    • Believ3r on 25/01/2018 - 18:52

      What’s the cons of a curved tv, I’m very interested in this tv, hows reviews and could I get better for same price.

      Also does this have hdr for every hdmi input my other Samsung tv enables HDR for only one input

    10bit HDR too. This is a pretty decent deal.

    "200hz"

    Anyone know the 'real' refresh rate?

    Also can any one find any proper reviews, not just the average joe giving it a 4.5/5 because "picture quality is great"

    • Whisper Quiet on 26/01/2018 - 09:04

      It's actually native 120hz but interpolated like all other TV's for Australia to be 100hz (due to PAL/NTSC format)
      Wouldn't matter anyway as the only way you would see that 120fps is through 1080p pc gaming. The max tv and movies can get is 60fps. Hdmi can only carry a max of 60fps through 4K. Refresh rate on the TV (Hz) is capped at whatever the framerate (fps) on the video is. Unless you are using high end gaming through displayport 1.4 connection (the only way to get 120fps through 4k) 60-120hz makes no difference if your connection is hdmi. Wish people would stop saying it's makes a difference since all the TV does is interpolate artificial frame insertion to try and display the missing frames, which makes it look there is judder and flicker.

      BTW this tv is edgelit and has bad blooming and light bleed. KS8000 (last year's model is actually superior to it in everyway except for a slightly lower colour gamut.
      If you want the best mid priced 4K Lcd with the best features. I'd only recommend the Sony x9000e. Its full backlit with local dimming. Amazing near OLED blacks. Wide colour gamut. Sony has the best upscaling thanks to their X1 processor chip plus the X9 series is the only one to not not drop off brightness and stay consistent at over 800 nits. Most high end 4k TV's start strong around 700-800 but drop dramatically after a few seconds to under 500 nits, especially OLED.

        I just bought the above TV so I may be biased, but both the x9000e and the KS8000 seem to be going for about $300-400 more than this one. Might be worth it for the MU8000 if you're a bit more budget concious.

        • Cits on 26/01/2018 - 14:25

          Hey, what are your experiences with the bad blooming and light bleed Monstanova mentioned?

        • Whisper Quiet on 26/01/2018 - 20:12

          I'm not saying it's a bad tv. In fact it's a good price for a good tv obviously but it does have more issues with those features compared to the Sony. The new models will be released soon (probably around March/April) then you will see a huge price drop to get rid of the 2017 TV's. If I was spending over $1000 I would want to get the best I can for that money.

        • Whisper Quiet on 26/01/2018 - 20:23

          @Cits:
          Because the Samsung is edgelit it means if your watching movies or anything with the black bars you will see light bleed as that's where the light is omitting from. If it had good local dimming it wouldn't be that much of a problem as it could shut off certain areas. This model is just average for local dimming and doesn't have many light zones on the panel. Same problem with any lighter object on a dark background you will see light glowing all around it as the zones are too big to hide it. Brightness will be more inconsistent as the edge of the screen will be lit more than around the middle. If you're not looking for it or it doesn't bother you with your old or current tv then I would say get this TV. It's an awesome price for a midrange TV that performs well. If you want to watch and game with HDR then the Sony is the best option as the consistent brightness and same colour gamut as the flagship OLED really shows you the difference between normal viewing.

          @Monstalova: Thanks for sharing your knowledge!. I never watch broadcast TV, just streaming web content and strategy games on a big display, think I'll hang tight and keep an eye on that Sony you mentioned.

      • thearbiter117 on 26/01/2018 - 14:04

        Well i was actually considering it to use in my bedroom connected to xbox, but mainly my gaming PC, so the 120hz 1080p mode would be quite interesting. So if this monitor had displayport 1.4 (instead of 4 HDMI ports) could it actually do 4k 120hz?

        Thanks for that recommendation, i will keep an eye on that sony TV until it comes down a bit more (because honestly i decided not to go on this one because i didn't feel like spending $1000+ on a TV right now was a good idea after just doing almost the same for a VR headset).

        • Whisper Quiet on 26/01/2018 - 20:36

          Yeah it could. But TV's don't deal with displayport. HDMI has paid huge money to all the companies so it can only use their connection. Monitors have it but make sure the graphics card has a displayport 1.4 too! Unlikely that many TV's will get HDMI 2.1 next year, other than the super expensive flagship ones. PC's usually get it at least a year before TV's with the updated connections and I haven't seen anything yet for motherboards or GPUs.. To play 120Hz @ 4K with high settings you wouldnt be able to do it now anyway. This year's graphics cards (1180) won't be able to do it alone. Testers have said you will probably need at least SLI two 1180s maybe even two 1180Ti! We'll see when they release them…

        • TightarseTuesday on 27/01/2018 - 23:27

          @Monstalova: You seem to know what you are talking about. The x9000e is an amazing TV . but it's around the ~3k mark for the 65.

          Whats you're expert thoughts on the Hisense N7/ and N8. The N8 is now a good price and I'm pretty keen.

          Thanks

          TT

        • Whisper Quiet on 28/01/2018 - 16:21

          @TightarseTuesday:
          I only know limited info about the Hisense (my friend has the 50inch model). I've worked for Sony and Panasonic in constructing TV's and calibration. Well all the downsides I mentioned for the MU8000 are magnified more with the Hisense. Local dimming is even less zones so the blacks will look grey and brightness is tempremental where it drops rapidly while viewing content. HDR is near pointless as the color gamut is around the 50% mark in the BT2020 colour range (which is what HDR runs through) plus brightness is around 400 nits, needs to be at least around 700 to make a good HDR picture.
          As with all TV's the bigger size you get the more inconsistent the picture is. Compared to the Samsung its not too far behind as it has the same VA panel. If you're wanting to watch HDR content alot then it's not a great tv for it. If it's sports and tv shows then it will look better as it has great motion. TV has good upscaling too but sharpness does go overboard on some 1080P content. Contrast is surprisingly dynamic with over 4000:1 ratio. It's a good TV if you don't mind the brightness and poor blacks. Just depends what type of content you will be watching or playing. Unless you find the Sony X9000e or a 8 series Samsung get down around the $2000 mark, the Hisense is as good as most other low to mid range TV's so you won't see much of a difference anyway. Just saw N8 same price as N7 at JBHifi. There was also this model for $2400 for the 65 inch. Best time to buy a TV is in a couple months time when they try to get rid of the stock when the new years models come in…. If you can wait

  • manuemasse on 26/01/2018 - 11:51

    This or the Hisense 55n7?

  • Cits on 26/01/2018 - 17:22

    Retravision has this for $967.00. postage to brisbane was $145 though so only worth it if you happen to live close to a store.
