No problem. It's a real shame manufacturers haven't been clearer with HDR, since it's basically what makes UHD worth it. I've got several colleagues at work who got 4K TVs on black friday only to be frustrated that they can't see any visible difference, when i told them about HDR on those sets they were more than just a bit miffed. I personally don't think any TV should have the word "HDR" in it's title or description on a retailers site unless it meets the Ultra HD Premium specs.
Samsung KS9000 is a great TV but the KS7000 is the better buy as the KS9000 doesn't really bring much else as they're the same panel. If you can get one close to the KS7000 price though, pull the trigger on it.
Unfortunately you missed out the big sell off they did on them a while ago before their new TVs were announced, the 55" KS7000 was going for £850.
The 49" KS7000 can be hand for £799.99 new from most sites (co-op electrical etc). I'd also check eBay out, you can snap them up normally for around £600 used or refurbished.
If you're going stereo with speakers first, i'd highly recommend the Q Acoustic 3020 (Or 3010), Q Acoustic have been pretty much the #1 speaker maker for bookshelfs giving the best bang for buck for the last few years. Again these can be hand second hand quite widely. Plus if you decide you want floor-standers in future, you can then use them as rears.
If you prefer style speakers, i'd recommend the Q Acoustic 7000, KEF 3005SE, Monitor Audio MASS... But you're going to have to bump your budget up quite a bit for that, style speakers (good ones at least) cost more.
