Best 4K UHD HDR TV for PS4 Pro and PS4 in 2019 – Buyer’s Guide

You don't have to think twice when pushing someone off a cliff. What about 4K TV for Ps4 Pro? Sony's new console PS4 Pro, is capable of 4K HDR gaming. Now you are in the market for a good 4K UHD TV to connect with your new shiny console right? Which 4k TV to buy for PS4 Pro? Here we recommend good TV’s that’s 60"+ HDR TVs along with some info you should be aware of. Full list of supported TV list can be found in this guide as well (4K+HDR input lag added).


Before you buy

What Sony recommend ?


1. They recommend size of 60” and up for average living rooms

Bigger the better but it seems little weird. Room size, seating size and media types are all different for evryone. The price of UHD TV’s fall recently. But it doesn't mean its still affordable. Maybe a good time to pick one. But watch out for below points if you are getting TV for gaming because streaming and gaming on TV is a bit different.

best TV size for your living room?

Note:- The following chart applies to only 4K TV

3.5 to 5 feet - 49"
5 to 6 feet - 55" and 60'' are good. In doubt? Get the bigger one
6 to 7 feet - 65"
more than 7 feet - 75"

2. HDR10 capability

Apparently the above explains only the top of mountain. There are further information you should know to make sure you are spending for the right one. Afterall, you are paying for premium experience.

Before you upgrade, you should get TV with

1. True Ultra- HD (4k)

UHD is a resolution of 3840 pixels × 2160 which is the consumer format.

2. HDR10

Have a look at HDR games compared to non HDR. It's on monitor and not TV.The video is just a glimpse of what real HDR looks like. Because you are watching it through the standard HD monitor or non-HDR compatible device. And game is on 144HZ monitor with peak brightness of 1000 nits and 384 backlight zone. PS4 pro is capped @ 60HZ if you are wondering.




Youtube now added HDR support for videos. awesome right?








Now to the interesting parts. There are two standards. Dolby and HDR10. Some TV’s support only one standard. Some support two. But Sony recommends HDR10 capability.because they chose to go with it. Companies name it differently. LG calls it HDR Pro. Sony does have their branding and calls it 4K HDR. And Samsung adopted SUHD branding.That being said a lot of TVs that claim to have HDR10 can't use it well or at all. lot of them use 8-bit panels, but only the true 10-bit tv panels can use it to its full extent.That's explained next

3. 10bit panel

Get 10bit one to take full advantage of HDR. Why? What’s the difference between 8bit and 10bit? Here is the excerpt from 4k.com and check what they say. If you don't want to read it, then in short '8 bit is 16 million colour and 10 bit - 1billion colors!


4. Low input lag

Its where things get even complicated. The main problem of TV’s compared to monitors is high input lag. Once you turn on the HDR + 4K mode  lag gets even higher. Don't freak out. Some TVs does have Game mode to tackle this problem. Buy the one with very low input lag.

5. 8 Bit panel TVs 

When you buy an 8-bit panel TV, it can receive and play from HDR video source but the content will not be HDR quality just downscaled to 8 bit. So you won't get the full experience of HDR.

6. 8-bit panel TV's with HDR10 (Dithering and AFRC (frame rate control))
AFRC is an 8-bit panel flickering rapidly between two shades of color to simulate an in between shade.Manufacturers often claim 8bit+ FRC as 10bit. But it is not good as true native 10bit panel TVs but come close.It's harder to tell the difference and notice it.

7.Wide color Gamut (WCG) & True HDR theory

4K TV's that don't have WCG support won't fully benefit from HDR because if everything about the TV is same and only difference is lack of WCG support then it won't do anything with HDR signal.The True HDR requires a very large color gamut (Rec. 2020), contrast ratio, and also maximum luminescence being able to output ~350 cd/m2 max. In reality, it should be able to produce extremely bright and dim element at the same time.

Based on official recommendation and high-end spec info already explained you should look at these models depends on budget.

And here is the PS4 pro display chart explaining what'll happen to the output?








I thought i should integrate this supported TV list. There's no point keeping it separate. If you want me to add anything i missed, let me know.The following are TV's with native 10- bit HDR10 support in 2019 so far.

And Finally, 
Best 60"+ UP HDR TV's for PS4 Pro and PS4


We are wrong! we thought Sony is the only tv maker out of their mind with expensive Z9F despite being the HDR beast. Nop, Samsung is one step ahead with Q9F. Topping at 2000nits peak brightness, 100% color volume and incredible input lag (22ms), its the best HDR tv so far on paper. This indeed a mighty beast outgunning OLEDs and Z9F when comes to HDR gaming. But wait, that's not the point. HDR is not the only thing you should consider. If you are a midnight gamer play games only at night, and also from pricing point look no further, LG Oled C8 would be the smart buy. Input lag at 21ms, LG C8 is the best OLED gaming TV you can get in 2019.

LG Electronics OLED65C8P 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV (2018 Model)





So why no QLED? well, there's nothing problem with buying QLED Q8 but the pricing seems off the chart when you can get a better tv for much less



Sony XBR65X900F 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2018 Model)

We think its the only tv which gives fantastic value for the money you throw at it. Don't get fooled. This one is mighty indeed. X900F is a solid tv with better build and full array local dimming backlight system. For the fraction of price of OLED, you can enjoy games and movies.The new model also supports DV.

The Best Buget - 4K HDR10 for Everyone 

TCL R617 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2018 Model)


The all new TCL R617 is a killer budget HDR TV with features of mid range tv. It suports Full-Array Backlight system. And we believe it has the same 72 zones like last year's p 607. Built for HDR gaming and movies. The best 4k HDR Tv for the money, kicking all other HDR tv's left and right when comes to budget gaming without sacrificing performance. And it also supports both HDR10 and Dolby vision! Hits the 1000 nits mark,~19ms input lag and performs incredibly well on games. The panel is 10 bit and outperforms the similarly priced all other models. You should get the R617 if you are looking for 55" or 65" at an affordable price.

The Best budget 4K TV with HDR10 - 50"below 



Sony XBR49X900F 49-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2018 Model)



If we pick the best price/performance gaming tv of 2018, we'd go with X900F. Keep it in your pocket list of 2018. This indeed the best  4K HDR mid-range tv of the year.

Samsung QN49Q6F 49” QLED 4K UHD 6 Series Smart TV 2018



Q6F also wants to run for the trophy. Its also good

We do understand there's no one size that fits all home. But this is the smallest HDR tv we are able to find. we know its the 2017 model but it does have all the features you need.There is a new 2018 model 43" X850 but we don't know when it'll be available in us. probably never

Sony XBR-43X800E 43-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model)




Still, can’t find what to get? Wait for the new TV’s to come out or price to fall. New models comes out March. Price drops are during black Friday and Christmas.You’ll get awesome deals and can save a lot of money. If you have any recommendation or wants to see any info next to each TVs, please let me know! Have fun!

    5. On Sony TVs, You've to set "HDMI signal format" to "enhanced format". If it's still not working change the cables. As someone already pointed out the standard cables comes with PS4 pro may not work. You've to get Premium High Speed HDMI Cable that supports speeds of 18 Gbps (these are certified to work with 4K HDR content).

  3. Some terrible choices of tvs here.. some are not even considered mid performers.. samsung ks9500 or LG Oled 65B6 should easily replace their "premium" picks

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. i apologize.Do you have any particular order or choice that we should consider (or replace) On next update? The reason why i choose to exclude OLED panel TV is because of the inconsistent input lag.if you care about input lag, skip OLED they say

      Delete
    2. And here's another perspectives from other people (thanks to ultimate master) and why i choose Sony X930D or Z9D as our premium choice is the slim backlight drive.
      It's what they shown at the conference with Days Gone with the cocktail Molotov, the TV will have a specific lit brighter for fires, sunlight, lights, and other artifacts that should be brighter in reality, you'll get it on your TV. All PS4 with HDR10 will give you that experience.
      Most TVs this year have a cheap edge-lit backlight. Samsung's dynamic settings can take advantage if edge-lit with some trailers where everything goes dark before going to a new scene, but it's nowhere near as impressive as what Sony is offering.
      To give a perspective, Samsung promotes HDR 1000 for 1000nits of brightness, it's an industry standard.
      The X930D of Sony goes to 4000nits for specific areas of the Screen. Far better lighting than any other LED TVs. So if you want to go high-end, this is the LED TV to get.

    3. Um the UN49KS800 is a great value, low input lag (even on 4k+HDR) true 10bit panel, sound quality (is a bit above the subpar quality of television) lol not 1 single review has been bad or below average for that television and NUMEROUS sites, say the same thing why the hell would I go with the 8500 or 9000 samsung series, when the upgrades are not such a huge difference, beyond color/gamut - and off-screen uniformity I would say there isn't a huge upgrade, I've viewed the 9000 series upclose calibrated for CNS performance, the design, the thickness, the input lag, picture quality, contrast/black uniformity, peak brightness, grey uniformity are all great (and above average) the only area it slightly falls below would be off-angle uniformity (which for me wont be a problem as I stand infront 4 feet away) making the near 50incher perfect. pre and POST calibration are 9.5 & 9.9 rating. 480/720/1080p content is above average rating, 4k content, color gamut, gradience & reflection are all (as well) above average rating. motion blur & 24p playback also above average solid rating. Motion interpolation is exceedingly high.

      Input lag: 1080 @60hz - 20.9 ms
      1080p w/ interpolation - 114.9 ms
      1080p @60 outside game mode - 113.5ms
      1080p @60hz 4:4:4 - 35.8 ms
      4k @ 60hz - 21.7 ms
      4k @ 60hz @ 4:4:4 - 35.7 ms
      4k @ 60hz + HDR10 - 21.1 ms
      4k @ 60hz @ 4:4:4 + HDR10 - 34.7 ms

      it supports ALL resolutions besides 1080 @ 120hz
      total: 4 HDMI inputs (input rating has also got a decent number)
      HDR10=yes
      Dolby Vision=yes
      5.1 Passthrough ARC Dolby Digital = yes
      HDMI 2.0 full bandwith = yes
      HDCP2.2=yes
      CEC=yes
      5.1 Passthrough Optical DTS = yes
      USB3=no
      Variable Analog Audio Out=yes
      Sound quality is also above average, with a lower rating towards total harmonic distortion (but the frequency response is higher then the average flat panel television by far).
      Smart features have been given an 8.5 in rating (above average) w/ remote control also smooth & easy to use (intuitive) controls.
      Out of the box its simplistic to use & ready only after a few small tweaks and minimal time involved.
      And ratings & reviews (CNET, rtings, bluecollar) all sites say the same thing that KS8000 beats the JS8500 in picture and value anyday of the week. The 9000 isn't such a huge upgrade with the slightly adversed Quantum Dot Technology (which is the same with all models) to warrant the purchase, unless you really do want to spend that extra money. I am more then satisfied with the KS8000 (and I used to work with and sell televisions for a living). I would prefer for gaming The Samsung UN49KS8000 (or bigger screen based on your living conditions as said above) over most other models in the price range.

    4. Infact - not 1 of the rtings/CNET review include the 9000 or 9500 series as a contender for gaming television (the 9000 series gets a particular high rating for HDR movies) but beyond that - repeatedly site after site review score after review score I am seeing the 8000 series as the best mid-level, highest value and best performer (and I can attest to that FIRST person) after over 100 hours of actual hands on play time/test-time. I agree there is some choices here that IMO should be omitted but overall a decent list. I agree with a few of them.

    7. Hi Admin,

      Some very good points here i am actually debating between the samsung KS series and the X930 for christmas. I def like to game and watch movies so i want a good tv with a good combination. My question is the input lag for the X930 for the 65 inch in deed lower then the 55 inch? Theres also a bend issue i am reading about with the X930? hows that holding up now?

      Delete
    8. It was cnet review which stated the 65 inch version input lag is ~30'sh something in game mode. Whereas rtings,hdtest measured it over 50ms.Yes, there's bent frame issues (its difficult to notice) with certain units.

      The TV don't have any effect on PSVR headest and cinematic mode.Actually PSVR don't even require a TV!PlayStation VR’s integrated display tops out at 1920 x 1080; it does not support 4K output. Also, the PSVR headset does not support HDR features.

  9. Is Sony 43" X80D 4K HDR with Android TV enough for PS4 pro? I'm not sure how many bit the panel is but that is the cheapest 4k HDR tv of Sony here in Asia. And I'm not sure if it is HDR10 or Dolby Vision.. and have no Idea on the refresh rate is only says motionflow xr 200hz

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I believe X80D is the same model as X800D ( Both are 8000 series). And as for X80D,It does support HDR10 standard but i'm not sure its through 8bit panel+FRC Or true native 10bit panel.The X800D does have 10bit panel (confiremd by rtings).So most likely X80D has 10bit native panel as well (i'm not 100% sure because regional models varies sometimes).The refresh rate on both models are different as well (Both has obviously fake refresh rates, the real refresh rate is 60HZ).I'm sure X80D won't support Dolby vision format.

      Delete
    2. Thanks for the info. Whats the main feature/specs to look for in a tv by the way for ps4 pro? Is it ok as long as it has 4k and hdr10? Is it safe to assume that television made by sony would work well with ps4 pro as long as its 4k and hdr10?

      Delete
    3. Apart from 4K,HDR10 Support,True native 10bit panel, You should check
      Wide color gamut support, peak brightness,contrast,and 'Real' refresh rate (120HZ is good for gaming and sports) and local dimming techniques used. Btw Sony motion flow 200hz refresh rate is 50HZ, and not 60hz(correction). Any TVS with 4K+HDR10 support will work with PS4 pro. Generally Sony TVs does better upscaling.

      Delete
    4. Since sony x80d is the cheapest 4khdr in the market would you suggest that its ok to purchase it for ps4 pro or should I wait for new models early next year and wait for price drops? The refresh rate is low and I think its not good for gaming. The only good thing I saw with this TV unit is 4k+hdr+10bit panel.

    5. Also don't forget to check input lag. I forgot lel

    6. I think its better to hold X80D purchase till march/April if you are not sure about it.New models from various manufatures is very close (should see them in early march or Q1 2017). Then price of old models will drop and new models arrive. Then you'll have more choice to select the TV

    8. What is the ideal contrast ratio and peak brightness btw? I forgot to ask.

      Delete
    9. The amount of brightness (or black) measured in cd/m^2 ( 'cd' stands for candela,SI unit of luminous intensity) also known as ‘nits.’
      1 cd/m^2 = 1 nit
      generally speaking more than 500 nits peak brightness and less than 0.03 nits black level is good.
      more than 1000 nits and less than 0.02 black level is the top notch.Its Hard to obtain the 'perfect black (0 nit)' unless its an OLED TV.

      infinite : 1 is the ideal contrast ratio value (only OLED can achieve it at this time)- Top notch
      the above contrast ratio indicate that the whites on this display can be infinitely brighter than the blacks.
      I consider 4000: 1 is a good value
      And the higher the contrast ratio its better

  11. Perfect guide! This is exactly what i was looking for. I went to best buy today and was recommended the sony x800d model. The guy i talked to was a gamer as well and strongly recommended the sony over the lg. Due to input lag. LG's hdr pro is just another name for hdr10 (for those wondering like i was) which the very reasonably priced lg UH6030 model has. Everything you said about the x800d model was what the expert described. So its great to have that second opinion. Im going for the 43" due to my room size. Its also a massive increase from the 32" i have currently. Thanks again.

      So, if you'are looking for a monitor for the PS4 Pro, your best choice is 4K monitor or 1080p monitor because 1440p monitor image will be downscale to 1080p.
      If you are looking for a monitor for the PS4, best choice is 1080P monitor,on higher resolutions the image will look blurry.Personally, i like 24" monitors.

    1. Don't sweat. Its a great gaming TV. I looked through rtings and found this from comment section.

      "but since other TVs in the JU series were able to produce a smooth gradient we would expect the same for the JU7500 (10 bit). As for HDR, the JU7500 doesn't have a very wide color gamut and can't get that bright so even if HDR content plays, it won't look that much better than regular content."
      Also i found this from other review
      "JU7500 doesn’t have all the future-proofing features of the SUHD range with its wider colour gamut, HDR support and 10-bit panel'

      Rtings test methodology is different ' As long as the the TV perform smoothly over 10-bit gradient test, they'll categorize it as 10 bit tv even if it don't have 10 bit panel.
      So we have to make sure the panel is 10-bit explicitly

      Delete
    2. The reason, Its 8-bit or 10 bit? is due to ' Samsung lottery panel'phenomena.Some TV's end up with 10 bit panel and others 8 bit panel. Its purely luck.

      This seems to be a 10 bit panel HDR, with 4:4:4 chroma, I believe the 55" has an IPS panel too.

      I have been looking everywhere for a comparison between the KS8000 and the KS7000... I can't genuinely see a difference.... Even in-store side-by-side....

      I've checked all the reviews, it is literally half the price of the KS8000 yet, they look identical. To me anyway.

      It is between the KS7000 and the Sony X800D. What do you recommend?

      Delete
    3. KS7000 is the UK equivalent of KS8000 in US. That,s why you see no difference.
      KS7000 is better (input lag is around ~21 ms)

  20. So without going through all comments and getting inpatient, from a gamers perspective which is the best and one and only choice of tv to choose for PS4 pro. Taking into consideration all factors input lag etc. Also is it worth buying a new tv now or waiting until next year?

    1. Its hard to tell without knowing your criteria. Regardless
      Absolute best - Z9D
      Better buy - KS8000

      Usually price of old models drops before release of new TV in early march. I think its better off waiting because we are only 3 months away from it.

  23. I've looked around everywhere and I finally decided on 4 options and I was wondering if you could help out a lil bit? I have a Sony 4K 2014 model and I just got the PS4 pro and I'm in dire need of an upgrade so I managed to look around and and make things a lil stressful! Option #1 to get the Samsung ks8500 Option #2 to get the Samsung ks8000 Option #3 to wait till the prizes drop next year and last option #4 to wait for the new models to come out! What's the best case scenario in your opinion? And also? Is there a big difference between both Samsung models that a mentioned? If so what are they and which one do you recommend for gameing and watching tv? Please and thank you

    1. Greetings, KS8000 is really tempting and you already have a 4K TV. still, I think its better off waiting to see whats coming next year and price to fall (#3 and #4).
      KS8500 and KS8000 performance is same,they are almost identical except KS8500 is curved.Other than that no big difference.gaming on curved TV's is subjective and mixed views.

One last question, will you be making reviews such as this one when the next generation of 4K tvs come out?

      8000 (8500 is curved model of 8000) and 9000 (9500 is curved model of 9000) performs about the same. Main difference is the design. 8000/9000 series has Edge-lit LED backlighting whereas 9800 (curved) has Full array local dimming (FALD).The design is adopted from 9000. They posses similar design pattern.The colors are more accurate on 9800 and blacks are deep (still won't rival OLED's black). When viewed in daylight the difference can't be noticed. But in dark the difference can be clearly observed.

    1. Some TVs require you to change a specific setting that enables support for HDR. For,Vizio TV - you've to anable "HDMI Color Subsampling" on each HDMI port; on Sony TVs, You've to set "HDMI signal format" to "enhanced format"; For samsung its "HDMI UHD Color" and "HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color" for LG. I'm not sure what's the option for sharp. Its better to ask in forums. If it still not working try changing the cables. Look for Premium HDMI Certified Cables. These are certified to work with 4K HDR content.
      As for LG 55UH6030 it supports HDR10. But i'm not sure about the panel is 8 bit or 10bit and supports Wide color gamut.

Also the input lag is in the 60ish range (4K+HDR) which is ok for casual gaming but not that good in general.Also it lacks local dimming. The 55" model has local dimming and uses Edge-lit backlight and touches 300nits. Still the input lag is very high

  48. Thank you very much for such a detailed review. What do you think is a better choice for PS4 Pro, Sony KD-55XD8599 or KD-55XD8005 (those are model numbers in Russia). The reason I am asking is... I don't understand how a lower priced model can be better than a higher priced. Another thing is multiplayer gaming on PS4 Pro, as I understand, MP games are looked to 30 fps to balance PS4 and PS4 Pro, can this be helpful for choosing the right TV? I mostly play MP. Thank you in advance.

    1. The only main difference i find is the refresh rates on TV. 8005 has 50HZ native and 8599 has 100hz native.What difference it make?
      First, There's no HDMI version that supports 4k at 120hz. HDMI 2.0 limits 4K @ 60HZ. SO how they doing it? They repeat the same 'input frame' multiple times to get the higher refresh rate.Once you turned on Game mode on TV all the motion enhancing stuff will get turned off (TO lower the input lag). This induces higher chance for motion blur on TV. Many won't notice it. Some don't even bothered with it. But IMO You need 120Hz/100HZ to really combat motion blur. Any content that has a lot of fast, horizontal panning of the camera higher refresh rate modes can help. In your case it can help.
      Would that justifies higher price? Not if there's huge gap.

  49. Hi, i want to upgrade to a 4K tv, and have sort of narrowed it down to either samsung ks7000/8000 (60") vs the sony Bravia KD-65XD8505 (Europe models). The problem that withholds me everytime from buying is input lag. I know the samsungs have game mode, but the little i know is that game mode will make games look bad. I use my TV primarily for gaming and my PS4 (want to upgrade to 4K console) to play online FPS games such as battlefield. Input lag nags at me everytime I look at TV and no manufacturer advertise this, and there is no PC monitor the size I'd like as I'm around 4.5 meters away from TV. Which one would be better for gaming FPS games (online) - Samsung or Sony?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Samsung is the way to go. It does have the lowest input lag and best picture quality. Since you are into FPS games,it's the right one suits you.
      Game mode is to tackle input lag. Once its on all the pretty motion enhancing stuff will gets turned off.So the motion blur will become more noticeable.That might be people referring to games look bad.If the native refresh rate is high enough over 100HZ then there won't be much problem with look of the games.

    3. LOL *facepalm* hmm. Usually,there shouldn't be any difference in video quality if it runs through AV reciever.That being said cable box would be better straight into the tv as it can then send an rgb picture, When it goes through the receiver you will just get composite.That might be the issue. What's your cable box and receiver models?

  55. Cable Box is an Arris mx011anc and receiver is a Pioneer VSX-1021-k

  56. Also when setting up the ps4 video settings to automatically choose between RGB and YUB420 my screen would intermittently go black while playing. What should the video setting be in the ps4? What is the difference between the two settings?

    1. Its to do with chroma sampling. I'm now quoting from reddit user(benbenkr).Its the simplest answer i found else would take a decade to explain lol. Thanks to him.
      "YUV420 refers to 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. It is recommended to use YUV420 for HDR BECAUSE HDMI 2.0 does not have enough bandwidth to do 4:4:4 a.k.a RGB at 10bit, with HDR enabled.So with YUV420, HDR10 (10-bit) can be passed through the limitation of the HDMI 2.0 bandwidth"

    2. To make it precise. YUV420 for HDR content. RGB for Non HDR content.
      Can you set the PS4 to full RGB range and deep color?. On the TV, keep the HDMI black level to normal and UHD Color to off.Don't forget to match the color space output of the console with that of the TV input.

  57. Hi Admin,

    can you confirm the reports for the X930D that the input lag is reduced for the 65 inch? i heard about the patch but still getting mixed reviews. I really like the sony because of your points about the 1000 nits vs 4000 nits. Samsung would probably be my alternative.

    1. It was cnet review which stated the 65 inch version input lag is ~30'sh something in game mode. Whereas rtings,hdtest measured it over 50ms.

  58. what about people that don't have a new 2016 model 8000 series i have a JS8000 2015 .it kinda sucks i bought it exactly 1 year ago not knowing about the new craze that HDR would bring but i did speak with a samsung rep and i do indeed have HDR even my PS4PRO says it's HDR supported maybe not 10bit panel but oh well. When i play in game mode everything looks so grey even with most of these settings matched. i did see improvements in lag but i'm happy in DYNAMIC MODE everything just seems right. game still looks amazing in 4k i'll just wait few more years before i get a newer model, by then i'm pretty sure all this HDR crap will be figured out and maybe we will even see 5k-6k gaming tvs technology is only going to improve. what do you think ADMIN? should i stay with this T.V not sure if it's any good for gaming or HdR

    1. HDR wasn't mainstream until consoles added support for it in games this year. The 4K HDR thing will stay around for a while.Honestly, IMO only TV purists should be only concerned about it for now. As time goes on, the premium features will be available on mainstream models. Considering HDR is still at infancy, later on the road, there'll be better models and price would go down.I think we are good till 2018. Stay with your TV for a while before next upgrade.I see there's no point to drop another grand purely for HDR for now.

  63. Hi Admin, Can you help me check the Sony X7000D 49" 4k HDR whether it is suitable to bring out the best of PS4 pro? or will it lag? Thanks in advance.

    1. hello. I couldn't find specific info about that model beacuse regional model varies. Close comparison is X700D.It does have 10bit panel but no Wide color Gamut support and peak brightness is better than average. The input lag is 32.4ms which is really good and you won't have any lag issues.Overall it's very good for pro

      Delete
  64. admin do you recommend game mode or hdr+ mode or neither on the KS8000? I do hear some people complain about the game mode not sure why it looks great on my 8000.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I thought the lower the input lag the better?? 32.4ms is pretty high

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, you are right.Lower is better.For Tvs, 30ms is considered as target performance and is very good. For competitive/shooters gaming it should be minimum ~20ms or lower which i believe the lowest most TVs can get today. And ofcourse it only applies to TVs. For monitors, its different story

  66. I can't find specs in this TV, Samsung KU6600 55 inch 6-Series . Would it be compatible ?

    1. It won't get full benefit of HDR even though it has HDr10 support cuz the tv don't have wide color support and panel is 8 bit.

  67. Hi Admin, great thread. It helped me to find a good TV. I'm going to buy Samsung UE55KS8000 (europe/The Netherlands). I hope it's almost the same as: Samsung UN65KS8000.

    Thanks you made it easy to learn which specs are important.

    1. Europe/UK version of KS8000 is KS9000 in US
      Europe/UK version of KS7000 is KS8000 in US

      So you are getting Higher Tier TV than KS8000. Not much of difference in terms of picture. Only design changes. Good luck

    2. Yeah I'm going for a KS700 (Eu/UK) is cheaper.
      Thank you! Why do they change the version names...

  68. hi so I asked this before but want to confirm. is the Samsung ks9000 full rgb compatible meaning it'll work with the ps4 pro in full rgb? the reason I ask is because when I set my TV black levels to normal...it looks grayed out....when I set it to low with full rgb it looks better. any info would be appreciated. does the game itself need to state it supports full rgb? I'm pretty sure the TV supports full rgb because when I turn ff 15 hdr on and ps4 pros full rgb the black levels in the TV settings will lock to normal. cannot be changed

    ReplyDelete

    1. Yes and it should.If you Put PS4 Pro on full rgb and your tv(HDMI Black level) to normal , It should work properly. But it's not working as intended.I guess its a known issue and should be addressed via patch

  69. Hi, thanks for the page. It has really helped. our Local Best Buy here in the states has two Samsung's on sale next week - UN55KU6300FXZA ($699) & UN55KS8000FXZA ($1199). Is the KS800 really worth the $500 difference in price? I am planning to get this mainly for the PS4 which I play off/on (life getting in the way an all). 55" is fine since my game chair is only about 6-8' away.

    1. KS8000 is really worth if you are upgrading to PS4 pro or more powerful consoles later.If you are going to stick with PS4 and not upgrading its not worth.

    2. Thanks.. and after further research, decided to get the 65" KS8000 after all (in for ounce in for a pound).

    3. Great! We hope you'll have good time with the set

  70. on the ks8000 I have it hooked to a pioner receiver for 5.1 surround sound and when i set the tv to always play sound from the receiver it all works fine until I shut off the tv then when I go to turn it back on the sound defaults to tv speakers? I cannot get it to default to my receiver. Any ideas?
