I think this is a very tempting deal. It's the same as the HU7500 range except no 3D and no Freesat tuner. Like the other range it has the HEVC codec which has the potential for 4k streaming over the net.
The only reservation I have is the 200hz refresh rate, which seems rather low. Samsung's models from last year had refresh rates of 800hz or more. It could be irrelevant though.
There's also a 40" version for £999, but I think that's too small for 4k.
The range comes out in early June.
Completely different level of build and picture quality IMO, also seek out a properly setup
Sharp UQ10 in either 60/70 inch sizes, I know it's not a proper 4k set but it handles 4k content
Fantastically well, and it's priced well £1799/2999. And I've not seen a set as well built for ages.
Do you own this tv or do you work in selling tvs? What issues does it have?Believe me, it really is a poor effort from Samsung no matter what i've done with it the Picture is really not very good
ThanksI'm in trade and sell the full Samsung range, I really think that Samsung are just trying to meet a particular price point, the build is very lightweight, the HU7500/8500 are lightyears better, but at their prices you'd understand that!
I'm going to have a proper go at it today to see if there's a setting that works, I watched a bit of the FA Cup final on Saturday on the HU6900 and the motion handling was a bit problematic, showing a fair bit of blur, with the limited 4k demo content we have it looks very good, but not as good as the HU7500/8500 or as I mentioned was it as good as the UQ10 Sharp that I compared it with last week.
So bare with me and i'll see what can be done! It maybe just finger trouble on my behalf....
If you go to a web site called Reevoo I have found that someone has given a review on the Samsung UE55HU6900 but if you are thinking about buying one shop round first to get your best price you could get one now for under £1,000Its a 4k TV for only £1400 but I can not see any reviews for it, and its not on Samsung website. Concerned about the quality, on what seems like a very good deal?
I would be too if we hadn't replaced the TV in december, £799 seems a pretty good deal.
I'm a bit confused about the HU6900 series, there's one review out there that basically says it's crap, but when you listen to people they seem to be pretty happy.
Would be nice if there's a few more reviews, especially now it's available regularly sub £1000
Got a reply from JL, won't price match the discounted price only the web price of £949 . Oh well, see what gets announced at IFA I guess.
