Reddit mentions of Samsung UN40KU6300 40-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2016 Model)

Samsung. Specifically this lineup.

he's the guy who needed a non-tv, just large 40+" monitor, I suspect he's not interested in paying a lot extra for Japanese broadcast tax if he's never gonna plug in into antenna/cable

edit before you tell me "oh but it's not THAT much",
see https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DUTL4OI/
and let's see price for comparable 40" 4k in jp

Probably this 40" 4k Samsung for $489.

Check out the review from my favorite TV reviews site, Rtings. Trust it more than any other site.

If you're buying a 4k tv to use as a monitor the key is 60 Hz and 4:4:4 chroma and a dual link dvi input or display port 1.2. I would recommend something like the ku6300. I was able to grab one for $300 from frysonline on sale. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN40KU6300-40-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01DUTL4OI

Can someone explain to me the allure of these ultrawide monitors when a Samsung 40" 4k UN40KU6300 is cheaper, has a higher resolution, similar input lag, and similar dpi?

I mean, if you want, you could make your resolution a 3840x1440p band across the display for games while still having a massive desktop.

I'm using this Samsung tv that I got at target last year. We use the PS4 for all of our entertainment, gaming for me and steaming tv/bluray for her. We're happy with it, I just would have liked to get a bigger size.

Yeaa should have specified for music use, not game storage. Thanks for the TV tip! I may go with campelm's idea to future proof myself with a 4k hdr.
Edit: found this one w/hrd for about $60 more than the one you suggested https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DUTL4OI/ref=pd_aw_sbs_504_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Q3J476031X2GDCAJ93F5

Will this one meet the requirements for the PS4 Pro HDR?

I have the 60" version of this TV and love it. One criticism is that if you are sitting to the side the color can appear washed out, but sitting straight in front of the TV it looks great.

I linked the 40" version if that's the size you're after. It also has HDR.

A 34" ultra-wide monitor would be awesome for both gaming and productivity, but they run ~$1000-ish. With a wide monitor, you wouldn't have to worry about bezels getting in the way, and you can have 2-3 programs open at the same time, side by side, for productivity. You can even use a $600-ish 40" 4k TV, but you will be capped at 60 Hz refresh rate, unlike the ROG Swift and Acer Predator x34 at 100Hz.

Is this a good one?

Can anybody please do me a favor and tell me if this TV would be a good buy for me if I want to play 4k games on it?

here is the amazon link for the tv:

here is the rting review:
http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ku6300

I want to buy the 40 inch version, it supports HDR10, 4k and has an input lag of about 20msec (which is good for the price IMO, around $450)

Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions!

4K 120hz. Yeah, not happening. There's this for a 60hz panel, but I'm seeing a lot of post processing that will add a lot of latency

What do you guys think about this one?

The U6300 is only $48 more on Amazon right now... You guys think it's worth it?

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN40KU6300-40-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01DUTL4OI

The Samsung KU6300 is pretty good for that price range.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DUTL4OI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XqkgybCVQTZNE

Edit: actually it's cheaper in terms of USD to Euros

Drastic price difference? 28in Monitor vs 40in TV, the TV is bigger so it's a little more expensive.

There are some good 4K TVs, like this one (it was posted on this subreddit a while back via Costco, although I don't think they sell it anymore).

See i have a samsung 4ktv and have never had a problem with the switch automatically switching to the switch unless i turn on the console while its in the dock or put it in the dock while its on, otherwize if the system is in sleep mode no switch happened to me, this is the samsung tv i have https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN40KU6300-40-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01DUTL4OI

You can easily get a 4k TV for under $500

(not that I'd recommend these, but if you really wanted 4k and were on a budget, you can do it.)

Didn't want to get something too expensive and it's the same size as the HD TV that I've been using for about four years now.

Watched my first HDR 4K title on Netflix last night and I'm pretty impressed.


EDIT: I should correct myself game mode doesn't take ALL the color out but just has a noticeable degradation.

I just picked up a nice Samsung 4k for $436 and per-ordered the ps4 pro. Pretty good deal on a 40 inch hdr 4k. I will mount it with the Freedom Arm HD and it will just float above my pc monitor.

I bookmarked this one to buy after pay day, looks pretty solid. There are bigger versions but the price goes up (obviously)

I mean, right now on Amazon you can get a 4K Samsung 40" for $427 shipped.

If we take it a step further and look at [CamelCamelCamel] (http://camelcamelcamel.com/Samsung-UN40KU6300-40-Inch-Ultra-Smart/product/B01DUTL4OI) you can see that this price is the current bottom, but I think by the holidays the prices are going to fall through the current floor.

EDIT: Clarification, I don't pay Amazon tax directly since I live in a tax-free state.

I got this HDTV which is of very similar quality. It has a beautiful picture and only 19 ms of input delay. 4k @ 60FPS @ 4:4:4

Nice rig!! Go with a big TV!!!

Something like THIS You totally want HDCP 2.2 so make sure you're getting a TV that will support it.

Happy 4k gaming!!
