Reviewing TVs used to be a lot easier. Just a few years ago, plasma sets were known for their superior blacks, LEDs were known to be brighter and thinner; and the very best technologies were reserved solely for the flagship models from a select handful of manufacturers.

In some important respects, Samsung’s new top-of-the-line TV improves upon the company’s previous flagship, and at a lower price.

The Samsung UN65KS9800 is an excellent all-around TV. It combines outstanding light output with a great black level to produce a beautiful image no matter the source--in both bright and dark viewing environments.

The KS9800 is Samsung's hard-hitting flagship series for 2016. It delivers a ton of HDR goodness.

I've been waiting to get this TV for over a year. I almost got last year's model, but I'm glad I waited and got this 2016 version. The picture quality is more than I hoped for. The 4K content is stunning, and even 1080i looks better.

Whatever the cost is of this TV --it is worth it. No glare!!! Viewing from all angles and the picture is spot on!! User friendly and the sound is good with just the TV speakers. Added surround sound and it is even better. Everything you would want from a TV.

Superior to the UN65HU9000. Much brighter, better contrast, more vibrant and speedy operating system. Apps load quickly. One connect is smaller now.Only issue I have is the LAN connection is now on the display and not the one connect box so I have two wires coming from the TV.

  HDR+ option available after software update, provides HDR processing on every input.Very bright displayMotion Plus works well, doesn't look as pixelated as the HU9000 with judder reduction turned up.Easier to access game mode, it's not buried system settings.Every HDMI input is 4k ready

  I wish the 78" was cheaper!I still think that game mode and sports mode should be a button on the remote.
