I'm a big audio / visual nerd, full KEF 5.1 in living room etc. I jumped straight onto 1080p, I also jumped straight onto a 3DTV (What a waste of time that was). I'm your typical early adopter, drives the wife mad but she does like my HTC Vive.

I would completely agree with this though and a big reason why I'm still on a 55" Samsung 1080p set, few huge problems for me currently.

- We've only just started to see sets take peak brightness and nits seriously, this being one of the first and with plenty of issues.

- 4K Bluray players cost a fortune.

- 4K content is still very lacking

I'd happily drop 2k on a 55-65" 4K set right now but while content is so sparse I'm waiting. I do think this year will bring sets which you can finally say are future proof. No doubt Hisense, Samsung and LG will all be bringing out very good high peak brightness sets for HDR... This Samsung set would of been spot on but far to many issues. I actually considered buying it until I saw all the problems.

Excellent price for this tv and Yes it has a 10 Bit Panel !

Wow what a price, got this TV about 4months ago and paid £1200 this is well worth this price.

Using it with the Xbox one S for 4k Blu-ray and HDR gaming and looks amazing.

brilliant TV 10 bit panel makes huge difference for HDR and the upscaling is superb! :smile:

Would have bought this on several occasions now if only it weren't for those stupid feet. I have a pretty big AV stand but it's still not wide enough for one of these. As I refuse to shell out for a wall mount, or new stand of any kind, I'm stuck waiting for the next series to see if Samsung come to their senses.

​Eagerly waiting this as well.

Do they come down in price though? I was looking at last year's model when these were released earlier in the year and instead of coming down in price, all stock seemingly just vanished.

I think Crampton and moore have a code running for 10% off the 8000 range. Think it's TV10 and up to 10% last I looked on QuidCo. Guarantee was 5 years. Also includes a UHD blu ray player rrp 299 or so. If all fell into place and sold the player should be around £1k for the TV. Just a thought.

Buy this or wait 2 weeks to see what new sets are coming out?

Can't see this dropping much further

Only issue with this TV seems to be how it handles motion. When researching the TV all major reviewers pointed to excellent motion handling, but then plenty of reviews on AV forums and John Lewis stated terrible handling of motion making most content unbearable to watch. I am in the process of returning mine as I just couldn't deal with the choppy and jerky motion on all sources (Xbox one S, movies, YouTube and Normal TV)

P.s every motion setting combination was explored as well as disabling it).
