Hi all, not bothered about hot or cold. Looking for some honest opinions as my brother is looking for a small 10bit tele. This seems to fit the bill even though a refurb.
Good or not before he pulls the trigger!

I would make sure to get a 5 year warranty on TVs I know majority of the time TVs don't go wrong but now they're software based anything can happen. I know you'd get the 10 year burn in warranty from Samsung but not sure that will apply to refurb products. I think the ks9000 new for £849 with 5 year warranty is a better option. I know it costs more

Thanks for the response. Bit out of range for him but point taken. Cheers :smiley:

I bought the JohnLewis showroom model 55" KS7000 for 599 with 5 year warranty. It is quite shocking how good this TV is. I have been back to JL a few times to compare the OLED (double the price) with the KS7000. I honestly believe this TV is far better in most aspects. I find the OLED to be muddy a bit red and grainy and dull.
10 year burn in warranty's just dirty marketing from samsung, they say that to convince people that OLEDs have a burn in issue but they don't, you might get image retention but never burn in

Apart from the curve its a perfectly fine set. Although 4k at 43" seems pointless to me :smiley:

This is the set I wanted and this is a good price...I do want 'new' though and I know now with less and less of these around I may aswell wait for the 8000/ 9000 series to drop in price. Good find and heated. If ya bro has the money ready and cannot wait, squeeze that trigger! (y)

You won't get 10bit for less, can anyone prove that statement wrong!? :man:

People game on 27/ 28 inch 4k monitors so I think 43" will be just fine. Curved is good imo. I am quickly changing my mind on getting one now rather than later ...

True but you are probably 2ft away from a 27/28" screen when gaming. More likely to be 20ft away from this which for me makes it hard to tell between 4k and 1080. Not a reason to avoid this telly though, at this price a steal.

I have this TV, Used almost exclusively for gaming and it's great. True 10bit HDR and 4K. Good price even if it is a refurb.

I should have pointed out that all the 2016 & 2017 TV's have an issue with the HDR profile in gaming mode i.e. The backlight does not auto increase and has to be done manually. A bit of an annoyance but people are hoping that Samsung will fix it with an update.

I've got the 55in ks7000 and I think that's the same. Haven't had a software update for it since I got it.
