I may purchase a 4K TV by end of the year

[Scott Greczkowski]

The Samsung Apps are the best out of any TV brand.

My HU8500 has one HDMI Port that support ARC so if I am watching a program via an app it is output in full surround on my surround sound system. Netflix in 4K is awesome and sounds amazing too!

I barely used the TV last night so I'm still messing around with it. My wife really enjoys the ability to watch Amazon prime on it right now.

Amazon Prime is supposed to offer 4K shortly, that will be a nice addition.

Certainly the best of the ones I have. Vizio, Panasonic, and now Samsung. Have not tried the lg versions.

Check out the Ultraflix App.
It's new and you can stream 4k video within the app. If you sign up now you get all video free.

I would love that. I don't feel much of a need to subscribe to Netflix when I already have Amazon Prime.

I have to admit that the regular HD channels from Dish look spectacular on my TV.

I agree. The upscaling is quite good.

Yep. It's the same. Follow the onscreen directions and your good to go.

My LG went through the same thing.

I watched part of the Lady Gaga / Tony Bennett Concert last night in 4K from Amazon Prime and got to admit it did not look 4K to me... In HD yes but not 4K, it didn't pop like 4K should.

I agree. I watched several 4k programs on Amazon and to me the pq is not on par with Netflix 4k or even YouTube 4k.

Any way of checking what the bitrate Amazon is putting out is?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope. It just says UltraHD when you press the info button.

When I get around to trying it, I will look at the throughput on my switch or router.

Thanks, curious about all of the online 4K & bitrates ...
