A KS9500 doesn't have a "QLED" screen
It's Quantum Dot....
KS9500 is a great screen, brilliant HDR.
Still prefer OLED though.

Yes, but Samsungs definition of "QLED" is the 2017 sets.
KS9500 has Quantum Dot, but is classed by Samsung as SUHD
It's all marketing anyway. They just want it to sound like OLED. Same as Hisense and their 'ULED' screens

It's classed as a "78" KS9500 Curved SUHD Quantum Dot Ultra HD Premium HDR 1000 TV"
The "SUHD" stands for Supreme UHD(Dimming) because it's a FALD TV. "Quantum Dot Display Yes" from the site

What about 0LED?
https://m.richersounds.com/#!/product/ACER-H7850 Leaves you £700 for a screen and even a TV if you don't want the projector on all the time.

They are hoping people are too stupid to differentiate between them or mix them up.
An O looks very muck like a Q. e.g. OQOQ
Same goes for a U. e.g. OUOU it's just missing the top bit.
OLED
QLED
ULED
it's easy to see how people would get fooled into buying a non OLED thinking they are buying the same thing.

Are you comparing an OLED to a KS8000? The OLED is in a different league, seriously.
Dolby Vision is supposed to be on a TV with 1000 nits. I don't think there is one out yet(I could be wrong).
I think HLG will be used for UK TV. But then there is "Advanced HDR by Technicolor" in Europe. Take your pick

Can recommend the 65 inch lg C6 OLED.
I'm a huge advocate of the KS range, I personally have a 55" KS7000 and its fantastic. There are some issues with OLED, say with clipping on HDR content. The LG OLEDs did have lag issues but I believe that's been resolved now (US had a firmware update to address it, Europe was waiting for it last time I heard)...
A big part of recommending the KS range though is price, it's is insanely good value where I think OLED still need another year until it's really worth that kind of outlay. At the moment the Samsung KS vs an LG OLED trade blows, each have positives. OLED will eventually win out though. The current OLEDs are fantastic but as a new consumer tech it's no where near maturity so each year will bring gains which could tempt an upgrade.
Samsungs QLED range is a bit of a con, it's not proper Quantum Dot.. They're still fundermentally LCD panels.
It's a difficult time at the moment, spending £3k on a TV... All the improvements that are coming with new formats, also the HDMI spec in 2.1... You really want to wait until end of 2018 if you're spending that kind of money... Its personally what I'm doing, will likely make the move to OLED early 2019, providing the improvements expected materlise.
I'd advise waiting a year and instead spending 1k on a decent 55"... If you absolutely feel the need to spend £3k, go for OLED. You may aswell with that budget.

Ahh 3k for a 65 inch panel is a rip off. OLED/FALD/ whatever.. 3k is a load of cash for a 65inch panel and not worth it. Those saying go for a 65'' OLED vs a 75'' behemoeth obviously haven't seen big screens. Diminishing returns kicks in when they high end 65 inch FALDS start hitting home (this year the 65 inch 902b at £1800).
I love people big upprojectors despite their poor ass IQ in any ambient light yet hate on a huge LCD panel.
PJs are poor value at present as they're holding back 4k.
OLEDs above 55 inches are just so overpriced.
FALDs in general are overpriced too tho.
If you're a pixel peeper, OLED.
If you want that cinematic experience, big screen.

I got a 65" B6 OLED for £2400 last November
Must still be a few bargain B6's out there.

As he has a 3k budget he has a good choice of PJ's and he has a dedicated room. A Sony HW45ES + decent screen will look very good but yes he may need to close the curtains for the best quality, not really much of a hassle

When I was in the market for a TV last year. It had to be 43" max. OLED is 55" minimum. So I couldn't buy an OLED. I went with LG UH750V it fitted my needs perfectly and is a great set.
I have a 50" Panasonic GT50 in the bedroom and 55" Sony in the games room. I'm not in the market for a TV until they die tbh. OLED still too expensive. If they come down to < £1k for a 55" is when I'll buy.
Plasma still got a lot of life left. It's a dream to use and the next best thing to OLED.
Some good ones there. I've had all the top premium 4K brands and I was least impressed with the OLED for 4K
another forum i go on sometimes people are selling their OLED sets and picking up the 902b !!
