Waiting for the tv experts to let me know how good or should I say worth it this tv is.... as I am on the market for a 50” 4k tv with a budget of £500

Is the Hisense H50N6800 better than as I’m looking at that also ?
joffa81 to Kojo_Segu

The Hisense N6800 is a mid range tv where the Samsung MU6100 is a budget tv. the reviews are really good on the Hisense where the reports are this Samsung suffers badly from backlight bleed and clouding in the corners and edges. the Hisense is a better tv on paper but for £499 for a 50" panel this Samsung is getting tempting.

Can't speak for Hisense TV's as I've never seen one. Realistically if you want a good 4K picture, a decent HDR image and a half decent build quality you need to spend £1500+
If £500 is your limit and you want it now get the Samsung but I'd save that money for later in the year when LG, Panasonic or even Sony sets can be had for around the same money.

Whys that?...I tend to stlck to sony as I find the picture more natural....but wondering why you're so against Samsung. . I'm not a big fan of Samsung myself after their bait and switch scheme on monitors some years ago....got stung myself there.

Can you do me a favour and let me know if you find anything decent, my budget is £1k and I'm struggling, every one I decide on has "white bleed" issues or "isn't proper HDR" it's doing my head in. I even decided on the £1500 LG OLED but apparently that's got issues too!!!!

If you have 1k id look at getting a ks7000/8000 Samsung, 10bit, high nits and great reviews.

Thanks for that, are they current models, can't find them on Richer Sounds :thinking:

They're last years I think the equivalent is the mu8000 range, if you google you can still find sellers and can get pretty good prices. I'm actually thinking of getting a 55 ks7000 myself but can't really afford it!!

Ahhh... thanks for that, I think that the MU range is being a bit slated, supposedly not as good as the KS series, Ican't remember what the issue was but I was close to buying (I just get close to clicking buy and then something crops up, it's doing my head in :dizzy_face: )

Looks ok to me but doing a quick search i see its 8-bit HDR which I'm sure will bother some of the experts.

For this price don't expect a 10-bit. Start upping your budget to £900/1000+

I got this model from Argos for £429 and it's been brilliant. It's hooked up as my laptop monitor and I frequently use Netflix, Youtube and the Eurosport Players, brilliant investment.

Heat added... I was literally about to get the Hisense 49" 5700. Hdr 8bit+FRC for £444 from hughes... Should I push the budget a little for the Samsung simply bc WHO THE HECK IS HISENSE?? Never heard of em. What you reckon, go for the Samsung?

JL price matched Hughes for the 49N5700, and then you have the 35 day return window if it is not the machine for you. This is my second Hisense, and they are cracking sets for the money, and the 49N5700 is direct lit too, which helps.

Just if this helps anyone: I had one last 31 days and then got the runaround from Samsung and hughes, I'm actually glad it broke and its being replaced as I've upped to a better model as the judder was genuinely truly awful, well for me anyway (even with all the gizmos on max to try and help)... :thinking:
It may be just fine for most! Good price and spot tho!

I bought this TV a few weeks ago and it's awesome. Massive upgrade from my 1080p. Colours are amazing, picture is crystal clear and the sound is great. Just make sure to turn off the motion smoothing stuff otherwise the picture looks weird.

Picked up this TV a few days ago.Not had any judder issues like some people have mentioned. Picture is fantastic for the money. After calibration the TV is very pleasing. For anyone interested in how games run and look on the set. I'm using an Xbox One S, the 4k upscaling on the One S looks amazing on this TV. Found using the Game setting obviously the best for gaming. HDR can be a fiddle to set up but when it is all sorted I can tell you that Forza horizon 3 in HDR is a sight to behold. I know it's only 8 bit but honestly for a 50inch TV from Samsung at this price what more could you expect.

Had this TV for 2 weeks but after the Samsung firmware update it stopped working so I returned it. Quite glad as it wasn't a great picture and the judder was awful. Upgraded and spent a bit more on a Sony and very happy with it.

I went for the Sony 55XE8396. Nice TV with a great picture and doesn't suffer with the judder issues I had on the Samsung

Great tv. I bought the 55" a couple months ago and loving it. Not had judder issues at all and the Steam Link app is a great addition for me if that's something you're interested in. For the price I definitely recommend it.

Picked up this from Richer Sounds for the same price about a month ago and it's honestly such an amazing TV! Best I've owned and such an awesome price! Heat from me.

Still undecided :disappointed: would any one comment on samsung 55MU6200 which is a curved tv.. is it any good , never owned a curved tv the other option I have is a lg 55uj630v

The gimmick of curved screens wears off fast then you wish you just had bought a normal screen. Can't comment on a 55 inch TV but I have had a 32 inch Samsung curved monitor for my PC. After a couple of weeks I returned it as the curve added too much glare so I went for the same monitor but the flat screen £60 cheaper model and couldn't be happier with it.

i got this one, if have xbox one S will not get the most out of it as it requires the HDR 10 bit not 8 but netflix and amazon prime run fine on the 4k setting and looks really impressive
