Within its price class, the Samsung does extremely well, arguably delivering a more detailed and subtler picture than similar models from Vizio, and holding up well compared to Sony's XBR55X930D. It’s also one of the better-looking TVs out there, but...

Stand and remote issues aside, the KS9000 is an outstanding TV. Picture quality is excellent straight out of the box, and it didn't take any time at all to bring out its full potential. However, when the 55in model of the KS9000 costs £1,999, it faces...

The UE55KS9000 is a hugely impressive TV – and it certainly shows that there's no need to stick your nose up at LCD tech just yet. OLED might be great, but it still costs a small fortune - and the LCD tech at work here is almost as good. Samsung's...

By Home Cinema Choice on July 29, 2016 90

Most of the time the UE55KS9000 is a stunning TV, delivering all the thrills UHD and HDR can offer. But the edge LED lighting system isn't foolproof and there's no 3D...

By T3 Magazine on July 19, 2016 100

Curved is still the watchword for Samsung's 2016 TV line-up, even if you can get a KS8000 flat version of this, the flagship edge-lit SUHD TV featuring a shopping list of desirable technologies including Quantum Dot tech for a wider colour gamut...

By Whathifi.com on July 06, 2016 100

In the UE55KS9000, Samsung has kept up the pace following the success of last year's sets, and delivered a superb TV at a competitive price for its level.Yes, you will have to accept an edge-lit set and the compromises that come with it, and 3D fans...

The Samsung UE65KS9000 is very close to as good as it gets in TV technology at this present time. The looks are gorgeous with a 360 degree design ethos and a striking curved screen and chassis, while the connectivity options are bang up-to-date and...

By 4k.com on April 07, 2016 93

The bottom line is that the Samsung KS9000 is one excellent choice for a 2016 4K HDR LCD TV if you haven't yet bought one and are looking for a premium model or want top-shelf HDR technology. However, if you're not worried about the best in high...

Samsung UE55KS9000 – Sound Quality I'd feared that the UE55KS9000's slimmer profile versus Samsung's 2015 high-end TVs would have a detrimental effect on its sound quality, but actually it's the best-sounding ‘mainstream' TV Samsung has produced to...

By HDTV Reviews on March 24, 2016

The Samsung UE55KS9000 offered a number of tangible benefits over its JS9000 predecessor: deeper blacks, larger colour gamut, higher peak brightness, wider viewing angles, less flickery black frame insertion, more effective anti-reflective filter and...

International Review By gadgetsmagazine.com.ph on January 23, 2017 80

The Samsung KS9000 SUHD Curved TV is a beautiful television screen that produces beautiful images. Its image-enhancing technologies make anything you project onto the screen stand out. While the audio quality is less commendable, and the source settings...

International Review By techtudo.com.br on January 19, 2017 93

A linha atual de smart TVs da Samsung oferece imagens em 4K e varia entre 49 a 88 polegadas - com preços que vão de R$ 6.599 a R$ 99.999. O TechTudo testou um modelo de 65 polegadas com tela curva que entrou no mercado brasileiro por R$ 20 mil, com uma...

International Review By Les Numériques on September 07, 2016 80

Le Samsung UE55KS9000 offre une image de qualité : les couleurs sont fidèles, les noirs sont profonds, le système de compensation de mouvement est performant et la dalle réactive. Il est handicapé par son système de rétroéclairage Edge Led qui ne peut...

International Review By gadgets.ndtv.com on August 26, 2016 90

The Samsung 65KS9000 SUHD TV is without a doubt one of the best TVs you can buy today. Although it's Rs. 4,40,900 price tag is likely to scare a lot of buyers away, discerning videophiles and television enthusiasts are unlikely to find a TV that offers...
