Samsung UN65HU9000 curved HDTV review: 65 inches of luscious; but LCD doesn't beat OLED

If money is no object, OLED technology looks better than LCD. But how many of us can honestly say money is no object?

65-inch curved display looks glorious ; Compatible with Comcast and DirecTV's 4K offerings

LCD doesn't deliver as much contrast as OLED ; Steep price premium for 4K, considering how little content is available

This curvaceous Samsung looks great, and it's priced well for a 65-inch 4K TV. But OLED technology just looks better.

Great picture quality, but the curved screen is a flat-out gimmick

Although it does help reduce reflections somewhat, the curved shape of Samsung's UNHU9000 4K TV does nothing else to improve image quality, and in some ways actually impairs it. And it costs a whole lot more than a flat TV.

The UNHU9000 curved 4K LED LCD has an excellent picture with deep black levels, accurate color and great bright-room viewing qualities. Its styling is drop-dead gorgeous, and the curve lends a unique, futuristic look. The feature set is...

Aside from reducing reflections somewhat, the curve provides no benefit to image quality, and in fact introduces subtle distortions. The HU9000 is also more expensive than most 65-inch 4K TVs, including Samsung's own flat versions. The high resolution...

The Samsung HU9000 has straight-up great picture quality, design and features, but the gratuitous curved screen adds very little to the viewing experience and way too much to the price.

Samsung UN78HU9000F

Samsung says the curve increases immersion, but the UN65HU9000 feels no more "immersive" than any big, flat, excellent-performing TV. At times I was distracted by the distortions the curve introduced, but for the most part I never noticed it. The curve...

A Review of the Samsung UN78HU9000 Curved 78-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz 3D LED TV

As one of the first 4K TVs from Samsung to come equipped with an HEVC decoder, the Samsung UN78HU9000 was way ahead of many UHD TV models in being a piece of technology that's ready for the future.

One excellent viewing experience ; Packed with display enhancement technologies ; Future-proofed design ; Full connectivity ; Excellent built-in speakers ; Great Smart TV UI with Smart Hub and remote control ; Beautifully large screen

Too expensive ; Side-angle viewing isn’t as great as it could be ; Lacks full-array LED backlighting

In terms of features and overall quality, the HU9000 goes the whole nine yards without failing in any way but you could probably settle for something cheaper and still be very happy.

Samsung’s suggested retail price for this TV is a stunning $6,000. That dropped to $4,500 when I started the review, but it fell to $4,000 by the time this review made it through my editor’s hands. That’s $500 more than LG’s 55-inch model 55EC9300, but...

Samsung UN65HU9000 Review: Reality Bending Curvature 4k TV, Awesome Resolution

Samsung's UN65HU9000 tosses a new twist on 4K UHD TVs by introducing a cool looking and effective screen curvature onto the marketplace. According to the manufacturer, this is the future of television, and considering their pioneering efforts in...

Exquisite 4K/UHD picture quality ; Superb rendering of regular HD content ; Smooth motion rendering with the quad core processor ; Complete and advanced wireless and cable connectivity ; Extraordinarily light for its size ; Powerful package of...

This is one expensive 4K TV ; Somewhat lackluster 3D Viewing ; 4K TVs are going to get cheaper, so wait a bit longer

This curvy 4K is the UHD TV to beat right now.

As Samsung's flagship 4K TV for 2014, this behemoth display is prepared for the content of tomorrow while delivering some of the best smart features and software from today.

Samsung UN55HU9000 4K 120Hz Smart LED TV

The Ultra Clear Panel does a lot to improve the picture quality on the 65HU9000. The most noticable improvement is the reduction of reflection and absorbsion of ambient lighting. These Ultra Clear Panels take care of that problem without creating a...

Colors can really pop on the 65HU9000. More important though is the source content since the picture quality depends upon the resolution the content was filmed in. Displaying true 4K content is going to get the best picture out of this TV hands down....

Great picture quality, but the curved screen is a flat-out gimmick

Samsung has poured millions into research and development for its curved TVs, and millions more into marketing under the slogan, "The Curve Changes Everything." Ironically, in my experience the curve changes pretty much nothing, except the price.
