    Does Samsung q70 have camera?

    No camera bud, although it has sufficient ports to accommodate almost any external camera and can connect to most devices via Bluetooth.

Smarter, brighter SUHD still not head of the TV class

Samsung's KS8000 has a lot of things going for it, but its image quality is eclipsed by some less expensive sets that perform better.

The Samsung KS8000 offers a sleek, glossy design and good color accuracy, but it's not the best value.

Samsung UE55KS8000 review and best prices (KS8000) | S21

The Samsung KS8000 is the best of the Korean company's 2016 range of LED TVs, and the 55-inch model seems like the ideal choice to enjoy 4K HDR viewing at its best. The super-bright screen shows more subtle shadow details than most rivals, and is the best screen you can buy for the price, in our opinion. Audio quality is excellent too, as is connectivity, and Samsung's 2016 Smart TV system is simply outstanding.
