to do it yourself. Less effort than coming up with that poor excuse for a reply. <3

I wasn't reviewing it for you. Sorry.

No - It's 8 bit HDR

yes the only other HDR is Dolby Vision and very few TV's have hhat

Is this hdr 10?

depends how fast your hard drive is. USB 2 itself is plenty fast enough in theory

buying any TV without seeing it in action and based on specs is just foolish.
there could be two sets with identical "specs" and worlds of difference in picture quality.
always go and see the tv's picture quality and compare it with others in addition to reading few reviews and considering specs.

end of story.

Does this tv only have USB 2.0 ports? Will i have any problems if i try playing 4k content i've downloaded off my hard drive?

"Cold it's not OLED" or "Cold it's not full HDR" are not really helpful comments - nothing anywhere near this price range / size does! It's a bit like voting down a £2k Ford Fiesta because it isn't a Ferrari.

The 6000 series Samsungs are basic but quality 4K TVs, well reviewed, and a reasonable price. You need to go up to the 7000 or 8000 series to get 'proper' HDR and what they call SUHD vs the mere UHD on this series. There is also the argument that you don't actually need 4K or better on a TV this small, as you can't really tell unless your viewing position is about 8 inches from the screen - but that's another argument!
Having seen these TVs while researching(I'm about to purchase a 55" version of the 7000 series) I was impressed with the quality - quite a big leap over the previous years models, none (or very little to imperceptible) of the motion blur and whitewashing. Still quite a jump up to OLED, but that's a jump in cost too.
I'd say this is a good deal.

Thanks for all the heat guys ☺

This or the cheaper Hisense h40m3300 and why?

Got this as a bedroom telly, whacked it on the wall and it's adequate for the price. Like others, got the cheaper deal from Argoose. Not bothered about a 5 or 6 year warranty - never keep a tv more than 2 years and never had one break ever.

I have a plasma TV. The problem with LCD is the poor motion and poor blacks in comparison.
Those are the 2 things which make me feel that a TV like this will be a downgrade.
Both issues listed above should be resolved by OLED.

The problem is that OLED TVs are taking a long time to come down in price.

At present, a 2nd hand Panasonic plasma would be the best bet, if looking for the absolute highest image quality, without spending £2k+. It's very disappointing that the best TVs are no longer manufactured - Panasonic missed a trick here. They could've kept the factories open and milked the market by increasing the prices.

Hot very hot wait it's exploded

Yes, could you Google it for me? That would help.

Have a look at the specs, or should I google it for you?

Cold not OLED

Would you recommend this for use with the new PS4 pro?

I've got it last Sunday from Argos for £377 with 10% discount. Cheaper but no 6 years warranty. Great TV but does not have headphone jack.

Good price but note it's not proper HDR, it can accept HDR signals but not display them to their full potential.

Bought it from Argos for £377 by using the TV10 code.

Cold. not CRT

good saving on this

smoking hot :smiley:

Awful TV, cold.

Cold as in store only and that is a lottery with Richer Sounds.
Also no store within at least 40 miles.
It is about time they joined the 21st century and allowed internet ordering and delivery.

Also the below.

Got my eye on the 49" version for £599 - these look like fab TV's.

Also might be worth adding that you might get this even cheaper if you join their free to join VIP members club.
I got an extra £50 off a TV I bought that Richer Sounds had on sale.

Thanks OP

Thanks for adding the review.

Review:

Samsung's TV range for 2016 is on top form, and even at this entry point, it's managed to produce a UHD screen with excellent dynamic range and HDR compatibility, which is really very impressive. This is backed up by a superb Smart TV system and all-round capability, plus a very nice design.

The only issues we identified were the slow motion response and the tight viewing angles. To improve on these, you'll need to move higher up the Series 6 range and spend a bit more money.

Priced at just over £500 at launch, we expect to see retailers aggressively undercutting each other as Christmas 2016 draws near, and the price of the 40-inch KU6000 could fall to £400, which would potentially make this a 5-star product as far as we're concerned.

http://www.s21.com/samsung-ue40ku6000.htm

-----------------------------------
Seems OK for the money - about the right price. But steer clear if you're in to sport/action or sit off-angle. I still don't see why anybody would purchase something like this ahead of Christmas/Black Friday/Sales? 4K is a battleground right now, be patient IMO.

£419 @ John Lewis with 5 year warranty so good spot

Dubious about the "save £200", I got my 48" version of the same telly from richer sounds for £599.
Just googled and its 420 everywhere so maybe a warm deal, because of the 6 year warranty

The Death Star light shade on the other hand is awesome and well worth your heat

... I can't believe this deal is lagging behind in the heat stakes to the soon after Daily Fail free Marmite deal... I mean come on people it's the Daily Mail and Marmite... That's got to be a kind of satanic pairing... ;-)

I wonder if I buy this one and put my non HDR LG 4k yada yada tv in the box, send it back will they notice? :sunglasses:

Lol

Forgot to mention it's for sale at Richer sounds
