We should be taking a look at the MU6400 in the near future.Any news on reviews of the mu6400 series? Very similliar TV but a lot of complaints of panel bleed issues (mine included).
Thanks for another great review! I might have missed it, but i think an important point on all 4k tv's under the motion section would be to mention the different panel refresh rates.A lot of 4k panels today are only 50 Hz refresh rate, and that should be specified as it impacts motion quite a lot, especially for gamers.
It's back up to £1399 now at Currys but was still £1299 at Richer Sounds for the 49".I have seen the 49" Q7 model for £1299 with a free blu ray player and Planet Earth in 4k at Curry's. Seems like a decent alternate option unless 55" is essential.
It's a 10-bit panel.8 bit plus dither or legit 10 bit?
The native panel refresh rate is 100Hz.Thanks for another great review!

Thank you again! A good day!
You would be far better purchasing last years 55KS7000 - a far better TV and cheaper:Spent a bit of time at the weekend with my parents JU7000. To be honest, if i had that TV, I would be fairly happy when compared to my current 42" g20 Panasonic. The Sony xe90 is what I want, but i am also considering buying a console which would put it out if budget, therefore this would be a good alternative, how would the MU7000 compare to the JU7000? Ultimately I will wait a few months for black Friday before I pull the trigger.
Yes any of the KS series are but the only problem with them is finding one their a bit like hens teeth nowSo is the KS7000 a better TV than this ?
You could argue that over the JS range too, Samsung's first HDR series, and the JS8500/9000 pretty well outpaces it, and similar for peak nits.Isn't this TV a backward step from the KS range? Lower peak brightness for HDR, and poorer tracking of rec.2020. Yet it's more expensive. Glad I got my KS7000 when I did.
I'd love to meet an Q7 owner, or any Q would do!I have seen the 49" Q7 model for £1299 with a free blu ray player and Planet Earth in 4k at Curry's. Seems like a decent alternate option unless 55" is essential.

I agree that the Sony XE9005 is better. Samsung has definitely overpriced its 2017 models compared to last years range. Of all the LCD TV's that don't meet the minimum standards for UHD Premium certification (if Sony actually forwarded them for this), the XE9005 is also the closest and delivers a much better HDR experience. It makes up for that with FALD I guess.Yes the KS7000 is better IMHO, funny thing is another American site reviewed the MU7000 and it had a few things the opposite of the review here ,ie poor local dimming, medicore colour gamut, I know its all subjective to your own experience, but personally I think I will be buying the Sony 49XE9005 which I think is the best buy in its price range. Samsungs seem overpriced on the MU range, another different site in the UK stated the same thing about MU pricing.
I would link the other MU7000 review site but not sure if we are allowed to do so?
Samsung use different (and confusing) model numbers for EU and North America. The American MU7000 is actually the equivalent of MU6400 here. I guess that perhaps explains why the American site's review was weaker than here.Yes the KS7000 is better IMHO, funny thing is another American site reviewed the MU7000 and it had a few things the opposite of the review here ,ie poor local dimming, medicore colour gamut, I know its all subjective to your own experience, but personally I think I will be buying the Sony 49XE9005 which I think is the best buy in its price range.

Thanks Steve for a nice review. I was actually waiting for a comprehensive review of Samsung's MU range here before finally pulling the trigger on a Samsung MU6500 (curved variant of MU6400). For me the set is fine fore everyday usage as we don't utilize HDR at all for now, except that I think the upscaling of SD content could be a bit blurry at times. And I would very much like to hear your opinion about MU6400 when you have time to take a look. I know it certainly is worse than MU7000 and many other more premium sets, but given the huge price difference (back in August the 65'' MU6400/6500 was almost half price of the 65'' MU7000), maybe it is still a good buy for average users.We should be taking a look at the MU6400 in the near future.
In the US the MU7000 is the equivalent of the MU6400 here and the MU7000 here is the same as the MU8000 in the US, which is really confusing.Yes the KS7000 is better IMHO, funny thing is another American site reviewed the MU7000 and it had a few things the opposite of the review here ,ie poor local dimming, medicore colour gamut, I know its all subjective to your own experience, but personally I think I will be buying the Sony 49XE9005 which I think is the best buy in its price range.
