Comment on Samsung UN78HU9000 Curved 78-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz 3D LED TV by Kram Semaj.
Extraordinary detail. The next leap forward…,
Pros:
It is disconcerting for a television this large to be so light.
Picture is extraordinary right out of the box. Colors are vivid, detail is incredible with a 4k source. Upscaled 1080i (cable) looks like true 3d. Incredible depth of detail. Can’t wait to see what it can do after calibration.
Basic controls are for the most part intuitive.
Cons:
Despite the curved screen, side views still degrade. Colors wash out to a fleshy beige tone. Best to sit in front of it.
Good thing basic controls are intuitive, features like voice activation, gestures, etc. aren’t obvious, and documentation is lacking.
You need to know how to operate the remotes to find and use the eManual.
Update 5/27/2014-
Just a brief update after living with the TV for a few weeks. After a professional calibration the picture is improved and better than ever. We turned off most of the sharpness settings and other gimmicks and set the grayscale- the picture is more natural from internet and cable tv sources. Upscaled live sports are just as sharp as full 4k content from Netflix. I do on rare occasion see a few moments of action jitter during live sport or the stock ticker. It always resolves after a few seconds.
