A good friend told me never to believe anything anyone else's good friend tells them. :wink:

You're wrong, it is 10 bit.. No 8, or 8+2.. 10.

TVs have to be 10 bit to qualify for the UHD Premium certification, which this has.

I do find the discussion really pointless. who genuinely cares. by the time it will really matter you would have bought a newer tv.

it is not.

don't you hate it when people believe marketing blurb.. it's 8+2

Is this better than a JU8500?

The retailer isn't going to care, they won't even see the glue, it'll go back too the manufacturer and they want care either, besides you'll have your new TV before then any ways.

Seriously no one cares, I've worked at a few repair places, these big companies just contract it all out and there are so many steps in the chain. You have someone (like how I was) working for feck all looking at it, half the time we couldn't be bothered, said it was fine, sent it off. Other companies buy it, sell it as refurbished or whatever....

No one is going to care about a bit of glue, especially since they glue it themselves, just don't use any glue that's going to dissolve the plastic.

Not DLNA compatible :disappointed:

There's more threds on there about best settings and stuff.

Word.

Sorry, was just trying to give people another option as they were another store that said they had electricals discounted. My local is Bracknell and it worked for me :smiley:

Very informative thread, thanks to everyone who's contributed. Been on the lookout for a new TV for a while but had no idea what to go for. Seems like this is one of the best options available so will keep an eye out for deals where it might be a similar price from RS or JL

BBC iPlayer?
ITV hub?
All 4?
Demand 5?

Ks7000 U.K Ks8000 U.S are the same TV just to confuse people a bit more

any idea of prices of the 8000, no soundbar needed with it, RS all the way....

great tv. heat added

I want the best FULL HD television with the DEEPEST black levels possible for under £1000. Is that too much to ask ?

£999 with richer sounds and 6 years warrant, RS all the way for me.

I considered that but then you've permanently stuck it on if anything else goes wrong and the retailer could probably argue that you've invalidated your warranty

I popped into Currys to check on the models they had there and both the 7000 and 8000 had rear bottom corners coming away. On mine the side came away, I've tried to show in the pic, engineer said only way to fix is apparently rip it all off and replace. Apparently this would likely damage the logic board (or whatever it's called) which would need replacing too. Other than that i had no issues with the TV and quite liked it.

It's only a plastic bac panel that comes loose at the top and you cannot see it. Just the glue due to the heat, just get some super glue and sorted.

I have read about the glue coming out on the KS7000s in some people's models...haven't heard the same for the 8000s. I know it's different materials on the back but if it's glued the risk still exists. That's why I'd be unlikely to buy this TV from anyone other than JL or Richer Sounds...the guarantee is worth the small saving you'd get from somewhere else.

can anyone recommend a sound bar to go with this tv ? Would it be best to have a matching Samsung one ?

I was being an idiot and thinking about the UE55JU7000 i had the year prior, my bad. The rear panel issues are definitely this TV though, JL's swapped mine out for a Sony 55XD9305 after having some rear panel issues based on other customer reports. Long day in the office....

So how did you verify over the product specifications? I'd be interested to know how you worked it out anecdotally...

This model (and the 8000 to a lesser extent) suffer from the rear panel coming loose at is is stuck on rather than screwed. Samsung went for a 360 design philosophy and whilst the back of the TV looks nice it doesn't always stay where it's supposed to (instances of this reported on AVForums).

Thanks for the advice, maybe 'll be buying after all ?

​Don't you hate it when people give false information.

This is 10 bit

This is definitely 10 bit and listed in specifications

Only for you, it's all standard brackets and you simply put it back on the original stand to return it. That beind said returning anything to Curry's is both akward and infuriating and it probably would be a pain as they always make you wait the maximum period before doing anything about the problem just to make the fact they sold you a broken product even more annoying.

weird just had a email from richer sounds , they have a 7000 and 8000 models and the 8000 is a lot more expensive so how could it be the us equivalent as mentioned above

thanks

Doesn't support 3D :disappointed:

​Yes

It's SUHD, of course it's 10-bit.

It's been said all over the net, the UK model is 10 bit this equates to the US KS8000.

so is this 10bit ?

cheers

This is from people who don't bother to put the TV in a proper mode or set it up correctly, the TV is great for motion, in fact it's one of the best for the money..... set 'Auto Motion Plus' to 'Custom' and both sliders to 0. Also it's probably best not to have it in Movie mode as it's always the highest latency mode since it doesn't matter for movies, put it into a Game or Sport mode or possibly even leave it in Standard.

A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend told me his wife is a man !!

Busted!! lol

Got this yesterday for £885 by getting Richer Sounds to pricematch Fenwick/Bentalls..

It's £895 in Canterbury Fenwick and Bracknell Bentalls today so if you're within 50 miles of there you can get Richer Sounds to price match and beat it by £10.

Have read reports from owners of 'juddering' issues with this samsung model, some of the reviews were on the lohn lewis site.

Sub £1500 for the 65KS7000 would be nice for BF:D

​well now, considering its dropped £175 in the last few months, another £100 is hardly unbelievable!! Such a pessimistic outlook :man:

So did mine, so err, I'll hold out in hope not knowing what to believe!

A good friend of mine who sells electrical goods informed me that this tv will drop to £899 and the 49" to £799 on bf nationwide... maybe hold out.

At this rate its almost definitely worth waiting another week for Black Friday...the price definitely isn't going to go up...

Holding out for £700-750 on this set looks like I'll be waiting till Q2 2017

Only 1 year warranty at Co-Op, so false saving...

Does he happen to know anything about the UE60KS7000. It was dropped to PRC to £1299.99 last night but when i checked this morning its gone back up.

Very good price good to see going in right direction heat

The wife wants the curved version - although maybe we will wait until the new year - not sure if it is likely to be cheaper then?

ks8000 55" too?
