villakram Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 @PieFacE sorry, I was being flippant. I know what it is in regard to TVs, I was just associating it with a pet hate of mine from the photography world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2016 Got my eye on this TV now For anyone on a smaller budget, this seems like a very good deal to my relatively untrained eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone knows As far as I can tell it's just Samsung's 2016 UHD range. In 2015 they called it UHD, 2016 it's SUHD. I think it's just newer, so probably better than the older one but I imagine not particularly noticeable. The bad thing about that TV is the feet design. You need a massive table for it! The 50 inch would be ok for me but the 55 inch I wouldn't be able to buy purely because it wouldn't fit on my TV unit (which I've just bought so I'm not getting a new one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. I don't really like TVs on walls generally, but regardless I'm renting at the moment and drilling into the wall would not go down well!

mykeyb Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 As someone who spent the last couple of weeks investigating UHD TVs I will pass on what I have gleamed (correctly or otherwise). Apparently HDR is not good enough if you want to get the best results. It should be a 10bit panel and also the brightness (nits value) has to be at a certain level to give proper HDR. Samsungs SUHD tvs and LG super UHD are 2 ranges that should in theory be certified Ultra HD Certified. Not really sure how you differentiate which of the Sony or Panasonic ones are up to that standard. OLED is out unless you have money to throw at it., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 25, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2016 The Hisense M7000 appears to be getting some love as a 'bang for your buck' option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some of the big boys need to take note and deliver this sort of performance vs value. Couple of rival models for comparison are Samsungs KS7000 and Panasonics DX750 at around £600 more.

Hi mate, not really, it's just that i have the space for a 43" (just), but could look at 40" I suppose. I just can't go bigger than 43". Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks But do you want 4k, HD, how many HDMI ports, do you want android, built in apps, camera, mic, etc. If the only thing that matters is the size, just buy the cheapest.

Had it, returned it. It's good, but if you're going to spend that amount on a TV you may as well just save a little bit extra and get one from a more reputable brand. Whilst the picture quality is good on the M7000, it's OS is horrendous and incredibly frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
