Ordered one or these, seems pretty good and a step up from my MU6400 49" which is now gone in the bedroom (And Wow that size in the bedroom is awesome it's like a cinema screen :p).

I curious at if if anyone knows if the 55" will be a VA panel and not IPS, I'd hope to get brilliant or better black levels of the MU6400.

And some talk this does have local dimming but others saying it doesn't, yet on Samsung it does say UHD dimming, is this not the same?

Thanks
 
I shall let you know, getting it on Thursday. Looking at it a bit more some people rekoned it was the replacement for the MU6400, but others the replacement for the MU7000 early serious, either way no solid review of it. I'm no HDRphile or whatever you'd call them but when I watched a film in HDR on my MU6400 I was amazed, and hope this is a bit better. Glad it's going to be VA, weird how everyone raves about IPS for monitors but then VA for TV's.
 
The model numbers are so confusing, I am sure the NU7400 is better than the MU6400, better specs, not to mention it's a 55 as opposed to the 49" and does have better HDR performance, indeed it probably will be meh but it's a better experience than no HDR (Excluding Windows what a nightmare that is)

I loved the MU6400 picture quality was amazing to me, but the 32" was too small even in the bedroom, trying to play on a console I was proper straining even with glasses, now it's like a cinema!

The 55" will be just that bit bigger to be comfertable in the living room, rather than have it in the corner going to re-arrange the room and have it head on, a bout 2 meters from the sofa, with my Wharfedales and eventually a sub, should be a good movie experience!

Pretty sure the 50"+ screens are all VA. All the VA/IPS lottery is with the 43" panel.

Gathered this from the AVForums thread after some research. We're considering one of these as an office TV as it has the decent Smart system with all the apps we need, has the voice remote, a decent enough picture and a great price. HDR might not had all the many nits, but it's an office tv after all.

Can you let me know if it has working NOW TV app please, once it's arrived and setup. Wanting to get rid of the NOW TV sticks.

Just had a quick look before work this morning as it was delivered at 7am, got it set up and immedatly there is a Now TV app, haven't opened it but assume it will be working.

First impressions, great looking TV, great picture out of the box but will look to tweak. Defenitly better than my MU6400 which evidently must have been an IPS as blacks are better on this, slight backlight bleed from the bottom but not much.

The menus were a bit laggy not sure why but isn't normal, updated software and it's a bit better but will have to have a look at that.
 
Can't it pass through DTS through to an amp? surely it won't need DTS if the amp supports it and external speakers?

When you select Movie mode does the picture become darker? and colours duller? for me standard mode is average... as i go down the list it looks like I am watching TV wearing sun glasses....

Initially it does but I think Movie mode actually is better.
