Yeah I understand. It does seem that there has been a substantial uplift in pricing from the KS series though or am I imagining it?
The 55KS7000 on release was £1500 and so is the 55MU7000 which is this years equivalent model.
Samsung have released another tier of TV`s which are the Q range (Several variations of the 7,8,9 Q series are available in flat and curved) and that is where the prices have increased by around £800-1000).
