Hooked up my 65 inch ks8000 yesterday and played Titanfall 2 on my launch xbox one. Thing shat all over my old 1080p tv. I couldnt believe how good the image was and how everything just looked better. Honestly amazed at how much better my games look on the newer tv and this is with the old xbox one. Take your time. When you decide to make the jump it will be worth it.
Man, the remote for the B6 is awful. is there even a button to see what resolution/mode your TV is in during broadcast or streaming (i.e. display button on any remote ever) and there seems to be no way to change input without bring up the menu bar.
Was your old 1080p tv garbage? I would expect a worse image since I don't even think TF2 runs native 1080 on OG Xbone.
I like hearing it and hoping it's true. Trying to shed my buyers remorse. Impulse bought without a ton of research.
Nah not garbage at all actually didnt wanna change it. Always got compliments on how good the image looked. The new tv just looks better. Tf2 looks way better. No bsWas your old 1080p tv garbage? I would expect a worse image since I don't even think TF2 runs native 1080 on OG Xbone.

I got that Best Buy LG OLED for $399 and there's no noticeable input lag, especially when set to game. Amazing TV
You're having buyers remose and you don't even have the ks8000 yet? I'm sure you'll be happy once you have it.
I went from an lg plasma to a pansonic 2014 4k and I was happy. Went to a hisense h8c because the 65 inch panny took over my living room in my apartment I moved too. Still happy. Iq is honestly better on a $500 set vs an $1800 one from 2 years ago. I'm sure you'll be very happy with the iq on the ks8000.

What is the difference between the Samsung UN40KU6300 and Sony XBR43X800D for gaming?
You sure it was an OLED? I got an LG LED tv there that's 4k for $400 last week (This one specifically) and it's been an amazing set. It advertised HDR on the box, and is compatible with it, but I don't think it's "true" HDR. Still though, the colors are brilliant and the blacks are surprisingly good with the HDR feature turned on. Input lag is also not noticeable for me, and most of my gaming is done on PC. Compared to my previous set (which was 1080i and had input lag of 150ms+), this is a godsend. 4k games on my pc look incredible when I hook it up in the living room. Power draw is a little high (~$29 a year compared to 10 for some models), but it doesn't put off nearly as much heat as a plasma screen. I'm pretty picky, but have been happy with the purchase. I'd recommend it to people who are jumping up from significantly older TVs (720p etc.), but people who have been riding the fancy TV train for years might not be as impressed. It'll be $400 on black friday at Best Buy again.
I was thinking of getting a new TV during the black friday sales and have a couple of queries:
Would I be right in thinking the Samsung KS7000 in the UK, is called KS8000 in the US.
Great news, man! Glad it worked out for you.Discover price matched it, was completely through them.
There's no way it was OLED. If Best Buy was blowing out 55" OLED displays for $400, my office would look like NASA mission command.
Would KS8000 be a good upgrade from a Panasonic Plasma?

Also, what can I expect when watching regular Blu Rays on such a TV, will it upscale to 4K and will I see the benefits of HDR, or will it only be games, streaming and 4K Blu Rays that see the benefit?
Do a side by side here. Comparable, but definitely some differences.

I'm looking at a new tv and just got back from richer sounds...it's a toss up between the ks7000 or the panasonic 750b for me. What's cheapest on BF will probably swing it.
For HD content there is some upscaling but from what I've read it doesn't make a big difference...it won't look like 4k content, even the compressed netflix stuff.
Just how fragile are sets like the KS8000? I mean, can you crack the screen holding it wrong while moving it to the stand? The bezel is so thin, can't figure how to move it without putting at least a little pressure on the screen itself. it's admittedly a bit nerve-wracking moving it by yourself.
I feel better. I came close to cancelling this morning. Thanks guys.
Just got delivery confirmation on the pro so I have an opportunity to see how it looks on my plasma vs the KS8000 when it arrives.
I believe that's a variation of the 6100, which is a rgbw panel.
Strangely, the uh5500 series is an rgb panel and reviews are much better. The uh5500 can also be had for very cheap. It just has pretty bad input lag and doesn't get very bright, and isn't 90% of dci-p3.
It would work decently with a ps4 I would think though as long as you aren't really sensitive to input lag. Best cheaper 4k sets are hisense h8c, Samsung 6300, and Sony x800d. Sony is most expensive but has the widest color gamut support.
Does anyone own the LG B6? I would love to read some NeoGAF user impressions.
The 55" model is what I'm eyeing as a purchase right now.
edit: hmm, now I'm reading that the LG OLEDs don't play nice with the PS4 Pro and require some workarounds to behave properly. I'm also reading that the nits aren't that high and there is some automatic backlight dimming that reduces the effect of HDR. Maybe I don't want this TV after all.
What's the best Sony set right now for around $2,000 and in the 47" or higher range?
What TV tech for HDR is on the horizon that the KS8000 can't do?
Want to buy a 4K set over Black Friday but it's either buy now or wait a year....
Please enlighten us, what are the issues with the LG OLED displays and the PS4 Pro? A lot of people here have them and aren't having any issues.
Regarding the OLED issues you mentioned, there is no perfect TV, nor perfect TV technology. It just doesn't exist. You do your research and decide which issues you can live with, and which you can't.

I don't own one, so I don't know for sure, but I saw some mumblings on the Internet in my searching efforts, particularly this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4Pro/comments/5ccpr7/important_everyone_should_know_that_ps_pro_has/
No idea how true it is.
Is it true that Samsung has by far the lowest input lag when it comes to sub-$2,000 4K TVs? That seems to be what I'm seeing from the various comparison sites.

A lot of folks in this thread are looking at really high end stuff like the ks8000 and LG OLEDsOk got my Ps4 Pro and while I was going to just ride it out a couple more years with my 40 inch Samsung 1080p TV, the 4k itch is real.
I have a series of noob questions for anyone kind enough to answer-
1. I remember when 4k TVs were new some of them only ran at 30hz. Is this a concern today still? I think if I just research what I am buying, it should be fine right?
2. Do I need a different HDMI cable?
3. Most of my content for the forseeable future will be mostly 1080p or even 720p (TV broadcast). Will those look like shit on a 4k TV? Before I bought an upscaler, my old consoles looked like shit on HD tvs....
4. With a budget of up to $600, is there anything I can buy at around 44-50 inches? I'm down for black friday sales, but I won't wait in line for doorbusters.
5. HDR, should I make it a priority too?
6. With all the above in mind, feel free to give me recommendations
dolby vision and dynamic metadata for HDR10.

For your budget, I'd recommend checking out the Samsung ku6300 or 6290. Really good bang for the buck with low lag. It also upscales from 720/1080 quite well.

Awesome, thank you!
Discover price matched it, was completely through them.
What you mean discover priced matched it? I have a discover card too, how can I get in on this (is this something I can get in on)?
I just looked up my current TV (LG 47" le5400 2010 model) and discovered that it might have something around 120ms input lag, which sounds insane. If I've been gaming on that, then going down to even 50 ~ 70 ms that the LG B6/E6 models seem to currently have, it will seem like a huge upgrade.
Now I just need to determine between the B6 or E6 and try to find the best deal.

I thought the B6 is 38-51ms (oddly variable) with the recent update? At least in 4K/HDR
