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.

Samsung UN55KS8000 55-Inch 4K TV Review | 2016 Quantum Dot Smart LED TV | SmartReview.com

**New for 2016. The Samsung UN55KS8000 is Samsung's lowest priced Quantum Dot (SUHD) 55-inch third generation of Flat Screen 4K Ultra HD TVs from Samsung. For 2016 Samsung is introducing the HDR (high dynamic Range) HDR1000 line of TVs that have the new (Quantum Dots) technology, including the KS8500 Series. This technology has produced the best LED TV picture Samsung has ever produced. The Quantum Dot technology produces a brighter picture, 10x deeper blacks, and up to 64X enhanced color detail, for more natural vivid colors. High dynamic range gives you more shadow detail, brighter whites, and more natural colors. A 4K Ultra HD TV provides 3840 x 2160 resolution, which is four times the resolution of Full HD. This allows you to sit closer to a larger TV and get the immersive movie theater experience. Most movie theaters now use a 4K projector, so in effect you will have movie theater resolution in the home. Built-in Bluetooth® and upgraded wireless 802.11ac WiFi for fastest streaming of HD and 4K Ultra HD content. Smart TV with full access to Netflix, Amazon, Youtube, and more. Use the Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming to speakers or headphones. Use SmartView 2.0 to share TV content with/from your smartphone or tablet. ...More...

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.
