Since these standards are so new, we are still developing a full set of tests for our reviews and the workflow will continue to evolve as the test patterns and calibration software is updated to reflect a better understanding of how these standards are being implemented.Īlthough the KS7000's tracking of the PQ EOTF was excellent, it's ability to track the saturation points for the Rec.2020 colour space wasn't as impressive. The measurements and graphs shown in the previous section are based on the existing standards, whilst the measurements and graphs in this section are based on the new standards including HDR. The colour temperature for white remains D65 but the colour space is now Rec.2020 and the content is currently being mastered at between 1,000 and 4,000nits. The new standards are based on the Ultra HD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and a 10-bit video depth. The existing standards are based on the a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 8-bit video, with D65 for the colour temperature of white, Rec.709 for the colour space and content being mastered at 100nits. That doesn't mean that the existing standards of D65 and Rec.709 are now redundant because the majority of the content that we watch will continue to use those standards for years to come but it does mean that TVs released in 2016 also need to adhere to the new standards as closely as possible. We are currently going through a period of change in the television industry, with a new set of standards being established for Ultra HD 4K content. The overall dimensions of the UE55KS70 x 776 x 233mm (WxHxD), with a weight of 17.6kg.

However you do have the option to wall mount the TV using standard 400 x 400 VESA mounts and included spacers. The feet are 112cm apart, which means you’ll need a fairly wide surface to position the KS7000 on and obviously it can’t be swivelled. We found that, as with many problems in life, a lump of Blu-Tack solved that particular issue but we have asked Samsung to attach the feet more firmly in future designs. These slot into place at either end but, for some reason, Samsung have decided not to include screws to keep the feet in place, which means they have an annoying habit of falling out when you move the TV. The panel sits on two chrome feet, that Samsung calls a ‘branch’ stand. It seems that every year Samsung release at least one TV that delivers an outstanding combination of performance and value so can they do it again in 2016 with the KS7000? Let's find out.Ĭonsidering its price, the build quality is very good on the KS7000 and certainly matches the more expensive KS7500 and both models use Samsung's 360 degree design ethos, which means the rear is a glossy black plastic.

The KS7000 is available in 49-, 55- and 60-inch screen sizes and we're reviewing the UE55KS7000 which, as at the time of writing (June 2016), retails for just £1,499 – that's £200 cheaper than the equivalent UE55KS7500. The TV also comes with the latest version of Samsung’s Smart TV platform, the new Smart Controller and a One Connect box with four HDMI 2.0a inputs. The KS7000 is LED edge-lit and includes both Precision Black local dimming and an Ultra Black anti-reflection moth eye filter. Like all the models in the SUHD range this year, the KS7000 supports HDR 10 and is certified as Ultra HD Premium – which means it uses a 10-bit VA panel, can reach over 90% of DCI-P3, thanks to Quantum Dot technology, and can deliver at least 1,000nits of peak brightness. The KS7000 is Samsung's entry-level flat screen model in its SUHD range of Ultra HD 4K TVs.
