I had purchased a sony 4k tv last year and after a few replacements and issues, we paid sony to upgrade us to their flagship worlds thinnest model which was plagued with backlight bleed each replacement tv having more worse bleeding after a lot of talking they finally refunded me and so I was back again in the market to see for a new 4k tv.
I needed 3d and 4k as its main features and also a tv that performed well to justify its price tag.
I looked at the lg line up and loved the 950t but when I looked at it clearly it didnot give me the good feeling a tv should give so of to samsung and thats where I see the suhd js9000 series. Samsungs flagship, the colors and black levels blew me away and thats when I decided this tv is what I shall buy.
Since samsung is updating its line up I have been through 8 stores that all told me no stocks, heck vijay sales booked the tv for me and then said they have no stocks.
Almost about to give up I found this tv in a not so famous outlet ready stock and packed.
I shall leave out most of the tech specs since its available on the site but I will cover what I found as a consumer.
The tv looks gorgeous, a lovely curved screen with silver bezel and also comes with a one connect box.
What does the one connect box do? well its the brains of the tv all processing and inputs are taken care of the box. The box connects to the tv by a single cable. Now what would be the use of having an external box? well you can connect your pend drives to it without struggling to reach around the tv if its wall mounted or on table top. good thing by samsung but whats the real icing is that say this year theres some new hdmi standards or say some new features I just need to replace the box and not the entire tv and since the panel is a 10bit panel it supports hdr.
The installer came and was pretty professional, I asked them for a slim wall mount whihc costs 3000 bucks but was free. the guy used templates to mark holes and drill and then fix it. not a bit of error and was perfectly mounted.
Setting up was easy and the colors seemed the way I like it out of the box without any need for calibration.
the tv uses edge led local dimming meaning you get more blacks but the panel being a va panel does not have the best viewing angles. The tv does come very close to oled kind of black levels but for a way lesser price.
the tv comes with one smart remote which does the job well, navigating through apps is a breeze and there is no lags as compared to my previous sony android tv
the sound from the tv is pretty good to be honest it gives a good fill and presence and some good surround simulations. Updates are out form time to time and they do add some new features and fixes.
so far its been a month and I have only faced a software glitch with the arc sending my reciever to tv audio mode from time to time when watching from my set up box via the amp. for now managed to fix by turning of auto switching.
