I have a question about HDR videos, the TV normally automatically detect if the source video has got HDR or not and set the picture mode to HDR accordingly. There is no problem when I play the 4K HDR video from external sources like USB HDD or from media player but when I play the 4K HDR demo from Youtube, the TV can't detect it. Any idea why? Youtube is still with the highest count of HDR sources.

You probably right, but the picture looks so good, I believe it is in 4K. Let me check your suggestion.


I'm using the built-in TV Youtube app only, I'm not playing Youtube from external sources. I'm playing 4K HDR .mkv file from external HDD connected to the USB port of the TV and that the TV can detect the HDR source.

RM6999 display set and RM7799 new set.

You are exactly same as me... LOL
Other countries has got the 65" KS7000 but we don't. Don't understand why Samsung Malaysia think we all preferred the curved TV. 55" too small. Alternative if can find LG UH950t is good also, the 4k is quite impressive.

From where did the SA got the info that MU6100 is IPS panel? This is almost impossible because Samsung doesn't produce IPS panel and they will have to buy panel from LG, their largest competitor.

Yes, viewing angle is definitely better on IPS and IPS pixel level response time is faster, so less motion blur for sports and fast moving scenes. Also the non black color reproduction is better as well, check out those LG SUHD TV with 10bits panel, the color is just impressive. The biggest problem for IPS is contrast, if you will watch the TV in dark room like bedroom at night, don't buy IPS TV, the black is bad with light bleed. But for large well lit living room, the IPS TV can produce quite good picture even watching from side.

KS7500 is a very nice TV from last year, however not everyone like the curved screen, I'm one of those. However, it doesn't mean that the LG is not good. Overall the features and technology behind the LG is more superior, Nanocell is as superior as the Qled and Dolby Vision is included. The WebOS is one of the best smart TV OS. It is a battle between VA and IPS panel, VA will win as picture quality is always related to native contrast and VA panel come with much higher contrast and it is easier to boost higher brightness without worrying too much about light bleed issue. This is required for HDR10 at 1000 nits brightness. Color from the KS7500 is attractive but it is actually a little over saturated, if you like more natural colors, it will be the LG. Between the 2 most peoples will take the Samsung, except those who don't like the curved screen.

Dolby uses 12-bit color depth for cinematic Dolby Vision content to avoid any noticeable banding but the format is agnostic to different color depths and works with 10-bit video or panel as well. In fact, Dolby recommends 10-bit color depth for broadcast.

Dolby Vision is designed as an end-to-end HDR process. So from capture through processing and into production, Dolby Vision is designed to preserve information that was originally captured and pass it on. The aim is to give you an HDR experience that's closer to the original by supplying more information.It also tells the display device how bright it should be, rather than provide one value as HDR10 does which stay static, and it can do this for every frame. The idea is that it allows creators to ensure that what you're seeing is what they intended. There is no 12bit TV panel that you can buy now, not even the OLED from LG, but you will get all the benefits or advantage of Dolby Vision even on a 10bit panel.

I think it depends on the sellers, some sellers provide 2+3 that fully covered by the manufacturer over the 5 years with onsite support. The cost for the +3 years they claim back from insurance.

Yeah.. the high brightness is more suitable for showroom, but at home the 1000 nits HDR peak brightness is not watchable for more than 5 mins. So do the proper calibration to reduce the brightness and enhance the overall picture quality based on your own environment.

For streaming on the tv, it is always better to use wired connection and not Wifi.

If you don't want the top & bottom black bars, there is only one option, change the aspect ratio to 16:9 from original, provided you can accept the distorted picture.

55" should be PLS panel but the 65" is VA panel.

Please don't expect to get 10 bits panel on a Samsung low end UHD TV. The 55MU6100 is a PLS 8 bit panel with static contrast of 1000:1. The 55MU7000 is a 10 bits panel.

I can see your connection speed at that time was only 272kb/s, obviously your connection is way too slow to stream the FHD video. What is the actual bandwidth of your internet connection? Are you connecting using Ethernet or Wifi?

This is clearly an issue for most if not all Edge-lit LED TV, just a matter of less or more light bleed. In order for manufacturer to achieve very thin panel for LED TV, the only solution is edge-lit, one good eg. is the LG UH950. But KU6000 or MU6100 are not thin, the only reason could be cost. If don't want to get such issue, go for direct-lit full array LED TV. The local dimming function will work well only with direct-lit full array LED TV as the LEDs can be turned On and Off individually. One of the very good direct-lit full array LED TV is Sony Z9D, no light bleed can be seen.
